SYNOPSIS Lola Carewe. night elub habituA. receives a death threat. New Year's Eve. Previously her dog and parrot were mysteriously killed. District Attorney Merle K. Dougherty suspects Lola of being the “brains" of the jewel thief ring that has baffled the police. Although her husband, Gaylord Gilford, died practically penniless. Lola lives in luxury. Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt places a guard in LolaX penthouse apartment, warning her that she mast not be alone in a room at any time. Mrs. Carewe. Ixila's mother; Chung the butler. Eunice the maid, and Vincent Rowland, an attorney, are present. In the living room, the Commissioner finds a bag belonging to Christine Quires, Lola's guest. It evidently had been used that night, yet Lola informs Colt that Christine is at the Lion’s Paw, a roadhouse, where Lola was to have joined her. Colt is surprised to find Mrs. Carewe’s room in strange contrast to the surrounding wealth. Lola’s own boudoir is a gaudy contradiction of the living room's elegance. Lola refuses to reveal the identity of the young man whose photograph adorns her dresser. CHAPTER SEVEN 1 ISS LOX, please go to Miss Wl Carewe at once. Remain with *■ her until relieved.” ■ Hearing this order the mother came hurriedly out of her room. “Please don't mind my daughter,” she pleaded. “Al! her life she has had her own way. Sp o i le. d, no doubt. But good at heart. Why not let me go to her instead?” “One of my people must guard her." Colt insisted. “But you may go with Miss Lox.” Mrs. Carewe shrugged her shoulders with a foreigner’s disapproving resignation. She followed Dorothy Lox to the bedroom door where the girl operative knocked and, receiving no answer, opened the door. Mother and detective then entered the boudoir and were hidden from our view. Colt stalked to the fireplace and struck a gong suspended from the mantel. Chung instantly responded. “Who is Miss Carewe’s physician?" he asked sharply. "Doctor Hugh Baldwin, who occupies the seventh suite on the second floor of this twenty-three-story building," supplied Chung, placid and grave. “Please telephone him and if he is in ask him to come here at once. If not, let me know—we must get someone!” Betraying no surprise, Chung turned on hi* flat heels and waddled from the room. But neither Dougherty nor Rowland were so self-controlled. At once both attorneys leaped from their chairs, confronting Colt and demanding to know why he had called a physician. “Unless 1 have read her wrong,! Lola Carewe is due for an attack of hysteria,” predicted Colt. Both the District Attorney and his elderly confrere looked relieved. "Then it was not because you anticipated violence?” asked Row-, land. . Colt lit a cigarette. “I don't know what to anticipate," he confessed. "But of one thing 1 feel sure—l have accounted for every human being in this apartment —and no one else can get in without being discovered.” Here Colt sent me to the door to inform Lieutenant Fallon that Doctor Baldwin should be allowed to enter. When 1 returned. Dougherty and Rowland were lighting cigars. “With all the safeguards that you have thrown about Lola now, Thatcher." protested the District Attorney, with a pop-eyed glance around him. “there can certainly he no more real danger--if there ever was any." he finished dourly. Vincent Rowland nodded “If. after all that you have done.

I Im II Unexpectedly, the bedroom door opened and Lol* Carewe appeared.

Mr. Colt,” he remarked, "the life of Lola Carewe were to be taken now, right under the nose of the Police Commissioner and the District Attorney, why that would be a miracle, really, wouldn't it?" A spiral plume of purple smoke ascended from Colt’s pursed lips. “It would look like a masterpiece of murder,” he agreed. “But perhaps that is what is intended.” “I don’t understand,” confessed Vincent Rowland plaintively. “No one knows how the dog and parrot died,” explained Colt. “Suppose the murderer were rehearsing —with some new and subtle poison compound that leaves no trace?” A burst of laughter came from behind the closed door of Lola’s boudoir. All three women—mother, daughter, and detective — seemed inexplicably to be laughing together. Their mirth had a weird sound. What could they be laughing about? Vincent Rowland flecked the ashes from his cigar. “Nothing’s going to happen to Lola” he decided, comforting him- ■ self. “She has a very short temper, i —just a chili You know, my dear Colt, she has a most undeserved reputation as a high liver. Her repi utation is almost operatic—l mean people think of her as a kind of Tosca living in present-day Man- , hattan. Nothing could be more absurd. Lola seems insincere and frothy, but she is really a decent I sort.” “What is your interest in her?” i Colt asked. ! There was a silence, broken only by the drone of an ice-making ma- | chine in Chung’s spotless kitchen. “I am interested in Lola Ca- ! ' ■ rewe,” Vincent Rowland replied, I: almost defensively, “because she > has sound ideas about modern art. i I think she is an original spirit in ’ decoration. Look at these rooms! ■, Some of her effects were exhibited at the Modern Designers Gallery > last spring She ia a very superior I ' person at heart —an enigma really.” | . i “Do you know any person who I : j might wish her dead?” pursued E , Colt. ; Vincent Rowland sat there, his | • cigar held by his teeth, while he j ■ lifted the skin of his face by press- • ing the tips of his forefingers upward at his temples All the while he watched in a wall-mirror as if . anxious to see what face-surgery i Duke, pitcher for the State Seci ondary Normal school baseball ' team, took part in each of the 27 put-outs his team made against ' Mignon High school in the final ’ game of the season here.

might accomplish for him. At Colt's question, he pushed the old skin higher and smiled like a satyr. “There are plenty of men who have tried to lay their hearts at her ( feet, since Gifford's sudden death She has Refused them all. I don’t believe any of her disappointed 1 males would murder. Still jealousy ■ “Might there not be other mo- I tives ?” suggested Dougherty, | studying • diamond ring on hia owe finger. Vincent Rowland frowned, and . lowered hi* fingers from their vain i employment. “Perhaps! There is one curious , circumstance which, maybe, I should not tell. When I first met ! her ** Unexpectedly, the bedroom door ■ opened and Lola Carewe appeared, wearing a peach-colored woolen : bathrobe, w-ith straight, black stripes. She was bright and smiling. “Please don’t be angry with me. Mr. Commissioner,” she apologized. “That woman detective of yours is so charming—she laughed me out of my pout. I realize I have behaved very badly.” “Say no more about it,” dismissed Colt. “What time is it now?” she called gaily. “Hpw long before the deadline?” “It is just five minutes to three o’clock,” Colt informed her. “And during those five minutes you ought to obey every request of the Police Commlsriwier—to the letter, Lola, to the letter.” enjoined Vincent Rowland severely. Her hand was on the knob and her cheek laid against the door. “I will be back in just a moment,” she gurgled. ”1 left a cigarette case in here!” I saw that Colt was right; she was dangerously on the edge of hysteria. For a moment. no one spoke. There was a solemn quiet in the room, a silence : almost ominous, as if we were on the eve of a serious discovery Far 1 down below us in the streets someone was blowing « horn; a childish pound, incongruous and ludicrously [inappropriate. A shadow marched i past the window blind, one of Colt's I men passing in his sentinel march on the terrace. (To Be Continued Tomorrow) Coryricl” 1931. hr Cnvtci Frierle.

DEMOCRATS IN CHICAGO FOR CONVENTION (CONTINUED FHOM PAGE ONhj have been established there. By early next week, headquart er* of Democratic presidential aspirants will be in the Ccngre** as follows: Gov. Roosevelt, Gov. Albert C. I Ritchie of Maryland, Speaker of the House John M. Garner, Harry A. Byrd of Viriginia. former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri. Gov. William H. Murray of Oklahoma and Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war. “We had to scurry around to j get ready for the Democats," said : John Burke, vice prseident of the i Congress Hotel company. "Lots j of litter left by the Republicans had to be cleared out and in a few cases we had to wake np late sleepers so the Democrats could move in." Out at the stadium. Superintend ent Martin J. Doherty said: "We are all ready. The Republicans achieved a little bit of a rumpus. Let the Democrats do their wildest, we’ll take care of them." A preliminary conference of Democratic leaders on their platform will be held next Thursday at their Congress headquarters. At the offices of Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the Chicago Citizens committee on conventions, a tired staff took on new worries about the Democratic convention. ■ Hurley smiled broadly. "It’s our turn now,” he said.

Do not make the mistake of placing dahlias too close Keep the Vine Cr Vegetable vine crops—cucumbers, squash and melons — are warm weather plants and to produce quality fruit they must be kept growing without check. Their speed ot top growth is equaled or surpassed by the speed of root growtTi. Success depends upon supplying conditions of soil and nourishment which will favor rapid, vigorous development.
