CHAPTER VI The kindly face of the banker was marked by lines of worry as though he feared he had talked too much. But the ponderous detective did not seem particularly interested. "Vernon," he remarked. “Maxwell Vernon, eh T’ \ s "Ye* They call him Max." . "Friend of yours?" "I like him—ls that’s what you mean." "What sort of kid Is he?" Fiske hesitated, then leaped forward with a sudden burst of confl- | dence. “If I give you my honest opinion of that boy, Hanvey— will It prejudice you against him?" "Golly. no." "He has. faults —” "Who hasn't? Only men I’m afraid of are these -goody-goody, aln’t-l-hon- • est ones. They're the cute babies! ; Now about Vernon?" "It Isn't a long story. You know we have a college here. Vernon en tered as a freshman three years ago—he's finishing his Junior year now. I met him when he came Into the' hank and opened a ninety thousand dollar checking account It was rather un usual—" I “I should guess yes." “—And naturally I had a chat with , him. This money was the remainder of an Inheritance from his mother, she having been his surviving parent.’ "Orphan?" "Exactly. In the past three years Max and I have been quite friendly—so friendly that at tlmes I'm afraid he has rather resented what must have seemed like Interference on my part " "What were you Interfering about?" "Vernon has been running through his money pretty fast lie started 1 slowly In his freshman year, but the word got out that he wns very rah and he gathered around himself a group of friends rather more mer cenary than genuine. Max Vernon Is weak; about, as weak as a young, man who la not vicious can be. I ready believe, though, that there Isn't a vicious bone tn his body. -Ills first year at college he spent money lavishly. Last year he s|»ent It faster. This year he has run through every, cent of . I what little was left" | F "Gosh! He must be a bird!" ■ "Ti»o many friends for his own good. I One In particular—" r *Whor "Hl tell you about him directly. To stick to Vernon: when I saw his money dwindling I started having sensible, fatherly talks with hl tn. He always confessed bls weakness and always promised to draw in his horns. Then the next thing I knew there'd be a walloping big check come through the bank." “Hid he have all hie money here?" I "Every cent. That's why l'm In a I position to know so much about him. ; About a month ago he had run through his money. Didn’t have two hundred dollars left. About a week ago he came to me and asked for a loan. He ■ admitted that he was broke. He said he was In a rotten fix—owed a big ; gambling debt—and felt that his honor was at stake." "Doha he gamble much?" "A good deal. But that Hl touch on later. He wanted to borrow money. Os course. F explained that I couldn't lend It—at least that the bank couldn’t 1 did offer to lend him a trifling sum personally, but he said that the hundred dollars 1 offered wouldn’t help a bit. He needed five thousand." * "No piker, at any rate." "It isn’t that Hanvey. He jnst doesn’t know anything about money . . or If he does, he’s learned It in the last month, which isn’t very likely. He always had thought that ninety thousand dollars was Inexhaustible. Then, suddenly. It was gone. It look him a long time to understand that there was no more. He confessed to me that he had been a fool He wanted to know what to do, and 1 suggested that he leave college, get a Job and begin to take life seriously. His gambling debt—‘the debt of honor’ he rather grandhuiely called It—seemed to be preying on hla mind. Once or twice he even talked about killing himself. I spoke to him Uke a Dutch uncle—" "You thought he meant ItF "He meant It; yea. But I knew he’d never do IL I was merely trying to snap him out of his despondency. All his lightness and brightness were disappearing. But there was nothing I could do about IL" -And her -No one in the world could have needed or wanted money more than Mm Vernon thought he did. Remember that! The last time 1 saw him was April twenty-eight when he begged me for a loan—and I again refused, -On May first, a Uttle after aww o’clock, this bank was robbed of more than one hundred thousand dollars. I am terribly afraid that Max Vernon was Implicated In that holdup." -Because you recognised Ma carF That is only the beginning. Hanvey. When I remembered after the excitement died down that the car had looked like Vernon's. I paid mighty little attention. Then I recalled the man at the wheel—and It seemed to me that even In the brief glin.pse. It was Vernon." -You couldn’t awear It. though F "Certainly not. But I Investigated. and now, Hmm?, comes the rotten

part of my chain of evidence. That ; night Max Vernon did not return to his room in the Psi Tau Theta house. I He did not come back until late yesterday afternoon." "Yes. . . r Fiske frowned, then looked up at Hanvey’* expressionless face. "I’m trying to be fair to the boy—and to you. He went to his room at the’fraternity house. But. Hanvey. there was something else that I didn’t hear until this morning." f"What?” "He didn’t come back In the car he was using day before yesterday I" Jim blinked slowly, lighted a fresh cigar and blew a cloud of the rancid smoke across the .table. "No?” he asked with depressing lack of interest. “What did he come in?" “A new car.” said Fiske. “A brand new and very expensive one.” "Ilnim. . . ." Hanvey puffed thoughtfully, but said nothing. To the hanker It seemed that he was not even bothering to think. Just a. groat human bulk occupying spare. Flrice was considerably Irritated. "I don’t want to be misunderstood. ' Hanvey." he said, with a hint of acid In his tones. "I’m fond of that boy. I don’t believe there’s anything radically wrong with him. I've told you everything, hoping that I’ve over- ‘ looked, some point which may prove 1 to be in his favor." "Mavlte." suggested Hanvey softly, "mnybe you have." “I hope so. I don’t Want to see Max ' Vernon get into trouble." •<;<>sh!” Hanvey nncrossiM Ids legs wilh considerable difficulty. "It seenfs like what you've told- me Indicates that he's In trouble enough. Everything links him up with a bank robbery." "1 realise that." Randolph Fiske spoke In a low,| strained voire. “And perhaps I’m doing him a favor." I •How?" "Because," explained the banker, “I’d rather see Vernon convicted of complicity In a holdup than electrocuted for murder." Hanvey scratched his head “Pm all up In the air. Mr. Fiske. You’re talking about murder, and 1 don’t know anything about any murder. Who got bumped off. and what bus Vot-">n g»»t to do with it?" "it happened at the college—Marland university—Just before this bank was rbbl»ed day before yesterday. Max Vernrtn was arrested for the killing the minute he returned to the campus yesterday evening." "I see. ... Who arrested him?"' ’"The local police." "Mtn hmm ! They sure are h—l on mukin' arrests. Guess they feel tbey’vg got in keep In practice Whose murder was Vernon arrested for?" ”A man named Thayer—Paterson Thayer. They call him Pat." “College st •» >ntr “Yea. I guess you'd call him thaL He came to Marland two years ago and entered the Junior cldss. He would have graduated next month. Ugly rumors followed him here. They Mid he had been Invited to leave the two northern colleges which he had attended. He was a picturesque figure; tail, handsome, suave, worldly—nothing collegiate about him," “How old?" “About twenty-three or four." “And his connection with VernonF “That’s what worries me. They l>ecame friendly from the start. Max looked up to Thayer, and I think Thayer had a supreme contempt for Vernon. But that didn’t prevent the older man from bleeding Max." "How?" "Cards, I believe. And If any credence la to bo given the rumors Which followed Thayer to Marland, he was quite expert In manipulating them. In the past two years, Hanvey. about forty thousand dollars’ worth of checks drawn by Vernon in favor of I*at Thayer have passed through this bank." Hanvey was silent for a moment. "Interesting chap, thia Thayer. Regular College hustler. ehF *1 think so. He must have had a rather hypnotic manner because every time I suggested to Max that perhaps their two-handed game wasn't entirely straight, 1 found I'd stirred up a hornet's nest He bitterly resented any criticism of his friend. And I’m sure that the five thousand dollars Vernon owed when he came to me was represented by a note he had given Thayer to cover a gambling debL" “And It s*as because of this that VerDonha* been arrested for Thayer's murderF “No-o. You see. no one but myself knows how deeply Involved Max Vernon was. Financially, that M* He was arrested largely on circumstantial evidence, and because It developed that they had had a bitter quarrel on the catupus less than an hour before Thayer was killed." "About wbatF The Idea seems to be that Thayer stole Vernon's girt." • "Mmm! Nasty business. Thayer must bare been an awful careless young man.” "It doesn't look good for the boy, Hanvey. • Thayer gets all his money and a note that he can’t possibly pay. Then Thayer steals the one thing left to Vernon—bls girt. Os course we can smile, but I fancy that even to a youngster like Vernon, the loss of a lady's affections could cut pretty deeply. But we’ll go a step farther: We ll say that it not only makes him

furious, "but also opens his eyes. It makes him understand that Pat Thayer is unscrupulous Suppose he gets the idea that Thayer has been cheating him at cards?" Fiske paused for- a moment and Hanvey looked up interestedly. “Darned If you ain’t clever. Mr. Fiske. Lemme hear some more." "Taking all that for granted, then." went on the banker. Obviously pleased by Jim's approval, “we can understand that even a chap like Vernon could go craxy. The worm having its inevitable turn. We do know positively that shortly after their campus quarrel Vernon went to the fraternity house where be and Thayer both lived and made no secret of the fact that he was bitterly angry with Thayer. A little later Vernon left the place in his car and still later Thayer's body was discovered. He had been stabbed In the throaL" "And even without knowing what you know about the money situation, they siwtted Vernon as the man, eh?” "Yes. If they heard about this . . . I'm worried about the lad. Hanvey. Maybe he killed Thayer and maybe he didn't. If he did I’m sure It was the result of a quarrel and a fight. The boy needs help. We have the loss of what must have appeared to him as an inexhaustible fortune; his desperation over finances; the five thousanddollur note covering a debt of honor . . . . and we have a staggeringly strong reason why he must have become mixed up In the robbery of this bank. I'm afraid Vernon did one or the other, and frankly, Hanvey. I’d rather see him tied up wltij the robbery than the murder.” | The detective lighted another cigar. There was a silence for a few minutes and then the door opened. Miss Seward placed a card on Randolph Fiske's desk. Fiske glanced at it and passed It across to Hanvey. “Who is John Reagan?" risked Jim. “Chief of the Marland detective force. If you’d rather not have him come in—" "Gaily! He’s the one man I'd like to talk to." Two minutes later Reagan snapped Into the room: trim and efficient. He paid no attention to the banker, but advanced on the vast bulk of Jim Hanvey. “I want to shake hands with you, Hanvey." he. said heartily. “All my life I’ve wanted to meet a real detective." Hanvey grinned like a kid. "Whatcha fining, Iteagan—taking me for a buggy ride?" “I mean it.” The lofal chief turned on Fiske. “Do you know who this feller is, Mr. Fiske? He's the cops* delight. He never makes a mistake —" "Say. wait a minute, Reagan. I guess I’ve missed more easy ones than any man In the country. Honest I have. But my people don’t advertise the failures so awful prominent," "Hooey!" said Reagan With hearty admiration. "And the minute I heard you were In town 1 followed you here. 1 want you to do me a favor —a big one?” "Yeh. . . r Take charge of two cases here: the robbery of this bank and the murder over at the college." "Man! I never fool around with

gW»& "Manl I Never Fool Around With Killings. They’re Too Dog-Goned Messy." killings. They’re too dog-goned messy." “You're handling this bank thing, ain’t youT’ “Maybe." "Then you’ll have to take on the other." “Why?" "Because," announced Reagan crisply. "they’re tied up tight together. 1 don’t know how they were done, but I’ve got the baby who did ’em both—or knows who did. This feller killed Thayer and then came over here and copped the mill pay roll" “What's his name?" "Vernon. Maxwell Vernon." _ (TO BE OQMTINUKD.) A SPOT NEWS STORY. They tell a story up at the Post Star office about Deßidder. It appears he went to the First Presbyterian church one Sunday, having quite a liking for Pastor La Rue. Mr. La Rue that Sunday preached on the Passage of the Children of Israel over the Red Sea and the drowning of their enemies, the Egyptians. DeRidder heard some of the sermon and then left the church and rushed to a telephone. He got in touch qpth the city editor and this conversation followed: Deßidder—What are you fellows doing, have you heard the news? City Editor—What news? Deßidder—Why the whole Egyptian army has been drowned in the Red Sea and there is a minister down here in Hudson Falls who knows all about it. Have you fellows got any word of it. Hustle around and I’ll go back and get the low down and maybe we can get out an extra special edition.—Hudson Falls (N. Y.) Herald.
