Vince was Installed In a small room and seemed to be more cheerful.- His one worry now was his landlady and the fear that she might dispose of the paraphernalia parapher-nalia for his cherished experiments when the. rent was due. "How much are you paying for your room?" Jacqueline asked. "Three dollars a week. My rent is paid for the next two days." ,"I will see her tomorrow and tell her that nothing is to be disturbed Only nine thousand dollars left! until you get back. 1 will see about the rent Where is the house?" "Three-eighteen Elder street. It isn't so bad." Vince located it in a general way for his daughter, and her heart sank again. It must be rather dreadful, she decided. In the heart of a factory district . Vince listened to the account of her interview with the doctor with a slight show of interest. "I'll pay you back soon," he insisted in-sisted doggedly. "You know. Skipper Skip-per . . ." His face brightened. "I'm right on the edge of a big break now . . . Or I was. Just as soon as the money starts coming in, you and I will set up in a decent place. It's been lonely for you, I guess. The same as it has for me. You might start looking around for a good location . . And you needn't think about expense, either!" Bless his heart Jacqueline thought. How familiar it all sounded. sound-ed. What would Vince say if he knew,, , . everything? CHAPTER VII The "following afternoon, Jacqueline Jacque-line turned a startled face to the door of her office in answer to a sharp tap. "It's a pinch," said a quiet voice. "How are you today?" "Oh . . . Lieutenant Staples! You startled me . , ." "Yeah?" The slender man, who entered the office and helped himself to a chair, was about as far removed from the general conception of a detective as one could well imagine. His face was peculiarly ingenuous, almost boyish. The entire top of his head was bald, pink and shining. He was not an infrequent visitor in the h6tel and the stenographer's office. In the nearly two years of their acquaintance, acquaint-ance, Jacqueline had learned that Staples was one of the city's best sleuths and his recent promotion to a lieutenancy had been due to a bit of especially brilliant work. "Keep you pretty busy, do they?" "Not as busy as I would like." "I suppose not Things are pretty dull everywhere. Guess a good deal of your business in here is with guests . . transients?" "Most of it is." "I figured it was." Staples' bald head came about slowly. "Ever do any work for a guest by the name of Cutter?" Jacqueline's heart skipped a beat For a second, everything was misty j n ' H gave her $10,000 In V. 8. bonds as surety. Several weeks later JacqueHnc learned that her father was In a hospital. hos-pital. She hurried to see him, and found him thin and haggard. Now continue with the story. A policeman asking her about . . . Larry! About her husband! "Cutter . . ." she murmured, staring at the keyboard of her machine ma-chine as if in an effort to remenv ber. She even achieved a slight puckering of her smooth brows. "Oh. I know whom you mean, now." Jacqueline marveled at her own composure. "He did give me some work. Several times." "Happen to remember who he wrote to? Or what the letters were about?" "No. I take dictation on my machine. ma-chine. I never remember what I write."- The little stenographer's heart was beating fast. It was almost the same thing that Larry had asked. And he had suggested it might be well for her to recall his letters He had said something about an "alibi." "ali-bi." Was there some reason for his saying that? Was this the reason?" "I guess they were Just business letters, or you would have remembered," remem-bered," the lieutenant mused. His eyes were on the lobby again. "I'm sure they were." Jacqueline was thinking fast She must try to find out what this call meant. No time now to analyze reasonswhether rea-sonswhether it was an instinctive desire to protect herself. Or Larry. But she must know. Her face was as artlessly frank as Staples' when she asked: "Is he a ... bad man?" She had intended to say "crook." But the word would not come. "Blest if I know, Miss Anthony.' We got nothing on him, if that's what you mean. We're always sort of interested in strangers. ' That's all." - "Please tell me more about Mr. Cutter," Jacqueline urged Lieutenant Lieuten-ant Staples. "It sounds very exciting." excit-ing." "Sounds goofy to me, to tell you the truth. There's a fellow comes to me and asks me to sort of keep an eye on Cutter. I'm not mentioning men-tioning any names, but this first guy is . . . well, he's quite a somebody. some-body. Otherwise, I'd have shooed him away. He didn't have any charges to prefer and didn't want to have any official check-up made. Just tipping me off in a fatherly way for whatever good it might do me. Wanted me to act in a sort of private capacity . . ." Staples permitted himself a slight smile. "I was for letting it all go in one ear and out the other, until he happened hap-pened to mention that this fellow was the son of old John Cutter. Then I thought it wouldn't hurt to, play along a little." "John Cutter?" Jacqueline repeated. re-peated. "Yeah. Sort of a mystery that never was quite cleared up. He was one of them inventor nuts." "Oh." "Married into a little money when he was young and spent most of his life puttering around with his stunts. Had a place about 20 miles out in the country. Quite a ranch, I guess. Anyways, he seemed to stumble onto something that was going go-ing to revolutionize something. Blossomed Blos-somed out at the head of a concern and built a factory. Jobbed stock around among his friends. There's always a flock of suckers . . ." "I suppose there are." "Well, something slipped. No one seems to know whether the whole thing was a phoney or whether old Cutter was a miss-fire when it came to business. He claimed he lost all his money and it's a cinch the suckers suck-ers were taken for a ride. Cutter eventually was indicted for fraud." "Was he found guilty?" "No. Dead. Not long before he was to stand trial. From what 1 can find out there was some evidence evi-dence of foul play. It seems to have made quite a stir. Then it was passed up as suicide. Cutter's wife and son faded out of the picture. Now the boy's back in town and apparently not doing much of anything. any-thing. Seems prosperous enough May be nothing to it you know." "You say he isn't here." "Oh, no, I didn't I said he was here. As a matter of fact he came back today." "He did!" Jacqueline could not repress a little start "Yea. He registered about one o'clock. I just happened to stumble stum-ble on that one by dumb luck. That's all detecting is. anyway. It just occurred to me you might have met him in your official capacity . . . taken some dictation. If he has any letters to write that sound tricky. I'd appreciate your tipping ofT a pal. So long." Jacqueline sat at her desk scarcely scarce-ly breathing Her brain was in a whirl. She had resolutely refrained from questioning Larry; just as res olutely had she smothered the little doubts that had arisen in her mine from time to time. As she tried to assemble it alt in her numb brain. Jarqueline wa aware of a persistent thought I' grew until it overshadowed all else She was Larry's wife. The polio were watching him. Just where did her duty lie 'TORECOXTIMtD' Kathleen Norris Says: You Should Spoil Your Family (Bell Syndicate WNU Service.) ly A icije told me once that when her husband taid to her, early in their married life, "l never heard you tay a cheap or mean thing about anyone,'' the made up her mind that he never would. By KATHLEEN NORRIS DO YOU spoil your family? fam-ily? You should. These are terrible times when we need everjihing that love can do for us; we need to hold on to love to go on believing be-lieving in it. And poiling is love. Love fulfills the la It is all that human hearts need. A man may be rich, popular, young, successful. But if his wife doesn't love him he can't possibly be a happy nian. He may think he can win to happiness hap-piness by divorcing his wife, making a highly satisfactory arrangement for his children, finding a more affectionate woman. But nine times out of ten he marries ! exactly the same type of woman, just as cold and calculating as the first. So that doesn't work. . Another man may be poor. He may not be a great success in business. busi-ness. Other men may be stepped up over his head, and there may be doctors' bills and filial obligations always ready to jeopardize the budget. budg-et. But if in his little house there is abundance of loving; children racing rac-ing to meet him; an old mother smiling smil-ing as she puts the forks and glasses on the supper table; a sweet woman , wnm tho aaa ctnv fnr hie ILU ll.il g UU1U homecoming kiss, that man is rich. Must Be Preserved. Love is no accident It is life's inexhaustible miracle. But it has to be preserved, held sacred. When a woman regards her marriage- as merely a springboard to social success, suc-cess, clothes, entertainment, flirtations flirta-tions sham is the sham gold she pays for her improved position. But when it is real marriage, when the wife feels that having chosen, she has sealed her fate, she puts real love into it. And the difference is that between the poles. Spoiling his family means, for a man, sometimes to consider their point of view; to try to put himself into his wife's place, into bis children's chil-dren's places, and think of what they want from him; what would make them happy. Instead of merely mere-ly shoving his hand into his pocket and giving her some money, let him add a little sympathetic inter, est to the money. Just saying, "Don't you get awfully tired catering cater-ing to us, Mary?" or "I notice Mummy Mum-my isn't getting much out of that for herself!" will make her heart fly up like a bird. A wife told me once that when her husband said to her, early, in their married life, "I never heard you say a cheap or mean thing about anyone, darling," she quieUy made up her 20 -year-old mind that he never would. To have Dad take a tender interest in a small boy's homework, or say sympathetically, "What can I do to keep you from worrying about that Mummy?" is to insure happiness to one woman, anyway. Avoid Lamentations.; The wife's job of spoiling the fam-Uy fam-Uy means only beir.g kind. Not nervous, not critical, not eager to retail all the bad. depressing, frightening fright-ening news possible at the end of the day. but looking serenely ahead to better times, and unafraid to go forward. It is an absolute duty for us all to refrain from lamentations and vain regrets new; to keep up our hearts; not to cry until were 'tirt WE NEED LOVE NOW With the world apparently going to pieces around us, we need love now more than ever. And Kathleen Norris believes that "spoiling" your family just means loving them, giving giv-ing them a little more, rather than a little less, attention than necessary, and trying to give them what they want, not what you want them to want. No one can be really happy without love, and the poor man who has an adoring wife is far richer than the man of means whose wife regards her marriage to him merely as a stepping stone to social success. suc-cess. And the happy man or woman is prepared to face an uncertain future with the hope and courage that only love can give them. Here is a letter that may have a suggestion in it for some wives. It comes from a Chicago husband; he is 40, the wife two years younger; they have two small boys. "Marie is a fine cook and a good manager," he writes, "and we own our small home. The boys go to public school; we can pay our bills, and though my wife is pretty much of a home body we do coax her out to picnics or movies now and then But she's so darned b-l-u-e! And I don't know what to do about it "She sits silent at the table, some-times some-times sighing. Or if she quotes a headline it's always a depressing one. When she sends the boys off to school she says Jim is just like her father, completely irresponsible, and that she hopes Ned isn't starting another cold. The Brown's are losing los-ing their lovely place; they think what Anna has is cancer; it looks as if Harry and Margaret were going to get a divorce. "Customarily my wife begins the day on a long groan. While I'm half-asleep I hear her 'Oh, dear, Tuesday again! I ought to see Mabel; Ma-bel; she's been home a week. Oh, dear, that means we ought to ask them here, and the rug isn't back. You never can trust those people. Oh, rain again. No wonder the children chil-dren get colds. Now I suppose eggs will go up. I hate and despise this sort of a day. I'm afraid you're going go-ing to have a stupid birthday, dear. I hate to go to the bother of making mak-ing a cake because you're on a diet and it's bad for the boys, and 1 don't know what to give you I'd so much rather you'd pick yourself a present' Wife Is Not Well. "This goes on indefinitely, and I'm sure it's bad for all of us," the letter let-ter ends. "Will you make a suggestion sug-gestion that may cheer a good, kind, devoted wife? And thanks in advance, ad-vance, Jay Bee." Well, my first suggestion, "Jay Bee," is that your wife isn't well. She's showing every symptom of sluggish insides. I know this isn't either a romantic or a popular solution, solu-tion, but if she can get her system to working perfectly, her spirits will rise with every mile she walks. It is almost impossible to be depressed de-pressed if one is in really good health. Just utter wellness, such as small children sometimes feel. Then no future seems alarming, and do duty anything but a joy. and the whole world sings. Rain is a miracle, mira-cle, snow a breath-taking delight, and the power and opportunity to serve one's own beloved ones ar unending joy.
