CHAPTER XVIII “So?”®Cyrus K. pursed his lips and nodded his head slowly. “So! Well now, I’d call this rather a full day, wouldn’t yod?” •“I don't see where we’re going to get,” Ingles complained. “Everything just seems to contradict the last fact we found out.” “What fact have we found out?” asked Cyrus K. innocently. “Well, the identification of the body is a fact. You’ll have to admit that.” “Yes. The identification is a fact.” Lawrence Vane glanced up quickly from his brooding silence, as he noticed the odd phrasing that Mantel had used. As his eyes fastened on the gentie yet powerful features of Cyrus K., the little detective looked him squarely in the eyes, and suddenly illuminated his whole face with one of his rare and charming smiles. “Ingles,” he turned to the Inspector. “I wonder if you could leave me alone for a while with Vane— I’m sure you have much to attend to at headquarters —and I have much to attend to here. I wiil keep closely in touch with you, and let you know any development that I think you should know. But,” he smiled at Ingles to soften his words, “I think this is the parting of the ways—this is where ‘you take the high road and I’ll take the low road.’ You have your duty to do to your oath, and I have my duty to do to your friend.” , . ~ ... Ingles stood up and held out his hand to Vane. “I’m sorry, Lawrence,” he said. “Sorry about it all—l know you’re guilty—but I hope to God that he gets you out of it.” He turned to Mantel and shook his hand in a grip that would have made a weakling wince. “Good luck to you,” he said simply. “If there is anything I can ! do—anything I can do—let me . know. You know 111 do it. ' He turned on his heel and walked ° U “There goes a fine man,” Cyras K. looked after him. “I’m sorry for him It’s a terrible thing to be both a police officer—and a good friend —sometimes.” . Lawrence Vane slumped in his Ch “l-m in a daze,” he said, and ' rubbed his hand across his eyes. 1 don’t know yet exactly what it is all Bb “That’s what I’m here to try and find out,” said Mantel briskly. He drew up a chair close to the younger man. “Now Mr. Vane, I want to ask you a few questions—and some of them are pretty sure to hurt. “Go ahead,” said Vane. I don t think I can be hurt any more—l think I’ve lost the power to feel. ■ “Had you heard— recently—anytkiniz -ibout your wife’s manner of married you?” Cyrus K went straight to the point. “Yes... I had .. . horrible things. I trfe 1 not to believe them— Why, mantel ” he iaio one hand on Mantel’s knee “I couldn’t believe that anyone as beautiful as Iwbel coSid be,. . . as rot ten as they said ib “But did you come to believe it at '"“Yes.” Vane’s head dropped “When?” ,„ “The night she disappeared. “You mean the night she was right., Have it that way if r °“when von finally came to believe . o things .. • about her, how did you ’feel?” Mantel tried to be ge “l'was sorry for her,” said Vane •ininlv “I felt that she had been mTre sinned against than sinning. She was left alone when she was so tiny-she never had a chance in life. I felt that I could pu l her out of all ! h is wrong way of living that. cirhad forced her into. CU “i seS/’ CySus K. was quiet. “So vou didn’t hate her?” y °“Mato her?” Vane repeated sadly. «Ko I loved her for the woman might have been—the woman £he sti§ might be. And I pitied , her.”

“Did you still love her, Mr. Vane?” Cyrus K. insisted quietly. “Love her?” Vane spoke as though weighing the little four letter word. “Love? That’s hard to say, Mr. Mantel. I loved the ideal of womanhood I had always loved. I had thought that she represented it. I found out that was not so. That was not her fault—many a person has made a mistake before, ■ in placing the garment of an ideal < upon a human form; and many an- ■ other has suffered when discovering I the idol had feet of clay. But that i is not the fault of the idol. So I i lover her . . yes -. . but with a i pitying love, a saving love, where 1 before there had been passion.” | “Mr. Vane,” Cyrus K. spoke gently. “We are alone here. You I must believe that I am your friend ' —that I want to help you. Tell me, 1 do you still maintain that the body i found on your roof is not that of I your wife, Isobel?” • “I do,” said Vane. “That is not : the body of my wife!” < “Then whose body is it?” snapped Cyrus K. “I don’t know,” Vano was dogged, i “Mr. Vane,” Mantel’s voice had resumed its usual easy tone. “You < are an artist. Tell me, is it possible for a person, a layman, to recognize a body—without the head —unless , that body has some particular marks upon it that have been noted before?” “An artist would remember, more definitely than a layman, certain , lines or curves that he had painted , many times,” said Vane. “But 1 doubt if he could tell to which model they belonged.” Mantel was surprised. “Do you think, then, that a layman could recognize a nude body, without its head, more quickly than an artist could?” „ “No. I don’t mean that exactly, Vane replied. “I think the whole thing rests upon the degree of intimacy that existed between the owner of the body and the one who is to identify it. I mean —if a man, layman or artist, had loved a woman, he would be much more likely to recognize her headless b °He shuddered as he said the last words. , . . ... “Why, I should have thought that an artist would be able to tell exactly whose a body was, if, of course, he had painted from it in the nude. “No . . . that is wrong,” Vane told him. “You see, Mr. Mantel, an artist is concentrated upon his work. He looks upon the model as just a , means to an end,'just so many > proper curves and lines and ilesh tones. He may use one portion of ; one model, and one of another. “Did you paint much from the nude, Mr. Vane?” “Not often. Just studies, because ■ the human body interests me. But, i as you know, heads are my specialty.” X „ J Cyrus K. looked up startled. “Ah, yes,” be said. “Heads! . . . ’ Mr. Vane, I’d like very much to . look at some of your sketches—l i feel that I may find something that I will help us in them.” “Certainly.” Vane reached for the huge sketch books “But they’re only studies, you know—just fragments of bodies, and here and there a completed whole.” “Splendid,” said Cyrus K.

Neb.— (U.R) — A 30i foot oak tree fell on Robert Cook’s head and fractured his hip. Cook, who is 78 years old, was chopping the tree when it crashed, striking him on the head. An examination at the hospital disclosed a slight ■ bump and bruise on his head and a fractured hip, probably sustained when lie twisted in an attempt to avoid tho tree. o Holiday Skunk Spokane, Wash. —(U.R)—Students at Lewis & Clark high school did - little studying for several days, ass ter a skunk apparently tangled • with one of the ventilators and , made bis presence known over the - building’s up-to-date ventilating - system.

her uncle Cyrus K. Mantel, wnom she had first gotten into the case for Vane, now very deliberately ignored her. In fact, he seemed to have taken the tack that she was an enemy of his client, that her newspaper work came first, her human feelings as a woman, last. A rift had come between the two —Cyrus K. and Betty—these two who were so alike that they always quarrelled automatically, and yet who loved each other deeply and harbored each for each a shy and unspoken admiration. Now, this seemed to have changed, and Betty spoke to Cyrus K. but little, and he told her scarcely anything of his progress in the case. Disconsolately, she dressed for the street on a foggy, chill dny in December. The Christmas spirit had not yet made itself felt, and she wondered if anyone could have the heart to celebrate this year, when such horror hovered just outside the door of so many of their own intimate group. “Suky,” she called listlessly. “Come in here. I want you to fasten this frock.” '‘Cornin’ Miss Betty, honey," came Suky’s throaty voice, to be followed immediately by her smiling black presence. “What’s de matter, honey?” she said sooth- : ingly. “You all in a tempah dis I mo-nin? ’Deed chile, you all mustn’t to let de day make you blue. Heaps of times when de day is blue de sperrits can be bright—a bright day’s a good time for Ole Man Debbil to get in his work—but he don’t get around so much on a dark day, ’cause folks might be expeetin him.” "Oh! Suky!" Betty cried. “You and your ‘sperrits’ and your ‘Ole Man Debbil’—you make me tired! We’ve got enough trouble without | your starting to shout your voodoa stuff all over the house." “Well, Miss Betty, honey," Suky nodded her gray wool wisely, “You all knows dat old Suky knows a thing or two about Old Man Debbil - and . . .” she suddenly looked up into Betty’s eyes keenly, “and some other gentlemen,” she finished quietly. “What do you mean by that?" Betty swung round on her, so that the frock Suky was holding pulled out of her hands. “Sho! honey, what could 1 mean?” Suky grinned. “I was jes’ atalkin’—you know how us old women likes to shout wif our mouths. That’s all, honey. That’s all. Turn around now, lemme fasten this heah frock.” ‘Well,” snapped Betty, "you make me nervous with all your talk, and all the mysterious ways you’ve suddenly developed. I declare—l do believe you’ve even taken to using ths telephone lately, and that’s a miracle, because you used to be so scared of it that you hated to take a message for me from one of my beaux.” I “Well now, honey,” chuckled Suky, “that depended on which all beau it were callin’.” “Why you old reprobate you!” Betty laughed in spite of herself. She shook herself into the frock and smoothed it down over the hips, turned to get a better sight of her- > self in the full-length mirror, and met Suky’s eyes in the glass. “What are you looking like that ’ for?” she demanded. “I wasn’t lookin’ ax you, honey,” I Suky said. “I was lookin’ in the lookin’ glass at someone else.” “Are you crazy?” Betty cried. “What on earth do you mean, ‘some- , one else’?” , ‘Jes’ that, Miss Betty, jes’ that." Suky’s voice took on a different tone —gradually it became almost a , chant. She no longer looked at or spoke directly to Betty, but her i ' gaze was fixed steadily upon the i i mirror. "I sees a man," she chanted. "Am , he stands there behind you, Mis* ‘ Betty, honey, and his hands dey is , lifted—but old Suky won’t let him ■ ■ hurt you, .honey chile—old Suky i knows, and she’s heah, she’s heahl” < (To Be Continued) Copjrtfht.
