During the last half of the day, Chicago wheat prices achieved net gains of H cent a bushel much of the time, whereas earlier the market was down an equal frac tion. Traders here noted that Australia's estimated yield had been reduced to 130,000,000 bushels. Indicating an exportable surplus of but 78,000,000 bush els. Last year the Australian har vest was 188,00,000 bushels.

The Eleven of Diamonds By BAYNARD A.IkENDRICK I CHAPTER XVII "You agree with me that anyone might have used that machine of Toby's," LeRoy went on. "Well, then Tolliver Farraday might have used it, You say that any of the players at the Sunset might have killed Fowler. Tolliver Farraday was there, too. Shall I go on?" Stan snuffed his cigarette and re arranged his pillows. "Go on, by all means, Vince but whatever you say will be used against you. This is a good time to tell trie while my head hurts. L . "Use what you want," LeRoy con tinued. "I don't believe Eve Farra , day got any ten ' thousand dollar check out of a gambler for love and kisses- " TWhy Vincent LeRoy!" Stan cov ered his face with one hand and peered at the officer through his fingers. "What a prurient mind you've developed from your coarse work. You can't mean that.... f You known darn well what I mean. Fowler had her on the spot, Stan and the brother found it out. Haw did he happen to be at the Sun set on Saturday night? Convenient wasn't it?" f'You beard Bruce Farraday ex plain that yesterday." - fit was a good storyeven if I didn't believe it But Bruce Farra daly hasn't explained why his son and daughter followed you but to the Four. Leaf . Clover last night. That was convenient too. Who had a better chance to hit you than the boy you left behind in Keefes of fice? Who would want you out of the way more than he? It would play havoc his father .calling in a private detective and him mixed tin with a murder. . It may not be airtight, Stan but it stands up bet ter than anything else for the time being and I'm going to follow it through." rSo that' your case?" Stan's : voice dragged wearily. - "It reads pretty good: Gambler trims youth for ten grand and courts sweet sis ter. To save family from dark dis erace. brother arranges to kill dark despoiler. Writes note cancelling poker game so he can use poker room for death chamber. Lures rambler into poker room method unknown. Leaves papa, and sister ia middle of bridge game and stabs waiting despouer in back return ing to bridge room to resume game bloodless from deed and wearing smile. Method of avoiding bloody clothes again ; unknown. Youth dashes out of town for trip on fol lowing day. Returns to find out papa has employed detective and sleuth is on our Leal uiover method of finding out salient facts unknown. Brilliant minion of law attempts to question sweet sister and youth in rage hurls iron bar sending sleuth to watery destruc tion " Stan's voice grew weaker, lie began to softly whistle "Hearts and Flowers. I LeRoy stood up. "1 admitted it has boles. I didn't intend to upset jrou. Ill be going." - ; "Holes ? Stan asked, holding out a hand to the Captain. "It has all fthe properties of a gill-net but r ... . . , . m nrfii 1 gill-nets caicn lot ox usn. m m you do a couple of thing3 for me tonight, i Vince?" You know it." "Take man with you and go to the Sunset after dark. light the liehts in the bridge room but keep the poker room and the hall outside of it dark. Then seat the man in the same position Fowler was in : when ha was killed. You go out on I the screened porch and see if you ; can see the man sitting in the dark poker room. YouTl .have to look through the window at the end of the hall by the poker room door. That's one thing. The other you can ' do ribt now: wire the police in all large cities in South Africa a de- acription of Edward Fowler re s guesting immediate identification." . "South AfricaP - . "He gave a cold clasp to Eve Farraday. It was a springbok the regimental badge of the South Afri-! can soldiers during the war. I talked too loud when I asked about it. I think that's why I got knocked off the boat." i "And the man in the poker room?" "If you can see him, I know how Fowler was killed. If you can't see him well, I think you can see him!" At eight forty-five that night LeRoy phoned to say that the man in the poker room was not visible from any position on the screened porch. Stan turned over and went to sleep to dream of dead house flies, a mosquito and a good idea gone sour. f At eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning Stan brazenly parked the Buick close to a fire-plug and saun tered into Police Headquarters at 80 West Flagler Street. A dark young man, pleasant featured, was standing inside the door. He closed a strong hand over Stan's arm and smiled, pointing at the dressing on Stan's head. I "Auto wreck or collision with door in dark. Stan?" j "Ooh !" Stan groaned. "The ever present brilliant press representa tive, Mr. Marty ' Williamson. I'd forgotten all about newspapers." He drew ; Marty to one side and spoke confidentially. "I'll tell you all I know, Marty but you mustn't publish anything. Two weeks ago I dove into the Biltmore swimming pool and they had removed all the water for cleaning. I've been uncon scious ever since." i Marty clucked sympathetically. "I won't say a word, i You haven't heard anything about a gambler being murdered m the Sunset.. You ought to see yesterday's papers. Great story, s Well, I have . to run along. I just dug up some dope about a man being knocked off the Four Leaf Clover Sunday night.' Marty lit a cigarette, watching btan. "Is there such a card as an eleven of diamonds?' he inquired innocently. "Who told you that?" "I have a trained ' pelican that sleeps in LeRoy s room. The esti mable Captain talks in his sleep ' "I'm sorry, Marty," Stan said, gravely. You re too smart; for the good of the- department. I don't know where you got it but IH have to ask you to hold it. I know LeRoy didn't talk. Will you keep that card quiet and my Sunday night bath ? I might If I got first breaks on the real dope. Bat the eleven of diamonds has leaked, Stan. I can't stop it. It will be in all the after noon papers. You might as well tell me what it means. Was Fowler ad dicted to the game of Five Hun dred?" h.-' ! h "Five Hundred?" Stan repeated slowly, "l thought that card came from a bezique pack" "That's a horse on you." 'Marty ground out his half finished smoke on the floor. "We've played ball to gether for i long time. Ill keep mum about the Four Leaf Clover until you get ready to spill it. : Fur ther IH give you some Informa tion 1 got about an hour aeo. The eleven of diamonds came out of a No. 600 Pack of Playing Cards manufactured by the S. U. Playin Card Company. It contains four elevens, four twelves, and two thir teen spots. They were ordered from Dacy's in New York and were shipped to Edward Fowler just over a week ago to General Delivery, Fort Lauderdale. It cost me fifteen sixty in phone calls to find that out. Want to pay it?" : Stan produced a ten and a five from his side pants pocket. "I'll stand fifteen of it and you get first chance at the story. How did you trace it?" "A six handed Five Hundred pack is as easy to buy as a yellow alli gator with wings. Ill be seeing you." Stan watched him leave the build ing, and swore softly He could trust Marty Williamson to the limit. If Marty said that the find of the eleven of diamonds had leaked, Stan knew it was true. The leak had put a crimp in his plans, nevertheless. While he could not accurately place what part the card had played in Fowler s murder, he was confident the connection was strong. The finger prints of the- dead man were indisputable evidence that the card had been in Fowler's possession." Apparently Fowler s last effort had baeen to rid himself of it. His at tempt had been successful but had failed to save his life. Stan's head began to ache again as he went upstairs to LeRoy's of fice. The information uncovered by Marty Williamson seemed to com plicate things all the more. Fowler had ordered the unusual pack of cards himself, and had them sent to an address outside of Miami. Why ? There was only one answer to that. He was trying to keep the fact of his order from someone in Miami. From whom ? Stan decided if he could answer the last question it would save him a lot of trouble. He did not know until later that the answer would have saved another's life. There were two other people in LeRoy's office, Commander Dawson, and a vision in lilac crepe, whom the Captain introduced to Stan Mrs. Lydia Staunton. Stan shook hands cordially with the Farradays friend, and classed her as expensive and probably worth it. She was seated close to Dawson in front of LeRoy's desk. The Commander was looking at the Captain. Stan grinned in wardly, lie had been in similar positions himself where it tried one's patience to play the gentleman and keep wandering eyes away from the proximity of silken-clad legs and sandaled feet. Stan placed a hand on Dawson's shoulder, clasped it gently, and said: "Thanks for Sunday night." Dawson smiled and said: I couldn't very well leave you in, could I?" "I think it was wonderful of him. Don't you, Mr. Rice? He's a grand swimmer. I heard all about it from Tolly and Eve " ,Stan turned blue eyes, devoid of expression, toward Mrs. Staunton. "I'm sorry they mentioned it Not that I want to disparage anything Commander Dawson did but the less. publicity I get in this matter, the more I can help " He was about to add "Mr. Farraday" but caught himself in time. "I'm sure Captain LeRoy and I will both ap preciate your co-operation if youll not mention this to anyone else." ; LeRoy nodded glumly. He was always, particularly glum when he had received important informa tion. He motioned Stan to a chair. "I agree with what Mr. Rice says. We have managed to keep the at tack on him out of the papers. I feel sure you both understand" "Quite," agreed Dawson. "I sup pose Keefe dislikes publicity, too." "I suppose he does." The Captain glanced sharply at Dawson, sensing a hidden dig at the police depart ment. "Atlhough Keefe's likes and dislikes make' very little difference to me." He turned to Stan. "Here's " something of interest: Commander Dawson and Mrs. Staunton played at the same table Saturday night with Mr. Farraday and his son. After Fowler left the card room they distinctly remember his going, due to his argument with Millie La France the Commander saw a man on his hands and knees on the side porch " "From where you were sitting?" Stan asked quickly. Dawson nodded. "I was facing the window. Mr. Farraday was deal ing and I remarked idly to Mrs. Staunton: 'Someone must have lost something. " ( To Be Continued ) ; . .
