Despite her graying hair, she had a young, wistful look. Sho loved It when her son caught her shoulders, grinned down with a teasing, “Gee, you’re a cutts little trick, ain’t you, Em?” Whole hours became golden; she went about blushing for a little thing liko that. Sometimes he phoned from town and ordered: “No dishes tonight, Em! Como down. I’ll blow you to a dinner and a show.” Then Emma took out a pair of clean, white gloves. She wore her smart silk with the brown caracul jacquette ho bought her. And the whole neighborhood knew from the way a corner of the lace handker- j chief stuck out from her envelope purse andaber proud step that Emma was going to meet her son. She Imagined all the young girls j in the world In lovo with him. She | trembled when he pulled out the chair for her, standing so gallantly i till she was seated. Then she glanced about, her expression announcing | triumphantly: "I’m Ills mother!’’ * * She now took his toast and put It j in the oven, warmed up the coffee, j 11a liked it teaming’hot. But he came in excitedly. "Don’t j luind ■ bul that. Em. I was fin- j Ished.” Me closed the door softly, c.anie over to the stove where she j Was standing. “Know that case the papers have | been playing? Fellow named Worth j who was found dead in his office?” I “Why, of course. I see where they | have new clews. Strange, Isn't it?” ; “Yon —and the police think the j newspaper fellows know something j h-y’re nto telling. They’re calling ''nil up to he questioned. For i : . u.g down now to see what’s what.” i “Why, you didn't even know him, did you?” “NO. T didn’t know him from Adam. 'But listen, Em, If any one blows around here and asks you where I was last Monday night, say I was homo all the time from dinner at 6 o’clock. Stick to that, Em, will you? And If they ask about girls I know. Just say I played so many you never could remember the names.” Ills mother's face grew white. "Wouldn't It he much better to tell the jruth? Why shouldn’t you say you were working—then it got too late to come home.” “No. Say I was home and stick to it. Not scared, Em? I’ll tell you later why you're to say this.” * • • The two detectives were extremely pleasant. “We knew you wouldn’t mind coming down, Keith. Understand you have some information.” They led Douglas into a big square with a long table in the center and roller top desks in each of the four corners. A thin, bleak looking fellow whom he knew by sight motioned him to a chair at the big table. Douglas sat down. He wished he had stopped to get a drink. His throat burned. The thin man, whose name, oddly enough, was Meager, began afTably: “We thought you could help us out, Mr. Keith, on this Worth case, I’m told you were acquainted with him.” “That's a mistake,” said Douglas, overhastlly. “I never met him.” "Oh, had you never visited his flat or his office?” "No I never had.” “But you’d heard of him, hadn’t you? You had some mutual friends?” “No. I don't remember hearing of him." “Didn't you know he belonged to a firm of accountants and that he had a private office in this Market street building?” “No; I didn’t know It."

"You never had occasion to meet him either in a business or a personal way?” "I never met him in any way whatsoever.” "Is It possible that you might have had some dealing with him, directly or Indirectly, that has slipped you mind?” “I greatly doubt It." “I see ... You're positive you never met Ramon Worth and you never heard of Well, will you look at these pictures? Do you recognize any of them?" They were pictures of Ramon on a surf board; In tennis flannels; lr swimming suit. Douglas recognized them only, because he had scon thorn in an album of Sandy's. ".Look at them carefully, If you please.” He went through them again, little guessing the trap they were springing. “No —I don’t recognize them!” Meager massaged the red Joints of his long, bony fingers. “Well, I guess you never saw him, then. I wonder, Mr. Keith, if you may have chanced to meet the woman who was Worth's friend? Do you recall having been out with a girl who may have mentioned his name, or who may have bowed to him while In your company and mentioned her Intimacy with him?” “Why should you persist In these questions, Mr. Meager? I’ve told you as emphatically as I know how that I never met Worth. I'm not aware of having the remotest acquaintance with him In any conceivable way." "We have, of course, adequate reason, Mr. Keith. The coincidence is odd, extremely odd.” Douglas flushed. He noticed his hands shaking and folded them pug- j naciously under his arms. What j adequate reasons could they have?j What odd coincidence? Were there j letters giving Sandy’s name and his i name? Had he been traced and identified as the fellow who carried a girl from Ramon’s office? He tried to restrain the instinct to swallow —relive his parched, trifling throat, lie was suddenly conscious of a fajse, high note in his voice. “What reason have you that can alter facts? I don't know him, and ' that’s all there Is to It-" i "Yes —the odd thing Is that he' knew you. In the last hour or two i of his life you were In his thoughts. [ He scribbled ;wi.ur name hundreds of times. The tracing of It Is in the blotter found In his desk. Os course, j no suspicions attaches ro this. We thought you probably knew him and j would shed light on a baffling ease, j Can you account for his frenzied; writing of your name?" “No—l cannot! He may have j seen it under a drawing and picked | it out Idly. He never met me so far j as I knew. I never met him.” The detctlve nodded slowly, all the while rubbing his knuckles: "I see. Os course, you understand, wo wanted to clear up this angla. Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Keith.” * • • In a sudden rush of his overcharged emotion, Douglas put out his hand, gave a deep, uncertain laugh: “Too bad I couldn’t help you —better luck next time!” He rose unsteadily. He went out quickly—blinking, rubbing his teeth over his lower Up. Out of it! Ye gods, out of it! He went, half running down the steps. He wanted to grab someone by the hand, laugh uproariously. The sun swept the old plaza; made the grass seem new and clean. He cut across the park, hands dug In his pockets. The lurjri Wild, un-heard-of luck! Saturday morning he’d drive down and tell Judith-.-tell Sandy—make them riotously happy. He got in his car—swinging down the highway—road clear—no one in sight. Gradually he became aware of a machine behind him—close behind. Ho was nervous and slowed down. Let it pass him. As soon as It was ahfAd of him he began creeping. He distinctly noticed the other machine slowing. He put on all speed and went dashing furiously—kept this up for fifteen minutes. He turned. The machine was within 200 feet of him. Shndowed—they were shadowing him. He wondered with a sickened pang what they knew, what they suspected. lie turned off at Daly City, retracing his way. He thought, his hands shaking on the wheel: “God —this takes it out. of a fellow! God—l'll be glad to get out of this!” • • * The evening papers and the Sunday morning papers had nothing

His cheeks were red and covered with blisters, and the itching was so annoying that he could not sleep. After reading your ad in the pa- | per’l purchased a jar of Resinol j Ointment and a cake of Eesinoi | Soap. Only a few j applications stopped 1 the itching- entirely | and within a week the redness was gono | and his skin prac- ! tically clear.

hero a moment, Mr. Keith, I'll find a quieter place.” <He stood there some ten minutes. Then Meager stepped noiselessly to his side: “Will you come with me, Mr. Keith?” Ho didn’t ask Douglas to be seated. He led him into this small room. He turned on him abruptly: “Did I you to say you had never been in Ramon Worth’s office?” “You did.” “Do you know where this' office was?” "I read of it In the newspaper.” “It was in the third floor of the building. You know this building?” # “Yes.” "I want to make sure you know this office. Let's go over now and have a look at lt.“ • * • He was trapped. He knew it. He said angrily: "Aren’t you rather high handed, Mrs. Meager?” “Probably not! I hope you won’t object to coming. Mr. Keith.” “Why should I?” But he clenched his teeth to keep from chattering. Ho got Into the officer’s machine, sitting furiously upright. He pulled his hat fightingly over his eyes. They went up in the eleveator. He could scarcely keep his feet from shuffling. . * Meager stood a moment outside of Ramon’s door. He looked squarely at Douglas. He said qunietly: “Did
