FIVE
URDERAT
By WINIFRED VAN DUZER I
Bhima Martin, called "Bim,"
young reporter, is anxious to aid
her father's small-town newspaper.
She rejects the marriage proposals
of Walter Vance, assistant chief-of-police.
Walter asks Blra not to
aticnd a party given by wealthy
Enilly Hardy, in honor of the de
crepit Baron von Wiese and his
haughty young wife. Ted Frost,
town play-boy and husband of pa
tient Mary Frost, is enamored of
the Baroness. As the butler serves
wine, the Baroness stares at him.
Their eyes meet and, stunned, be
drops a glass.
CHAPTER III.
The
let-p suence wnicn iciumv-
ed the tinkle of shattering glass
was wiped out when everyone be
gan to talk at once.
Blm saw embarrassed red slide
over the butler's face under Emily
Hardy's glare just before the man
bent down with a swinging, grace
ful ease to gather, the splinters.
And she saw, or thought she saw,
something else as well something
far more intriguing.
It was only for an instant that
the man stooped so his red mop
was below the level of the table
and he arose slowly, keeping his
eyes down as if they still searcn
ed for bits of glass. Then, as nisi
head came up beside the Baroness,
who still stared Into the mirror on
the opposite wall, Dim would have
sworn that he said something
that he spoke a word or two be
neath the rattle of conversation.
It was over in a flash and he
was gone, hut Bim fancied that
the lone, dark eyes of the guest of
honor narrowed ever so slightly
though her head did not move.
Em elected to have coffee on
the ti l race outside the dining room
at" -the southeast cdrnor of the
bouse and the dinner guests stroll
ed out on the flagstones, there to
loll upon the cushions of hugo
wicker chairs.
It was a warm, still night hung
with a Uiin silver moon and rim
med about by the lights across
the river far below Eagle's Nest.
White ghost flowers on a vine
ne by filled the air with fragrance
ai. from somewhere up the moun
tain music came stealing to their
ears faintly and sweetly.
A night for romance, a night for
love. And Bim thought of Walter
with a pang of regret. She was
very fond of Walter; ho was all
that Dad had said and more. Only
well, she always had known
Walter.
Besides, she wanted from life
something more than just mar
riage. She felt within herself the
ability to do wonderful things and
she wanted her chance. If only-
Dad were not so conservative, so
set in his ways about the Banner.
He made her tone down every
thing she wrote to a point where
all the thrill in writing was loan
the big bugbear of his. life was
what he called "yellow journal
ism." But of course nothing ever
hnnnencd In Kingcliffe to be yel
low about. It was discouraging, it
was really.
She fell to Btudying the dinner
guests, wondering what each was
thinking. Peter Hardy had been
obliged to assist the old Baron to

LEAD IN DOUGLAS
Nearly Twice as Many as
X on Next Listed Charge,
1 930 Report Shows.
Arrests during the year of 19S0,
totalling 324, were 62 more than
lu 1929, nccording lo the annual
report completed by Sheriff V. T.
Jackson of Douglas county. Viola
tlons of the prohibition law, num
bering 80, were nearly twice as
many as any other charges on
which arreBtB were made, larceny,
with 47 arrests, being second place.
Fines assessed amounted to $13,
672.50, while Jail sentences impos
ed totalled 4770 days. Peniten
tiary sentences totalled 61 yearB
and 3 months.
There were 207 cnuvictions se
cured during the year, with only
two acquittals of defendants
brought to trial. Both acquittals
were in cases where defendants
were charged with serious offenses,
seriousness of the accusations be
ing sufficient, In the opinion of
the officers, to warrant trial, even
though the pleas were sufficiently
strong to indicate doubt. Forty
bIx cases were dismissed without
trial, following Investigations. Tliir-ty-six
prisoners were turned ovei
to officers in other counties or
states. Three cases, originating
in 1930, are still pending. Tin

his feet and Em and Peter be
tween them had practically car
ried the old fellow to the terrace,
since his feet seemed almost use
less. What a man lor one so vivid,
so alive as the Baroness to marry!
i.ui had contided that the Baron
ess wa3 an American and she had
been upon the point of further
revelations when something had
Interrupted. Perhaps the Baroness
had exchanged wealth fo- title.
Strange, Bim reflected, what wom
en considered worth while.
Laura Allan and Bunny Balrd
were sitting together and Laura
was listening to him for once. Bob
Trent still sulked; Mlllicent flut
'ored at his tide, trying to coax
him into good nature. Mary waB
one of the little group about the
Baron and Ted lounged against a
table of magazines beside which
the Baroness had seated herself.
Ted was being bis most charming
self but the Baronose seemed to
have lost interest in him for she
answered his sallies in monosyl
lables or not at all, sitting there
with her eyes down, fingering the
magazines.
Suddenly she arose, and mur
muring something about having
left her cigarette case iu the li
brary, went swiftly across the ter
race and through the French door
into the dining room.
She did not proceed to the 11
brary, however. P.im, seated direct
Iv in ranae with the door, was so
placed as to command a view of
the entire TVing room and she
watched in some surprise while
the tall, dark woman paused oe
side the serving table. She looked
tense and eager, with her chin
raised proudly and her gorgeous
shoulders forward, standing with
the light striking down on her blue
b ack hair sne Boemeu to name
like, a dark and perhaps sinister
jewel.
Blm saw the dnor to the serving
pantry swing bad; and the butler
step through. His head came up
sharply at sight of the Baroness,
he half wheeled about as If to
retreat. But the woman crossed to
blm and began to speak in a hur
ried, earnest way. Ho shook his
head and she put her hand on bis
nrni, then he glanced down at the
hand and it seemed to Bim that he
willed somewhat that his tall,
lithe figure sagged.
They were standing thus when
the door behind them again swung
open. The Raroness started to
snatch her hanil away but held 11
suspended above the man s arm
fingers outspread as if they were
frozen, as the two jerked about to
confront the intruder a youngish
woman in the black dress and
white cap and apron of a maid.
As long as she lived Bim was
to remember the play of expres
sion upon the face of the woman
-in the doorway. Amazement first,
then horror, then panic. Snatching
a white-cuffed hand against her
mouth, she backed away and the
door flung to with a clatter upon
her scream.

butler follow through the swinging
door; she saw the Baroness glide
into shadows of the library ind
come sauntering out upon the ter
race looking as remote, as unper
turbed as if nothing had happened.
fern was on her feet booming
questions as the butler emerged
from the garden path which skirt
ed the terrnce and continued to
the kitchen.
"Well, William," bellowed Em.
"It is nothing, madam, the man
renlied calmly. "Only one of the
maids has bad a scare. A a bur
glar that is, she fancied mere
vhr one"
Bim marveled at the poise with
which ue lied. He was impassive
save for the light hesitation in his
speech and even this seemed to
make his story more probable.
"Burglars," shrieked Em.
"There was none, madam. Just
the maid's Imagination."
"Where Is she?" Em started for
the door and Bim, too eager to
stand on ceremony, followed.
"If madam will allow me " The
butler steppend in front of Em
and headed the little prodesslon
through the house and up the
stairway to an apartment In the
tar west wing.
"It's the Baroness' maid!" Em
ily exclaimed.
"Yes, madam." Williams was
the first to entor the ornate, green
tinted chamber and to pass
through to a smaller but hardly
less sumptuous room, where the
woman Bim had Been in the door
way of the serving-pantry had col
lapsed upon a couch.
"Well, Jane." demanded Emily
exactly as she had spoken to Wil
liams on the terrace.
The woman raised a stricken
face, from which, however panic
was gone. It was not Emily, but
Williams she looked at as she
tried to stand and, giving that up,
dropped back upon the couch,
twisting hor hands together.
"If I might suggest, Madam "
Williams' voice was sauve. "She
seems in a state. You see" he
appeared to be speaking to Jane
as much as To Mrs. Peter Hardy,
and tho girl fastened wide, agon
ized eyes upon his face "you see
she was here dozing like when she
heard a a noise. There in the
bedroom It was. Being in
drowse, so to speak, she was
frightened and screamed. That's
all of it; leastwise it's what she
told me when I came bustling up.
That's right, isn't it. Miss?"
"Y-ycs " The maid seemed In
a dazo as she whispered the word.
Emily told Williams to bring the
girl tome brandy and went back
to her guests, trailed ny mm.
It waB when Williams passed
liqueurs, winding in and out
among the chalrB on the terrace
that Bim, rather keyed up by the
mystery, saw something else -happen.
The Baroness, sitting with a
magazine which she had taken
from the table upon her lap, began
very deliberately to tear out a
page as the butler approached
