WHOSE WIFE ? _ L—-— by GLADYS SHAW ERSKINE and IVAN FIRTH -J|

CHAPTER XXI Cyrus K. Mantel and I.aw-rence Vane bent together over the bij; sketchbooks, which Cyrus K. haci had expressed a desire to see. “These are of Isobel, my wife,” said Vane, indicating two very attractive studies, semi-draped. “I did these of her quite a while ago. You know she was my model before we were married.” He seemed a little embarrassed as he spoke. “You had many other models?” Cyrus K. was casual. “Oh! yes, quite a number. You know portraiture is my specialty, but I have done a number of murals. In fact, I got a large contract for murals for a new library out West —I had already started some of the sketches.”

He shuffled through the portfolio, and drew forth several interesting, rough sketches, all in the nude, and most of the feminine figures in some graceful posture of the dance. They looked like the beginnings of what would later develop into a painting that might be titled “Spring.” “Did your wife pose for any of these?” Cyrus K. asked. “No, none of them. She was best in still, languorous poses.” Cyrus K. looked up keenly. “Did your wife object to any of your other models?” he asked. "Yes. She did.” Vane leaned back in his chair, and looked Cyrus K. in the eyes for a long moment, and then seemed to come to a decision. “Mr. Mantel,” he said seriously. “This is the first time we have been alone, so that I could really talk to you, since you came down to the Tombs. There are several things that I would like very much to tell you —things that I feel you should know, and that might be of help to you in this awful affair.” Mantel placed the sketches he held carefully back in the folder, turned, and gave his full attention to the young artist. “Yes?” he said. “Then by all means tell me now.” “Some of these things are so terrible to me, that I have never breathed them to a 1 lug soul, since I discovered them myself. I feel that now the time has come for me to forget my own feelings, my own shame, and tell you everything. Mr. Mantel, my wife did not love me.” “So?" said Cyrus K. gently. "When did you first discover this?” “The first week we were married,” Vane’s voice was low but steady. “I also discovered that Isobel had married me for position, and money. She liked the dignity of being a married woman. Then I began to hear things about her past life—l couldn't believe them at first.” “But you came to believe them later?” Cyrus K. asked. “I had to.” “Did this knowledge make you turn against your wife?” “In away, it did, of course. But, you see Mr. Mantel, she had always repulsed my advances, and my infatuation had already begun to fade. So, when I found out all these other things, it was a blow, but I could take it more easily than would have been possible had I felt toward her as I thought I did at first.” “Then you no longer loved your wife?” Cyrus K. persisted. “I wouldn’t say that exactly,” Vane was thoughtful. “I had ceased to desire her, to love her in the way a man loves the woman who is his wife—but I did not hate her. Rather I loved her in the way a guardian might love a precocious child, and the artist in me always loved her beauty, and could not believe that so perfect a thing of beauty could be only an empty shell,” “Was there anything else, that you particularly wanted me to know?” “Yes.” Vane hesitated. “One other thing that I had just found out, and which caused me great distress on Isobel’s own account —a thing that made me watch her carefully all the time, to see that she did no injury to herself—or to another.” Mantel leaned forward tensely. “Yes? What was that?” he prompted. “My wife was a drug addict!” Vane said. “Now we're getting somewhere,” Cyrus K. sounded pleased. “Now we've got more to work on. A drug

addict, eh?” He put his hand on the younger man's knee as he saw him wince. “You must forgive mo,” he begged. “I ain so anxious to help you, that for the moment I forgot the personal side of it, and your distress.” He paused a moment, and as the other said nothing, went on: “Do you know what drug your wife used?” “Cocaine. Either in liquid or powder form—any way she could get it.” “And if she were ever without the drug, how did it affect her?” “She went berserk.” A cloud passed over Vane’s eyes as he recalled scenes in the immediate past. “She was always erratic, but when the need of the drug was on her, she

“She was always erratic, but when the need of the drug was on her, she lost all control.”

lost all control. For the time being she became like a wild thing, or—temporarily insane.” Cyrus K. gently stroked one eyebrow with his pince-nez. He pursed his lips in his own characteristic fashion, when thoughts were rampant within h:s bysy brain. "This is all very helpful, very helpful indeed,” he said. “Mr. Vane, I would like to ask you a few questions as to what happened on the night of the—murder.” “Anything you like, sir.” “Was your wife excited at all that night?” “No.” Obviously Vane was thinking back. "She was more gentle than usual. I remember that I had a headache, and she insisted that we stay at home—that we get our own little supper here.”

“Was that unusual?” “Yes. Very. Usually her one desire was to go out where she could see and be seen.” “I see. Anything else?” “Yes. As I say, she was unusually tender. For the first time since our marriage, she seemed really to have a thought for me. I had a terrible headache, as I had been working all day on murals, and she jven prepared, with her own hands, some sort of a medicine, in warm milk, to take it away.” Suddenly he looked up at Cyrus K. with a startled expression in his eyes. "Why, that must have been it!” he cried. “That's what made me so sleepy. Y'ou know I was sound asleep when Ingles and the others came in here.” “Yes. So I heard.” Mantel’s voice was dry. “Do you often get headaches, Mr. Vane?” “Lord, yes! There was a time when I never seemed to be without

she known? 1 A. Only when the man is intoxli rated, or when he hrts been guity of ,< me offense that justifies toe girl in refusing. If the man has always been courteous and gentlemanly, and she refuses him merely because he is not nn expert dancer, she deserves to be unpopular. i Q. Should there b? bread and butj ter plates on the table at a formal I dinner? ■ ; A- No; as butter is not served at fimhi nable dinners, these plates . are not required. > Q Shoud every bride’s trousseau contain household linens? A. Yew; every bride should have

one, principally when 1 was concentrated on some work that might cause eye-strain.” “Are you accustomed to taking anything for these headaches?” “No. Never. I usually walk them off." “You say you were working on the murals. Did you have a model here?” “Yes. A model 1 have used a great deal before. I wanted to do a series of sketches from her, and then I would work from them on the enlarging for the actual scenes.” “How late did you work?” “The light wasn’t good after four. There was a storm brewing, so I quit about that hour." “Then what happened?” "The model left,” said Vane, "and my wife came in. She had been to

the theatre with some friend, and then she decided that we would stay at home for supper.” "Did you prepare this yourselves, or do you have a maid?” asked Cyrus K. “We do not keep a maid at the studio. There is maid service in the house, and I dislike having people potter about.” “What time did your wife get home, Mr. Vane?” “It must have been about five or so.” “Isn’t that very early to get out of the theatre?” Cyrus K. looked surprised. “I didn’t think of it before.” The expression on Vane’s face matched that of the little detective. “Now that you mention it, it wax early, awfully early.” He shrugged. “But then, she may have been bored with the play. It would be quite like her to leave before the end in that case.” “Mr. Vane—think hard now—can you tell me how long a time elapsed between the leaving of your model, and the arrival of your wife?” “Yes. That’s very easy. It was impressed on my mind because the storm broke just at that moment. I remember thinking that Jannette, my model, would get raught in it, and at that precise minute Isobel came in.” “.Then the model was still in the building at the time your wife arrived heme?” "Oh, yes. One of the elevators was out of order, so that it took quite a while to get either down from, or up to, the penthouse.” (To Be Continued) Cnprrlfht. im. b» Th» MhcMter C».
