I SYNOPSIS
Edward Fowler, a wealthy gam-
Bridge Club in Miami. His body,
with knife in tht back," is found
in j the poker room. Fowler had
played bridge that evening , with
Millie La France, a seductive
bland; Ben Eckhardt and Dave
Button, but quit the game when
Millie accused him of throwing it.
He paid the owner, Toby Monroe,
fof his and Millie's losses and os
tensibly left only to be found dead
in an adjoining room early the next
morning. A mysterious prowler dis
covered the body, following which
hi police received an anonymous
phona call informing them of the
crime. Two weeks previous, Fowler
had searched the hotel suite of the
Ourlyn Bessingers. Bessinger bad
claimed to be a wealthy grain mer
chant but Fowler believed this only
a blind as letters found in a trunk
relating to his grain business. were
evidently written by Bessinger to
himself. The Bessingers were at
the club the night Fowler .died.
Brtice Farraday, the millionaire,
enlists the' services of private de
tective. Miles Standisb Rice, to
help clear up the murder because
his ion, Tolliver, is involved. The
boy's torn check to Fowler for the
sum; of ten thousand dollars was
fouqd in the latter's room. Farra
day. Sr tells LeRoy and Stan that
bis party, consisting of his daugh
ter Eve, Tolliver and Mrs. Staun
ton s friend) had left the club
about 1 A.M. (two hours after
Fowler left) and gone,to the Alli
gator Inn with a Commander Erie
Dawson, whom he had just met,
and the Bessingers. Glen NeaL the
society reporter, was also in the
party. Later, Millie arrived at the
Alligator Inn with Eckhardt and
Button. Next morning, Stan and
LeRoy search the club for clues.
The door leading from the bridge
room to the poker room where
Fowler was killed is locked and the
key missing. Toby finally admits
that he locked it because Caprilli,
the gangster, had engaged the pok
er 'roam and wanted privacy. But
none of the gang showed up.
"I CHAPTER X
The poker room - as semi-ob-ecured!
from the hot noon sun by
partially closed Venetian blinds at
. each of the three windows. A soli
tary fiy walked along the broad
blade ef the ceiling fan. It buzzed
lazily but of the opened door as
.Stan Rice and the Captain entered.
A single low-backed,', leather
seated folding chair stood at the
table, its back toward the only en

showed clearly it had not been
moved; since its last occupant was
carried out in a basket. :
fBlcbd ran down his coat and
dripped on the floor," LeRoy ex
plained. "There isn't any on the
seat ol the chair but plenty on the
back." ' - . '
' Stan said nothing. The Captain's
dispassionate air depressed . him.
Stan Rice could be casual about
most things, but not about death.
His business had brought him in
contact with more than a fair share.
The war had left him memories of
whicbl- he - never spoke. He had
learned to successfully conceal all
outward emotion with a lightness of
bis own. But the lightness was false.
Inwardly, be fought a dullish sense
of futility; a queer certainty that
anything Stan Rice might do was
anti-climatic Hia best efforts could
bringr nothing but death for death,
doubtful requital for the living.

Venetian blind, khielding the window
faced by the vacant chair, rose
smoothly as be pulled the double

"T5ie window has ft full length
screen on the outside."
So has everv . window in the
- bouse," said LeRoy. ' ,
Stan unhooked the screen from
the bottom and pushed. It swung
out easily, held at the top by two

where the screen fittei eouglv
the outside edge of the sill. Two
dead house flies, and a large mos
quito, had trapped themselves and
struggled to death in the small crack
between screen and sill. Stan
brushed them off the sill and looked
out. A vine covered trellis of white
wood rose from the ground to the
left side of the window. LeRoy
came up and leaned out beside him.
"This window's an ideal balcony
for a Romeo with a gun." Stan in
dicated the trellis.
"I get the idea although I've never
seen the play. It might be interest
ing if Fowler hadn't been stabbed
from the back by somebody inside
the house. For your information
nobody climbed that trellis. We gave
it the works this morning. We
didn't forget that the screen might
have been hooked by the kindly soul
who tipped us off to this job."
They withdrew from the window.
Stan rehooked the screen. "It never
occurred to me, Vince, that anybody
might have come in through that
window.- You fellows are so con
founded thorough that at times you
run off up side roads. I wanted to
'see if anybody could have come in
through that window. Or reached it
easily had they 'wanted to take a
pot shot at Edward Fowler."
Stan pulled op the blinds on the
other two windows. Unlike the one
he had just left, which faced toward
Satsuma Road, they opened on the
back of the house. He unhooked the
screens on both and looked out. The
Captain lit a cigar and watched.
You get funny ideas yourself," he
said, after a couple of satisfying
puffs. "You think Fowler was afraid
of trouble and was ! keeping a
weather eye on that window. Why
wasn't he watching the door in back
of him? The killer came through
therel" j
Stan rehooked the screen in the
third window, and turned around,
There Were two doors on the other
side of the. room. One,? partially
opened, revealed the bathroom. Stan
crossed the room, pushed the door
wide, and went in. The rack was
replete with fresh hand towels. Stan
came out, and said plaintively:

cemented to the tile floor."
You're dodging my question.
Stan.
"Not at all. I'm considering it.
Assuming Fowler was killed while
sitting in this room-
Assuming bosh I" the Captain
broke in with irritation. "Quit div
ing off into a sea of salt herrings.
You can t cart a two hundred pound
corpse into a house like this and
lug it up a flight of stairs without
leaving traces. There are none. Now
tell me he was stabbed in West Palm
Beach, brought here by plane, and
dropped through the roof J"
All right all right." Stan
grinned maliciously. It made him
feel better to get his friend roiled
out of official composure. "At least
Ira convinced that we have a com
mon starting point. ! Fowler was
lolled in here. Why he came in here
we con t know, yet."
"Caprilli?" LeRoy bit down hard
on his cigar.
Stan shook his head. -"I doubt it.
Caprilli's method is to take them
out in cars, sew them up in sacks.
and dump them off in vacant lots.
But, if you don't .object,Td like to
talk to Caprilli this afternoon.
think I know where to locate him.
Maybe I can get more out of him
than you can."
"Hop to It!" LeRoy ground out
.bis cigar in an ashtray, viciously
wishing the piece of metal was
Caprilli's right eye. "If I eet with
in arm's length of that murdering
dog l U twist bis dirty neck J"
- Stan opened . the closet - door,
Seven folding chairs, similar to the
one at the poker table, were stacked
neatly in a pile on the floor. He un
folded one, sfid it along the polished
floor toward the Captain, and fixed
another for himself. When he
closed the closet door on the re
mainder, he had, Proteus-like, again
become serious, -almost morose.
- :Sit down, Vince, I'll be back In
minuU." ' - !
He walked . out into the hal
turned right, passed the locked door
to the bridge room on his left, and
paused listening at the top of the
stairs just beyond. A murmur f
voices came from downstairs, fol
lowed by the sound of A the type
writer. The distraught Toby Mun
roe, whom they had left bowed over
the table in the bridge room, had
recovered enough to go down and
resume his work, i
Stan retraced hia steps, but
paused in front of the window at the
end of the hall. It was right out
side of the poker room door, and was
screened like the rest. Captain Le
Roy, inside the room, watched Stan
open the screen and close it again.'
t was but a few steps from where
LeRoy was seated. Stan left the
window, stepped inside, and took the
chair he had fixed for himself.
"I think Edward Fowler knew he
was in danger," he began without
preliminary. "But he didn t think
that danger existed inside this club
rgo, watched the window in
stead of the door. Does that snake
sense?"
The Captain nodded approval.
Go on." !
"Some things here just don't
make sense. Who put the chairs
away?"
"Those in the closet?"
"Certainly. Munroe was expect
ing a poker game in this room last
night unless he's lying. I don't
think he's lying. Juan had prepared
a cold buffet. It's in the icebox now
untouched. No gambling club
makes patrons set up their own
chairs. There was one here for
Fowler. The rest were in the closet."
LeRoy removed his cap and
mopped his brow. "What about ".
"The guy who phoned?" Stan
mimicked. "I already have a head
ache thinking about that talkative
fool. Why should he be roaming
around in the middle of the night
putting chairs away? Why, Vince,
why I You re sure they weren't
around the table when you got here?
ftawcett couldn't have folded them
up and put them in there when he
checked them for prints?"
You're pitching wild. Stan. I can
show you the pictures at head
quarters if you think I'm slipping."
btan was regarding the round
mahogany chip-rack in the center
of the poker table. It contained sev
eral stacks of varicolored chips.
There were four slots in the top
which held unopened packs of cards,
partially protruding. He pulled it
toward him and let the chips trickle
idly through his slim fingers. Then,
impatiently he pushed it away.
"I am shooting wild, Vince. : My
only txcuse is that now and again a
wild snot will hit a bird. Every
thing around here is full of ques
tion marks: Why didnt Caprilli's
crowd show up? Moneta Canrilli
would tommygun his little sister fo
fifty bucks. Why did Fowler come
in here at all? And the chairs,
Vince? I've got to get something to
eat I" . - ,!
The Captain had to doc-trot on
the way downstairs to keep up with
Stan's strides. Juan Andres was
dusting in the hall. Stan paused
lone enough to ask: "Wer th.
chairs set up for the poker party
tast mgni juani" - -
The Cuban showed his surprise.
Yes, sir. All of them. Mr. Mun
roe gave me instructions."
At what time?" Tha Crt.in
demanded. ",:--' '.. -
'Between seven i and eio-ht.
J ust before I started to fix the food."
via you put them away in the
closet before you left for the night?"
"No, air.' They stay around the
table most of the time. I only put
them in the closet just after I've
polished them, or while I'm cleaning
the room." i
f- "Thafa all." LeRoy said, curtly.
ine captain bad : pressed the
starter of his car when Stan laid a
hand on his arm. "Hold it, Vine. I
want to go back to that poker room
for a minute. There's something
screwy there. Come along."
"What's the matter now?" Le
Roy grumbled. "We've been up
there forty-five minutes. I'm aick
of the place.? . V . f , . I
, "I saw something up there that
wasn't quite right.... But I cant

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 1.-(JP)-Santa
Clara, champion of the
Sugar" bowl the last two years,
opened its 1938 bid for national
football recognition today with a
stunning 22 to 0 victory over
Stanford university.
Some 50,000 fans watched in
amazement as the alert, charging
Santa Clara eleven completely
routed what pre-season dope her
alded as one of, the strongest to
be assembled on the Stanford
campus In many a year.
. Sentimental backing on the
part of Stanford supporters
caused the game to be rated as
a fairly even encounter. That, of
course, was before the opening
kick off. - -
. Drones Dominate Show
From the time Santa Clara
kicked oft until its third string
substitutes were knocking at the
Stanford goal line in the final
minutes of play. Coach Lawrence
"Buck" Shaw's crew dominated
the show in convincing fashion.
It made the third successive
annual win for Santa Clara over
its neighboring rival but the re
sult this; time, an,d the clever
manner in which it was accom
plished far exceeded the efforts
of the 1936-37 Bronco elevens.
Mid-Season Form
'Santa Clara demonstrated mid
season polish in its offense, a
stout line which smeared most
of tl Stanford attack, and block
ing so hard and expertly applied
that the: home town stalwarts
were rolling over the field like
ten pins. I
About all that can be said, for
the Stanford entry is that its
players were game but badly out
classed. They tackled high, fum
bled frequently and showed a
woeful lack of running power and
punch In j the clinches.
The statistical chart tells the
story more simply. Santa Clara
piled up 123 2 yards from scrim
mage against a slim 90 yards for
Stanford.: The winners had 11
firzt dowr to 7 for the losers.

COMMENTS
CURTIS,
This morning at 9 o'clock one
of the outstanding matches of the
Salem Golf club's annual cham
pionship tournament is scheduled
to start. Bob Taylor, defending
champion, and assert Victor, city
champion,' are to clash in a semi
final match, and there is always
a real golf match when these fel
lows get together.
Most golfers are also football
fans, an1 so there was not much
activity in the tournament Sat
urday. Don Hendrie and Bob
Utter are the other seml-f ins
ists In the championship flight
but the exact time of their
match was not determined up
to Saturday night. Semi-finals :
in other flights were for ' the
most part set for today, and
the finals next weekend.
With- good weather continuing,
the golf season is lingering on for
most golfers, and there are indi
cations that more than the usual
number are resolved to continue
playing right through the winter,
barring snow. The course con
tinues to be in the best condition
ever. .
