JAe MAY DAY n El MYSTERY p Octavus Roq Cohere WNu.UtvlCfc

CHAPTER XII Warm brilliant s&nshlne bathed the courtyard when Tony Peyton and Larry Welch walked out on bond to temporary freedom. There was Ivy Welch, seeming a great deal older than ; she had four day* previously, vet Ir I represslbly youthful withal; and a I score of Larry's undergraduate friend*, young men and women who had come down to congratulate the young couple on what every one considered the end of their Jeopardy. Ivy was particularly happy. “They ' wotjidn’t have let you out if they thought you were guilty, would they Larry?" He shook his head. “I don’t be lieve so. Sis." “Good!" She clasped her hands. “All the time you were In there. Bud. I couldn’t think of anything except—except—" He squeezed hot hand. "Don’t yon worry. Kid. I didn’t have anything to do with IL" 7 j Tony was with a group of her par tlcular friends and Ijtrry nodded toward her, “Why don’t you and she make up. Sis?" Ivy’s face grew stern. "I don’t like her Larry." "Why?" I “lU-cnuse she started all this. If she hadn't hutted In on Fat and me; If she hadn't run to you; If she hadn't been such a fool as to go to Pat’s room nt the fraternity house Oh! can't sou me. Lurry that I can’t help believing Pat never would have heen ' Hilled If she had minded her own i business’" "I’m sorry you feel that way Sts ; You know I’m craxy about her ” I Ivy sighed. “‘I guess I’m hist a I crab. Bud But If I feel that way— i well, I can’t help It can I?" Than she reached out Impulsively and pressed his fingers “Maybe i’ll get over It." Several automobiles were waiting, and at the request of the president. Larry rode to the college with that dignitary ami Denn Boyd They dis cussed the case gravely and told l<Al*ry • great many things about Max Vernon which he had n<»t known. They themselves did not know many de tails, but the campus wns overflowing with rumor Ijtrry was douttful. “It doesn’t seem possible that Max would do a thing like that." “And It didn’t seem possible that you or Miss Peyton wrinld. either We have been mighty worried." r “You’ve been darn white to me. I Intend to resign—no the. college won't suffer." The two older inen smiled. "We're sorry for the scandal, of course. Igirry. But we can't accept your resignation—-for two reasons: One la that we believe you are innocent The second Is that It wouldn’t help you particularly—if you ever came to trial—ls we had acknowledged our lack of confidence by permitting you to leave the faculty." Ijiter that day larry and Tony met by Old Main and walked toward Pine top ..! a knoll which rose above the surrounding country and from which one could look down upon the Marland campus, and thence still far ther tot he sprawling town of Mar land. Half the student body saw them together and every young man and; woman made a point of waving cordially. but no one Joined them. The students were more than a little etn bammed. They wanted the pair to know that there was every belief In their innocence, every sympathy every willingness to do whatever was neces sary byway of help ... but there was a natural hesitancy in Intruding on their privacy. The tragedy hnd» cast a sort .of ghastly mantle about ( them. | They reached Pine top and stood re- ’ gardlng each other: the man tall and blond and very boyish looking despite « the tiny lines of worry about his eyes; the girl vividly beautiful. Their hands were cla«i>ed amPthey drank deep of the wine of freedom and of their Joy at being with each other again. It was Tony who spoke. "You know how I feel. Ijirry. about what you.dld.” He frowned. “What tfld I dor "Telling those detectives that Pnf was alive when yon left his room. Os course I know he wasn't." Larry's cheeks blanched.. "How do you know?” “1 know now. Larry. That's all I wanted: To trick an admission from you. It was fine of you. dear. But we must go to Mr. Hanvey and t<*n him the truth. That Pat was already dead when you reached bis room." "But I didn't say—" "Oh. yes you did. Mrry. Just a second ago. Now listen to me: I don’t know what you think about him —but I believe that terrible looking Mr. Han vey Is one of the most wonderful men 1 have ever met. He can tell when we're telling the truth, and he knows when we’re lying. I told him the truth, dear— even when It looked liked was tightening a noose around your neck. J was scared—and yet I wasn’t scared. Everything I said seemed to Increase your danger. Mr. Hanvey looked like he bad gone to sleep. Then the next thing we knew we were released on bond. Mr. Hanvey knows a lot. And ts he's going to help us. we must help him.** ■ Be nodded slowly. “I guess you're right" His taco was very serious. «|fe kind ot tough on Max Vernon, isn't KF

•’l’m sorry for that boy. Terribly sorry Ami yet if killing Is ever justi fled. It was then. We have no right. Larry, to keep (the truth from a man like Mr Hanvey, who is struggling to help us.” ••Well tellJiiw” They stood In silence for several minutes Overhead a mocking bird trilled gayly; the pine trees swayed softly in the warm breexe which swept in from the countryside. The air was * freighted with the fragrance of flow I era and on Pine top there was no sug- I gvstlon of anything hut Ineffable |>eace ' and happiness. It wns so different I from the solitary cotitineinent at the ! Marland lail; so gloriously a relief from the staring at four blank walls and a tiny square of barred window. They were very young and very much ■> v IfT “When All Thia la Over. Tony. You Will Marry Me?” In love with each other, find Larry moved so close to her that their bodies touched. “When ail this Is over,. Tony, you will marry me?" She looked straight into his eyes. "Yea. Larry." “I’d like to put Into words ... to be able to tell you how much I love ’ you. ■ | “You don't need to. I understand." Hla arms closed about her and he j , held tier close, staring hungrily into I her eyes. Then, suddenly he hurled j hi* face in her hair and so they stood ; for an age of time. . . .Al) that afternoon the campus hummed with craxy rumor and wild conjecture. It was one thing to read j In the newspapers of a murder and quite another to come in contact .with one. The students were impressed by their own Importance In having known Intimately the dead man and the three suspects. Then there was a feeling of depression, as though the college had been sullied. And the I’trt Tau Theta boys went around with chips on their shoulders . al though nobody dared utter a word of criticism. The tragedy had cast a pall over the campus; yet It had brought a new and strange excitement Even commeiK i-ment. wlileh at this season of the year usually loomed up as being all-important, seemed a matter of. little moment Examinations held ter rent for very few of the students, it was. as though they had been confronted by some of the starkness of life » month ahead of time. Human life human love examinations and bachelors’ degrees seemed of small moment by comparison, The afternoon dragged away lairry worked over his class books, trying to rid himself of the effects of the ex i perlence and wondering what the fitIture had In store for Tony, for him self, and for Max Vernon And In his room at the hotel. Jim Hanvey sprawled on the bed and devoured a detective story. ft was there that John Reagan found him. Jim put the book aside reluctantly. j "Gosh." he commented. "It’s great—that story. Just a* soon as I got Interested in something like this, you have tn conw butting Itt What la HI” Reagan spoke crisply. "On the morning of May second a man answering Max Vernon's description—and there ain’t any doubt. Jim. that It was Vernon -entered the American National bank of Steel (Mty and rented s box. He gave the name of William T Aragon. He took the box with him into a little booth. Then he left ths bank. The box la number two thirtyfive. and unless I’m all wrong you’ll find a lot of Brother Fiske's lost money right there." ••Good work. John. You didn't look In the box?" “No. You said not to. But I left word that no one waa to be allowed In there, even with a written order from Aragon, That's fixed good and tight And so—" The telephone buszed and Hanvey answered. “This Is the warden at the Jail.” announced the voice at the other end. "Mina Peyton and Mr. Welch are down here. They want to see you as soon as possible." “Send 'em over to the hotel, wffl you?” Then be turned away from the | telephone and grinned boyishly at his ' friend. I “Welch and Miss Peyton are on their way over. John. Stick around If you want I have a hunch we’re go-

ing to hear some interesting dope.* . •••. • • • • Tony Peyton acted as spokesman. “Larry and 1 have been talking pretty seriously. Sir. Hanvey. We’ve decided that you're playing square and are entitled to have the whole truth—so far as we know IL" Jim’s big face beamed. "That's fine. Miss Peyton. But 1 want to ask one thing before w< start: Am I going to get the who.e truth or only part of hr “The whole thing.” * “Great! Suppose you begin." She shook her head. "I haven't a thing to add* to what I told you at the Jail. That waa the plain, unvarnished truth. I think you know the truth by Instinct. That's why I told It to you In the first place." -“lt’s a pity your boy friend didn't get the same hunch. We'd maybe have let him out earlier.” “I was a" fool. I suppose.” broke in |4irry. “But I knew I was Innocent and thought you’d never be able tn convict me. So I wasn’t very much of a hero, after all. And I was a trifle frightened." “By what?" “By the thing you've know all the time: that Pat Thayer was dead when I went, to hfs room. Knowing that Miss Peyton had been there and that she wns desperate -and seeing Thayer dead—l had every reason tn be afraid. Suppose I had said ’t’hayer was. dead when I wns there and you had heli. -\ »-d me? And then supporf it turntsl nut that Vernon had never visited the room? Can't you see that It would have checked It hack to Miss Peyton beyond any argument?” "Yeh. . That's right, sure enough. I’m miifhly much obliged. Son. for clearing all these things up In my mind And now suppose yon tell me shout that visit?” “There Isn’t much to tell. I was rather appalled hy the depth of Ivy’s Infatuation for Thayer, I was In a peculiar position. In that I had promIsed Miss Peyton I wouldn’t tell anyone about her marriage to Thayer -J figured that hy that time—two o'clock —she had had plenty of chance to see Pat and I felt It was up to me. as Ivy’s brother, to warn him off." “What did you have in mind when you word to Thayer’s room?" The young man hesitated. "I’m try Ing to Ke honest. Mr Hanvey, and the fairest way to answer that question Is to say I don’t know. But It’s only honest to say that I inten<led to make It nilghty clear to Thayer that he’d better keep away from Ivy." “I see. ... And when you got there?" “He was dead. I got rather sick. Just looking nt the body." “pld you touch him?" •-Goo«t G—<P! No!" "How long/were you In the room?" "1 cfon't k\w. Maybe two minutes. maybe I can't remember.” "Why didn't you report finding the body ?" “Because 1 thought of Miss Peyton.” Hanvey nodtier! approval. "Pretty straight story Welch There are just one or two more questions. First of all. did you touch the knife?” Larry’s face expressed sunirlse. • "What knife?” "The knife Thayer had been killed with." "1 didn’t see any knife," "1 see. . .” .Ilin extracted a hlack cigar from his vest pocket, snapi»ed the end from It and lighted the thing witb " t' rlp f apology to Tony. "You took that diamond ring off Thayer’s finger, didn’t you?" Again that startled light flashed In ferry’s blue eyes. "I tMd you I didn’t touch the body at all.'’ "Aw. come now. Son. You promised to tell me the whole truth, and it don't hardly seem like you're doing It You find the body of the man your sister Is craxy about. He’s been killetl. On his finger Is a diamond ring that can he traced back to your sister easy. It means mixing her up in a pretty nasty affair. So you take the ring off Thayer’s finger and keep quiet about It. Ain’t that the way It was?'L "No.” said l-arry firmly, “it wasn’t. I never noticed Thayer’s fingers at all. I can't say what I would have done If I'd seen the ring. But I didn’t see It. and that’s the truth." “Well—" Hanvey heaved a vast sigh. “Somebody did—because It's gone." “I didn't touch It." repeated Larry. “I hope you believe me." “1 reckon I do. And I’m much obliged for coming here. Though I can’t say It has cleared things up a whole loL" They chatted for a few minutes longer and Ijirry and the girl left. ° Reagan closed the door behind them and faced his ponderous companion. “You believe Thayer was dead when Welch got to the room. Hanvey?" “Ixwiks nretty straight to me." “You don't think Miss Peyton killed him. do youT' “Geel Td sure hate to think anything like that about such a swell kid as her." “Did Welch take his sister's ring off Thayer’s finger?" “Now you've got me stumped. I’m darned If I know." “What do you think I” “My thinks ain’t worth nothing. John. What do you think?" “He did noL The man who copped that ring was Max Vernon. And why? Because be was craxy about Ivy Welch and knew her ring. Gosh! Jim—even a guy like you must be ready to admit now that Max Vernon killed Thayer." “Why should I admit that. John?" asked Hanvey mildly. "Because he killed him. that's why. There ain’t any argument about IL" “Why ain’t there?" “Oh. h—l! We've got Vernon a hundred different ways. It's as clear—” "—As mud." “Well, suppose you tell me Just one thing that ain’t dear?" Reagan was quite positive In his manner. ’ Hanvey smiled broadly through a cloud of rancid smoke. “The first thing I can’t straighten out In my mind. John, is the knife that we found In Vernon's room; the one that we’re sure Thayer was stabbed with." "What about It?" Reagan's cheeks were red.. “] overlooked it on my

first search, that’s all.” “Think so, John? You ain't such a bum searcher as all that, are you?” “Any man can miss something. I overlooked that knife, that's aIL And knowing it was his, and finding It in his closet, is enough to convict him." “No.” argued Hanvey gently. “It’s enough to acquit him, John." “What the—" “Now listen. Brother, and don’t get all het up. According to your own pet theory. Max Vernon carried that knife Into Thayer’s room and stabbed him during a row. Then he carried It back to his room and had sense enough to polish the fingerprints off the handle —because, remember, there wasn't a print on It. He then changed his blood-stained clothes. And then, by golly, you ask me to believe that a bird wbo was careful as all that went out and forgot the knife! Holy suffering mackerel! John—that Just ain’t reasonable. It don’t click. Yeh. It’s the knife thnt worries me. and It would worry you/ too. if you’d get off. that one-track railroad you’re riding. The knife is Max Vernon’s only chance. If It wasn't for that I’d bet he killed Thayer." Reagan was pop-eyed as the idea slowly percolated. "Then—then you think that knife was planted In Max Vernon’s room?” Jim regarded the end of his cigar speculatively. “J sort of have a hunch that way. John. Think it over." He hoisted himself from his chair and waddled to the door. ride over to the college, ts you don't mind. I want to see a lot of folks." “Who?" "Well. I ain't talked with those two ki<U who saw everything from the porch—Farnum and Gleason, ain’t they? And I'd like to talk with the dean again, and. maybe the president of that fraternity. And most of all I'd > like to have a few words with Ivy Welch," (TO BE CONTINUED.)

FRON'FsTREET i The writer left Syracuse last Sunday morning as the sun was coming above the tree tops. In his Ford motor car, driving north, we soon came to Road 6. When we came to road 31 we made a right turn and drove 13 miles to South Bend, made famous for being ah industrial center for a large part of Northern Indiana. It is also in a fine farming district. When LaSalle reached this point in 1673 he found a Miami village. Later this tribe gave way to the Pottowattoinies. The city site is located on the old portage between the Kankakee and St. Joseph rivers. It was settled in 1824. A large auto factory is located here. Other factories include furniture, farm implements, flour, harness and paper. The city has many parks, playgrounds and social centers. From South Bend we drove north 10 miles on a four-line, concrete pavement into Niles, Mich. It is said to be the head of navigation on the St. Joseph river. It is in the heart of a rich, fruit growing section and has large manufacturing interests because of its great water power. A French mission was located here in 1697, the ruins of the old fort taken from the French by a Spanish force in 178? are still pointed out. A permanent settlement w-as made in 1828 by home seekers from the eastern states. From Niles w-e droive 25 miles in a northwesterly direction and came to St[ Joseph, Mich., a great summer outing and health resort. The Whitcomb Hotel ind bath house are loct ted here. The mineral baths are much used. The writer took baths here for neuritis in April and May i of. 1926. : A great shipping point for peaches, grapes and other fruit of the Michigan fruit belt, is situated at the ■ mouth of the St. Joe river on Lake ‘ Michigan. In 1700 a mission and i fort were established here. These I were destroyed by Pontiac in 1762. A boulder was erected here by the ! daughters of the American Revolu- | tion to mark the landing of LaSalle 'in 1679. Other attractions are Silver Beach and lake front parks. ( From here we drove across the river bridge into Benton Harbor. It is an important fruit shipping point on the lake. On the outskirts of the city is the home of the religious sect, the House of David. In the vicinity are about 20 mineral springs which attract many health • seekers. ' From Benton Harbor we motored 23 miles over a concrete winding road past sand dunes, often skirtiing the beach of Lake Michigan. We drove into South Haven. It has a population of 6,000 , 50 per cent of which are Jews, coming from i Chicago. Haven is on Lake ■ Michigan at the mouth of the Black river. I This is a scenic City. The country is teeming with all kinds of fruit orchards and vinyards. The large passenger boats stop here to take on and put off passengers. The writer was gone 15 hours, arriving home as the sun was sinking behind the northwestern hills. The I nveter said we h d driven 230 miles lon 10 gallons of gas. UNCLE oEtv.
