Chapter SI A JOB FOR POOLE "I'LL admit I can't stand the chap, ' personally," aald McLoughlln. Ha aat upon the edge of a chair, itraignt-DacKea and angular. In a neat suit as grey as his hair. When people told him that he did not look like a cartoonist, he said that it was his ambition to look like a car toon of a retired general. "He was in a bad mood all yes terday," said Armltage. "But 1 hoped he'd be all right when he was talking 'shop' with yon. He's gen erally at bis best, with yon." "He Is all right on 'shop,' " agreed McLoughlln. "In fact, for a brll llant youngster who knows Just how brilliant he Is, he la most becon lngly modest A great deal more modest than I was at his age." Mo Lougblln's slow smile seemed to crack his leathery face Into two. "But the moment he gets on to any subject but his work, he's Insuffer able. Wants kicking." "You can't kick a cripple." "That's what he bets on," came from Poole; upon whose person the terriers had disposed themselves to sleep. "Apart from the fact that he's a cripple," said' Armltage heavily, Poole thought "one can't snub him as a guest, especially when his mother Is present" "He bets on that, too," murmured Poole. "Vory llkelyl Anyway, his beastly nature will be a constant factor whatever we decide about him, and I think myself It's best to Ignore It." "Ignoring It makes him very Ir ritable," said Poole, smiling rami nlscently. He gently pulled a ter rier's ear. "Very irritable Indeed It makes him." "Ton don't think ha should go to Paris, Mao?" "They won't teach him anything in the way of technique he doesn't know. What he needs he can get here or anywhere." "And that la 1" "Solid, hard concentration. So far, his work has been dashed OS uuder some stimulus or other; some xcltement. He's got to turn out as good stuff when he's sober on a Monday as he can at the Da Capo on a champagne Saturday night" "Any good uli haunting places like the Da Capo?" "Only to his purse. From what I hear he's making a bit By the way, Is It a fact that you put In that levator to get him up to the top of this house T" i "I had it extended." : McLoughlln left in silence. ! As the front door distantly lammed, Armltage asked I "What's Lodely beon saying to ajet himself so warmly dUllkod?" i Poole pulled the terrier's other ar. Easy enough to say: "He makes endless fun of you, his host and patron" but difficult to explain why one should so blazlngly resent it when the host and patron didn't apparently, resent It at alt He re narked, instead ; "Lodely talks of giving a party." i- "Do we have to charter tho Kits for him, d'you know?" "No. The Idea Is a small informal gathering; but it's to include all the rabble he has collected at the Da Capo during the last weeks and lot of really sound people." "Where will he give It?" "In his studio. He actually took the lift up there yesterday." "He didn't care for it no doubt?" , "He thought it would mnke a good billiard-room with a little re arrangement" . Armltage laughed. ! "Clever of him. I wish to hsaven he'd lot me have my bedroom backl" I "Make him." ! "No, I can't do that . ', He said it thoughtfully, his man ner robbing the words of tbelr In ffectualneas. He prowled np and down the room, smoking, eyes halt closed. "What about Mrs. Lodely?" he asked abruptly, wheeling on his secretary. "Oughtn't you?" "Mra Lodely," replied Poole, set tling deeper under his load of slum bering dog, "has gone to see a law yer on family business." "A lawyer," echoed Armltage. "Has Mrs. Lodely ever talked to you about her money affairs?" "She has declared most forth rightly, generally towards the sweet course, that twenty years ago she would have thought noth ing of lunching at wherever we happen to he lunching." "She has been living on her pin money, I understand. I suppose she hasn't said anything to you about the circumstances of her hus band's death?" "You suppose wrongly. She has told me all about It three mortal times." Sfff 1 1 mm "They won't teach him anything In the wsy of technique he doesn't know." Oh, I know he shot himself ro a summer-house and all that What I'm lntorcsted In Is why?" "Ho crashed, apparently." "Yes. But why?" Poole shook himself free of the terriers and sat up. He know what was coming. "I'd llko you to do a hit of sleuth work on that, If you can. I know that Lodely senior was a partner In a Kings Mallard firm. It was Quentln, Lodely and Caue. Quen tin and Lodoly crashed but Cane prospered, eventually, at any rate. I can give you the year, or near onough." He pausod, frownod and gave It' "Aftor my father's doath she let this Kings Mallard firm have chargo of the bulk of his capital. I've a notion they playod the fool with It and that though they rofunded every penny, It broke them. Dart er's Is the only private bank loft In thosh parts. Thoy'll give you as sistance, within roason." "ItlEht you are, Quvl" "Take your time and go very quietly. I've been Sir Jnmos Cane's guest" "I'll leave noxt to no wake," promised Poole, "Thore's no rea son, I suppose, why I shouldn't stnrt right awny?" "None. Here comes Lodely." "This Is the kind of silence that always ensues when one comes Just too late to hoar people tnlklng about one," Mark said sweetly.

(AP) Three hundred eighty Chinese soldiers were reported today found frozen to death after being besieged for two weeks by Japanese troops on a southeastern Manchuria mountain top. The report of the tragedy, carried in Chinese newspapers, turned at tention in the Sino-Japaneee contro versy back to the original theater of war. Activities were renewed in that area, along the Manchurlan coast south of Mi:kden, a month ago. The report said Japanese scouts found the dead Chinese soldiers still clasping their rlflea at their posts on the top of Mount Takusban, near the coast between Takusban city and Slu yen, 126 miles south of Mukden. The Chinese were hard pressed oy Japanese and made a final stand on the mountain, repulsing several at tacks by the Japanese, the reports said. When the cold weather set In a few weeks ago, there was a lull In the fighting. The Japanese ceased their attacks and waited. In the freezing temperatures fit the top art the mountain, the bleaguered Chinese found a new enemy the cold as deadly as the Japanese sharpshooters. When the bodies were found, the reports said, they were clad in light weight summer uniforms. S'MATTER POP V By C. M. PAYNE . i ' i s i v I ( CluCK' ME. -AWD-AM-TiCfPATt T4bi.
