Robinson, former Decatur man, later of Missouri and I then u figure in the oil territories ' of the southwest, wus burled here , yesterday, his death occurring at I Irene Byron hospital after a years II illness. Jack, ns his friends knew 1 him hud a colorful career, starting as a lawyer and achieving success, he served as a member of the Missouri senate and then became a promotor of oil companies, and a producer. In his work he was successful and a few years ago was wealthy. Os pleasing personality and with rare ability he succeeded where others would have failed. His death is mourned by those who knew him best and the news will cause sorrow in those places where I e has resided during his life. There are many kinds of road hogs, motorists have found. Motorists have found two varieties of the species to be especially annoying, yet there are always ways of dealing with them. The most troublesome fellow is the driver who keeps so far to the left .that it is impossible to pass him. and drives -lowly and ignores appealing horns. He is the greatest traffic hindrance. Sometimes, poking along jat half Hie legal speed he holds up two or three traffic lines, because no one dares pass him to the right. Now and then he can be shamed into I moving over and allowing those who are going somewhere to get by. The most effective remedy is to arrest him for obstructing traffic. Police are generally too tolerant of this pest. Next comes the driver who, when traffic lanes are converging at a safety zone, or is slowing as they approach a traffic light, runs up on the left and tries to crowd in ahead of the rest. This is personal rudeness that very few would perpetrate in their homes or 1 in strangers' homes. Why they do it on the road is a mystery. Public manners are more barbarous than private manners. Such manners are dangerous.—Kendallville NewsL bun. o — Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the i Test Questions Printed j on Page Twa j 1. In Clusters. 2. February 2. 3. No. 4.

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX "|> UT who did It? Who was the ■ > concealed assassin ? Solve that—and the case is closed. We must begin with Christine, because she was the first. Who killed Christine Quires?” Mrs. Edgar Quires nestled against her husband, her face white with horror, her eyes bulging. The man himself was even paler than his wife, and his hands, patting her shoulder, were twitching. "Is it not true,” demanded Dougherty, “that this assassin could have got into the apartment, killed Christine and escaped ecot-frec, before our party ever reached here?” “That is true,” answered Thatcher Colt “On the other hand, the same person could have remained to kill Lola—i ft h e hiding-place were secure.” Guy Everett turned his face toward the mantel, buried his face in his arms, and suddenly burst into tears. “What’s eating him?” rumbled Dougherty ominously taking a step nearer to the sobbing actor. But the District Attorney not reckoned on his man. Guy Everett made his living by his emotions and their proper display. Sensing the approach of the enemy —for Dougherty had taken little pains to disguise his distrust—Everett suddenly backed from the fireplace and lifted his hands tragically above his head. “You are persecuting me!" he cried, his fingers da n c'i n g like flames and his eyes burning with fright. “You are trying to prove that I did it You want to send me to the electric chair. I didn’t do it, I tell you—l didn’t do it!” “Then what are you worried about?” rasped Dougherty. “You’ve got to have a victim! And you think I’m the weakest link in the chain!” Dougherty swaggered up to Guy Everett, lifted his hand, and gave him a violent shove. The performer toppled backward on his heels and landed in a soft chair, just behind him. Under different circumstanfes the expression on his face would have been comie. “Don’t try to bluff me,” snarled Dougherty. “You’ve been lying ever since we got hold of you. Now you see what a bad spot you're in. It looks like you killed Christine Quires. That’s bad enough. But it looks worse than that—it looks like you hung around afterward and killed Lola. too. They’d put you in the hot seat twice for all that!” “I didn’t," moaned Guy Everett. “I killed no one!” “You were blackmailed by Lola and she ruined you. She got all your money away from you. You blamed Lola and Christine too. You even had accomplices here!” “Accomplices!” gasped Everett, in his best second-act manner. “ByGod, sir—be careful what you say!” Oddly enough his pompous words, echoes of some old part he had played, perhaps, represented a j thoroughly genuine feeling. The very tone in which those words were uttered carried a guarantee. Whatever Guy Everett had done, if anything, he resented the idea of having an accomplice. It seemed to be a point of pride with the fellow, [ Yet even that pretty little balloon >

of personal conceit was to be , pricked. “You paid money to Eunice, didn’t you?" purred Dougherty with a wide opening of his eyes at Thatcher Colt and Flynn. A look of helpless horror crossed the actor's face. "I may have tipped her—l told you all about that ” Here Inspector Flynn broke in, striding forward with a threatening air. "You paid money to Eunice to keep a watch in the house for you and report to you what was going on. And we got that out of Eunice this morning. And she told us just where you met her on the outside, to get your reports. And that’s how you found out that Christine Quires made fun of you to Lola and that's why you hated Christine. Is that true or ain't it?” Desperately, Guy Everett fingered his pockets for a cigarette. He did not find one. To his amazement. Thatcher Colt stepped forward, opened a silver case and proffered him one of his own autographed blend. ‘Try one of these,” invited the Commissioner in friendly tones. The actor gave Colt a queer glance of suspicion. Was this another police dodge, to trap him? But Colt was smiling good-naturedly. “I am afraid we are a little premature, Dougherty.” he 4 re mon • strated amiably “The trouble with Mr. Everett is that he has not really told us the truth. We want to know where you really were. Mr. Everett, during the time when you said you were in that speakeasy.” Colt’s cigarette between Everett’s lips seemed to act as a magic talisman. The man looked haggardly at the Commissioner and said: “I have been afraid to tell!” “But now?” prodded Colt. “I will tell you everything. 1 was with Doctor Baldwin's wife!” That simple statement was electrifying to us. It answered in one sentence the riddle of Mrs. Baldwin’s mysterious midnight visitor. But what possibilities did it open up? If there was one person who had a motive for killing Lola Carewe, it was the chumpling little Mrs. Baldwin. Were we now to come to a surprise solution? Yet how could Mrs. Baldwin have accomplished those two murders? “Why did you go to the home of Mrs. Baldwin?” asked Colt inci- | sively. “Because 1 was desperate," answered Everett, with a shake of his [head. “I had been a victim of Lola Carewe. From what Christine had told me, I realized at last that she, too, had been a victim. And I gathered that Doctor Baldwin was another. I had no practical scheme. But it did seem to me that if al) of us who had been fleeced by that I woman could get together there might be some hope of forcing her to give us back our money. So I drove from here up to Mrs. Baldi win’s apartment and told her what had happened to me. and that I knew her husband had also been fleeced. Please do not think me too much of a cad. I did not reveal anything to her—l went there to talk to Baldwin himself—but from her [talk, I soon learned that she was fully aware of the situation.”

Mrs. Baldwin nodded solemnly. “Every word he says is true, she declared. “He lied only to protect me. But it wouldn’t be fair “Too bnd you didn’t tell us this last night,” grumbled Dougherty. But Colt was going forward. "Now," he resumed thoughtfully, “I would like to return to our reconstruction of the crime. We have shown how Christine Quires could have been killed. But I would like to pass on from the first murder to the second—the murder of Lola Carewe.” Here the Commissioner turned and looked directly at Vincent Rowland. All during the examination of Everett, there had come no word from the well-groomed old lawyer Placidly he had sat there, smoking many cigarettes, and otherwise scarcely moving in his chair Now his bright old eyes blinked brightly back at the Police Commissioner “Mr. Rowland," began Thatcher Colt. “I sent you this afternoon i transcript of the last letter known to have been written by Doctor Baldwin." “I have read ,t carefully," Rowland assured him in a mincing voice. “Have you any answer to makr to those charges which he levels against you?” Vincent Rowland stirred-restless ly, and then stood up, as if pre ferring to meet his inanisitor nr his feet “There are no charges there, he , replied with a decisive tug at hit , chin-whiskers. “There are only suspicions The time has -ome for frank speaking I nave felt since last night that it would come 1 have prepared myself to meet it The fact is that I ‘x>o was a de tim of Lola Carewe But. if 1 say so myself, I was a victim afte, a different fashion I me* her, yot see, because I was a friend of hi" husband She affected to rely on me. She asked me to be her financial adviser. I knew that her husband had lost his fortune and that she had only his insurance—but that amounted to more than a half a million, so there was no real mystery about where Lola’s money came from—and I felt pleased to guide her in her investments. You may know that I have always been a consistent foe of fake brokerage houses. In this way I became an expert in the knowledge of their [tricks. Lola made me tell her end- 1 lessly about these tricks. I did not know until recently that she was putting them into practice, and secretly getting money from her men friends in this way. We had many bitter quarrels on the subject. But by this time I discovered that Lola had a hold on me greater than had dreamed. She had beco m r aware of some of my personal concerns which, indiscreetly, in idle moments I had blabbed to her. Now she could—and did— blackmail me. But only temporarily I had fully resolved to crush her in her own scheme. Consequently I pretended to be friendly with her still, and take her around places, but I was weaving a net as only a skilled attor ney can, and in the end 1 meant to crush her. But suddenly all that was unnecessary.” (To Be Continued) Copyright W3l. by Covici Fnede. Tne. Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Tne
