Dancing is credited with being a waste of time by most people, but two Wisconsin university students are getting an education via this method. Dave Hilgers and Fred Wilcox, are the names of the young men and as they are pleasant mannered, and good looking and know how to dance well, they advertised that they were available as dance partners and escorts at so much an evening.

SYNOPSIS Jim Bout, alias Carter, an undervorld leader, discovers Mona Gale, a cabaret dancer with whom he is fascinated, in a room with Jack Waring, a wealthy youth, and (n a scuffle between the two men Mona is accidentally shot. Boyd knocks Jack down ana after placing the gun in his hand escapes before the crowd attracted by the shot reaches the room. Be does not know that Jack, the stepson of Philip Waring, wealthy Chicago lawyer, ts his own son, who had been taken away by Hath Boyd twenty years before. Jack’s half-sister, Sylvia, arrives at the cabaret where the killing occurred and learns from Tom Tfardy, a newspaper reporter, with whom she is in love, what has happened. Tom does not know Sylvia's identity, and, believing her story that she is working for another paper, offers to take her to Mona's Qale’s apartment. Sylvia i* speculating as to the possibility of Jack's innocence as they arrive.

What more natural, therefore, that this other man, crazed by Jealousy should come to Mona’s room, and, seeing her, together with Jack, should start a violent argument? The police were working on this last theory, but starting with the assumption that Jack had been the killer. Sylvia realized that there was another man or woman in tha case, but she started with the assumption that Jack had been a mere pawn in the game and guiltless of any wrong. W’ho was the mysterious third person? That Jack should have shot Mona Gale without! another person in the room, was un-think-

able to Sylvia. Tom Hardy had heard Jack say that a man had entered the private room of the Flowerland and knocked him ftroggy with a blow, perhaps two blows. Tom Hardy had repeated to Sylvia what Jack had said about this myaterlou* third person: “There was something familiar about him. I—I think I'd recog nize him.” Something familiar! Where had Jack aeeti thla man before? Mona's apartment, small and fragile, with delicate furnishings and silken hangings, waa. as Sylvia entered through the door, like a pearl house overrun by swine Great bulky detectives, heavyfooted police, finger-print experts, reporters and photographers from the papers, and Sylvia could not help wondering how the sdj^H place could hold them all. Site momentarily expected these people to bring the delicate walls down with their heavy feet and hands. One of the detectives was inclined to be suspicious of Sylvia's presence. “It’s all right,” Tom reassured this officious person. “She's a newspaper woman.” "What paper?" growled the detective. Sylvia remembered that his voice was one that ahe had heard over the telephone. Evidently, the detectives had descended upon these rooms several hours ago. “Why, she's on my paper,” said Tom. 'Maybe you’d like to suti her birth certificate?” Tom’s Irony caused the detective to withdraw muttering something about, “Too many newspaper boys and girls to gum up things.” Sylvia was alarmed for fear one of the newspaper photographers should recognize her as the sister of the accused man; but, alter a few mlautes when they paid no attention to her, she began to breathe somewhat more freely. There were three rooms and a bath In the apartment. Two of these rooms Were tastefully and expensively furnished, and Bvlvia could not help wondering where Mona had got all the money to buy these flue things. Certainly, her salary at the night club would not have purchased these soft rugs, these finely wrought pieces of rose wood and mahogany furniture. This thought led to another. Where had Mona come from? What had she done before becoming a night club danoer? Sylvia went out into the kitchen, and noticed that there were two possible exits from this room. There was a door leading out on • series of stair flights. These stairs, Sylvia soon discovered, led one down to the first floor of the building and out into a side street. The other exit led out on to a fire-es-cape. There was nothing of further Interest In the kitchen, and Sylvia turned a a ay. Passing through the

hall that led from the kitchen to the front room. Sylvia passed a door which she opened. It was a tiny clothes cupboard, and Sylvia saw that the dead girl's clothes were still hanging neatly from hangers. What luck! Without losing a moments time, Sylvia slid her hand into the pockets of a fur coat. One of the pockets was empty, but In another, her hand found a slip of paper. A letter! Scarcely had Sylvia appropriated the missive and hidden It In her own coat than one of the detectives appeared in the hall way. "What’s that?” he asked, pointing at the door. "Why, It seems to be a clothes cupboard,’’ answered Sylvia. “Didn’t you take something out of there?" the detectives questioned her. “I certainly did not,” said Sylvia Indignantly. She lost no time In putting the detective behind tier Where could she read tills letter? Not In the front room, filled as It was with people. The kitchen was too obvious a place. Ah! I he bath room! In a second, Sylvia had locked this door behind her. With trembling fingers she removed the letter from her coat.

An envelope was post-marked. "New York” and the date was

about a week previous. Who had Mona Gale known in New York? Sylvia opened the letter, which read as follows: “Lucky, lucky Mona: “You certainly was a wise kid to give the Chief the go-by the way you done, an’ him simply nuts about you. But you always did have nerve, kid. Jim was so used to you that he sure raised a howl

when he found you'd slipped away. But did you know you was trailed? Jim had Carby find out where'd you go, and Carby says you Hew to Chicago. Next thing we all know, Jim says he's going to Chi too. It seems there’s a big Job there wllh plenty of kale in It, believe me. But 1 thluk his real reason for going to Chi was to keep an eye on you, dearia. He seems to think you're runnln’ around with another guy. From what you said in your last letter, you’re rankin' more maztima as you ever did workin’ for the gang. An’ you got yourself a heavysugar Infant. Whoopee! Some girls has all the luck. Work him fast, sweetie, because Jim is liable to make all kinds of trouble when His Nibs finds out. “Best o’ luck, an rewah, but not up the river, "RUBY SIMPSON.” Sylvia stood quite still for a minute, completely absorbed by certain facts that this letter made plain to her. In the first place there was another man. The writer alluded to him ns the “Chief" and then an “Jim.” It was obvious that the “Chief” or "Jim” was interested In Mona, perhaps In love with her. He had been Interested enough, at any rate, to have her trailed to Chicago. The letter was plain-spoken enough to impress Sylvia with the fact that the mysterious Jim was a crook, the chief of some gang of criminals. There could be no doubt, however, that Mona Gale was also a member of this ring, but had tired of her vocation. Either she had never been In love with Jim, or else she had feared him and run away. The person the writer called a "heavysugar Infant” must be Jack. Who else? "Work him fast” wrote the friend. In other words, Mona was not sincere with Jack, but was trying to get money out of him. But the most interesting part 0 f the letter to Sylvia, was the last line— “Jim is liable to make all kinds of trouble." Here, no doubt of It. was the mysterious third person, the man who had entered the private room and knocked Jack unconscious! Who was Jim? What was n* !, a8 L narae? What did Jim look like. These questions were like a circle of torches aflame in Sylvia's mind. If she could find this mysterlous third person, the mystery wouid be on its way to a solution. Suddenly the door-knob rattled and a gruff voice called out. Everybody out! Were lockin’ up the house!" Sylvia quickly shoved the letter into her pocket, called forth, "AH r * ht a.
