WHOSE WIFE? MWWRMYSTERy

CHAPTER XV “Hello, Mr. Mantel. Hello, Ingles,” Vane greeted them quietly. Cyrus K. took note, even as he returned the greeting of the young artist, that Lawrence Vane semed to have no horror of the terrace across which he was walking. He also noticed, and was pleased with his observation, that Vane stepped forward firmly with his head erect, and his blue eyes clear and straight ahead. Quite a different person from the sullen, moroso prisoner of the Tombs. Ingles said gruffly, “Hello, V’ane. Glad you’re out. But I hat* to have to see you her* under these circumstances.’* “You don’t hate to see me here this way any more than I hate to be here,” Vane returned with spirit. Then he turned to Mantel. “Have you found out anything, sir?” he asked. “I’ve just been looking about a little,” Mantel evaded. ‘‘Let’s get straight onto these sketchbooks of | yours.” “Seems a queer sort of time to choose to take a look at sketches of mine,” said V’ane. Ingles threw him a piercing glance, then said, “Lawrence, what would you commence with on this case?” “I would try to get you police started on finding my wife,” Vane answered quietly. “Humph,” Ingles grunted. “That’s why I want to see those sketches, Mr. Vane,” said Cyrus K. gently. Lawrence Vano turned on his heel and preceded the two older men back into the studio of the apartment where he had known happiness for such a short time. “All right,” he said. “I’ll get them out.” Mante! walked over deliberately' and stood beneath the mante! of the wide, log-burning fireplace. Above the mantel shelf, sconced on either i side by old-world candle-sticks was a painting, arresting in its beauty —a nude woman, the flesh tints en- • trancingly lovely, standing poised and startled in a listening attitude, Mn a verdant wood, dappled with I warm sunlight. Rich auburn hair rippled down her body, partly veiling her beauty; her face was vague, but beautiful in the shadows. “Is that a picture of . . , your wife?” he asked, turning to Vane . where he shuffled large portfolios about, in search of the needed j sketchbooks. , Vane glanced up abstractedly, , saw where Mantel stood, and sud- - denly his face was suffused pain- | I fully with a scarlet flush. “That?" he stammered. “No ... that’s not my wife .. . that’s a sort : of composite picture . . . you , know . . .” he explained eagerly, “a mixture of many models . . . and perhaps . . . the dream or ideal of the artist ... a picture like that is rarely, If ever, a true portrait of i any one woman . . he iaughed nervously. “If it were, one's wife wouldn’t let one have it about.” “It’s a verv beautiful body, and very beautifully painted," Cyrus K. adjusted his pince-nez as he spoke and studied the picture intently. “Do you mean,’’ Ingles said slowly, “that an artist often puts the beauties of many different models into one painting?” “Yes,” said Vane briefly. “The head of one upon the body of another?” Ingles persisted. “Why certainly," Cyrus K. put I in cheerfully, “and the hair of still i another.” Vane looked at Mantel keenly for : a moment, then dropped his eyes i as the twinkling black eyes of the I little detective met his. “It’s a funny thing about the hui man body,” said Cyrua K. “EveryI one sees it differently. To the layi man it is something to feed and to j clothe; to the youngster of this age I it is something to test new sensaI Hons with; to the parson it is something addicted to sin, with a soul that most be saved; to the surgeon j it is something to dissect—to save from disease and to practice upon; ! and to the artist it is something to j paint and to glorify for future generations to enjoy and marvel at.” “Looks to me as though sometimes the artist and the surgeon get their cues mixed,” said Ingles deliberately. Vane lifted h's head with a challenging anger in hi 3 eyes. “What do you mean by that. Inspector?" he asked. “Are you go-

ing to keep on harping on that idea. I’ve told you before that I know nothing about that ghastly body you and your officers found out on my terrace. And that’s God’s truth. The trouble with all you police Is,” he went on angrily, “that you get an idea in your heads and you ride it to a fare-you-well, and all the time you are trying to prove your own particular theory the real culprit gets away. You can’t see beyond the nose in front of your face.” “Or beyond the body in front of you on the terrace,” Cyrus K. interrupted smoothly. “Come, come, you fellows, this is all very well, but there is no good to be gained by

quarrelling. Let’s get at those sketches.” “What he says about the police may be true in some cases," Ingles persisted belligerently, “but not in all.” “Well . . . I'll concede you that," said Vane, “but by the same token what you say about artists may be true in some cases, not all.” “Let me ask just one straight question, Mr. Mantel,” said Ingles, “before you start on the pictures. “Go ahead ... by all means . . . ask away I” “If that body isn't the body of your wife. Isobel, then whose body —or whose wife—is it?" “I haven't the slightest idea.” Vane shrugged helplessly. "I've told you before that I never saw her before and that I don’t know who she is. All I want, is that you find out what has happened to Isobel.” “I’ve told you before. Lawrence,” said Ingtes steadily. “That the body of Isobel is at the morgue." “And I’ve told you before that that isn’t Isobel—and I demand that you find her." “There's only one way to settle this argument,” said Cyrus K., “and the sketches will help a lot.” “Come . . . let's look at them." “I can’t see where pictures are foing to help a lot. Inspector nglea protested. "After all we have the body itself. What more convincing evidence could there be?” “So?" Cyrus K. removed his glasses and slowly stroked one eyebrow. “So? The discovery of the body alone seems sufficient to you ... do I understand you correctly. Inspector?" “Yes, you do," said Ingles. “After all what more can you want than that?" he laughed shortly. “That is generally the one thing any criminal tries to do away with. “Yes . . .’’ Cyrus K. nodded. "1 will grant you that in a case of murder a body is essential to the proving of the crime. But ... in this case, my dear fellow, I main, tain that the body is not enough. No . . not enough “

failure to make progress, were seeking to start needy earning wages Instead of receiving outright monthly grants by the end of this month. They said allocation of the monj t:y would be expedited, and that many government agencies slated to receive money would he able to get their project* underway within 115 days. The navy, war ajul agriculture departments already have planned to repair dorks and forts and start • forest and soil preservation work.

“Well, what trow do you want . r may I ask?" Ingles was exasper- , i ated, and showed It i “Mora than • body?” smiled 1 i Mantel. 1 t “Yes ~ , more than a body," ’ ; Ingles mimicked. I “A head,” said Cyrus K. I Those two little words hung In • the air of the quiet studio, so still l it was. The crackling sound of a i match as the Inspector lighted his ■ pipe relieved the tense atmosphere. He looked up at Mantel over the ! flare of the light “Your point is well taken," he , said quietly. “Certainly w« have the . body ... and equally certainly that 1 body has lost its head.” 1 ___ _ ' t

“Many a woman has lost her head before this for a man,” said Mantel, “but when a dead woman loses hers, the question developa, what man did she lose it for ... , and did ehe lose it before, or aftec death?" < "Maybe both," said Ingles. ( “Perhaps . . ." Cyrus K. conceded, “quite likely, in fact!” Suddenly he looked directly at the Inspector and his black eyes lost their twinkle. They were keen and piercing. “That’s something I’d like to i talk to you about, Inspector," h« said. He bowed formally. “May I sum up the case as I see it?” Ingles nodded, looked worried 1 and took a deep draw at his pipe. “You come up here on a call from your own officer (who is an the premises) and you find Mr. Vane here, drugged in his studio .. . and ’ you find furthermore the naked, headless body of a woman on his terrace. Am 1 right?” “Quite. Go on." 1 _ “You know that he is newly mar- , ried, and you naturally search for his wife . , , ehe is gone . . he goes into hysterics, and claims that he does not know where she is .. . you 1 take him to the Tombs, charged with the murder of his wife,. . and the headless body of the woman is • taken to the morgue ... am I i right?” “Quite. Go on." • “You, the officer* the law, claim that this body ia the body of 1 • Isobel Vane who is mysteriously missing; her husband, charged with , her murder, denies that this is the Tact, and still maintains that he does not know whose body it ia, and begs you to find his wife for , him. You take this as bluff and . till are sure that the body you have is that of the missing wife. Am I right?" “Quite. Go on." , “May I ask, Inspector Inglea, , what makes you so sure?” I (To Be Continued) CocnWit. mi tr Th, Manilla; ca. Dlatrlbutad bf Ktn| raalaraa liatflcata. In*
