Harry Spively, telephone opera tor; Ernest Heath, Sergeant of the Homicide Bureau. THE STORY THUS FAR Margaret Odell is found stran gled. S keel's finger prints are found iu the apartment, but Vance believes Skeol had been hiding in a closet while the stran gle r did his work. The thine that batfles police is the side door to the alley, which had been bolt ed on the inside the night before and was fdund the same way the next morning. Maunix, Dr. Lind (liiist and Cleaver all lie about their whereabouts the night of the murder., Spotswoode,, who had called on the &irl, had rushed to her door at the. sound of a scream, hut had' been, reassured through the door that everything was all right. Then Skeel Is found stran gled, after promising to reveal the murderer. Vance then demon strates, in support of his theory (hat Skeel had been hiding in a closet, how Skeel could have left through the side door and re lock ed the bolt on the inside. CHAPTER XLVI Heath nodded his head oracul arly. "A crook, no matter how clever he 1b, always overlooks some thing." "Why single out crooks for your criticism, Sergeant?" asked Vanco lazily. "Do you know ot anybody In this imperfect wonu who doesn't always overlook some thing?" He gnve Heath a benig nant smile. "Even the police, uidon't y' know, overlooked the tweezers.' Heath grunted. His cigar had vTork in'Boue out- aIlu ne reugnteu it siow- ly and thoroughly. "What do you think, Mr. Mark ham?" r . "The situation doesn't become much clearer," was Markham's gloomy comment. "My theory isn't exactly o blind in illumination," said. Vance, ''Yet I wouldn't sav that it left things !m pristine darkness. There are certain inferences to be drawn from my vagaries. To-wit: Skeel either knew or recognized the mur derer; and once he had made good his escape from the apartment and BOOTS AND HER BU DDIES WlTH The champion ship Bft'sKETBftl.V COMTET wrm THE "TER" Jc TO .

"Jlls death was. merely another nianifestution ot our incouuu's bent for ridding himself or per sons who annoyed him. Futher more, my theory accounts for the chiseled jewel case, the finger prints, the unmolested closet, ihe tiuding of the gems In the refuse tin the person who took them Teally didn't want them, y' know and Skeel ft silence. It also ex plains the unbolting of the side door." "Yes," sighed Markham. "It seems to clarify everything but the one all-importunt poiut--the identity of the murderer." "Exactly," said Vance. "Let's go to lunch." Heath, morose and contused, de parted for police headquarters; and -Markham, Vance and I rode to Iielmonico's, where we chose tho main dining-room In prefer ence to the grill. "The case now would seem to center in Cleaver and Maunix," said Markham, when we had fin ished our luncheon. "If your theory that the same man killed bo tit Skoel and the Canary Is cor rect, then Liudqulst is out of it, for he certainly was in the Episcopal Hospital Saturday night." 'Quite, agreed Vance. VThe doc tor 1b, unquestionably eliminated. . Yes; Cleaver and Maunix they're tho allurin' twins. Don't see any way to go beyond them." He Irowned and sipped his cofre. "My original quartet is dwindling and I don't like it. It narrows the thing down too much there's .no scope for the mind, as it wore, iu only two choices. 'What if wo should succeed In eliminating Cleaver and Mannix? Where would we be eh, what.' Nowhere simply nowhere. And yet, one of the quartet is guilty; lets cling to that consolin fact. "It can't bo Spotswoode and it can't bo Lindquist. ( Cleaver and Mannlx remain: two from four leaves two. Simple arithmetic, what? The. only trouble Is, this case isn't simple. : Lord, no ;1 say, how would the equation work out if wo used algebra, or spheri cal trigonometry, or ( differential calculus?, Let's caBt ' it in the fourth dimension or the fifth, or the sixth. . , ." He held his tem ples in both hands.' "Oh, promise, Markham promise mo that you'll hire a kind, gentle keeper- for mo." "I- know how you. foel. I've been in the same .mental state for a week.", ,j . .,-! "it's the quartet idea that's driving me mad,',' moaned Vanco. "It wrings mo to have my totrad lopped off In such, brutal fashion.

Three! .. , . On the other hand, there is no such thing as a straight Hue. All lines are curved; they transcribe circles in space. They look straight, but they'ro not. Ap pearances, y know so deceptive! . . . Let's enter the silence, and substitute mentation for sight." He gazed up out of the great windows into Fifth Avenue. Jfor several moments he eat smoking thoughtfully. When he spoke again, it was in an even, deliber ate voice. "Markham, would it be difficult for you to invite Maunix and Cleaver and Spotswoode to spend an evening this evening, let us say Iu your apartment?" Markham set down his cup with a clatter, and regarded Vance nar rowly. 'What n e w haiiequiuado Is this?" "Flo on you! Answer my ques tion." "Weil of course I might arrange- it," replied Markham hesi tantly. "They're all more or less under my jurisdiction at present.." "So that puch an invitation would be rather in lino with the situation eh, what? And they wouldn't ho likely to refuse you, old dear would they?" "No; I hardly think so. . . "And if, when they had assem bled in your quarters, you should propose a few hands of pokor, they'd probably accept, without thinking ihe suggestion strange?" "Probably," said Markham, non plussed at Vance's amazing re quest. "Cleaver and Spotswoode both play, I know; and Mannix doubtless knows tho game. But why poker? Are yon serious, or has your threatened dementia al ready overtaken you?" "Oh, I'm deuced serious." Vance's tone left no doubt 83 to the fact. "Tho game of poker, d' ye see, is tho crux of the mattor. I knew Cleavor was an old hand at tho gamo; and. Spotswoode, of course, played with Judge Red fern last Monday; night. So that gavo mo a basis for my plan. Man nix, we'll assume, also plays." ; Ho leaned , forward, . speaking earnestly. . i , "Nine-tenths qf poker, Mark ham, is psychology; and if quo. unnorstands the game, oue oan learn more of a man's Inner na ture at a poker table in an hour than during a year's casual asso ciation with htm.

"In the present case, I know the kind of man who committed the crime; but I am not sufficiently acquainted with the suspects to point out the guilty one. However, after our game of poker, I- hope lo be uble to tell you who planned : and curried, out the Canary's mur der." Markham gazed at him in blank astonishment. Hu knew that Vance played poker with amazing skill, and that he possessed an uncanny knowledge of the psychological ele-' menu involved in the game; but he was unprepared for the laUei's statement thai he might be able to solve tho Odell murder by menus of it. Yet Vanco had spoken with such undoubted earuestuess that Mark ham was Impressed.. I knew what waa passing in his mind almost, as well as it ho had voiced his thought. He was, recalling tho way in which. Vance had, iu u former murder case, put his finger un erringly on the guilty man by a similar process of. psychological deduction. And ho- was also toll ing himseIC that, however, inconm pro hen til ve and seemingly extrava gant Vance's, requests were, there was always a fundamentally sound reason behind them. "Damn it!" he muttered at last. "The whole gchemO' seems idiotic.. . And yet, U you really want e. game of poker with these men, I've no. special object ion. It'll get you nowhere 1.11' tell youj that before hand. It's, stark nouuensu to sup poso that you can find tho guilty man by such fnutastlo means." "Ah, well," sighed Vance, "a lit tle futile recreation will do Utf. no harm." "But why did you include Spots woode?" ! . Hoally, yf know, I- havon't the slightest notion exeept, of course, that's he's one of my quartet. And we'll need an extra hand." "Well, don't toll me ufterwards that I'm to lock him up for .mur der. I'd have to. draw the -lino. Strange as it may seem to, your layman'9 mind, I w,ouldu't care to prosecute a mun knowing that It was physically impossible for him, to have committed the crime." ; "As to that," drawled Vance,, "the only obstacles Umt stand in the way of physical impossibilities are matorial facts. And material facts -are notoriously deceavin'. Keally, y' know, you lawyors would do bettor if you Ignored them entirely."' Markham did not deign to an- Gas Pains ?
