MEDFORD MAIL TRTBUNE, UEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, MAT 1, 1933. W$ TlncWfeile Cockatoo bj Mignon G. Ebahart . BYNOPS1B: Bus Tally, Jim Bun dean and the detective David Lorn hand together to trap the vereon ' toho murdered the Hussion in the corridor ot their hotel the vereon who ehot five timee at Sundean. and the man who tried to abduct Bue. They believe the three inci dents are part ot an attemvt to ae euro the token with ichtch Sue enuet prove her title to a share in her father's fortune. But what worries Sundean most is a tear that perhaps Bus is not vlatltta quits SQuare. Chapter 22 SOUNDS IN THE DARK THE wind burled about the hotel and banged the loose shutter, and 1 said rather heavily: "Then, again, there's the Identity of the murdered man. His knowing the secret way Into the hotel " "It you mean that the Lovschlems had something to do with my with that affair, you are quite wrong, said Sue warmly, with an air of defence. "They have been very kind to me. They were kind to my mother, I I feel sure It was not the Lot-schelms." "Very well," I said. "But I saw Madame Lovschiem, remember, at the moment when she Drat saw the murdered man. And she said to Lovschiem: 'So, you've killed him." "That really means nothing, how ever," Sue returned. "She might 'Ml mm V: .. .... that the priest had touch ol " "Stomach-ache," said Sue rapid ly. "And rang tor Marcel and Mar cel brought him hot water and brandy and stayed with him an hour." 1 "Exactly," aald the detective. "And further," said Sue, "I let your story of why you had gone to the lobby and stumbled upon the murdered man pass last night be cause 1 honestly didn't know what to do, and 1 could see they be lieved you at the moment. It's true I shrank from telling about that at tempted abduction. "The police would never believe the thing as It stands. But I can see now that I made a mistake, and I'm going to tell then the truth about It at once. 1 can give you a complete alibi, Mr. Sundean, and I intend to do so." "Tou know, said Lorn In a bored way, "there's no need for this dis cussion. 1 was about to remind yon that those alibis are of practically no Importance. In view ot the re cent discovery, I mean. The poi son." He was right, of course. After a moment Sue rose. "It's late," she said wearily. "And we seem to be getting no where. It was a dreadful night, and it's been a crazy day, and If the wind doesn't stop blowing for a while tonight I shall go quite out ot my head." She paused and smiled a little wryly and said: "When shall we three meet again?" "WHEN the hurly-hurly's done," I said absently. "Tomorrow," said Lorn prosaical ly. "I don't wish to be over-encouraging, Mr. Sundean, but I real ly think you've given me something to go on. You are sure you've for gotten nothing?" "There was on the landing a broken hit of something that looks like wax or rubber, and a brown leaf," I said thoughtfully. "I've got them nere." We all looked at the shriveled leaf and the bit ot bard wax in the palm of' my hand, but they were only a leaf and a scrap of reddish brown. Lorn Anally shrugged and dis missed them. "Nothing, probably," he said. "I'll keep them in mind, however." , As the glow fell to ashes, I slept.. LARGEST STILL IN E HEMPSTEAD. L. I., May 1, (AP) -Through the portals of the old Bel mont mansion, which once opened only to admit society's bluest blue bloods, eight federal agents passed early today. They came out with eight prisoners and the announcement that they had captured the largest alcohol still ever found In the New York area. They found the 27-room house, once owned by the late Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, social dlstators at the turn of the century, had been con verted Into a huge distillery. Its dis tinctive feature was a polished still, built to turn out 5000 gallons of mo lasses alcohol dally, running Into 19 barrel vats set on parquet floors among 10-foot plate mirrors. Their elgbt prisoners, the agents announced, were mere employes of a leading alcohol dealer who was not named. SCAN APPLEGATE APPRECIATE, May 1. (flpl.) One more lookout will be added to the Apple gate 'i list this year when the building Is completed on Anderson Butte. N. O. White of Med ford and Ranger X. O. Port of the Star ranger station on Big Applegate were In that vicinity last week surveying for the location of the lookout which Is to be completed by July 1. The new construction, which will take t&e place of the secondary lookout that has been erected at Anderson Butte through the summer months for the past two years, will be built on top of a 30-foot tower. Short Line Mall Loot SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. April 29. (AP) Three bandits held up two mall clerks as they were sorting mall on an Oregon Shortllne train here late last night and escaped with a sack of registered mail. S'MATTER POP fa have thought It was some robber he'd killed. She would of course he alarmed It he had acted so im pulsively." "You may be right, of course," I continued, meeting Sue's eyes. "But It looks to me more as if she knew the murdered man and Lovschiem knew htm. And why did Madame Lovschiem try to replace the dag ger In the clock under my very yes and suggest that we keep any knowledge of It from tho police?" "Did she do that?" said Lorn. "She did," I said. Lorn made no comment, and Sue finally said thoughtfully, but very stubbornly. It seemed to me: "Perhaps Madame only wanted to keep the hotel out of as much scandal as was possible. And she thinks you didn't do it, Mr. Sun dean." "Nice of her, I'm sure," I said, zasperated. - Her eyes flared darker again, but lorn Intervened. "Y0U evidently don't know, Mr. ' Sundean, that tho police hare Cone quite thoroughly into the mat tor of alibis. The Lovschlems say they were within sight of each other and were actually talking when the boll rang and Lovschiem heard it Marlanno, the maid, says he was sound asleep, and the po lice had to bang -on the door ot her room" "Whore Is hor room?" I Inter rupted to ask. "On the second floor back to ward the service stair. It was the same with Mrs. Byng. The priest says Marcel had been with him up to a moment or two before Madame Lovschiem knocked on the door of bis room and begged him to come to the dead man. Marcel agrees. He turned suggestively toward the door. It is strange now to think how little - significance we gave that small burden In the palm ot my hand the small burden that so nearly meant my death. But that was later. "Going, Miss Tally?" he asked. "Yes," said Sue abruptly. "Good night." "Walt. I don't like your going through the corridors. Let me " "Oh, I'm going now, too," said Lr-rn. "I'll see that she gets to her room all right." "Look here, Miss Tally," I said. "You had a very terrible experi ence last night I want you to as sure me that you" strange that I stumbled over my trite words and wished Lorn wore back In New York "will take no risks." "Thank you," she said slowly. "I no I can't think I'm In danger now." She put out her hand, and I held It a moment, and Lorn said briefly: "I shall try to see that Miss Tal ly Is In no danger. Good night, Mr. Sundean." The whole tangle In all Its con tradictory aspects, whirled and whirled through my mind. The wind bowled outside, and the flames in the fireplace gradually died to a red glow. JuBt as the glow fell into ashes I think I went' to sleep. I woke suddenly. I did not know what had awak ened me. And yet In the stillness and the darkness and the cold of thai de serted wing there was some sort of life awakened. I heard It again. . A slight noise ot some motion some where. (Oopyrlght, III), Ulcnon Q. Sberhart) What I. th ilnlittr thing abroad, tomorrow. In tha croaking old hot.ir By C. M. PAYNE -f Cam't K II II ,if Si J . .
