CHAPTER XIV "Your Long Island Don Juan has certainly not yupplied you with any footprints in the snow' said Vance. "Anyway, his coming forward at this time closes one line of in quiry over which we might have wasted considerable time." "If many more Hues of inquiry are closed," remarked Vance, drily, "you'll be in a distressin' di lemma, don't y' know." "There are enough still open to keep me busy," said Markham, pushing back his. plate and culling for the check. He rose; then pausing, regarded Vance medltat ingly. "Aro you sufficiently inter ested to want to come along?" Eh, what? My word! 4 Spotswoode's statement in regard to the poker game. The judge met him outside the club at ten minutes before midnight, and was with him until three in the morn- He noted the time bocause he promised his guests to . be back at half past eleven, and was twenty minutes late."

I was considerably astonished at Vance's ready acceptance, care less and bantering though it was,' for there was an exhibition of old Chinese prints at the Montioss Galleries that afternoon, which he had. planned to attend. A Riokal and a Moyekl, said to bo very fine examples ot Sung painting, were to be shown; and Vance was par ticularly eager to acquire them for neath the edge of his desk. Swacker, his youthful and ener getic secretary, appeared nt the door which communicated with a narrow Inner chamber between the district attorney's office and the main waiting-room. "Yes, Chief?" The secretary'3 eyes gleamed expectantly behind his enormous horn-rimmed glasses. "Tell Tien to send, mo in a man at once." "Swacker went out through the corridor,- and a minute or two later a suave, rotund man, dress ied Immaculately and wearing a Jprlnceuei, entered, and stood be jfore Markham with an ingratiat ling smile. 1 j "Morning, Tracy." Markham'a i tone was pleasant buts curt. 1 "Here's a list of four witnesses In connection with the Odell case that I 'want brought down here at once the two phone operators, the maid, and the janitor.

Tracy took tho momorandum, and with a prig gish, but by no means inelegant, bow wont out, Duriug the next hour Markham plunged into the general work ithat bad accumulated during tho forenoon, and I was amazed at the man's tremendous vitality and ef ficiency. He disposed of as many imiKHtunt mutters as would have occupied the ordinary business man for an entire day. Swacker bobbed in. and out with electric energy, and various clerx.3 appeared at Uie touch of a buzzer. jtook their orders, and were gone jwith breathless .rapidity. Vance, 1 who had sought diversion in a tome of famous arson trials, look led up mlmirlngly from time 'to jtinio, and Bhook his head in mild j reproach at such spirited activity. it was just half past two when Swacker announced the return of 'Tracy with tho four witnesses: and for two hours Markham ques I tioned and cross-quest ioued them jwith a thoroughness and an la j sight that even I as a lawyer had I rarely seen equaled. His interro gation of the two phone operators jwus quite different from his casual questioning of them earlier in thJ I day; and if there had been a 'single relevant omission in their former testimony, it would certain ly have been caught now by Mark ham's gruelling catechism. But when, at last, thoy were told they could go, 110 new Infor mation had been brought to light. Their stories now stood firmly grounded: 110 one with the excep tion of the girl herself and her es cort, and the disappointed visitor nt -half pnst nine had entered tho front door and passed down the hall to tho Odell apartment from seven o'clock on; and no one hud passed out that. way. The janitor reiterated stubborn ly that he had bolted the side door a little after six and no amount of wheedling or agression could shake his dogged certulnty on that point. Amy Gibson, the maid, could add nothing to her former testimony. Markham's intensivo examination of her produced only repetitions of what she . hud al ready told him. Not one new possibility not one new suggestion was brought loculory proceedings Resulted only In closing up every loophole j in a Beomingly incredible situation, j When, at half past four, Markham sat back In his chair with a weary jsigh, the chance of unearthing a i( promising means of approach to tho astonishing- problem seemed more remote than ever. j I Vance closed his treatise on ar-1 Hon. itml throw uwav his fianFt.

I "If this sort of thing goes on . much longer," returned Markham, j dispiritedly, "I'll be tempted to take your advice," I Just then Swacker looked in. 'through the door to say that In-. spec tor Brenner was on the wire. Markham picked up the telephone, receiver, and as he listened he jotted down some notes on a pail. ' Wbea the call had ended, he turn- ' ed to Vance. I I "You seem disturbed over the condition. of the steel Jewel-case; we found in the bedroom.

Does that highly exciting in formation ameliorate your anx letv?" "Can't say that It does," Vanoo had again become serious and per plexed. "In fact It makes the sit uation still more fantastic. ... I could see a glimmer of light eeiie and unearthly, perhaps, but still a perceptible illumination in all this murkiness If It wasn't for that jewel-case and the steel chisel."
