SYNOPSIS Karen Sire, lovely daughter of the wealthy Maurice Sire, is suspected of murder when her new Filipino servant is stabbed in the back and thrown out of the window of Sires’ exclusive Park Avenue apartment. Dick Bannister, young geologist. witnessed the man's plunge from the street. He is greatly attracted to Karen and cannot conceive of her committing the crime. A valuable clasp and girdle are missing from a rare leopard skin robe belonging to Sire which had followed the Filipino in his descent. At the Sire apartment where the inquiry ia buing held. Captain ' Boyle leaves Detective "OneArmed” Tooie in charge and goes out. Dick finds a stiletto in the aquarium and slips it into his pocket, unnoticed by Toole, Boyle returns and orders Karen searched. The latter slips her hand into Dick's pocket and relieves him of the dagger, dropping it into Toole’s pocket instead. Finding nothing on the girl, Boyle again leaves. Toole then reveals that he knew all about the finding of the stiletto and Karen's planting it on him. He refrained from reporting it because he believes her innocent and, besides, he has an old score to settle with Boyle. ' One-Armed” explains that, a year ago, he was on the trail of a pair of crooks, Big Jeff Whipple and his sweetheart, Brenda, vowing to lose an arm before he’d let them escape him. They did, and thereafter Boyle called him “One-Armed" Toole. The detective connects the socalled “Whipple Syndicate” with the present claiming they were after the clasp and girdle. Toole drops the stiletto back into the aquarium. He believes Brenda will try to get it that afternoon. Maurice Sire arrives with a woman who introduces herself as “Helen Calvert,” newspaper reporter. Toole recognizes her as Brenda and sets a trap for her, but she becomes suspicious and leaves without trying to retrieve the stiletto. Later, Brenda telephones Karen. A helpless, stricken look comes into the latter’s eyes. “What did she say?” asks Dick. "Yqu’ll never know from me,” the girl replies. And then she dismisses him, but Mr. Sire asks Dick to return that night with his brother. Hod, a friend of the millionaire. Just as Dick is.about to go, the butler informs Sire that his Southampton home has been robbed of some old family documents. Sire’s calm comment makes reference to “Oriental relatives.” “You don’t mean ‘Philippine’?” Boyle asks slyly, stalking out to follow that lead. Then Whipple telephones Sire. Dick, bewildered, goes to his brother’s cnartment where he relates the happenings to Toole. It is the detective’s theory that the murdered man was not a servant but someone of importance. CHAPTER XI Whatever Geoffrey Whipple told Maurice Sire over the telephone, it left no shadow over the latter’s smiling urbanity. Nor did Matt Boyle’s suspicions concerning the true identity of the “Filipino.” When Karen entered the room a few minutes after Bannister left it, her father noticed her agitation. Without a word she handed Brenda’s note to him. Sire read the scrawl carelessly i and put it in his pocket. “Well, I what did she say over the telephone?” he asked lightly. “She said,” Karen began slowly, “that you are of Tartar ancestry. She wanted to know how it felt to be a little Chink—meaning me. She said that blood would tell and asked me what kind of an affair I was carrying on with the Filipino that made it necessary for me to kill him.” “Blackmail,” said Sire simply. “That or a desperate attempt to silence me in any charge I might make against this woman. The man whose name she bears—illegally, I’m told—had me on the phone a ; few minutes ago and advised her arrest. He said that she had been I consorting here with an Asiatic prince of some kind. According to ' Whipple the fellow has a fantastic scheme which made the possession 1 of the robe and girdle necessary to j him.” “Is what ahe said of your being j of Tartar ancestry true?” Her father shook his head slow-ly. “There is a grain of truth in it,” he admitted, "it that can be said of a relationship dating back to the dark ages. My grandfather used to boast

of descent from a Tartar king. The snow leopard robe, with its Jewelled clasp and girdle, was old in the family, even in his time. He had treasured certain qua *nt bits of writing bearing out his ciaim. That was the stuff stolen from the Southampton place." Karen looked relieved. “If the relationship is so remote as that, she said, "what, does this woman hope to gain by a threat of exposure?” “My dear, the fact that I have made a secret of this absurd claim works to the benefit of the blackmailer. The story would be something new and it wouldn’t reach the public in the innocuous form justified by the facts. The present moment is an awkward one to reveal it” ... "It would be brought right down to date?” "By the blackmailer, yes. A Ger-

"She said,” Karen began slowly, * man philosopher once remarked that ‘out of every slander, no matter how unfounded, there passes into the veins of society a drop of poison.’ Karen reflected. She had been immensely relieved at her father’s first explanation, but now the sinister aspect of it all rose like a frightful spectre. “ ‘Out of every slander,’ ” she repeated slowly, “ ‘no matter how unfounded, there passes into the veins of society a drop of poison.’ ” "Karen,” remonstrated her father, “you are not taking this insane stuff too seriously, I hope?” “No more than you do yourself, Daddy,” she answered. She felt her father's soothing hand upon her head. "What do you intend to do?” she asked. “I will play the Tartar,” he answered grimly. “I cannot yield. It would be conniving at dishonor—at murder.” Again the shadowy figure of Bannister rose before her. It seemed to be receding now; she saw a smile of contempt upon his lips as he ( picked up his and whistled for his dog. In their hit-and-miss chatter at luncheon he had spoken of the hapless position of mixed breeds in the Orient—the males spurned by both whites and yellows, the females a prey to both. "Poor toys of Fate,” she had called them, “without hope of any fixed place in an orderly world.” And now, "I will play the Tartar,” her father had said. Well, she would play the Tartar’s daughter! "Would you he ashamed if I should call myself a princess of Tartary?” she asked gaily. “Suppose I should go back to the land of your fathers—our fathers—and claim an abandoned throne.” “You would be made welcome,” he answered gravely. “Seriously ?” She had dropped her light tone and was gazing into his eyes with an intensity that startled him. ‘‘Karen!” her father exclaimed. “You have set me to dreamingagain —dreaming of the unchangeable

"Because, shewhi*pe He pickesi up the pendant word. “Because at that tomb he found a guard of honor, native priests whe had stood in relays through the centuries. The East does not change, nor does it forget.” “Do you know just where your greatest of grandfathers reigned. Do the native priests still hold vigil there?

I never meant to give you an impression of its reality.” "But you often made me wear the leopard robe and I remember how you’d close your eyes a little and look at me. Were you really thinking of me as a princess?” He patted her hand. “Perhaps I was,” he admitted. “Fond old daddies often think of such things, but what they call horse sense prevents them from talking. For years I had agents in the territory, mostly on industrial missions. Whipple was one of these. Other phases of the situation have been watched and developed for me by a scholarly monk—Abbe Bergcre. He's really the only person alive, so far as I know, who is familiar with the full contents of the old parchments stolen from me today. In fact, he had translated most of them into French.” “Did Geoffrey Whipple know him?” Karen asked. “Mr. Toole, the detective, is sure that a Whipple Syndicate is behind this plot.” “ ‘One-Armed’ Toole!” her father laughed. “Captain Boyle told me about him—hair-brained sort of chap, I understand—expelled from the police flying school for stunting —a nut at taking chances. But I admit that Whipple did know Abbe Bergere. The trouble was that the Abbe knew him better—that’s why I dropped Whipple. But I can’t conceive of the fellow as a killer. He’s a bland, good natured chap—a clever stock promoter and salesman —and a great favorite with the ladies. This woman Brenda was a recent conquest.” Sire glanced over his daughter’s shoulder and saw Myers. “Captain Boyle has returned,” the butler announced. Karen was reluctantly dispossessed from her father’s knee. He signaled Meyers to admit Boyle. (To Be Continued) ConrHzht. 1»35. Chrli Hiwthome butrlbuted bj Kta( rntnm S>ndlr«t», Ine.
