"Please don't, Howard," the woman wom-an said. , "Excuse me, Maisie. Sorry, but you'll not mind If I say It was about a month. No reflection on you. It's Just Acton. Where is the old devil sitting? Oh, there he Is, see, over there. Never mind looking at Acton. Ac-ton. We've seen him before. Give his lady a look. Beauty? You don't know the half of It I do. I introduced in-troduced Mr. Blair to that lady. When less than a month from now Acton tells that lady he thinks hell be on his way, he will be but he won't know where. Nemesis, Maisie. Acton is on hla way to the coroner. cor-oner. There you are, Lieutenant, murder as plain as day. Poor Acton, Ac-ton, no chance. Do you want to take me In charge? Mr. Blair hasn't a chance. He hasn't half the chance of Clayton In the Dutch Mill, of Brown against the hunting knife, of Trembly with the red lights out or of Roberts with the open window. What he's tip against Is temperament, tempera-ment, his own and the lady's. I know the lady, and he doesn't The sucker -never gets an even break. And. why should he? Maybe you think you ought to warn Him. Why not? You're a policeman. Here's a crime shaping tip under your nose. He'd laugh at you. I don't know what the lady would do, but I think that just at this moment she'd laugh at yoiL- I think they'd have you sit down and amuse them. She might swear at you in three or four languages. lan-guages. She Is adept Funny thing I The first time I saw that lady she still had the knife In her hand. I don't want to elaborate, but it was red. There was a drop which was slowly growing big enough at the point to fall. Fascinating sort of thing to watch. The gentleman In error was on the floor. That was in Sumatra. The verdict In effect was that the gentleman was not only a d n scoundrel but a d n foot Coming back from Hawaii who was on the boat but the tiger-lily. tiger-lily. They're going to dance. Watch them." y :';;. -: "Do yon know the lady?" Stanton asked Maisie. "I never saw her. Pve never heard of her." "Is Ashley kidding us?" the lieutenant lieu-tenant asked. "How should I know? Do you mean did Howard see her with the knife and a drop forming on it? Maybe." "There's your exhibit, Lieuten ant." said Ashley, turning half around. "You're a remarkable de tective, don't you know. You're the only one who ever started with the solution of a series of murders before be-fore they were committed and knew just what to expect before It hap pened, and then couldnt do anything any-thing about it after It had.

That impression Is derived from admiration of you Justify me by letting me know if yon have any information as to this liquidation of my old friend Tom Turner's passion for getting even, and believe me your servant to command com-mand and your friend. "Most cordially, "Asa Darling." The news was not astonishing to Stanton, but it was news. He found he was sorry that Ashley had not survived, an odd regret but one which the fate of the cheerful assassin as-sassin somehow could evoke. The next morning, April 18, he read in the Tribune a short story from Paris, which gave the outlines of the event The relation of Blair and Ashley to the Turner will had been forgotten or was unknown, and the police Intelligence as to the deaths of the two Americans was delayed de-layed In reaching the news distributing distribut-ing centers. Stanton read that an American named Blair had Bhot a fellow countryman coun-tryman named Ashley In a quarrel 'Delilah for You, Out With Samson." Mri Stepping on f-L i twTv 8 toat TT MIGHT Interest you,' 1 about the last thine Ashley said to Stanton, "to know that I'm going to take care of Maisie. That girl has always fixed her clock so she never bad even a good chance at a breach-of-promlse suit and of course she's never been within miles of alimony or a dowry. She's been a fine girl, but prudence hasn't been her partner, and she won't have much she can take to the bank. So Maisie and I will regard ourselves as the surviving veterans of this war. What would you think of ns settling down In an Italian garden by an Italian lake, with poplars and cypress? An Italian moon and Maisie playing Chopin. Home from the wars." April 17 the lieutenant had a letter let-ter from Mr. Darling. After greetings, greet-ings, he wrote: "You may or may not know that Blair and Ashley are dead. If you know that you have all the informa tion regarding It that I have. A cablegram from Juan les Pines, Alpes Maritime, France, signed Maisie and received yesterday, tells me that Blair and Ashley have been shot and killed. I recall that yon inquired of a woman named Maisie when you met Roberts, Ashley and Blalr'here with me, and It Is my recollection that one of them told you she was Mrs. Arthur Trembly. It must be she who has cabled me. I am Inclined to accept It as true. "Nevertheless I am curious, albeit I am also convinced ; but here ts another an-other thought I have seen nothing of this In the new I read the papers pa-pers with the fidelity of an old man who keeps contact with the world by reading. It seems odd that Elalr and Ashley could kill each other or be killed without a paragraph of news escaping to this country. 1 over a woman who had shot and killed the murderer. The woman was thought to be an Eurasian. An odd reversal of all expectations, expecta-tions, Stanton thought Ashley killed by Blair, Blair killed by the woman. The Turner will had been administered. The outraged gold-hunter gold-hunter had accomplished his full purpose. He could rest easy. The men who had Injured him had been extinguished by his purpose arising out of his grave. He bad had fun. April 24 Stanton had a letter from France. It was post-marked Juan les Pines. The envelope was addressed In a feminine hand, but the letter Inclosed was from Ash ley, who had written: "I have a sort of affection for you, Loot You've been so d n square in a situation which could drive a copper either nutty or crooked or both. I came to like you, you old fathead. Thank me for nothing, you say. So say I. But the thing has become so comic that I must tell you about It I am your boy friend who didn't have any Idea how deep the water was. - Acton has DroKen all precedents. He remains Infatuated. Infat-uated. His gal has had a million names. Let's call her now Mar-cella. Mar-cella. Laugh this off. Acton Is faithful, and she Is trifling with me. Maisie urges me to get away.

But then you know that You're a good copper or I wouldn't be writing to you, Watch your step. What do you think of me as the victim of Mar- cella's affection? Maisie says go .mv. So It may be. But not just a nirt Elalr Is Just a fat- UUW. Once a fathead always a rat head. He hasn't got a chance.

She looked like a reptile to me. and -1 think uoward was truthful when be said sue was poison to him but she was beautiful. That doesn't quite seem he word. And it wouldn't be love-'y. love-'y. It had to be something poisonous, poison-ous, and she did not try much to disguise dis-guise it. Probably that is why Blair was Infatuated. He may have fallen really n iove with the little brute because she was vile and dangerous. danger-ous. "I do not know whether she really was attracted to Howard or Just wanted to make trouble. Maybe he was the type of man who could fas-cinate fas-cinate her, Just as Acton was the type of man who could be fascinated by her. "If he'd been Interested in the girl Maisie would have pulled her own freight, but I was sure he wasn't and I am sure now. It was Just his wild contrariness. The night It happened, which, come to think of It, was night before last we were at dinner separately, that Is Howard and I, and Blair and the poison. Blair left her for a moment and she motioned to Howard to come to her table. He did, and as he was talking to her he did not see Blair behind him. Blair shot hlra. She got up, went to Blair's side, took his gun from him as If she thought of hiding it and shot him. He fell on top of Howard and there you were. Then she began to shriek. That seems to be the end of the Turner will as a police case. There's a boy, Isnt there, who Inherits? In-herits? It was wicked to keep him from his father's money, but then It was the father who did, and he knew what he wanted. I suppose the police will make It more or less un comfortable for me for a while, but when I am permitted to I am returning. re-turning. I hrve some money. Ash ley was generous to me, but he was extravagant In everything he did and there never was much to lay aside. I'm retiring to scratch un a respectable living. As a careerist I'm quite plainly through, but a fel low continues to live. When I can I'll see you, If you have an Interest Inter-est for more details. The police here will think funny Tm writing to a lieutenant of Chicago police, and when you take another look at It isn't it funny? Adios. "Maisie." The lady was right as to the French police. Commissioner Russell Rus-sell had a cablegram of Inquiry which Stanton answered by letter giving an outline of the Turner will crimes and making plain Malsle's lack of complicity. That he thought might help her. Another letter brought young Mr. Turner back to mind, being from him. He Inquired if any of the men involved in his father's will had dependents de-pendents who might be suffering from what bad been caused by It He wrote : "You know I would not have interfered, in-terfered, If I could, to prevent my father and these men having it out to his satisfaction, but as to other people, that la an entirely different matter. We are to have so much money that It will be almost disturbing, disturb-ing, and I know that if my father thought that in having It out with these men he had hurt a canary bird or kitten belonging to one of them he would have been hurt him self. So let me know, Lieutenant if yon know of any canaries. We think we'll add another half acre to the garden and maybe buy a Vermont Ver-mont farm. Drop in on us some time. Mr. Darling sends you his regards and expresses his hope to see you again." Stanton sent the young man the name and story of Maisie and had in return a telegram reading. "Good. Get her address." Later In the year. In July, the lieutenant was back In the East, on leave from the Chicago department and on a duty which contained more personal distress dis-tress than he had experienced In any other police case. Young Tur npr imnlored him to come. Mr. Dar- lintr and his servant Pompey bad found dead In the Newburgh home. It was the opinion of Mr. Darling's Dar-ling's physician that his patient bad died of a heart attack as he sat In his chair. Pompey had fallen In the hull, his head resting on a chair. An Injury at the base of his skull could Indicate a blow. It could also be explained as a consequence of his fall. It seemed fairly incredible incred-ible that Mr. Darling and his serv ant had died hand in nana, as it were, of natural causes, but It would have been accepted as tne iaci u n not been found beyond question that the house had been entered. On Mr. Darling's table-ana mis was ASKS THE REASON FOR OLD CUSTOM Service Plate Worrie. Thi Old Timer. "I go about so little, and am so generally unsophisticated, that my knowledge of service plates, and the rules and regulations governing them, Is pretty much of the hearsay kind," said Mr. Cato Nlnetalls. "I think that I have compassed the where and when of them, but I am still extremely ex-tremely foggy about the why. Of practical utility, I have not been able to discover the slightest trace. The argument that the diner should not sit at table with nothing before him strikes me ns fallacious, for nothing could possibly be emptier than a service plate. On the other hand, beauty, as we all know, Is Its own excuse for being, and many of the service plates have as high claims to beauty as anything that can be displayed on the prandial board. "Whether beauty is appetizing de pends, I suppose, on the tempera ment ot the diner. Doubtless It makes some people hungry to start their dinner by gazing at an exquisite exquis-ite example of the ceramic art but with most of us I am afraid that it Is not a wholly effective substitute for the hors-d'oeuvre. I am still further hampered In my efforts to understand the situation by my extremely ex-tremely material mind with Its strong trend In favor of labor sav lng and efficiency. The service plate has to be put on by somebody. Assuming As-suming that it Is a decoration, as It undoubtedly Is, it seems to me that It ought to be allowed to stay on the table and decorate Instead of being removed at the expense of further labor. Not only Is It re moved, butif hearsay has correct ly informed me it Is returned to Its business of decorating; that Is, of presenting something for the diner to look at other than the cloth, I can't find any reason why he should not look at the cloth, which In all probability also Is beautiful, and in many cases is an exquisite example of the weaver's, the embroiderer's or the lacemaker's art or perhaps combination of all of them. "Please understand that I am not offering any objection to, or making argument against, service plates. I'm merely trying to get their raison d'etre through my head, A custom that has been so widely adopted by so many people of the highest culture cul-ture and Intelligence must have other oth-er Justification than mere imitation. All customs start with a reason of some kind, and some of them, In the course of time, may even get back to It; so I am not without hope that some day I shall find out what It Is, for all things come to him who waits. "As an eminent physician, Buck goes about a good deal more than I do, so It occurred to me to sound him on the subject. "'Buck, I said, 'how do jou re gard service plates on a dinner ta ble?' " "'Apprehensively,' he replied, Whenever a meal starts with serv Ice plates It's a sure sign that I'll use the wrong fork before it Is over.'
