PA-GE ST3C The While Cocktoo by Mignon C. Ebcrhart BYNOfaiB: Buepeoted or two I unnoivea muraere ov mm pwnn wounded bv a ehot from an un known assailant. Jim Bundcan trice to lee his teal clear. Marcel porter in the little French hotel which is the acene ot the tragedies revealed just before he was mur dered that Father Robart't alibi woe talee, Bue Tally, center ot it aU because she hae a token with which she can claim halt her ta, ther's huge tortune. telle Bundcan the hotel manager cannot open h's sate to give her valuable paper I" is keeping tor her. Chapter it A CHANGED L0V8CHIEM "OUT, good Lord," 1 laid, "can't O the man open his own sate with out directions? And even so, would he have only one copy of the combl nation? That's Just silly. He sure ly didn't expect you to believe it!" "Yes," she said reluctantly. "I think he did. You see, it really Is a sew safe. I know that, because I've been here, you see, and I remember when tt came. And It actually Is a little difficult to open, and I've seen him obliged to follow the directions and perhaps try two or three times before he could get It open." It seemed, somehow, a maladroit ness inconsistent with what I should have expected ot Lovschelm, "Here's the doctor," Sue went on abruptly. "You'd better let him look at your shoulder." The wound was doing very well, the doctor Indicated some twenty minutes later in my own room. I walked back through the corridors ' and to the door of the lobby with him, and we parted most amicably, having held an earnest conversation lor halt an hour, during which nei ther, I was convinced, understood one word that the other spoke. Lovschlem was at the desk. He bowed greasily to the departing doc tor and then to me, Inquiring how my shoulder was doing. "Better," I said shortly to Lov schlem. "By the way, Lovschlem, where does this prloBt come from?" "The priest7" repeated Lovschlem doubtfully. His little eyes were spec ulative. The dirty jewels on his fat dark hands winked maliciously at me. v A distinct ohange had come over Lovschlem during the last two days. He was frightened, glistened uncom fortably, and looked as If he had truly not slept; but there was some thing more than fright and weari ness In bis face and hurried, fum bling speech. Had 1 not felt as I did toward Lovschlem I should have called It a queer sort of perplexity. "M'mm," he said slowly, "Paris, I believe. Yes, Paris. He's come here for his health, you know." "How long has he been here?" "Three weeks, perhaps. I have It all here. Why do you ask?" I DID not reply. ' I was looking at the bright pamphlet which came into sight as be moved the register. He followed my gaze and with a sudden movement pulled the regis ter again toward blm, so that It cov ered the printed booklet again com pletely. "See here," be said with unctuous amiability. "I will show you the date he arrived; almost three weeks to the day," I was conscious ot hta eyes follow ing me and I was wondering, not why a railroad time-table was there . on the desk of a hotel lobby, but why be had covered tt so quickly, "Ah, good-morning, Mr. Sundean," boomed a voice so startllngly near me that I all bnt leaped skyward. It was Mrs. Byng, of course; or rather a bundle of shawls and fringes from -which Mrs. Byng's nose and voice, each equally belligerent, emerged. "And how's the shoulder?" she houted. "Come over here and sit down." At a commanding gesture I sat down In the chair beside her. She looked, rather glared, at Sue Tally, who stood chatting with the doctor not far away. "Nice girl," sh - went on without perceptible pause. "Pretty. Who's he talking to, the doctor? Yes, I see, It's him. Pretty girl pretty girl." She paused, snorted, leaned nearer me and said In what passed -with her for a whisper: "Pretty hut queer." "Queer?" I repeated, looking from the formidable nose to Sue, standing over near the gate, and back again. "Queer?" "Queer. You know the night that poor man was murdered? Well, what was she doing turning out the lights?" "But she didn't," I said. The woman snorted again. "Didn't, h'mm?" she said scorn fully. "I saw her do tt with my own eyes." , Roseburg Vets Win First Tilt ROSKBUTU3, Ore., My 0.

Then, conscious that her sharp eyes might be reading more than I chose they should read in my face, I said: "Isn't there a possibility that you are mistaken?" "Not in the least," she said promptly. "I'll tell you how It was. I didn't tell the police and shan't, for I rather like the girl. But this Is what happened. Do you know where my room Is?" "It's on the second foor, Isn't It?" She nodded. "Number 11; It's Just there at the turn ot the corri dor from the south wing, where the lounge Is, you know, into the middle section of the hotel. You pass it every time you go toward the north wing corridor. "Well, anyway, there's a what do you call it? a switch box In the south-wing corridor Just across ai an anglo from my door. The nlgln that ma was murderod up there on that landing I wasn't sleeping well. The wind was howling and shrieking and rattled my windows till peace ful rest was out of the question. "I heard some noise, howovor, dur ing a temporary lull of the wind that sounded as If It came from the hall. Now, as you might surmise, we are very qulot here; a noise in the hall around midnight and past is un usual. So having nothing better to do I got up and went to the door nnd opened it a little. "The light was burning dimly In the hall, and that girl was standing there at the switch box; the door of the little cupboard wrs open, and she had her hand on the big switch, the one that controls tho whole ho tel I looked tbe noxt morning to make sure and Just as I looked she pulled It, and the light went out in tbe hall. "I went back to bed and " con cluded Mrs. Byng with a fine feeling for climax "thirty minutes or so later was hauled out by tbe police for murder." "But are you sure It was Miss Tally T Couldn't It have been Ma dame Lovsohlom?" "I've got good eyes, Mr. Sundean. It was Sue Tally." (Copyright, less, Utgnon Q.
