MURDER MYSTERY
IVAN FIRTH---
SYNOPSIS
Lawrence Vane, noted portrait
painter, is held as a. material wit-
ness in connection with the murder
of his bride of three months fol-
lowing the discovery of a headless
nude body upon the terrace of hia
penthouse apartment. Three weeks
before that happened, two of his
friends—Wilbur Renton and Roger
Thomley—were discussing their
love affairs and Vane’s recent'mar-
riage to Isobel Mackenzie who was
well known to both. Renton’s in-
terest in Isobel had caused a
break between him and Betty
Potter, a pretty young newspaper-
woman, who lives in the apartment
beneath the Lawrence Vanes’!
Thornley says that he and his wife,
Millie, a former ehow-girl, are
leaving for Seattle soon. Renton
calls on Betty to plead hia cause
anew, now that Isobel had married.
She tells Mm that they cannot
marry and reluctantly admits that
she had been in love with Vane.
Renton bitterly denouncei Isobel,
exclaiming that he’d like to choke
her to death. Betty is horrified by
hie words.... Early the next morn-
ing, Wilbur Renton denies that he
haa anything to do about notifying
the police concerning the Vane
murder, and ia worried privately
because heJwtd called on Betty Pot-
ter so dole to the scene of that
homicide. Inspector Ingles per-
suades Betty to consult her uncle,
Cyrus K. Mantel, famous detec-
tive. She doe&se, and Uncle Cyrus
reluctantly accepts the case. He
and Inspector Ingles call on Vane
in his Tombs celL The prisoner
tella his own story of what hap-
pened the night before, strongly
maintaining ms innocence. After
examining the corpus delicti at the
morgue, "Uncle Cyrus” leaves his
police inspector friend and calls on
the sophisticated proprietress of
Kate Doyle’s Club. Wilbur Ren-
ton . . . puzzled because the po-
lice claim he, or someone Imper-
sonating him, phoned them the tip
which led to the murder discovery
,.. he is again calling at Betty Pot-
ter’s apartment.

K
Suky answered him for the sec-
ond time that morning.
"Jus’ a minute, Mr. Renton, sub.”
Was it imagination, or did Suky's
voice hold a different note than the
usual deferential one with which
she greeted him?
“Hello? Whp is It?” came in the
crisp notes of Betty's best business
voice.
“Betty! This is Wilbur! I’ve got
to see you, right away. Can I come
over to your place now?”
She hesitated.
HI don’t Jcnow that that would be
wise, Wilbur, under the circum-
stances.”

"Don’t talk any more on the
phone,” he warned, "I’ll be right
over. I think it is best, Betty—for
both our sakes.”
"All right. Hurry though. I have
to have a bite of lunch and rush

As he went up in the elevator In
Betty’s apartment house, with the
suddenly important Robert E. Lee
Jackson, he was conscious of that
strange pall, almost a palpable scent
to the nostrils, that permeates a
house of death. «
"Suah am turrible, ain’t it, suh?”
volunteered Lee, rolling hia eyes at
Renton. - •
"Yes,” Renton started to answer,
then caught himself. "What are
you talking about, boy?” he
snapped.
" 'Bout de murder las’ night,” Lee
said blandly. "You all knows erbout
it, Mr. Renton, suh?”
Renton felt his skin pale.
“What do you mean?” he snarled.
"Why should I know about the mur-
der—” he caqght himself, "any mur-

“Why, suh,” Robert E. Lee looked
at him in wide-eyed innocence, “you

“Heah ye are, Mr. Renton, suh.

nounced unctuously.
“Damn that dingel” muttered
Renton to himself as ne rang Betty’s
bell.
He found himself glad of old
Suky’s welcoming black smile;
somehow it reassured him. Just as
he entered the living-room he
glanced back at her and a queer
shock went through him at the
change that had come over her face,
for now the ebony were
malevolent, ami she had her hand
raised in a stran.rriy o !.l ges.ure
that in some way seemed to bear a
hidden menace.
Quickly, he entered the other
room and greeted. Betty with a feel-
ing of relief which he knew to be
exaggerated, but wmich he could not
control.
“Betty,” he exclaimed, “my dear,
you look tired, and . pale. I know
now dreadful this must be for you
. . . and to think that your paper
should send you out to cover this
‘case.’ It’s too horrible, Betty—you
can’t stand it. Why don't you chuck
the whole thing? You can’t do it,
She turned glowiiig eyes to his.
“Isn’t that lovely? They seem so
happy together. Perhaps this trip
away from the crowd will truly
bring them together again.”

MOBILE, Ala., June 13.—Sick
and'tired of sea life and seeking
something new in the way of. di-
versions, Captain H. C. Brotc. mas-
ter. of the steamship Afel. has
found a hobby he believes will * in
five* years see him an entirely in-
dependent man. rocking on* the
front -veranda of his Abita Springs.

ing the bridge of a rolling freight-
er- f ' t5" ' *
Striving at a new departure l*rom
the traditional ambition of all sea-
man—to some day retire to the
quietude of a country cottage • and
raise chickens and*hoga—he took to
raising beavers on his St. Tam-
many Parish marshland acres. .Now
each, during a year. The young
swim at the age of one hour and
soon learn to hang onto their moth-
ers eight sources of milk supply,
which are conveniently arranged
on cither side father than under-
neath. while the mother is swim-
ming at full speed through the
water. Baby swamp beavers, lunch-
ing on the run. the captain says,
resemble nothing more than a
miniature flotilla of warship under
full steam. The young beavers
grow1 within a year and g half to
sixteen pounds. .
One of the “rats” he has raised
to a tame state and named “Hawk-
eye.” probably because he can spot
a turnip' root from a greater dis-
tance than the rest of the herd.
But hg will not allow his two chil-
dren to play with the amusing lit-
the hobby has grown into a lusty, tie animal, w’h'o sits and begs, dog-
howling industry which promises a
life of ease and comfort within a cause beavers are easily scared and

His beaver farm, the only one in
the south and one of the few in
the entire United States, has prov-

small piece of property in this sec-
tion can build a profitable business.

“Kate," Gyrus K. repeated, “what
do you know about Isobel Vane?”
Kate deliberately lighted a fresh
cigarette before she answered.
‘‘Isobel Vatie?” she repeated.
“Are you going on that case, Cyrus
K. 7” !
“I am on that case’ now, Kate,”
he told her directly. “What do you
know about it?”
“Hey! Hey!” she cried in'mock
terror. “First you want to kpow
what I know about Isobel Vane and
then, what I know about the murder
case. Which do ydu mean, Cyrus
K.?”
“Don’t try to fence with me,
Kate,” Mantel told [her gently.
“Why do you refer to the ‘murder
case’? Eh?”
' ~
Betty—you can’t.”
Betty turned to him, steady-eyed,
firm-lipped, calm-voiced.
“Why not, Wilbur?” she asked
mildly, “after *111 am a newspaper
woman . . . and,” her sweet lips
curled, “the story’s the thing you
know. Never mind whose heart may
break—get the story.”
“But Betty,” he protested, “you
can’t be mixed up in this—you
can’t.”
“And why not?” she countered,
Still in that strangely gentle man-
ner.
"Because of Lawrence Vane, Bet-
ty,” he saw her wince, "and because
of you ... and,” his voice dropped,
“because... of me.”
“I’m afraid you’re too late, Wil-
bur,” she said. "I am mixed up in
it—in more ways than you know.”
She saw him start and pale.
"I’m in it professionally,” she
continued, "I’m in it because of you,
and because of me, and because of
—Lawrence Vane.”
“What do you mean, Betty?”
“I got my uncle, Cyrus K. Mantel,
to take on the case the first thing
this morning,-” she told him steadily.
Wilbur Renton’B eyes widened to
a stare. “Betty! Betty! he gasped,
"you don’t know wbat you’ve done."
Her slim figure straightened, aiid
her firm little chin went up in the
air.
"I always know what I’m doing.”
(die asserted, "and so does Unde
Cyrus. He’ll find out all about this
terrible thing, and then Lawrence
Vane will be free.” Her voice rose
to a cry. "And I don’t care who suf-
fers, so long as he is safe.”
"Betty, wait!” Renton started
forward.
A knock came at the door,
“Miss Betty,” came Suky's soft
voice, “yeahs a postal cyard foh you,
Honey.”
Both welcomed the interruption.
Betty took the card and read it
aloud.
“It’s from Millie and Roger
Thornley,” she cried. “Millie wrote
it. I’ve always envied her that
round, clear writing of hers—mine
is such a scrawl. Look at what she
says, ‘Roger and I having a grand
trip, enjoying every minute of it.
Roger calls it a second honey-moon.

same route—1‘-it's beautiful. Greet-
ings to Renton, love to yon.
“ ‘Millie and Roger.’ ”
fic herd has increased to fifty-one.
In a year’s time he expects to have
around four hundred.
Upkeep of the “rats,” the Cap-
tain declares, is a simple matter.
Unlike the flat-tailed beaver of
North America, this round-tailed
species builds no dams nor cuts
down any timber. It lives on simple
foods, such as alfalfa, corn, stale
Wead and barks and roots of trees.
,its sleek, oily coats mdkes it prac-
tically immune to vermin and di-
sease and its hardy constitutions
•enable it to “take it” in the hottest
and coldest weather without a
whimper.
Beavers do not prey .upon fowl or
1 domestic animals and are intelli-
gent and affectiohate pets. That,
the captain moans, is where : the
rpb comes in. When one has raised
a “rat”1 to the butchering age <14
months), killing him is the last
thing one wants to do. But' $5 is
15 and that is the price each fur
brings in a ready market.
The coarse outer hair,called the
guard hair, is first removed. This is
exported to Europe and the United
Kirtgdom for use of making felt
hats. Hie hide proper, after tan-
ning, is utilized for lining aviators’
.coats and for women’s 'fine apparel.
