ENTER MRS. DUFRESNE

"No. sir. Wa beard yoor orders
about thaL"
Harper nodded. He so pooled that
lis reporter bad become anxious
and nervous about bis "scoop." and
had con out to try to Sod another
telephone. As ba turned to Us work.
there cam tba sound of burned
aleps entering tba ball, doors
slimmed, and a woman's voice cried
out. hysterically. "Pierre! Pierre!
she walled, "where Is be! Ob. where
Is her
Tba detectlva understood In a
flash why Doyle bad left the houia.
Laboring under tba delusion thai Du
fresua had been killed, tba reporter
bid taken It upon himself to carry
the newt to tba man's wile.
He nearly collided with tba on
rutntog Ogure. 8ha was wrapped id a
tur coal and out ot lis huge collar
her lovely nead rose, unless, and
wlih tnowdakes glistening snd melt
Ins ou her soft hstr Her ayes were
wide with terror and despair, tba
beautiful mouib twisted pitiably.
Hiocklng tba doorway, be laid his
hand on ber arm.
"Steady, lira. Dufresne," ba said,
trying to lead her hack Into the hall,
"there has been a terrible mlsiake.
Your husband Is safe and sound. The
man who was killed bere Is a Strang
er. Me wore a dligulse that made
blrn look like Mr. Dufresne. Do you
uudersland meT"
"Yes. yes." she breathed, "there
has been a mistake. Pierre la safe,
llul let ma see let ma see!"
"Are you sura you want to look
tnio thst room. Mrs. UufresneT"
"I must see," she declared. In a
low voice. "1 must aee for myself I"
- Harper moved aside from the door.
Mrs. Dufresne stepped Into the room
weird tableau of dealt).
"I'll show you bow It It." llarpei
said. Tba detective stripped away
the beard and moustache.
When Mrs. Dufresne saw tbe na
Iwral features of the man. the made
strange, wordiest sounds. Without
warning, her knees buckled, she
reached forth vaguely to support
herielf, then collspsed. As the fell
htr face struck tbt thsrp corner ot
the center table, opening a long
gatb across ber cbsek.
Harper leaped to ber tide with t
cry of dismay ss be saw the blood
pouring trom the wound. Calling
for Dr. Miller, be gathered the un
conscious Ogure Inio his arms and
strode from that Ill-fated room.
Dr. Miller gave a little grunt as
he ttrtlgbtened up beside tbe bed
where Mrs. Dufresne lay stretched
out
"How It she, Doer Harper lo
quired, anxiously.
"Well, I've stopped most ot the
bleeding, but tbeie old hands ol
Bine are too clumsy to aliend to
that cut properly."
"Will It leave a aearr"
"Tbst's what we muil avoid. Some
of these new chaps do wonderful
work slong that line. It'd be best to
bare one In. I think."
"We'd better gel hold ot ber own
doctor first and let him handle this
1 bate to think ot her being scarred
or disfigured."
IR. MILLER bent down and asked
his question. He scribbled the
doctor's name snd Initials on bis
prescription pad and banded tbe leal
to the detective. "Get bla 'phone
number and tell him to come ss soon
as possible. The sooner, the hetier."
When Harper left Mrs. Datresne's
room to go downslstrs again, be
found Howard Doyle waiting at tbe
foot of the stairs. "How Is she, Ser
gesntT" he Inquired at once, visibly
perturbed.
Harper replied angrily. "It Mrs
Dufresne't tsce Is marred for life
you ought to pick out a b!gh bridge
and throw yourself over."
"Why didn't you say something
then, before you left! Tbla Is Du
fresne's bouta snd tbt desd man
certainly looked like Dufresne. You
held us all back, locked tbs door, snd
went away without saying any
thing."
Harper's face flsmed wllb anger
"Listen to this. Doyle. I wtrned you
not to release .bt story until 1 gsre
tht word. Hold on, now I've no
time to argue. I'll talk lo yon later."
Tbe detective looked up Dr. 0. C.
o
during the evening Included vo
cal numbers by mm Mary 'Eliza
Angell who was accompanied by her
sister. Miss Ullie Belle Angel, violin
solos by Miss Maellzabeth Cooper, ac
companied by Mils Jennie Peterson
and s reading Shaw's "He tied to His
Wife." by Miss Florence Day. Re
freahmenu were served under the dl-
Ulrtcb'a telephone number and
called It Harper explained iht
situation briefly and described tbe
nature of tbe wouod. It the doctor
bad any curiosity about tbe cause
ot tbs wound he gave no sign of It.
Ha promised to be over In leas than
half an hour.
With that detail out of the way.
Sergeant Harper turned bit atten
tion lo tbt major matter lo hand. He
called together Officer Clymer. De
tectlva Lsflerty. and the two plain
clothesmen trom Headquartera. "So
tar wa bare found no due to tbe
Identity of the man who baa been
killed bere," be began.
"For tome unknown reason be
chose to Impersonate tbe master of
this bouse. It this ssme man wrote
tba threatening letter and abot at
Mr. Dufresne. the cbancet are that
we are dealing with a lunatic. There
will be traces and I want you to look
for tbem. We haven't found tbla
man's hat and overcoat, for Instance.
Look for tlgnt of forcible entry, too.
but don't go outside. 1 want tbe snow
left undisturbed.
Tbs men scattered to their tasks.
Harper and Car'ln were alone wllb
the dead men. and tbe Investigation
Into their strange death was on lo
earnest.
Well. Professor: It's time we got
dowo to brass lacks. What do the
stars In their course tell you about
thlsr While ba asked this ques
tion. Harper was carefully looking
over the man In tba armchair.
Tbe ballistics expert smiled at tba
pleasantry. "Dr. Miller bat emptied
the pockets," he explained. "Over
there you can see all that was
found." On a corner of tba buffet
waa a folded, unused man't handker
chief of good quality. On II waa
aeventy-nine centa In change.
"What bat taken place here. Ser
geant, Is plainly written." Ha point
ed to tba body In the armchair.
That man Is seatsd there. He has
boen drinking. He Is smoking a ciga
rette. Tbe policeman enters. Two
guna are lifted simultaneously and
Bred. Both men are dead they have
tilled each other. That Is the ttory.
The reason why all thlt happened?
That Is your job. Sergeant, and you
are welcome to II!"
Harper nodded. "Tba reconstruc
tion of tbe tcene la quite obvious.
But suppose, Carlln. I told you that
I don't believe everything I bear
and not always what 1 tee?"
"AH. then, that matea a differ
' ence. We1 can talk more about
tbla simple story " Carlln s flair for
tbe dramatic waa bclog "fed" by tbe
detective with admirable results.
"Tbere are certain parte of thli story
1 find bard to awallow. Tbe most ex
cellent marksmanship displayed, for
Instance It ts almost too perfect.
"One shot right through tbe
bralb. It Is trus that tne man In the
chair needs two shots but one goes
straight to the heart, the other not
two Inches away. A man doea not
fire after be baa been abot through
the brain, nor after a bullet has gone
through bla heart."
"Yet each man died where be waa
found." Harper mused. "There are
the -talns on the rug lo prove IL"
"Consider this." Carlln went on
excitedly, now at full tilt with bla
subject, "consldii tbe absolute non
chalance of these men. This ooe did
not rlsu trom bis cbslr. an instinc
tive morement where danger threat-
ena. He did not even drop bis ciga
rette. It burned on and on between
his Angers until It was consumed,
sesrlng tbs fit ah."
He screwed a Jeweler's glass into
bis eye and examined a mis srtapen
bullet under direct light- "This Is a
SS caliber, and 1 have no doubt that
the rifling will prove It to hate Is
sued from Officer llamlll's gun. And
when the other two bullets are
probed out 1 have no doubt they will
prove to have come from thts other
gun.
"Both deaths were Instantsneous.
yot we cannot readily admit so In
credible a thing as an absolutely
simultaneous eichange of shots, for
the msn In the cna! here tired twice.
"But what disturbs me most Is
this," he went on. pointing to the
circular bullet mark In the Strang
er's forehead. "The bullet went In
through the left frontal, passed
completely through the skull snd
made lis exit around in tbe base ot
the brain. If we did not bsve the
bullet, and you asked me what bad
caused that wound. I would answer
witbout a moment's besltstlou a
.45 steeljackeu But It seems thst 1
would be wrong, for there Is that
mark on tbe walLscotlng where our
.38 bullet lodged Itself.
"I have a alrange reluctance to
asserting that these men killed each
oiber In the manner Indicated, yet
there are the facts staring us In the
face."

Hire Good Painter
Who - Uses Good
Paint, Is Advice
The wise property owner has
learned It saves him money to cm
ploy a good painter and one who
uses quality paint products, de
clared H. L. Pickett at a dinner meet
ing given by National Lead company
last night at the Sacajawea hotel
to about 30 master painters and paint
dealers of this city and vicinity. The
chairman of the meeting was Andy
Whyte, sales representative for the
host company, and the program
presented by Messrs. H. L. Pickett and
W. D. Herman of the National Lead
company, manufacturers of Dutch
Boy paint products.
"But during the depression," Pick
ett continued, "many property owners
tried to save money by buying 'cheap'
paints and hiring inexperienced
painters to apply them. The result
was early paint failures that cost the
property owners many times what
they saved on the first cost of their
painting Jobs. Painters and paint
dealers must use advertising and
proper selling methods to convince
these property owners that It pays to
hire a good painter and use quality
paint products,"
A three-reel moving picture. "Thir
teen Trumps.' together with news
paper and direct -by-mall advertising
features were shown to help painters
get their share of returning prosper
ity. Modern business methods were
also discussed. Several painting dem
onstrations were given by Mr. Her
man to show the adaptability of
Dutch Boy paint products in produc
ing Interior decorative effects and
protective coatings on exterior sur
faces. The meeting closed with a
general discussion of business and
craftsmanship problems.
Among the painter and dealer
guests were Hugh Leonard of Van
Pet ten Lumber Co., local distributors
of the National Lead company's prod
ucts, and other representatives of
the paint trade from La Grande, Ba
ker, Enterprise and Union.
