yesterday.
France Influence Nil
News from abroad lacked par
ticularly inspiring qualities for
either buyers or sellers. While the
French franc tumbled to another
. new low since 1926, there was
said to have been comparatively
little selling because of the re-
' lapse. .
Copper securities were in the re
treating column as consumption
of the metal appeared to be lag
ging considerably behind produc-
tion. :
Bonds, led by railroad liens,
took a turn for the better.

SYNOPSIS -The
immense estate of million
ire Gerard Montietb at South
Cove adjoins the lesser estate, of
Major Forrest, whose son-in-law,
Harley Stevenson, a writer of
crime mystery novels, tells this
story. Mary, niece of Montieth,
does not want to marry David For
rest. Montieth tells her he will dis
inherit her if she does not marry
David. At an afternoon party on the
Forrea$ grounds word comes that
Montieth baa been murdered.
While County Prosecutor Foa
crofr, a guest at the Forrest party,
goes to investigate, Harley breaks
the news to Mary.
CHAPTER III '
Mary stopped in her tracks, the
last bit of coior leaving ner xace.
"No! Oh, no, no, he couldn't have
been. Davison must be hysterical."
Then she did something peculiar.
She. stood still and looked all about
the -grounds, back at the stile, over
to the sunken Italian garden hedged
thickly with shrubs, across to the
old stone gate cottage ail aoout.
Tell me all about it, Mr. Steven
son' ahe said, as we moved on.
I told her all that I knew.
"Do you know of anyone who
would want your uncle out of the
way?
She looked at me quickly when I
asked this.
"No, of course no one in his right
mind could have any reason to kill
Unci Gerry,
We didn't say any mora. I took
- in tha front door. A car was
turning into the driveway.
"Doctor Sutton. I think. Davison
tolonhoned him first. I wouldn't
- come out to the library - porch,
Mary."
Mrs. Johnson, the housekeeper,
.ii in th balL' Shexhad seen us
coming.
"Come Mary up to your room,
tar a while." she urged.
Mary hesitated and looked at me
"You cam be of no help it will be
too much for you. I will see you in
little while." I told her. She went
upstairs with Mrs. Johnson. -4-
rtavlaAn fame into the halL
-"Rrin- the doctor out to the
porch, I said, and went into the
library that opened to this porch.
The figure on the glider was covered
tsrith a steamer rug, as Davison bad
telephoned us he bad done. Major
- Forrest and Foxcroft were on the
north. The Major was standing on
: , tn. looking down at them.
"There would be no footprints, be
cause of the gravel walk,' I said.
Tt,.-- mie-ht be. Harley. if a man
iirt ner tha grass instead of
a.1nne tha Dath.
That was true, but the closest ex
in.tlnn failed to show trace.
FoxcToft was standing a few
from the rlider. taking in
servants about; someone must have
seen or heard something."
"That'i right, Harley. Say, will
you help me 7 I know that your
crime mystery yarns are all theory.
but you did put in a lot of time as
a private detective, practical work."
Nothing would please me better.
"You will have to be on the level,
Harley. I know you are friendly
here, and you know my feelings to
ward Mary, but nothing must pre
vent us from revealing every truth
we uncover."
"I understand. I probably know
few things,- -already, that will
make your eyes pop."
"As soon as this? You couldn't.
Come now, Harley, no theories."
"Things I learned before this
crime, this afternoon. I was talking
with Gerard Montieth about half
past two this afternoon."
"Well who's under suspicion?"
"What do the servants know?"
Foxcroft asked.
That Mr. Montieth died suddenly,
sir."
"You didn't tell them they think
it is a natural death?"
"Yes, sir. I felt it out of placa
for me to tell them any more."
"You ve a good head. Let them
think so for the present, and sea
that none of them leave. If any try
to leave, stop them or let someone
in authority know. Some of the
State Police will be here shortly.
Oh yes, did you see anyone or bear
anything
"No sir. Mr. Montieth was sleep
ing. I went up to my room for
brief rest and my pipe. In my quar
ters, I smoke a pipe."
"Someone could have entered?"
"I am afraid so, sir, but no one
ever has ehtered unannounced dur
ing the twelve years I have been
here."
"Blood!" Dr. Sutton exclaimed. "Fresh blood, just drying."
"All the servants here. Mary, even
myself, since I saw him a few hours
ago."
"Mary? Don't be getting nonsen
sically dramatic!"
"If you want me to work with you
and your county sleuths, Wally," I
said, "at least listen to whatever l

the price of September delivery
of corn scored a maximum over
night gain of 5 cents a bushel

mora and more pronounced.
With attention of traders foc

price records for the season.
At the close, September corn
was at the topmost price level
reached, and the corn market as
a whole was varying from 1 cent
decline to 5 cents advance, Sept.
$1.10-10, Dec. 61-, May
634-, wheat unchanged to
1 lower, Sept. $1.02, Dec
$1.03-, May .$1.05-.
oats unchanged to up, Dee

TOOTS AND CASPER
Dinner at Eight
By JI3DIY MURPHY
"Mr. Montieth was aliva when 1
left, DaTisoitT" I asked.
"Oh yes sir; he didn't take to the
hammock for a half hoar after
that."
My father-in-law came in to us, in
the library.
You boys hare sharper eyes," he
said. "Why not see if there are any
signs that someone came throagb
the library ?"
"Wa will. Major," Foxcroft re
plied.
We beean lookine about. The ma
jor sat in the comfortable swirel
ehair at Montieth'a desk and
watched as as we looked aboat. He
stared around here and there and
suddenly cried nt.
He pointed to a spot on the walLa
tiny red streak running down from
a silver cross, or "rood" as it was
called.
Doctor Satton, nearest, pat his
finger on the atrealc
"Blood!" he exclaimed. -Fresh
blood, just drying." -
I took nay handkerchief and, with
it, lifted the silver ornament from
its little hook, bat as I did so I
dropped it. : .
We all stared down at it in amaze
ment. " . v
The fall had released some spring
and an ugly, narrow four-inch blade
protruded from the bottom of the
cross. ' .
This blade was blood-stained! -
