' "Don't forget you're still under suspicion; It your story doesn't check up you'ra In for trouble. Oh and by the way," be turned at the door to add bla last words, "I sup pose It bas ne' r entered your bead to let a decent girl get bold of you and try to make something worth while out of you, bas It?" "What d'you mean?" asked Dale. "It any girl had done for me what Miss Featheratone did for you to day, Shipley, I'd go down on my kneea to thank her; but you'ra so damned egotistical you're blind." Hylton slammed tbe door behind him and left a surprised and crest fallen young man In the drawing room. Nancy was waiting In the hall. "Mr. Hylton," she said Quickly, as he came towards her, "I want to apologize for what I did. Please don't think I'm running away from It, I'm only speaking personally now." "Miss Featberstone," he said gently, "I've been cursed with a most curious memory. Do you know, I am beginning to think that I can forget all about what happened today on one condition.'' I 1 think you are a fright fully good sort." but there was a look about her, something wild and frightened and yet horribly triumphant in her eyes. He was Just about to ask the woman what she wanted when she shook her bead. She said nothing, but almply moved her eyes In the direction of tbe man who bad just left the room, and back again to the Inspector nod ding twice quickly; then she dropped her detaining fingers from his arm and noiselessly moved Into the centre of tbe kilenen. Hylton hesitated for a moment and then followed the Sergeant. "I suppose you hung round the Hoops most of the day," he said after he bad lit a cigar and made himself comfortable. "A good part of It. I naturally didn't want to miss you." "My fault entirely as a matter of fact I had quite a peculiar day. I was up at Flelden Cottage early this morning and the first things I dis covered there waa that young Ship ley bad done a bolt." JAMES WHITE seemed Interested for the first time that evening. "Mr. Shipley bolted?" he asked. "Whatever for?" "Curiously enough, Sergeant, that's tbe very question I asked my self. Do you know anything of Miss Frances Lawson?" "The Lodge-keeper's daughter? "On one condition?" "Yes. That you go, now, Into that room, and tell Dale Shipley what yqu did and why you did it." Nancy Featberstone stared . at him; then she turned from white to brick red. At length she managed to blurt out: "I I think you are a (rightfully good sort." Klngsley Hylton smiled and went towards the front door. "-iOOD evening, Inspector." vJ Even in his own mentally agi tated state, It waa on the tip of Hyl ton's tongue to cry out "Oood Lord, whst's the matter with your wife?" Alice White. was standing In a cor ner of the room, poker-straight against tbe wall and looking as -white as death. "I went to the Hoops at you told me," Sergeant White said. "Yes I say, I'm sorry I wasn't there, as a matter of tact I've had rather an extraordinary day." "Y3?" The -man's voice, wee so entirely wooden snd uninterested that Hyl ton glanced up sharply. "I say," he laughed, "I'm afraid I have Interrupted tea. I'm sorry." "That's all right, sir." A long thin knife on tr-s-tsble caught Hylton's attention. He picked It up and said, "That's a useful look ing sort of knife. Sergeant." "Perhaps we belter go Into the of fice," White suggested. "Rlght-o, let's. There are halt a dozen things I wsnt to talk about if Mrs. White will excuse us." He looked up wltb one of his quick smiles at the woman who had not yet said a word; she nodded, snd when the two men moved across the room she followed them. While led the wsy, and the Inspec tor was half through the doorway following him when something plucked at his arm. He turned to find Alice White stsndlng there. She ssld nothing, From what I can hear of her Bho'a like the rest of women, take up with any man she can get hold of." Hylton gave a full account of Dais Shipley's story, to which White paid so little attention that the Inspector was moved to break off and enquire rather sharply, "You listening, Ser geant?" "Yes, I'm fistenlng." "And you think it likely or not?" "Very likely I should think. Be sides if Shipley cut and run because of this murder business he would hsrdly stroll back a day later, would he?" Hylton was forced to admit the force of thla. "Not unless he'a very deep," he said. "I went straight ta the Lodge and was lucky enough to catch Miss Frances alone. She 'came clean,' and I must say her yarn fit ted In In every detail with young Shipley's." , , . "Then.lt looks all right." "It looks all right, certainly; but If Dale Bhlpley didn't do It" "I don't think Dale Shipley did the murder, Inspector." "You've said that before, White. But It Shipley didn't do it, who the devil did?" Any answer wss forestalled by the shrill Insistence of the telephone bell. "The super at Morechesler wants a word with you, sir," White said, handing the instrument over. "Damn," Hylton said fervently, replacing the Instrument after a mo ment. "They want me to go over to Morecbester stsrted some hare brslned theory, I suppose, but I shall have to go; they're sending a car to the Hoops." Sergeant White shut the door after the departing Hylton and went slowly Into the kitchen. He found It as he expected to find It empty.

Blind Marksman Struck totally blind at 30 when an electrlo cigar lighter exploded In his tace. the Intrepid, late Thomas David Schall refused to let the handicap Interfere with his career. Strange aa It seems. Schall was a member of the U. S. Congress for 31 consecutive years. After rising to political prominence In Minneapolis during his practice of law there, he was elected to the House of Repre sentatives In 1914. holding the of flee until 1929. In the fall of 1034 ha waa elected U. S. eenator and re tained thla position until hla death In 10.15 when he waa fatally Injured by sn automobile. Senator Schall depended upon his acute sense of hearing for his amaz ing ability as a pistol marksman and horseman. Standing at a considerable distance from the target, he had attendants stand by to tap the bullseye. Basing his aim on the direction of the sound he hit the target with uncanny regularity. Hla method In leaping hurdles on horseback waa also dependent on sound. Oalloplng up to the hurdle, he gauged hla distance by the noise of bells and buzzers sounded by at tendants who were atatloned near the leap.
