I'ollce Inspector Andrews, seems that the more a man tries to evade cap ture for a crime he hag committed, the more likely becomes his apprehension. And vice versa." "Vice versa J" I said In Borne astonish metit. "What do you mean hy Unit?" Andrews smiled faintly and nodded. "Yes." he said, "vice versa. Take, for example, the case of Vic Hrnd-ley- . Not Vic was a murderer. chronic, mind you. He killed to pay a deht. Vengeance. 'ills victim's name was Koss. Hurt Uosm. When they were young men, Koks had stolen I'.radley's jjlrl. He persuaded her to elope with him on the eve of her marriage to Vic. Made all sorts of promises, spoke Khmilcrously of Ills rival, produced a nole, written In liradley's liand, In which he admitted he was mar-rjiriHelen, his betrothed, only for her money. "Vic never pot over it. He learned Inter from Helen's own lips of Itoss' trickery, learned that itoss had forpeil the note himself. Helen died In Vic's arms. Itoss had killed her. "l'.rndley never forpot and never recovered from the wrong done hy Hops. He swore to kill the other man, and dedicated his life to this purpose. Itut Its accomplishment was more dllllcult than he had anticipated. Koss vanished. I?tit Vic knew that no man In this day and ape can completely disappear. "And so I'.radley hepan his search. A distant uncle had died and willed Mm a modest fortune, so besides being able to devote his entire time to the accomplishment of bis purpose be was also enabled to employ various agencies to assist him. "The search lasted for ten years. And during this time Vic's desire for vengeance did not diminish In tf man, that life atretched out ahead of him. He had satisfied his desire for vengeance, achieved his goal. Why not now dismiss the Incident from his rnlnd, call It a closed book and begin all over again. "The Idea grew upon him. The more he thought about It, the more pronounced became the lonplng to follow this course of action. Yes, that was the thing to do. It was the thing he would do. "Instantly, now that the decision was made, he thought of Koss, of the crime he had committed. There was little danper of capture. He knew that from his experience of the past few duys. Still, be must be more careful. He'd been altogether too Indifferent and careless. It was a wonder he hadn't been picked up Please." the least. In fact, due to constant brooding and lack of other matters to occupy hts mind, the thing became an bsesslon. "Eventually he found Hoss In a New York hotel, living under an assumed name. As soon as he had positively Identified bis enemy, Vic loaded up the automatic he had purchased for the purpose, called at Itoss' room and shot him dead, without preamble and as casually as you plense. "Assured that Ross was dead, he pocketed Ids automatic, strolled out of the hotel and returned to his apartment. He then sat down to wait. Momentarily he expected the arrival of the police. He had not planned to attempt avoiding the consequences of his act. realizing the futility of It. When the police arrived be would confess to the crime and gladly go with them. He had expected to pay for bis with his own life, and felt that his barguln was not unfair. "l'.ntdley Mt In his chair for two hours. I'.ut the police didn't come. This fact mildly surprised but did Hot puzzle him. He knew U would be a matter of a few more minute. "Presently be became conscious of hunger, and left his apartment and walked t. a near by restaurant. He made no attempt to be secretive or overly Indifferent. He regarded no one furtively, Indeed. whs not concerned with how pmv pie regarded him. He Just didn't care. He could see no xlnt In vol.

"Upturning to his apartment, he half exacted to And a squad of uniformed officer awaiting hi arrival, but the place was as be had left It dcMTtel. He sat up for three hours, waiting. Hut nothing hpiened, an l he went to bed. The next morning at rtvnkfrtt he read about the murder and smiled In f.tlnt contempt upon that the authorities had no clew retarding the Identity of the slaer. "Throughout the day. Tradley lounged around his apartment. At night he attended a movie. The next day. for the first time aw. ire of Ms Inactivity, he took a walk In the park. That night he visited his rlub, played bridge with three other members. The next day he attended an art exhibit, dined with friends and returned to hit apartment quite la!e.

It would never do, he told himself, to have the weapon found on his person, lie considered several hiding places, and eventually tucked It far back In a drawer of his desk. "He reviewed his crime and tried to think of other precautions to cover up his guilt. None presented themselves and ho became a little alarmed. Capture now held for him a peculiar horror. He shuddered, thinking of the electric chair. "The next day he visited his club again and that evening he was arrested and charged with the murder of Itoss." Andrews paused. The faint smile was slill on his Hps. "What?" I said. "How did they find out be was the man?'' "I!y vice versa." said Andrews. "Don't yon get It? As long as.

Another, quite Innocently asked hlra where he was on the night of the murder. A third became suspicious at Vic's answer. They talked It over, they questioned him further, and the guilt In Hradley's eyes was too obvious to be Ignored. "A member with whom he hnd never got along very well took It upon himself to call the police. Officers searched his apartment. They found the pun. He was charged with the murder and confessed."

The fact that a lavish amount of pleating, tucking, shirring and meticulous tailoring Is Involved In the styll rig of this season's smartest apparel Is proving an added Incentive to Insist on silk of the better sort that may be relied upon to yield successfully to these varied and sometimes intricate manipulations.

As to this matter of tunics, from all Indications they are about to stampede the fashion picture. If In doubt, choose a tunic frock Is timely advice, for It Is to be Mnles by day and tunics by night according to reports from style centers. Some tunics are straight and narrow while other tunics flare about the knees like a bell or a lampshade. Many evening frocks adopt pleated skirts with tunic tops. Another big fashion feature Is the blouse that Is pleated like the one shown In the picture. This blouse Is of bright green pleated silk chiffon.
