WHOSE WIFE 7 ? ci apvs SHAW ERSKINE and IVAN FIRTH—

SYNOPSIS Lawrence Vane, noted portrait painter, is held as a material witness in connection with the murder of his bride of three months following the discovery of a headless nude body upon the terrace of his penthouse apartment. Three weeks before that happened, two of his friends—Wilbur Renton and Roger Thornley—were discussing their love affairs and Vane’s recent mar-ri.-.ge to Isobcl Mackenzie who was well known to both. Renton’S ininterest in Isobcl had caused a break between him and Betty Potter, a pretty young newspaperwoman, who lives in the apartment beneath the Lawrence Vanes’. Thornley says that he and his wife, Milli*, a former show-girl, are leaving for Seattle soon. Renton calls on Betty to plead his cause anew, now that Isobel had married. She tells him that they cannot marry and reluctantly admits that she had been in love with Vane. Renton bitterly denounces Isobel, exclaiming that he'd like to choke her to death. Betty is horrified by his words.... Early the next morning, Wilbur Renton, denies that he had anything to do about notifying the police concerning the Vane murder, and is worried privately because he had called on Betty Potter so close to the scene of that homicide. Inspector Ingles persuades Betty to consult her uncle, Cyrus K. Mantel, famous detective. She does so, and Uncle Cyrus reluctantly accepts the case. He and Inspector Ingles call on Vane in his Tombs cell. The prisoner is telling what happened the night before.

CHAPTER IX

“I must have fallen asleep in front of the fire in my studio. I woke -to find two police officers there. They told ir.e some cock-and-bull story about a fight on my roof. Then they asked where my wife Isobel was. We went to look for her—and—" his voice broke. “She was gone!” “Yes,” Mantel prompted. "And then?” “Then Ingles here came in—he went out on the roof—then he and the officers came back and made me go out and look at that ghastly thing that lay there.” He shuddered, and covered his eyes with his hands. "Yes?" said Mantel again. “Then Ingles arrested me,” Vane's voice dripped with bitterness, "for the murder of—my wife; that’s really what his technical charge . . . ‘material witness,’ . • . | •mounts to,” Cyrus R. removed his pince-nez . and gently stroked one eyebrow with the rim. , “And," he asked causually, "had you murdered your wife?” i “Good God, NO, man! I told ; Jngles—that woman’s body wasn't Isobel’sl" His voice rose. “It wasn’t i Isohel’s, I tell you!” Ingles uttered an exclamation between a grunt and a groan. “Snap out of it, Lawrence,* he said. “You can’t make that.” “That will do. Inspector,” Cyrus K. interrupted him. “If you don’t mind, I am conducting this case at the moment.” He returned his attention to Vane. “Were you in the habit of having other women at your penthouse?” he asked. Vane glared at him a minute, then—- " Only my models," he said. “Ah! Only your models.” Mantel repeated thoughtfully. “Time's up!” came the voice of the guard, and the rattle of his keys sounded as he opened the cell door. Through the bars that once more enclosed Vane alone, Cyrus K. reached a friendly hand, and shook that of the younger man. “Keep up your courage,” he said quietly. “You’ve been dealt a bad hand—you may have played it wrong, or the cards may nave been stacked, I don’t know.” He straightened and gave the trembling hand he held a hearty grasp. “But this I do know. Cyrus K. Mantel is sitting in the game from now on—and we shall see, we shall see!” As Inspector Ingles and Cyrus K. left Vane’s cell and walked back with the guard to the main office, both men were silent Although their thoughts centered about the same subject, those thoughts varied greatly. Mantel, characteristically was already mentally mapping out his first moves in this new game in which he had decided to take a hand. A game with far more than a prize of added fame for his already famous name. For the way in which this game was played, and his winning or losing, meant life or death to Lawrence Vane.

Ingles also was thinking of Vane and of Mantel. But he was

SM® ; j Through the bars, Cyrus K. Mantel reached a friendly hand ani shook that of Lawrence Vane.

“That’s all right,” Ingles assured him, “my time is yours for as long as you need me. Have you your car here?” “No, I never use the car when I’m on business, only for pleasure, or in case of an emergency, or the need of great haste. It’s far too conspicuous for a detective who really wants to detect" he finished whimsically. They got into a taxi and started uptown to the East Side, way over by the East River where that house of tragedy and cold somberness is. The New York Morgue. As Ingles gave their destination to the driver, Mantel smiled his Puck-like smile and said. "We're doing very well indeed for a bright morning. The Tombs, a talk with a supposed murderer, and flow the Morgue and a look at the body. Very cheerful, indeed, very cheerful.” * Ingles grinned, but ine worried frown did not leave his brow. “All very well,” he said, “only 1 wish to heaven al) es your statement were true." “What’s not true about it, I'd like to know?” Mantel bristled in mock anger. “Your Use of the term ’supposed murderer,’” Ingles told him “It's a greater grief to me than you know, but Vane is guilty of a hideous crime if ever anybody was.”

Mantel threw him a sidelong glance charged with sly mirth, and said, “In the parlance of the day. ‘says you’!" “And that’s all very well, too.” persisted Ingles doggedly, “but would you mind telling me whiit makes you think that Vane can be anything else but guilty, when every point of evidence is So strong against him?” “Who said 1 thought he was innocent?” Cyrus K. looked injured. '7 don’t know whether he’s guilty or not But,” he tapped Ingles' big hand with his forefinger, “that’s what I'm going to find out . . . and , . he stopped the tapping finger to emphasize h|s point, “I’m working for him, not for the State. . . “Well, the Lord knows that I wish you success, but I’m afraid you’ro up against a hard proposition,” Ingles said morosely. “I’ve been up against hard propositions before,” Mantel snapped, with one of his lightning changes of mbnd. Then added I thoughtfully. “What makes you so all-fired sure that Vane is guilty? • After all although J wjjl grant you

”1 see,” said Cyrus K. slowly. “1 see. Well, here we are at the morgue. First of all I’ll take a look at this body.” “Isobel Vane’s body,” said Ingles distinctly. Mantel looked at him • moment, then said quietly: “Vane says that it is not the body of his wife. He ought to know.” "Then whoso wife is it?” Ingles demanded. “My dear sir! How can you expect me to tell you that so soon.” Cyrus K. was enjoying himself. “I haven’t even seen the body yet." The two men entered those portals which have seen so much of the tragedy of life through suddeh death. •• • • As Ingles and Mantel, for the second time that morning, left somber scenes for the bright sun of the day. the effect of the terrible things they had just gazed upon weighed upon each man differently. Ingles, although used to many sad and tragic happenings in his capacity as Police Inspector, was depressed. His stern face Was set in lines of inner suffering. Cyrus R., on the other nand, was alert. His always sharp wit seemed to have been sharpened still further by the sight of tne body of Isobel Vane. , . . Now the case had become real td him—a fact—and one that needed his mfhd to unravel its many knotted threads. This was the sort of thing he lived for. Queerly mixed In the strange little man were different motives. If jqu were to ask him why he went into all these ca-ses, he would tell you without hesitation that it was because he liked to solve mysteries, that that was his one interest in life, and he would disclaim any interest whatsoever in the human side of the cases. This would be true only partially—for he did love the joy of Solving the unsolvable, and he preened himself like a small fighting cock in the plaudits of the public that followed each and every new coup made by him; but when he said be was uninterested in the human side of the cases that he took on, there he lied deliberately. ... For beneath his quick-tempered, whimsical exterior, lay the kindest heart in the world. And a great love of his fellow-meh was a closer guarded secret in the breast of, Cyrils K. Mantel.
