I THE STORY. THUS FAR ,
J Steels finger prima had been
found in the. upartment of thu
'murdered Margaret Odell, tbut
.Vance believes tikeol. had been
hiding in a closet while the strati
Kler did his work. Tho auuse
jquunt murder of Skeel, after he
jhad promised to reveal the mur
tderer, bears this theory out. Spots
woode, who had called on the girl,
'had rushed to her door at the
sound ot a scream; but had been
j reassured through the door that
'nothing was wrong. Vance hua
I Mnrlfhtiin invito (Mmivoi Alnnniv
JJund Spotswoode to his apartment
for a poker gncK', promising to
name the murderer the next day.
And he names Spotswoode!
CHAPTER L
Vance paused and looked up.

ing, a straight-flush, ho also kuew,
before he raised my bet, that he
had me beaten. At once I realized
that he was not the man I was
after."
"By what reasoning?"
"A poker player, Markham who
would bet on a sure thing Is one
who lacks tho egotistical self-con'
fidence of the highly subtle and su

I "It would have been impossible '

'And, remember, he played poker!

' "I admit everything yon say,"
he rejoined. "Hut as I have stm- i
ed before, whei. material fuctB and
psychological, facts conflict, the
material facts are wrong. In this
case, they may not actually bu
wrong, but they're deceptive."
"Very well, inagnus Apollo!"
The situation was too much for
Markhnn's exacerbated - nerves.
"Show me how Spotswoode could
have strangled' the girl and ransacked-the

I had got the impression that
Maikham. despite his emphatic de
