THE STORY THUS FAR
Skeel's finger prints had beeu
found iu the apartment of the mur
dered Margaret Odell, but Vance
believes Skeel had been hiding in
a closet while the Btrangler did
his work. Manuix, Dr. Liudquist
and Cleaver all lie about their
whereabouts the night of the mur
der. Spotswoode, who had called
tt.A aid t.u.l cuultori In hop tlnnr
at the sound of a scream but had I
been reassured through the door
that nothing was wrong. Later
Skeel is found strangled, after
promising to reveal the mur
derer. Vanco hns Markham Invite
Cleaver, Spotswoode and Mannlx
to his apartment for a game of
poker, promising to name the mur
derer the next day. After the
game's end Vance Is unusually
sober.
CHAPTER XLIX
(Tuesday, September 1; 1 p. m.)
Vance slept late the following
morning and spent the hour or so
before lunch checking a catalogue
of ceramics which were to be auc
tioned next day at the Anderson
Galleries. At one o'clock we en
tered the Stuyvestant Club and
joined Markham in tlie grill.
"The lupch is on you.old thing,"
said Vance. "But I'll make It easy.
All I want is a rasher of English
bacon, a cup of coffee, and a crois
sant." Markham gave him a mocking
smile. . i
I don't wonder you're economiz
ing after your bad luck of la3t
night."
Vance s eyebrows went up.
"1 rather fancied my luck waj
most extr'ordlnary."
You held four of a kind twice,
and lost both hands."
But, y" see," blandly confessed
Vance, "I happened to know both
times exactly what cards niiy op
ponents held."
Markham stared at him in
amazetftcnt.
"Quite so," Vanco assured him.
I had arranged beforiS the game,
I', ye site, to ha.ve those particular
haads dealt."' He smiled rbealitnlyi -

"You mean this fellow Alln

Markham was indignant.
"Only for the two hands you

to remember, was the dealer both

right, was careful to cut the cards

that no stricture can possibly at

manipulations were Cleavor and
Spotswoode. Although Allen did
deal me four of a kind on each r.c
casion, I lost heavily both times,"
Markham regarded Vance for a
momejit In puzzled silence, and
then laughed good naturedly.
"You appear to have been in a
philanthropic mood Inst night. You
practically gave Mannlx a thou
sand dollars by permitting him to
double the stakes on each draw.

should say."

Markham, you are nt this moment

Vance had spoken with the easy
assurance that precludes argu

see ho was moved.
