No. 11-1932, The Men on the Dead M an s Chest by CLIFFORD RAYMOND (WNU Service. PRECEDING EVENTS During a "holdup" at the Dutch Mill, Chicago night club, Dunn Clayton la killed. Lieutenant of Police Stanton question! a visitor, "Buck" Trembly. In Clay, ton'a pocket U a note signed "Malsle," making an appointment-ment appointment-ment with the dead man at the Dutch Mill. Stanton la Inclined to suspect Trembly of the murder; At a Wisconsin winter camp a boisterous bois-terous crowd Includes Preston Brown. An apparent stranger arrives. ar-rives. Later, two men, driving, come on the scene. The stranger leaves In his car, and the two men follow, passing him. A viaduct via-duct is out, and on of the two men removes the danger signals. The stranger goes over the embankment. em-bankment. He Is dead when found. Brown Is dead. In his papers Clayton's name Is found and Stanton connects the deaths. He goes to Wisconsin, and finds the dead man la Trembly. Trembly Trem-bly had caused Brown's death, apparently an accident. A lawyer, John Whlttlesex, reading of the case, recalls the names in connection con-nection with an odd will made by a man named Turner. Turner had bequeathed the Interest on 16,000,-000 16,000,-000 to six men, Blair, Ashley, Roberts, Brown, Trembly, and Clayton. The Income, at the death ot each beneficiary, is to be divided among the rest Turner's Tur-ner's son, at the deaths of the six beneficiaries, Is to Inherit all. Turner dies shortly after making the will, Whlttlesex suspects foul play In the three deaths, and writes to the Chicago police. Stanton Interviews Asa Darling, one of the executors of the will. Darling tells him he believes Turner Tur-ner wanted and expected the six beneficiaries to kill one another, they having In the past Injured him beyond forgiveness., The will Is his method of revenge. Roberts, one of the six named in Turner's will, visits Darling: He tells Stanton Stan-ton and Darling that Blair' and Ashley, supposed to be abroad, are in this country. Ashley and Blair arrive at Mr. Darling's abode. They feign uneasiness at their friends' deaths, evade Stanton's Stan-ton's questioning, though Ashley tells him "Maisie" Is Mrs. Trembly, Trem-bly, and leave the house. Roberts fears he Is the next to die. Coprrliht. The Bobbs-litrrUl Ce. CHAPTER VII Continued "You're amusing, Ron," said Ash ley. "Better watch yourself or you'Jl have a delirium." 'I don't believe I'll lock yon up now, mister," Bald Stanton, "out keep In touch with us, won't you? Don't go anywhere without letting us know. Til have a local Dogberry Dog-berry go to the city with you, and then headquarters will be attentive to you." Blair stared at him and turned to ward the door. "Oh, and another thing, Acton," the lieutenant remarked. "I didn't tell you my last guess. It's that Maisie sent you to Little Butte des Morts." Acton Blair seems to have been born at the age of thirty. No one who knew him ever had got Into an earlier period. He may have been a seafaring man, although the tat tooing on his forearms need or need not Indicate that. Presumably he was American born, but again no one knows. His education had been mostly that of experience, a univer sity he appears to have entered at thirty without previous existence. It may be that an unhanged murderer disappeared about that time. Howard Ashley was the son of a New Haven (Conn.) physician. He was not graduated from Yale, being be-ing expelled In bis Junior year for conduct unbecoming an undergraduate. undergrad-uate. It may have been cheating In examinations, cutting chapel or being be-ing Indifferent to holding them, Yale. This last Is plausible. He was perfect for the crew In strength, weight, rhythm and stamina, stami-na, but did not try for it It would be Irrational to graduate such a man. "Mister," said the lieutenant to Roberts when the door had been closed on Blair and Ashley, departing, depart-ing, "that last remark of yours was an Inspiration." 1 know it was bone. H II I didn't seem able to hold myself. You produced Trembly's murderer here In the room, and then you let him walk out of the door. I know that pair. They'd smile at you and crack you out You see who's next, don't you He's here now with you. Mr. Darling, do you mind If I take a drink? Tm needing one. I have a flask." "Let me continue to be your host" said Mr. Darling. "Pompey will bring you and Lieutenant Stanton Stan-ton some Scotch. And I'll have some wine, if yon please, Pompey. Don't raise the point that I already have had some. You may put another an-other log or two on the fire. I feel a bit of excitement myself, but I'm reprobate enough to find It pleasurable." pleas-urable." Early dusk had begun to dim -the day, and the firelight was ruddier In the room. Roberts drank his whisky straight and, with a look of request and apology at Mr. Darling, poured himself a second. "I think we've disturbed Mr. Dar-Eng Dar-Eng enough for tlie day," said the lieutenant No disturbance, none whatpvpr." said the old gentleman. "I doubt that Pompey agrees with you. We'll get along." "I might be told first what Mr. Roberts expects to do, not that it is properly my concern other than to see that he receives his December Decem-ber check." "I don't know what to do," said Roberts. "You can see my chances. It won't help If I decline to receive any more checks. I'm to be put out of the way unless I can protect myself. my-self. By G d, I'll have them taken for a ride. There are a hundred men in New York who would do it for a thousand dollara They'd do It for a hundred, for ten.' "I'd not announce It In advance," said Stanton, "and particularly not to a police officer." "You know why I've got to. You know it's self-defense. You know he's already murdered a man. You know they're killing us off." "I don't know If said Stanton. "If I did they wouldn't have walked out of the room. I'm only guessing." guess-ing." "Yes, guessing. Well, Td rather you guessed that I was alive because be-cause they were dead than that they were alive because I was dead. That's what it comes to, I can't go back to New York tonight But how am I to know that they have gone? They may stay here in New-burgh.,, New-burgh.,, "If I may use Mr. Darling' telephone, tele-phone, I'll loose the Dogberrys on them." "There's the extension here on the table and there's an instrument In a closet off the hall." said Mr. Darling. Dar-ling. "I'll not bother you with the mysteries mys-teries of police business," said the lieutenant "IH use the other phone." ' When he returned Roberts was bracing himself with another drink of Scotch. They will be quietly escorted In to New York," the lieutenant said, "and from then on the watchful eye will be In the middle of their backs. Now, Roberts, here we are In a case which stumps me to think of the like of It It seems that the only thing I can do, as John Law confronted con-fronted w?th one transparent killing kill-ing and two fairly plausible ones is to wait for another." "Will you let me stay at your ho tel with you tonight?" Roberts asked. "I'll figure out something. Maybe I can go back to Chicago with you. It may not be as hopeless hope-less as I think. I might be able to get West If I could get away from San Francisco, I might be able to disappear somewhere in the Far East somewhere In the Pacific Islands." Is-lands." He brightened perceptibly In tone and confidence of motion as he walked to and fro on the hearthrug. hearth-rug. 4Tve got sixty thousand dollars a year now Instead of thirty thousand dollars. That's right Isn't it Mr. Darling?" "Owing to the fact that Mr. Clayton, Clay-ton, Mr. Brown and Mr. Trembly are no longer where they can receive re-ceive checks, you are quite right Mr. Roberts." "Well, now, sixty thousand dollars dol-lars a year is money. It gives a man freedom. He can live where It's pleasant and convenient He can take measures to protect hlm-selt hlm-selt If I can get a fair break at the start That's all Til need. Now, if Lieutenant Stanton will help, I know I can rely on Mr. Darling." "We'll be leaving, Mr. Darling." said Stanton. "Shall I see you again, Lieutenant?" Lieuten-ant?" the old gentleman asked, holding hold-ing out his hand. , "I hope so. 1 must be going back tomorrow after I've gone down to New York. I've always said I was no detective, but this beats even my usual experience. I get my man! rm nursemaid to the handsome gentleman gen-tleman who expects to be murdered. That's all I've got to show for my expense account Come along, Mr. Roberts. And good day to you, Mr. Darling." . It was late dusk as Stanton and Roberts walked toward the Palatine, Pala-tine, They passed by the Hasbrouck house. ... -You might go In there a while tomorrow," said Stanton. "Where? In there? Why?" "It's Washington's headquarters. What of It?" "Oh, go In and look at Czal reut Chief. There's only one grave I want to see, and it Isn't filled yet" -You discount Ashley, don t your T can handle him." -Canyon? Td guess that in this elimination he'd be the survivor. Don't be ridiculous. What makes rou think that?" -Just looking at you "I must send some, telegrams," he said. "I must go to the local chief's office and I may be able through him and by telephone to avoid going to New York." "Do you think youll be gone long?" "I'd not think so. Why? You needn't be alarmed here in the hotel." ho-tel." "Sometimes you seem simple-minded, simple-minded, Lieutenant You ought to know that often the safest places are the most dangerous." "I'd get hold of myself if I were you, mister. You're safe here." "When you are back I must buy some linen and things. I'll get a room and wait for you here In the lobby." When Stanton returned a half-hour half-hour later, Roberts was in a leather leath-er chair in a smoking corner. "I got a r om with two beds," he said, "and I've had your things moved Into it Don't mind, do you? I'll feel easier. I meant to speak to you about it" "I doubt that you did, Roberts. You preferred to have it done, and then tell me about It I dont mind, If it makes you any happier. The furnishing stores are down the hill In the old town. You'd getter go and make your purchases before dinner." "I'm not going down there alone." "All right I'll go with you, Ashley Ash-ley and Blair are on their way to New York, but I can't afford to report re-port back home without you alive. So come along, and then well have dinner." CHAPTER VIII A Night Visitor at Room 510. AT DINNER Stanton said he was going to the movies and that his companion might please himself, remain In the hotel or accompany him. Roberts was glum for a moment mo-ment and then smiled. "I'll go with you. I don't mind hick-town amusements. I like them." "If the movies are hick the big lie I J three, I ton told his companion to get himself him-self s room. "The Door," Said Roberts, towns are the center of the sticks,' said Stanton. "I know, but I only enjoy the movies when I'm laid up In a small place." "Come on then. I'm a two-show man, mister, when I get a chance, and I saw by the signs that John Gilbert In Twelve Miles Out' is at one place and Sid Chaplin in 'Char ley's Aunt at anotner. They claimed their overcoats from the checkroom and walked along the shadowy street leading to the Newburch white way, "I suppose you think Tm an awful coward." said Roberts at they walked. "I'm not always. I've had mv share of dancer. There's some kinds I haven't dodged. I fought man with a pistol placed in the middle of a table. You stand two feet away, and at a signal the man who eets the gun uses it. "Did you cheat?" asked Stanton. Not much. Just enough to keep him from cheating more, I5ut l didn't shoot him." -Afraid to?" "No. I couldn't shoot a man who didn't have a gun." "I hone he appreciated It "He took a shot at me a half-hour half-hour later, and then I had to wing Here's the Great White Way," said the lieutenant as they turned Into the brilHantb lighted main street of the newer Newburgh on the top of the bluff above the old town which starts at the river's edge. "Here's the Chaplin nearest We'll take the first show here, and John Gilbert next' "You're a curious copper." -You may be right there, mister, but it isn't because I like the Tt's because I do dumb iuvii. , , m Vnn're Drooauiy one m. things. Roberts was amused by -Charley' Aunt" but he was depressed by -Twelve Miles Out" "Cheerful lot of gore, that finish," he said as they walked back to the hotel, 'Looked like Blair and Ash-ley Ash-ley shooting each other's heads off. They would grin and yell at each other Just that way. Ghastly pair of crooks. I never knew Blair to have the slightest compunction In anything he ever did. Nor Ashley either. Something they did to Tur ner got us in this mess." "Meaning sixty thousand dollars a year for you?" "I need the money because I've got it If you can figure that out I'd be well off if I'd never heard of it What do you want to do, smoke a cigar In the lobby or turn In? feel restless." 'Til smoke a cigar with you, but fm not restless and I'm about ready for sleep." "Lucky cuss you are, Stanton. Got nothing to make you nervous or restless." "I've got you." "I said lucky cuss. You might have Blair. I once saw him strangle a black boy In Haiti who tried to slice him. Did it slowly, as If it were a pleasure," -. . "What did you, the six of you, do to Turner?" the lieutenant asked. "Fm going to make you come clean on that sooner or later." "I don't know anything about it whatever it was. I swear I don't" "All right It will be later, then.' "Did I tell you I've telegraphed for a drawing room or compartment when we pick up the train at Albany? I'll not trust an open Pull man. Ill get a magazine and go up to the room with you now if you want to." He went to the cigar and maga tine counter and came back with several periodicals. He looked about as they stepped into the ele vator and glanced each way in the traverse hall on their room floor. When their door was locked he seemed relieved. The lieutenant made ready for bed. . "I'll only keep this reading lamp on," said Roberts. "That won't dis turb you, will It?" "No, nothing will disturb me,1 said the lieutenant stretching out Later he was awakened by Roberts Rob-erts who was shaking him. When he opened his eyes In a daze Rob erts signaled him to be silent "Listen," he said. Stanton raised himself and saw that Roberts bad a pistol in his hand. "The door," said Roberts. He spoke In a whisper. For a second or two Stanton did not hear anything. Then there was the sound unmistakably of a key touching the lock outside. Appar ently some one was trying to put It in the keyhole blocked by the key inside. As soon as this was be yond doubt the lieutenant got out of bed. What are you doing?" Roberts asked nervously. "See who It Is," said Stanton. "Walt Where's your gun?" "I don't need a gun," said Stan ton as be turned the key and pulled the door back. Roberts Instantly stepped behind blm. The door opened on a whiff of liquor and a fat man who blinked. Stanton looked at blm and smiled. "Wrong room, brother," he said. The fat man's expression seemed to contradict that statement Ue said nothing, but he stood bis ground and blinked. "Wrong room," the lieutenant re peated. The fat man then looked at the metal disk attached to his key. "Six-ten," he said to prove he was right "Five-ten. Wrong floor." -Wrong floor? Not possible. That Is six." "Go to the elevator and begin all over." "All right I'll be back here. Six ten." "You come back here, and I'll pinch you. I'm a copper. On your way. brother. Take some advice of the elevator boy." Stanton closed and locked the door. "Do you think that fellow was drunk?" Roberts asked. "I wouldn't be so sure he was,' said Stanton as be got into bed. "I'd say be wasn't" "He probably was. Touch of act ing about him, but probably he bad made a mistake In bis floor and was trying to cover by seeming more stupid than he was." -You're a good old Dogberry yourself, Stanton. That fellow bal a purpose. He may have been only a bird dog I never saw him before, but then they wouldn't use a fellow fel-low I ever bad. If I bad opened the door myself you'd have been awakened sooner or later. It probably prob-ably would have been by a draft through the open door, an2 you'd have stepped on me when you got up. They're working on the case. You can bet an that TO BS coxtuotsxo Keep Close Track of Farm Expenses Some Simple Budgeting Form Is Imperative for Good Management. Organization of the farm for more economical management and the use of a budget to determine the needs and income of the owner are two Items to be considered by every North Carolina farmer In 1032. This thought was developed by committees on farm management and reorganization at the regional meetings held by the agricultural extension service of the State col lege. "A simple form of budgeting is recommended for farm and family receipts and expenses for the next year," says the report "This bud get should consider first those Items which the farm itself will produce In the living of the family and should Include such items as feed, seed, food, and fuel. Second the budget should consider those Hems which must be purchased such as fertilizer, taxes, hired labor, cloth Ing, medical care and the like. After the minimum cash needs of the farm have been determined, the farm business should be studied so that cash enough to meet these needs might be produced." "By using average yields per acre and production figures, every farm er can approximate what be may expect from his land and live stock in one year," says R. H. Rogers, farm management specialist at the State, college. Cash crops should be restricted in 1932 to meet the budget requirement of minimum cash for the year and even further If it interferes with producing the entire living at home. The coming year Is also a period when many needed physical improvements im-provements might be made In the farm equipment Much terracing, ditching, repair work and other Improvement Im-provement might be made at little cash outlay. Mr. Rogers says the coming season will not offer much In the way of cash Income and It Is Imperative that the suggestion of the farmers' committees be care fully followed.

M. Salter, Ohio ag ronomist. "Ten tons of fresh mixed manure from horses and cattle will contain about 00 pounds of nitrogen, nitro-gen, 45 pounds of phosphoric add and 75 pounds of potash," he says. "To carry an equnl amount of fertility fer-tility it would require 6G0 pounds of nitrate of soda, 225 pounds of 20 per cent superphosphate and 150 pounds of muriate of potash. "A 16-year test at Wooster, Ohio, shows that four tons of manure applied to corn In a four-year rotation rota-tion has given Increased crops per rotation worth $8.05 at present farm prices, while an equal amount of chemical fertilizers gave additional addi-tional crops worth $9.03 per rotation." rota-tion." Because one-half of the nitrogen and phosphorus and nearly all the potash are soluble In water, farmers farm-ers should protect manure from leaching and get It on the fields as fresh as possible.

The cooperative co-operative hog feeding trial with the John Monroe herd of hogs was completed recently as a continuation continua-tion of the ground rye trial that was conducted a year ago. Ths gains In pork during this trial were 2.800 pounds, making a feed requirement of 403 pounds of ground rye with pasture free choice! to make 100 pounds of pork. The market value of this grain at $3.70 per hundredweight amounts to $105.82, making the value of the ground rye Bl1 cents per bushel.

Woodland Work Working In the woods was the regular winter Job In the East in earlier days, and still Is so where woods remain In appreciable area. Now the idea is Improvement of the scattering woodland rather than slashing It down. A sunshiny day in winter is an especially good time to look the woods over. The tops can be seen clearly then, and trees getting past their best noted more carefully than In summer. It is quite surprising how much in the way of both timber and fuel can be removed from 20 acres of our com mon woodland without robbing it of anything that would be Improved by another year of standing room.
