Jim pursed his lips ' “He’s had a mighty bad nervous breakdown Betty and in my opinion ha won’t be himself again for months But what can you expect? Great heavens Ipok what he’s gone through No natural man could stand that strain for long You’ll have to be very good to him Betty? A little later on a long eea voyage will be the thing Betty nodded “What's happened since last night?" she asked eagerly “Have you seen Inspector Craw- ford?" Jim chuckled “Seen Inspector Crawford? I've been staring into 'that red face of his until nearly six o’clock this morning We went over the whole of the casd from start to finish By gad Betty Crawford’s a cunning old devil He's had his eye for days on Philip Rhodes— in fact since the murder of W B Phile— t f‘ mon" t “Then why didn’t he arrest him?” asked Betty “Because he hadn’t a shred of evidence— Rhodes had covered his traces aofnestly Crawford saw that his only chance was to give the man rope He even pretended to take Rhodes Into his confidence aO that the blighter wouldn't tumble to the 1 was fact that he- was suspected kept In the dark about this in case I let out anything that might give Rhodes a hint" “And Dr Xavier?" Jim nodded “Crawford had an Idea for some time that Xavier and Lingard were both in It By the way Lingard seems to have got Away ail right— and Cecils too But they're lucky If they dodge old Crawford ’ - -- for long" “It was a miracle" observed Bet- ty “how Red Mask managed to con ceal his Identity even from his own people" “Xavier knew said Jim “but he was the only one They worked closely together The they used was his invention The Instrument’s been smashed so wt’ll never know the secret of it unleu he choose to tell He's a genius gone wrong If he'd only been able to go straight he could have made a fortune There’s no doubt he fixed up the poisoning of W B Philemon" “What a queer coincidence!" exclaimed Betty— “I mean his being " called in to help at the - ’ - e - ’ - “Coincidence? - No coincidence about thsk Crawford sfrsnged - it hoping to make Xavier show his hand Crawford’s policy you know is always to give a criminal lull rope to hang himself with When Phile- men’s body was stolen that night to PIQIUKT CZVILED ZG&t aa I rUvUiiUh SlVItt fAi’SVlCII WnwGAU Ki£sS5iSia'5 featurea King la el prevent traces of the poison Number Thirty-sevebeing found It backed up old Crawford’s suspicions’’ Betty was slient for a little A frown had gathered on her face and Jim saw that she was hesitating to ask the question that was in the front of her mind “What is it darling?" he aaid quietly “1 was thinking abbot Hugo Xavier and Guardie" she murmured “When did Dr Xavier recognizs him sA She did not complete the sentence “A long timrago I should say” replied Jim “That gave them the idea of Rhodes taking a job on Sir John's staff He was always s daring devil —always doing the unexpected thing The chances of blackmail were among wealthy bank clients and Xavier and he decided to keep Sir John himself in reserve for a final coup But they misjudged their man As soon as Sir John spotted what their game was he decided to fight Not that he suspected Rhodes until later He was fighting in the dark at first" "I hid no idea of this Jim" Betty looked up with wide eyes “Guardie has been fighting Red Mask all the time? Then that—that's why he took the- - Marbury papers away" “Hs took them from the bank to keep Red Mask from getting them —he suspected what was in the wind his 'Idea failed Jor Unfortunately Philip Rhodes stols them from Sir John's private salt the following night That in faot was Rhodes' first big mistake It was then Sir John began to suspect hifti Rhodes’ second mistake was to risk shooting Bernard Gaskell from the garden that evening at the Bury to ahut the fellow's mouth From that moment Sir John was in the background watching Rhodes lika a hawk" “If only he'd gone to the police and told them everything!" taid Betty but Jim shook his head “As things turned out It wouldn't have done any good Crawford was well in the picture by that time and he'd got the idea that Red Mask was arranging a final coup before his clearing out" Jim shrugged shoulders “Besides you know Sir to had admit his John' would have The name waa 'once Jack Kildare fact that he Was as innocent of the wouldn't I Bentleys murder have made the least difference The police would have been compelled to arrest him— as they did last night He’s officially under arreat now you know but that’ e mfere matter of form’ The home office is In consultation with the judicial committee-” "But you told me lest night that D Xavier had practically confessed to the Bentleys crime" broke In Betty anxiously “TrueXavier knows the police have got him stone cold on at least twof of the Red Mask murderaAnd he knows he’a booked all right for pleasant holiday for the rest of his life at Broadmoor Criminal asylum But his confession doesn't release Sir John at once— worse luck The legal forms will have to be gone through and probably the evidence reconsidered By the way have you seen the late editions of this morn-ing’- f newspaper?H—Hii eyes brightened “They've got hold of some of the facts They're boosting Sir John like mid! Of couse it’s a romantic yarn for them— the sort of thing that usually happens In a crook play not In grim life” Jim smiled reminiscently “By Jovs I could give the reporters one or two snappy bits I didn't tell you of they’ve missed Berntrd GaikeU'i midnight 'dash to ' Little did he know Southampton? that the blighter he waa trying to catch had flipped off the liner by the pilot’s cutter In the Solent!— He was on of Xavier’s crooked pals and the police were waiting for him" Jim told her as much as he gleaned from Crawford about the Southampton incident end then related his own experisnee in the bank atrong room with the rising tide flowing in When he had finished she looked up moist-eyeShe put out her hand to hint “Jim— 1 want tathank you and It's terribly terribly difficult!” He took the slender fingers held them for a moment then stooping pressed them to his lips When he raised his head her dark eyes had a soft glow that set his pulses racing “Last night I waa trying to tell ypu something Betty— he began 'She looked straight Into his eyes “I guessed what it was Jim" Behind them a minute or two later Fletcher opened the library door At once a deep flush spread over his face Retreating hastily he opened the door again fumbling noisily with the handle ana coughing loudly “Sir John Is awake Mlsa Betty" he announced his eyes fixed on tn invisible speck of dust on the carpet at his feet “He’s asking for you DON’T To U2IDEIK700D 'DELICIOUS (atfz - VyY SU These Prices Effective ’ -- &i Wf SOAPwEC DO OUR PAST pA“Corr WHITE Tuna Fish Soup Shrd Wheat Is acknowledged 10c Bottle 10c FRUIT DEPARTMENT “maestro" of the air so is good old Blue Rihbcfa recognized as TOMATOES the malt Year after year it r has in ths front in sales and popularity because people found it decidedly ietter than any othar When you want the utmost in malt quality buy ths “maestro" of the malt— Blue Ribbon maestro— leader-- of been-isu- WHEREVER YOU Barge laldUJJ Fesh Blah 3 lbs 10c BEANS EGGPLANT KY 3 lbs 10c - ms 3 lbs 10c I Carrots ’’km 5 V": LEMONS ORANGES doz 15c 29c 3 dt3 bunches 5c doz 12c CORN ELJ1T sec(Mess GRAPES YOU FIND CO pkg STAB r2for25c Potcfin 15c 2 APPLES Astrechin PEACHES CMAIOUPESW AMERICA’S BIGGEST SELLER c MEAT DEPARTMENT emiOoIllbo JW (CHOICE—FAT) (W reaerv the right to limit quantity) FREE DELIVERY ON GROCERY PURCHASES OF $150 OR MORE The Coolest Place in Town to Shop MILK COFFEE Banner Brand Cans Special Chase k Sanborn Dated for Your Tall Belle Flower Special lb KIPPERED SHACKS 29c 4 for 20c Cut in Creamery Quarters Special lb Special 20c FISH BALLS 15c Pel-a-C- Miracle d Special Ambassador 29c Brand A OCa 6 Bolls Boiled IIAM Corned Beef 17c FRUIT DEPT New Potatoes Firm Pipe 4lbs9c From Troutdale Solid Large Heads Ore TOMATOES ' TH? tNtl 1 Can ORANGES ?
