SYNOPSIS

Desp : t* the police guar»? in her home by Commissioner Thatrlter Colt, Lola Carewe, suspected "highcr-up” of a jewel thief ring, is mysteriously murdered. Dr. Hugh Baldwin gives heart failure as the -.ause of death. Those present at the 'tine, besides Colt and his aides, were Lola’s mother, Mrs. Carewe; the butler, maid, and Vincent Rowland. an attorney. Colt feels the roung man whose photograph Horns Lola’s dresser — and whose d ‘ntity she refused to reveal beyond

his tirst name. "Itasil”—is connected

vith the mystery. At the mention of his name, Mrs. Carewe be--omes hysterical, saying Lola was a cruel beast and never loved Basil. Christine Quires. Lola’s guest, cannoi b« located, although the elevator hoy claims she returned around midnight with her escort. Guy Everett, and Colt found the bag she carried. Colt phones Everett’s apartment after 3 a. in. and learns Everett has not arrived. A clue in the form of a small wooden box is picked up under Lola’s window, ( hung, the butler, is questioned.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

1 ■1HE homely yellow mai began I by telling nothing. With his pumpkin-like bald head gleaming with moisture, and his gold teeth shining between his patted lips, the ill - favored Chung walked to the drawing ■ room, hands at his side, and stood deferentially waiting to be questioned. His answi ts were explicit, if prolix. He had not seen Miss Christine Quires return on this, the three hundred and sixtyfifth night of the latest year of the Christian calendar He Inal spent the entire evening in the kitchen, shelling peas and reading a paperbound life of a cinema actress of great popularity He was familiar with all of the twelve rooms in the pent-house and knew of no hiding-place that t oll might have overlooked, where Christine might have remained concealed. But the Commissioner prodded on, hoping still to uncover something behind Chung's Oriental magniloquence. “What is your full name?" “Chung Wong Duk.” “And where were you born?” “Peiping.” “Where educated?” “Oxford.” "Indeed! Of what class were your people?” ' “Mv father was an exporter of

silks.” Colt looked at the butler shrewd-

ly.

“Then what is a man from such a family doing aq, a butler in the

United States?”

Chung inclined his head forward

gracefully.

“Only sometime? What w a *»

wrong other time

“Too much Wei Always dinner parties, luncheon |> .rties, late suppers—I have ne e read Li Po!” “But she was kind to you?” “Have you any ki owledge of any

of her enemies?”

“That is not nv business.” “You do not km w anyone with whom she quarrel, d?” “<)h, Vos, I I that.” ’ "With whom, thing?" “It was a ven strange hnusnhold, Mr. Cornu sioner. Peoplh suspected each otier. For instance

"That old wenllcman whom you let go home * —” “Mr. Rowland?” “She quarreled with him.” “When?" “Here—again In this room—tonight.” “Y’ou heard it?” “All!” "What did they quarrel about?” “I heard Mr. Vincent Rowland tell her that she was playing a dangerous game. That the police would get on to Iter. That not everyone would stand for what she was do-

ing."

“And what was she doing ?”

—1 bad charge of the parrot and asked Colt tensely, as Dougherty,

"My country Is not so old-fash-ioned as many people imagine. In my country if a young man is unusually intelligent, like myself, he is placed in the service of the government, like myself, to travel far and wide and observe foreign ways and report the habits of other

countries."

“So you are a spy.” “No, sir. A spy is a military observer. I am not In the service of the army. I am a civilian observer. “Then why do you work in the household of Lola Carewe?” Chung's face was impassive, as

he replied:

■To observe the manners of lower middle-class Americans.” Colt shot a glance at Dougherty,

then hastened on with his quea-

i ion,! . a » “How long have you worked for Mis* Carewe?" „ “Since she was married to Mr.

Gifford For Mr. Gifford 1 worked • wo years before he married Miss

Carewe. Poor Mr. Gifford." “Why *poor Mr. Gifford’?"

■He died.”

“Then you came wltlahls widow? Did you like working for her?”

dog. 1 fed both. I 'licj not poison them. Yet I felt Miss Lola suspected me." “Did she tell > 1 so?” blurted Dougherty. "No. sir—hut her- glances were like indictments. 1 lielieve Mrs. Carewe was afraid of Miss Lola. They very frequently qi arreled. I even heard Miss Lola ph to her mother, ‘I want to get rid ot you forever.’ Is that a way for a daughter to speak to the pau nt she should

honor?”

Chung’s question was entirely rhetorical. His tone was answer enough. Like a poet reciting his own verses, he hastened on: "You ask me if I have known Miss Lola to quarrel. I say that I have known little else. She made many men desperate—that I know. I am facing the low. 1 must tell the truth, so help me God! I heard one man threaten her life.” “Who was that?’ barked Dougherty excitedly. "Guy Everett, the theatrical gen-

tleman.” “When?”

“A week or so ago — In this

room. “Where were you?” “In my kitchen.” “And you heard him say what?" “ 'I wish 1 could strike you dead.’ ” “Hear anything else?” “No, sir—that was the only time his voice was raised high enough for me to hear.” “Then,” said Thatcher Colt, “you don’t know what they were quarreling about?” “No. sir.” “With whom else did Miss Lola

Fallon, and I drew nearer. But tlie Chinaman only shrugged. “I wish I knew,” he confessed with a gold-toothed smile. “I believe in law. I believe in order. I am telling these facts about my mistress because I believe in law and order.” "Keep all this to yourself,” admonished Colt. “I will talk with you further.” He was dismissing the Chinese witness because at that moment had come u clamor at the door. The detail from Headquarters was arriving. Colt quickly dispatched Chung to his kitchen, as there marched into that exquisite apartment a group of picked experts from the New York Homicide Squad. leading the delegation was Assistant Chief-Inspector Flynn, in command of all the detectives of the New York Police Department. Flynn was the second ranking officer of the entire force, occupying the post originally created for Edward P. Mulrooney, now Commissioner. His vitally important position is now held by Flynn’s successor, John J. Sullivan, one of the ablest officers in the Department. Assistant Chief-Inspector Flynn was one of the old guard—a graduate of that stern class of officers led by Inspector Thomas Byrnes and Sur*rintendent George W. McCluskey, old-time police officials, now dead, who, in the days when Fulton Street was the dead-line, terrified the New York criminal

world.
