YORK, Not.' l--Stock market leaders put on an early rallying foray today but most lest driving force eventually and closed behind minus signs. Business optimism was still predominant in Wall Street and offerings were coparatlvely light throughout. The urge for profits, though, apparently was tco much for some traders -and - these, de cided to begin lightening commit ments in view o ftwo holidays on which the exchange will be closed next week.t '' . Steels Are Bellwethers Steels were the best in the forenoon when gains ran to around 2 points. These bell- wbethers began to slip after Bethlehem had venerated new high ground for the past year. Motors acted tired throughout and some cop pels, specially An aconda, were under pressure. Few specialties managed to hold most of their, advances and hand ful of rails retained modest im provement. ; ; v - . :i i . The . Associated Press average of 60 Issues was d5wn .1 of a point at 52.3. Transfers totaled 1,280,630 shares against 1,093,- 270 the day before. : Poland Allocates ,.

By (XIFF STERRETT CHAPTER XXXVI A flashlight shone white and cold, caressing the pearl handle of --a wicked gun he had seen before -touching the hem of a green silk raincoat The muzzle was close to . the graying hair of the man on top " reflected rays of the flashlight burnished the knife in his hand. You better jeef a mainsail, Commander Fishface," said Millie LaFranc sweetly, "or little Millie will blow off your navy blue bottom with her pretty popgun." Her Toice shrilled just before Stan passed out, "I mean get off of him, Dawson, and drop that knife or 111 blow youf brains out!" " Afterwards, the night was never more than a bad dream to Stan. The rending screech of sirens the bat tering pop of motor-cycles the splintering ox wood as boarded win dows fell before an ax struck on ears gone 'deaf with pain. A blue ethereal .haxt supported him as the ambulance sped to Jackson Memor ial. In bed he opened dull eyes to the stab of m hypeidermic, but the lids dragged heavily, so he closed them again and floated peacefully away, ' ' . e "There's a man to see you," Miss Leslie announced, her capped bead tnrust m tne aoer. . i Stan beckoned her in. "Is he li a I uniform? ' v "Yes,"tShe patted a pillow Into place. "He's, been here twice this merning and three times yester day." : . - . "He's come to arrest me for mur der. Tell him to go away that mother and son are doing nicely anything, but hurry so you can come back and gvrt me my bath." "Why, you've already had jour bath" Miss 'Leslie stopped, blush ing pinkly. "There's something so soothing about your hands running up and down my spine." He gave a bliss ful sigh.' "You taught me to be a bathiophile." "I'm sending In the policeman," she stated primly. "And the orderly can bathe you tomorrow. Maybe he can teach you to behave yourself." "Your hands are softbut nurs ing baa calloused your heart." Stan told her as she left, -". . The Captain was speechless for a short while after he came in the room, then be- pulled his chair close to the bed. His face lost its firm lines in one of his unpredictable smiles. - ' . "You're rich man, Mr. Rice a hundred and thirty-five grand in cluding Farraday'a reward. The dia monds were in the mud under the ' floor I" ...... - ;. , "Thirty-five grand, Yince. That's my cut, Thirty-five go to Millie - and the. balance to you and the de partment where it belongs. If you ' find Fowler had a family 111 leave it to you to look after them,; Please, Vince," as LeRoy started to protest, "I couldnt have cracked this with out the help of the Squad and you - know it, And I wouldn't be alive to collect without that hell-cat and her nickel-plated gun. Let's don't bring the money up again.

I couldn't see you taking one of his eross examinations right now. Why did you take -such a chance, StaaT "I bad to but 111 come to that Put it down, Vince, so I wont have to cover this again. Most of it you know but ask your questions now I'm talking my last talk about the murder of Fowler and Eckhardt" . LeRoy placed his notebook on the table by the bed. "Ill start with the boloney.' " . " V'V . "Where I should have started and didn't First, 111 tell you all I have on Dawson. Up to night be fore last his record was without a spot The record of Commander Eric Dawson,: U.S.N,. Retired, Is still spotless except thai , Eric Dawson died in China five years 0. The iBMi ;ftj ia ifi-JL Xiaa, ii Hi brother Ernest Dawson. He's the black sheep of a fine family forger x-circus performer- murderer and Jewel thief without peer." You had nothing to go on, Stan. Quite a bit I didn't know he was Impersonating his brother until Mil lie dug up an old clipping that Ernest Dawson' had died in the in terior of China, while exploring with his brother, Retired Commander Eric The story hinted that Ernest had been in trouble. She tipped me that by phone on; our return from the trip night before last From what I already knew, I guessed that Ernest had assumed the identity ef Eric and had kept it for the past five years. "What did you know t" "The perfectly obvious thing, Vince, that Dawson was the only one who could be responsible for the two murders. Eckhardt knew who killed F o w 1 e r and who knocked me, off the Four Leaf Clover. He intended to chisel in and rented an apartment for a month so he could be near his man. The apartment was over Dawson's but he didn't get much chance to use it It's simple as that Dawson had overheard him at Millie's. Act two was murder at the track." . "But Dawson saved your life1 . "An error hes regretted ever since. He thought I was dead when he fished me out A grandstand play, Vince. The love of it has al ways been a stumbling block for crooks. Ben Eckhardt made one when he phoned Dawson's apart mentand tried to put the fear of God into Dawson by the omnipotent presence who 'heard all and knew all. Another thing made me suspi cious of Dawson that" same after noon. Neal was talking about the year of his graduation 1900. With thirty years of service up to 1930 and six yearns of retirement he'd have to be near sixty today. If he's much over forty I'll pluck out his gray hairs. Even Mrs. Bessinger re marked about his youthf ulness. "The boloney," LeRoy reminded. Stan settled himself more com fortably in bed. He was beginning to feel like a chronic invalid. "Bo logna phosphorus is sulphide of barium, made by grinding the Bo logna stone. Youll find it in the dic tionaryit is used in-the prepare uon of luminous paint" "I don't want to find it I want to hear about it" "You're about to. The Miles Standish Rice version. Fowler came to Miami on the trail ef the dia monds. They were stolen by Daw son. Juan Andres was his accom plice in this country" " Tie's on the twenty-first floor,1 LeRoy said grimly. ' "Juan had contacted Caprflli, and Caprilli had chosen tha Bessingers to close, the deal. Dawson had no intention of revealing his identity to Caprilli so he chose the eleven of diamonds as a eontact card, to be shown to Juan. " Somehow I dont know how Fowler found it out and got one for himself. The Bessingers must have been suspicious of nim and tipped him off to Juan anyhow here's what I believe happened "The Bessingers brought him to the club Saturday, night The trap was already set the Caprilli gang warned to stay away the one chair placed in the poker room. Juan wrote the warning note, signed DB telling Fowler to wait In the dark room. . As Fowler was reading the note, or as Juan was brushing his coat he gave turn a generous dab of Dawson's specialty tha lu minous paint It had vanished under Fowlers blood when you found him. Juan went downstairs, earlier, and drove his own small ear out andl back to make it sound like Fowler had gone." And Ben?" Dawson must have gotten close to him in the crowd and given .him an application. When the lights went out he threw the knife from some distance awr. probably un- rifle force by someone who knows the trick." , If Juan was in with him," Le Roy said, shaking hia head, "there .. are still a lot of things I don't get Who knocked Juan on the head- when you were fired at on the roof t" Dawson, of course. He told Juan that was the only way for him to ' be put in the clear and the spick fell for it It was really Juan's dumbness that lost them the game. Juan thought he was being double crossed when Dawson took the dia monds from the Sunset for safe keeping. Juan started ' watching ' every move he made and saw him hide them in the apartment Ben had rented, after Ben was killed. Night before last Juan took them from the apartment to the old . mill, and hooked onto our boat in tending to get Dawson out of the picture entirely. The nigger janitor followed him and phoned Millie " And you cooked up the brilliant plan that would have put you out of the picture if Millie; hadn't fol lowed you and saved your neck." . "I had nothing on him, Vince except suspicion, and a certainty of my own that be was guilty. .Yon can't burn a man with that I might have waited and investigated his record, and turned him over to the . Feds -for drawing his brother's re tired pay, but unless we jailed him on nothing he'd have knocked off . Juan " A small loss," LeRoy grumbled. I wanted those diamonds," Stan assured him with a smile. "And I ; did have fun accepting his 'story about the smuggling and the non existence retreat on the keys. Fail ing to kill me with the aid of Fow-, les car he tried so hard to sell - me the idea that he'd been fishing" the day before that he stubbed his toe. I accepted his offer to take me there. He probably knew some shack on the keys. We'd have ended there if Farraday hadn't been shotl" Stan gnawed at the knuckle of his left hand. "There was always a fair chance that I was on the wrong track. I didn't dare pass it up. He actually had me going, Vince, when we started out on the Swampfire and on the way home you nearly sold me a bill of roods on Button." Nearly 1" The Captain rose "rm always so near and you're so far. Maybe you know in. which Docket he kept that Hisnano-Suizs, ef Fowler's." "There are twelve garages ia back of the apartment house. I think it wag in one of those belonging to an unrented apartment He undoubt edly kept it to search but didnt find the stuff hidden In the rumble seat" Stan hesitated, and scratched his head. "Do yon think that but could be bought, VinceJ I might take a tour this summer. I've never owned a ear as fast as that" "Anything can be bought? said LeRoy. at the : door. "Including blonde drivers for men with broken arms.' By the way,", he added, sheepishly, "the doctor said a mild stimulant wouldn't hurt, you so I've ordered half a case of Scotch to last you out the week." He left with a wink to Millie, who was waiting outside. . .- v "Close the door," Stan said mys teriously, when she came in the room. "Now look In the bottom of the closet Under my bathrobe yon will find large box a very large box. It contains two whole roast chickens with trimmings smug gled in by that woman whose name is Doris. In a bucket of ice in the box are four bottles of Chateau dYquem smuggled in by hex hus band." , "Let's celebrate," Millie suggest ed, hopefully. - "First I have a task to perform," Stan told her. "Afterwards I will join yon gladly. The nurse said too much food -would make me ill. They have fed me nothing and I'm get ting ill. I Intend to demolish an entire chicken and throw the bones down in my bed. Will yon Join me. ' Millie La France 7" yr . I 'r w m asBBSgaasr-.
