“The VANTTY CASE” s fA Tale of Mastery and Love By CAROLYN WELLS

1 „„„ BEGIN HERR TODAY MBS. PRENTISS sres mysterious lights in the Heath household next door One night, and the next day Harbor Gardens. Long Island, is agog with the murder of MYRA HEATH and the disapearanee of her-husband PERRY. _ Mouse guests of the Heaths are LAWRENCE INMAN, heir to Myra's fortune. and BUNNY MOORE, beautiful, vivacious, to whom suspicion points because of her strange actions. Myra Heath never used rouge, never wore colors, yet when her body was found she was heavily rouged. She had a mania for collecting glass, and It was a rare old bottle from her collection that the murderer used tq hill her. Candles were burning at her head and feet: near by was a card marked. “The Work of Perry Heath." The strange thing about Heath's disappearance is that the windows and doors were locked on the inside the night before and we re found that way in the morning. Fingerprints of Bunny Moore and Inman were found on the bottle. At the Country Club thp murder is discussed by SAM ANDERSON. Heath's rival for the club presidency: AI, CUNNINGHAM. who is trying to solve the crime and others. TODHUNTER BUCK, newphew of Mrs. Prentiss and in love with Bunny, believes Heath also may have been murdered. Bunny is amazed to get a phone call from Heath. He calls tier again, saying Inman Is guilty. Bunny faints under a (frilling by DETECTIVE MOTT. Inman confides to Buell that he saw Bunny ascending the stairs after the murder, and Mott questions all the servants and tells them to keep silent. NOW CIO WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER XXX “Now, Carter,” Mott went on, “tell me anything you may know about the relations of your employers. Be frank, for as I forbid you people to repeat this talk, so I can promise you that I shall not repeat it, ex cept to the officers of the law.” “Well, sir, as ladies' msfid to both Mrs. Heath and Miss Moore, of course, I couldn't help seeing how things went on. Mrs. Heath, she was terrribly in love with Mr. Inman. Mr. Heath, he knew it, and they had hot words about it, now and then.” I “Did you hear them?” “In part, sir. Sometimes Mr. Heath would come in while Mrs. Heath was dressing, and he'd bid me go in the next room and shut the :!oor, Thei I'd do so, but if they rnised their voices, as they sometimes did, I couldn’t help hearing that they were quarreling about Mr. Inman, even though I couldn't hear all they said. But I never mentioned it, not even to the others clown here. I know my place, and I’ve been niaid to grand ladles, that had bigger secrets than Mrs. Heath had.” m “She had no big secrets, then?” "Not what I’d call such. She liked Mr. Inman and he adored her, hut they were cousin^—though distant ones—and she had a right to be friendly.” “Did Mr. Heath urge her to. use ropge and that sort of thing?” “They all did that. Yes, he would come to her dressing room and laughingly try to put some on her face. - But she said, 'No,' in that way she had, and he'd stop. Then, Miss Bunny, she was always at her io use color, and Mr. Inman, he was, too. It was sort of a household joke, you see.” "I see. Then, Carter, any one of those three might have applied that paint to her face after the poor lady was dead.” “They might, sir.” "Or you might have done It yourself?” "Why, of course I could do it sir —but I didn't. I was up in my bed, asleep.” “She was,” broke in the cook. “I heard her snoring when I went rown to look after Katie.” "Well, we’re not suspecting you. Carter,” Mott said, "we've no reason to. You surely had no motive and no., opportunity to kill your mistress." “The saints forbid!” said Carter, fervently. “I can tell you something else, sir,” Emma said, not unwilling to take the limelight again. “All right, go ahead, Emma.’’ Mott began to think he was getting some sidelights, If not very crucial statements. “Well ’long about twelve o’clock, I thought I heard Katie cornin’ in. When I have to wait on her cornin’ in, I’m terrible wakeful. ’Most every week she makes me let her in when it’s her night out." “Why do you do it?” “Oh, we all like Katie," Emma gave an affectionate glance at the pretty parlor-maid. “And she’s got her young man, you know, and it’s a pity she would have'to come in at eleven o'clock, and him such a line feller!”' It was clear to be seen that the state of "keeping company” had raised Katie to an eminence where she commanded the favors of the other servants. “And so,” Emma went on, “I stay awake like, to let her in, for Mrs.

Heath gave her an awful dressin’ down once when she caught her cornin’ in late. Then, as 1 was listenin’ for Katie, I heard voices downstairs. I thought the family had all gone to bed, and I was thinkin’ of burglars—” “Yes, you was!" sneered Mrs. Pierce. " You was et up with curiosity, and you was bound to see what you could.” “All right, then," said Emma, assentingly. “Anyway, I pushed open softly the upstairs door to the front hall and I peeked over the banisters. I couldn’t see anybody, but I heard the voices in the stujo and I reckernized Mr. and Mrs. Heath and Mr. Inman. I don’t know whether Miss Bunny was there or not. So, knowing it wasn’t burglars,” she gave a look at Mrs. Pierce, ”1 went back to bed and waited for Katie.” “And that was between 12 and 1?" "Oh, nearer 12. Not more’n quarter past. I know, ’cause I thought it might like as not be a long while before Katie came.” “Well, then, if you are sure of your facts, Emma, we have proof that Mrs. Heath was alive and well at 12:15. You heard her voice, you say?” "Yes, sir. I don't know what she was saying. I only heard her speak, but she was mad, sir. That I could tell. I seemed like Mr. Heath was quarreling with Mr. Inman and Mrs. Heath was upset over it. But I didn't get the words, only their voices.” “I see. Well, all that doesn’t help much, for the doctors say, Mrs. Heath was killed at about. 2 o’clock. Though they can’t tell exactly. Now. Katie, that young man of yours—he was in the arbor with you until half past 1?” “Y—yes. sir.” “Don't be frightened. I'm not dis cussing your affairs at all. Then he saw a mar: leave this house?” “Not the house, the grounds.” “You’ve talked to Jimmy about this since?” “Yes, sir." “Can you tell me just what he paw?” "He says he wasn't noticing special, not thinkin’ about anything but—” "But your sweet self?” “Well, yes, sir. And he just sorta noticed a man goin' sneakin’ like through the shrubbery and out the side gate. He says if he'd been sneakin’ toward the house, he’d ’a’ thought more about it, but as he was goin' away, he gave it no con siderin' and he wou'da forgotten about it, if this awful thing hadn't ’a’ happened.” “I see, very natural. I'm sure. Now, does Jimmy think the man was Mr. Heath?” ‘He sat-s he don't know. It mighta been and it mightn’t. It was like his size, maybe, but Jimmy, he just didn’t take notice, and it was sorta dark, anyhow.” “And then you came right in the house!” “Yes. sir. I was just cornin’ in, when Jimmy saw him.” "He didn't follow him, then?" “Oh, no, sir. Jim, he went out the back gate. The man, he went through the little side gate, the one that leads to the woods.” “Then, of course, that's all you can tell about the man. Now, it seems it must have been Mr. Heath, because Mr. Heath is inexplicably missing. But just as you came in. you saw Miss going upstairs?” "No, sir, It was Emma as saw her.” “Yes. so it was. Well, that looks as if Miss Moore might have let Mr. Heath out, and locked the door behind him. and gone upstairs just as Emma went up the other stairs.” “It might be, sir.” (To Be Continued)

OVERLOAOING OF AUTOS MENACES DRIVERS SAFETY Hoosier Motor Club Official Calls Attention to Situation. With the congested conditions prevalent on the main highways of the nation, the overloading of autos has become not only a nuisance, but also a very serious factor in reducing the margin of safety. This statement was made here today by Todd Stoops, Hoosier Motor Club secretary manager, who called the situation to the attention of local car owners and urged those contemplating trips, particularly camping trips, to exercise caution against overloading their machine. * Reduce Element of Safety “Every one who has made any lengthy trips this season,” he declared, "must have noticed the great number of-cars that were loaded to such an extent that all kinds of odds and ends were hanging loose from their sides, taking up more of the road than they were entitled to

and reducing the element of safety. “It is not so much the load itself as the neglect of many careless motorists who fall to make their car ship-shape -.before they proceed on tour. " Narrow Escape “In one instance I am informed by the national touring board of the American Automobile Association that only recently there was reported the case of a motorist who had a narrow escape from tragedy through contact between his car and an ax that had become loose from an overloaded camping car. “We have no complaint with our members on the score of this negligence, as they are not guilty of if as far as we know. But in the interest of safety and fair play, it is to be hoped that those car owners who Carry much equipment; will see to it that their machin 4 are shipshape before they „ to the trail.”
