The girl slammed the door. Marx telephoned below for a detective to follow her. Then he turned- to the doctor. "Now what do- yon think . of that?" demanded the Inspector. "Just this,- replied the doctor easily "Mrs. Edison came here for. a purpose. I rather think It was something she wanted to bide from yon. I suggest her photo graph. But one can't be too sure.

She woudat wouldn't worry about the news papers. She wouldn't worry about the consequences to her.- "Now I'm going to get hold f young nr. Edison and ask him a thing or two," Mane promised himself. "Why! was he following them? What was in his mind? He may have been downstairs all the time during the murder, and then again ha might not have." Marx sighed. "Cosh.

"AH right, send them up," said Marx. And then to the doctor: "I gotta kid 'em along or they'll be on our necks. A dosen respectful but alert newspaper men soon filled ; the room and formed a semi-drele about Marx. "Gentlemen," began Marx heavily, "the inquiry is progress ing satisfactorily. We have ' cer tain clues. Important pieces of evi dence, which we can't make pub lic at this time. That's all I can tell you, boys. The frst chance I get you'll have the story." But the reporters made no move to go. "Inspector," said -one of them, "Is it true that Mrs. Edison is involved in this ease?" ' "Where did you get that?", de manded Marx. The reported smil ed knowingly. "There's nobody Involved In this case yet." Marx Insisted. "If yon boys vr.nt a rtory I'll tell the means, of promoting health. A tew days ago I talked with a Senator. He la a very serious minded man, and devotes his every energy to the good of the country. I asked him if he ever read anything except books and papers relating to government.

Now you will ask 'me how In the world the reading a man does can have any effect on his physical welfare. I shall undertake to show you why 1 think it does have.

Good afternoon, gentle men." - . ' The reporters hurried out. They had a story. With Incidental con jecture, local color, and direct quotation from the Inspector, they had the makings of a very exdting- story. ' ' "And what's more, I mean It,' Marx assured the doctor when the reporters had left. "There's going to be an arrest In this case in side of forty-eight hours." "I hope yon arrest the right person, ventured the doctor. "If I don't, you tell me," said Marx. "But Jut this minute I got a hunch." t ' "What is It? -"Walt and aee."

But hardly had the reporters, gone, when Mr. Bur dette C. Winne'y, one of the city's saavest lawyers, was announced. He was small, with a dapper little mustache the color of straw, and a dapper little stick the color of straw. He had a disarming man ner aU his own. "Inspector," he chirped the moment - he arrived, "my client, Mrs. ? Edison, telephoned, me to see you. She ' seemed most dis tressed."' "Is that so? mocked Marx.
