Meanwhile the police are following the ease carefully and have found letters written to Sandy by Ramon. Douglas learns that Ids newspaper office has ill its possession audiotcaraph of Sandy. GO ON WITH THE STORY CMAI’TKR XCIX A pair of eyes shaded with very long lashes and straight, fine black brows that curved slightly and un....just the eyes and a portion of the nose looking up from an enlarged photograph. A snapshot of these eyes had been expectedly upward at the temples found in a tiny gold frame, locked away in Ramon's desk. AVith it was a paragraph clipped from a letter written by a woman. Douglas knew it for Sandy's writing... .and cringed seeing a fellow ho despised picking up the message and grinning as he read: ‘‘Vou have taught me the beauty there might he in life. Ramon, and how fine and tender great love like yours can be. 'You've given me a thing sweeter and better than I've ever known, i don’t regret now and I'm never going to regret what I've been to you.” * * * The Mystery "Woman's eyes and the Mystery Woman's letter... .The photograph and a reproduction of the praragraph were to appear in the morning paper. Newton had an exclusive story of this find. Ho was exultant. “Where's the rest of her face?” Douglas now asked, staring at the line of freckles running across the bridge of the nose and lightly under the eyes... .for him a clear identification. He'd seen the snapshots taken in the islands and recognized now these old freckles —never saw any other marked in such a piquant way. “These might be any one's eyes.” "Yes, hut it makes a good feature. Some woman killed Worth. May just as well be her.” Douglas laid the picture down carelessly, lit a cigarette with painstaking slowness. “Not much evidence to prove a woman was there. What have they got besides n few beads?” Newton was charmed to have a fresh audience. Kveryone else in the office had heard his version two or three times. He now shrugged, assumed a non-committal air. “They've plenty. Remember, before Monday night, no one was in that office for a year. The person whose blood was in that corner, crept to the door. There are finger prints along the linoleum and against the panel as though that person reached up two or throe times struggling to turn the knob. "The finger prints are extremely slender—those "fa woman with a small, delicate hand. "So a woman was in the office that night, and she appears to have been shot. “The police say she went there to get Worth. They had a scuffle over the pistol. That’s when she got wounded —• perhaps not serlousely. She came back and got him. It's a clear case of murder. Tnat pistol couldn’t possibly have dropped from the hand of a dead man. Once let them get her and they can put it on her cold." * * Newton pulled a slouchy hat over his bright, snappy eyes. He was a fellow about 40 with a rakish, young look and the jaunty air of a boy. "Thought you were in Dos Angeles. Heard you were going to winter there.” “No —changed my mind.” "Pretty soft, Keith. I wish I had talent! I’d like to pick my own hours and my own geography, and my own salary.” “Then you wouldn't he working on this pip of a yarn." "Say, it is good, isn't it? Rest story in a month of, Sundays. Lots of class to Worth and if the rest of the girl's face matches her eyes, I'd like a chance at a bullet myself.” “Reen in Worth's room, Newt?” "Sure have. Looked like a cyclone when we first got there. Everything flung hither and yon. Tie must have been In a regular Werther despondence.’ "Odd he didn't leave any other letters." "Oh. he was a pretty cagey guy. Quite a boy with the ladies seeing he had a cottage in Carmel and a

studio here. He seems to have played the class, so naturally he wasn't leaving little mementoes about to get him into a pinch. “At that the police have more than they're giving out. I. think they-ve got a line on the -man. Once they get him they can easily find her. They say she did it. He just got there in time to carry her off.” * * A line on the man! Once they get him, they’ve got her! Douglas took long pulls at his cigaret, wondered if he dared trust his voice. “But why should the girl kill him. Newt? Isn't is more likely ho did it since ho was the despondent on 3?” “That sounds all right, but the location of the bullet, of Ids body, the blood stains and the pistol all point | the other way. The suicide theory ■ doesn’t hold at all —" The mind of Douglas Keith felt hot and red like a stove with live coals blazing. Had Sandy shot Raj rnon? She had gone to him. He | could never understand that unless i she had become suddenly Uespcrau- | because of him. She had suggested going to Ramon as a good way "out for everyone.” ; Could it be that in a quarrel she really had fired the shot? She spoke about his showing her the pistol. She tried to seize it. Perhaps slip had gotten hold of it. Had actually —perhaps without realizing it - pulled the trigger. So she was responsible for Ramon's death. She had no recollection of Ramon shooting himself. She didn't remember Ramon falling .. . * * * Douglas now listened in a still terror to Newton's account tHo true account it might be ... "They figure Worth wouldn't give her up. He had the goods on iter and threatened to expose her to the other man. This otiter man may have been her. husband. At least he was her lover and she wanted him, not Worth. She got frightened and went down to Worth’s office to plead or threaten. Ho was so daft about her he probably made some advance—tried to renew old acquaintance. She got excited and pulled the gun. They scuffled for this. It went off giving her a slight wound, but she fired again ami got hint. “If it wasn't for the man, she’d get away with it ." “How will the man give her away?" “No one saw the girl go into that office and no one saw her leave. There'll he no way to trace her except through those finger prints and you’d have to get her first before you could sec if they were hers. • * * "Rut three people saw the man: Rooney, in tHo cigar store: Jacks, the elevator operator, and the janit less on the third floor. Jack says he could pick him out of a thou sand. He’ll run into him yet.... there'll he a slip somewhere —either they’ll trace that handkerchief or they’ll find some clew in Worth’s quarters. Once they nab him—they’ve got her. You see she was wounded so lie can't lmve taken her very far. They're probably right here in town keeping to cover. "But they'll do something to arouse suspicion. Always happens. And it's astonishing the number of cranks on the lookout in a ease like this. Woman telephones the police today that a man, answering the desciiption of the mysterious ’K' has a woman in hiding in the top fiat across the street from her—” “Do they pay any attention to those calls?” "Do theyi In half an hour a plain clothes man has the layout sized up—” Douglas went out of the building, his thoughts reeling. Throe people were on tlm lookout for him. If lie were caught, the crime of murder would he fastened on Sandy— In some way sho might he guilty. They would find her by finding him—- " Rut they can't get me How can they got me?" He had a reckless notion to go over to the cigar store and talk to Rooney—buy some cigarettes—find out if Rooney really could identify him. There was only that handkerchief. Might take months to run that down. Nothing definite had been found in Ramon's room—nothing that led to Sandy—nothing that would ever lead to him. . He squared his shoulders, swung along, one hand in his pocket. At Market, and O'Farrell newsboys were calling an extra. He stopped nonchalantly, bought it. read the headline, went over to a candy store and stared at tho chocolates. He was afraid to turn his head. The headline said: "Net closing on man, woman in mystery death.” (To Be Continued)

DRIVERS URGED TO SIGNAL ENGINEERS

"Nerves," developed by engineers and niotormen, will soon endanger the lives of thousands of passengers unless motorists become more considerate of tlie rights of travelers using steel xails, according to reports at the office of the Hoosier Motor Club. One engineer writes that he is in constant fear of killing some motorist or his passengers, and asks motorists to give some signal at railroad crossings which will be understood by engineers and motormen to mean that the interurban or train has been seen and that the motorist will slow down or stop to let the vehicle on steel rails pass by. "This is not an unreasonable request," said Todd Stoops, secretarymanager, "and we have asked all our members to give a stop signal at railroad crossings when a train or interurban is approaching. The stop signal required by law for automobiles is the same as the stop signal used by steam and electric railroads, and when this signal is given by a motorist the engineer or motorman may tie sure that his signal has been heard and that the motorist is granting the right-of-way. Likewise, the motorist in the rear will be given warning that the motorist in front is going to stop and he has an opportunity to slow down

and stop, although he may not have heard or seen the approaching danger. Engineers and motormen are driving vehicles of much greater weight than cannot stop as quickly ns the motorist. The motorist is driving a quick and agile vehicle, capable of swerving or stopping with oompartive ease. So. courtesy and safety demands that the motorist should be con sidered of the safety of himself, his passengers and the passengers on the steam and electric lines. “A motorman writes that many times he has had a sinking feeling when he sees a motorist approach his crossings at excessive speed. He has applied the brakes to the discomfort of his passengers and seen the motorist stop within a few feet of the crossing with seeming Indifference. Had the motorman been apprised of the fact that the motorist had heard his warning and seen his car approaching by some signal from the motorist, his nerves would have been better and Ids passengers would not have been shaken up needlessly. “Signals are required by law and by the rules of common courtesy. It is true there is no signal by law compelling a motorist to apprise a

motorman or engineer of the fact j that he is seen, but the law does re- | quire a signal for slowing down or j stopping regardless of the fact that I no other vehicle may be within sight j on the highway. By giving the legal | signal for slowing down or stopping j at a railroad crossing the motorist will also give the motorman or engineer a signal that he is seen and j that the right of way is granted. "Courtesy is a wonderful thing between drivers whether the driver controls a horse, a motor car, interurlan car or a train. No driver is so hard boiled that he wants to be mixed up in a fatal accident and .a series of narrowly averted accidents will eause any driver to become 'high strung. A certain fellowship exits between all drivers and a little courtesy and consideration mixed with the fellowship of driving will elimate many accidents. After the legal signal for stopping Is given, a friendly wave of the hand would not be amiss.” The part of the snail which contains the most nutriment is not eaten j by modern epicures, according to j the French.
