The WEDDING MARCH MURDER r MONTE T ? _ W.NU aV A£*Y£E.

CHAPTER II Suspects "Here.” said Peter, "Is the knife that killed Franklin." The group In the sacristy turned startled glances in his direction. ’•Where did you find that?" Nl-k Itoyce demanded. Peter explained how It had been banging In Its scabbard, h’~ K on the wall of the study. Sergeant Kllday. handling it carefully by the scabbard, as Peter bsd done in order not to mar any fingerprints there might be on the handled examined it minutely. "Ever seen this be'one. Doctor?" he Inquired of the rector. “Yes. It Is mine. I brought it from Jerusalem.* “DM you usually* keep It In your study?" Doctor Abernathy nodded. “All the relics on the west wall of the study from the Holy land.". he ex plained. The sergeant handed the weapon carefully to one of his assistants. “Look the handle over for fingerprints." he ordered. “You can use th* study. As soon as you're through with It. bring it back to me. I want to have a look at theJblmle, next.** Then, turning, he Knifed significant iy at Nick Royce. “So you didn’t have time to run home and hide the knife, eh, Mr. Jloycer “Don't be a fool, Kllday." The raillery had died out of the newspa per man’s voice. “In the first place I doubt If that’s the weapon which killed Franklin. Secondly, there wenhalf a dozen |>eo|>le who had as good an opportunity to kill him as I. And the others had motives. I hadn’t." “Half a dozen people? Perhaps you ran tell me who they were?” Kll day’s tone was eager, but freighted With doubt. .Itoyce glanced slowly around the room before replying, his eves lingering, momentarily, on both I»octor Abernathy and Ambrose Carmody. “Mr. Carmody here had some words with Franklin In the study a short time before the murder." Carmody smiled briefly, as he ghrugged. It was evident that he thought the statement beneath his defense. “And your son. Mr. Carmody." Nick Royce continued calmly. "Ilylle came back here and threatened Jim Franklin a short time before the wedding." “Ilylle?" Carmody's tone expressed his indignation. “He careful whn you try to Involve In this affair. Royce." The editor of Topics turned to the rector for confirmation.* “How about It, I»octor Abernathy? You were here." The rector was obviously reluctant to speak. "Yea," he said finally, “Ilylle was here. He had an argument with Mr. Franklin In my study. j> abort time before the wedding. *tM he left right away." Doctor Abernathv hurried to add. “I talked go Frank!!* after that. So did Mr. Royce. The fijea that ilylle eould hijve been connected with thia Is preposterous.” "What time was thia quarrel?” Kllday demanded. *1 couldn’t say. exactly.” The rector was <UII doubtful. “Not later than a quarter of four. I am sure " "Probably earlier than that." added Boyce. “Rylfe was the first one who quarreled with Franklin, and that was sight after we eame. We arrived at twenty minutes of four.* "Did I understand you to say that Ilylle was the flrat one to quarrel with Franklin. Nick?" Peter Cant! gan leaned forward. elbows on knees. ,hls lean brown hands clasped together. watching the other man In tently. “He had more than one quar•.rel here, then?* Royce nodded, but glanced at Car ranody. before raplylngyerbally. "There -.was a woman.” be said. Ambrore Carmody turned toward the man stiffly. “I suppose you gave en account of that to your newspa per. teo?” . > “Os course” And then, for the first time defending himself. Royce hnrriei to say. “What else could t da? Every paper tn town will hare an account of it—and of thia woman, too. “It was Helen Train." he continued, thia time addressing Klblay. “Choo Choo Train, of the Scandals. Franklin made no secret of his attachment for her. The whole town knew It—every one except, perhaps, the Carmodys." Ambrose Carmody set down heavily. -When was this?" he asked. “Before or after I talked with Franklin?" “After." Royce’s tone was kindly. “Sorry. Mr. Carmody, but you asked ftp- it Choo Choo came la after Doe tor Abernathy entered the church. She and Jim quarreled. Jim wanted to know what she was doing here. He was angry. She claimed that he had : aent for her. I hushed them up. I afraid the sound of their voices .could be heard Inside the church. “ 'Come In here,' Jim said and. grabtflag her by the arm. pulled her Into the Rudy. That was the last I heard." “Did you see her again?" Kllday teemed to know. “Me. She must have left by the back door.* “How about Franklin?" Peter Car dlgan Inquired. “Did you see him after that, either?* Boyce hesitated, as though tor reflec-

tlon. “Noo." he sail slowly. “Come to think of it. that was the last I saw of Jim." They were interrupted hy one of Kilday’s assistants, entering from the study with the <jagwr. "No prints. Sergeant." he reported. “The handle must have been wiped clean." “It was too much to hope for." (replied Kllday, as he drew It from (Its scabbard The blade was about five Inches long and carved only slightly. The most Interesting feature of the dagger was Its handle of elaborately carfed Ivory, with h curved metal hilt In the sha’>e of two ram’® horns, their tips pointing downward. There were no j-t.-'/’is on the Made. t “Naturally, there wouldn’t he,” Peter pointed out “The slayer wiped It off on the curtain. Rult I am sure ’his Is the knife which was used." '• .'hy are you so sure?” Kfllay le.’; ' i doubtful: “Simply this." Tie novelist tbok the da—rer from his friend and pointed to the curved hilt.

"It h - ins to look as though It »;t r’t a premeditated crime." jSer g< -nt Ivlday began. “The murdjf-rer or m jrderesk. whichever Ute rose imav be. grabbed this wen <>n from the jwall In a flt.of passion. It appears that he brotr ht no wennon with him." j I '<' red '’!<>■■ • :>!>v at the rear d‘ or of the room “I wonder how mr.-h this door had to do with It.* he said, lie spoke softly, as thon"h glv Ing voice to his thoughts, rather than expression to any formulated onlulon. “If that theory Is correct." he continued. “there was no reason for the murderer to conceal his movements when be entered the study. Th«o It ■would hoe been some one whom either f!oy<-e or the rector saw enter ln< the room. If the crime wasn’t pri-no-tilTated there was no reason "hr the murderer should have slippe«k in here by the rear floor." It was clear that Kllday. whn had paused to listen to his friend’s reflections, shared his doubts , • , They were Interrupted by an exultant detective. “look what we found In the gapfen. Sergeant." < ’arefully wrapped In a hanflker chief to prevent marring any fihger.printn there might be on the weapon, the officer exhibited his find. It was s revolver. Kllday exam Ined It. clucking so*tW under h’s breath. "Not premeditated, eh? looks l ! ke we were gue«sfng in the hark. Peter. Now we have something to go on." Turning to the rector, he exhibited the weapon for examlnat'on. *1 don’t suppose this was one of your relics. Wks It. Doctor?" “I have never owned a revolver tn mi life," denied Doctor Abernathy hastily. The detective handed the exhibit to one of his assistants. “Try It for finger prints.” he ordered tersely, his searching gaze coming to resit on Nicholas Royce. "This actress you saw here. Know where she lives 1“ "1 can find out very easily.* ! The sergeant turned away briskly “I can do It quicker. If you don’t al-rt-udv know." There was a speculative light gfeam Ing In his eyes as he turned to Peter Cardigan. “I’m going to havs g talk with this woman.” he said. “Want to go along?” “Os courae.* the novelist agree*!. “I'ut I still am very doubtful about her ability to have delivered that hlow. That required more strength than the ordinary woman possesses. I think." ‘‘Otting hack to me. ehr Nick Royce's smile was sardonic. “Not necessarily. You have told ns about the two Carmodys and the actress. Was, anyone else herer The newspaper man hesitated, and when he spoke his manner was very deliberate, "rve mentioned all the men." he said; “Doctor Abernathy and I were here most of tbe time. Rylle Carmody eame tn early and quarreled violently with Jim tn the study. His tot her." he glanced at Ambrose Carmody, “came back here just a few minutes before the wedding was to start. I think be quarreled with Jim. too." “Perhaps I may be able to help a little." Doctor Abernathy volunteered hesitantly. “Mr. Royce was out for a while and In his absence, there were two other visitors, a woman and a man." "Two others!" Kllday exclaimed. “Man, why didn’t you tell us about this before?" “You gave me no opportunity," declared the rector with dignity. “Tbe man I recognized from his newspaper pictures. He was Daniel Bullis, the well-known politician.* “Dan Bullis!" The sergeant whistled. “Did yea recognise the woman, too. Doctor?"

“Could you describe her?* The rector was doubtful. “She was a very handsome woman " be said. “A blond. I think. At least, she gave tbe Impression of fairness. She was dressed In blue, an afternoon frock I believe, but I can’t be sure of that either. I am sure she was dressed in blue, however." “You are certain the man was Daniel Bullis?" “Yes, reasonably sure. Tve often seen his pictures." "Doctor Abernathy, suppose you tell ua In your own way Just what happened wben these two people entered the sacristy.’* “Well." the rector crossed his knees slowly, “the woman entered first. I was called to the telephone In the study. When T came out. she was quarreling with Franklin. She seemed quite hysterical and Franklin, too. was angry. “T didn’t hear what had gone be fore, but as I came through the door, the woman said. ’You will or Fll —’ “Franklin grabbed her roughly and shut off the last part of her sentence by clapping his hand over her mouth. “‘Doctor Abernathy? he said. •This woman Is growing hysterical. May we use ynur study?’ “ *l<et me talk to h*-r.’ I advised him. thinking that I might be able to quiet her. “But brjjj'klin refused my help. *J can handle this myself,’ he told me. “1 then addressed the woman, who had been silent since she had been aware of my presence. ’This l» • serious time for a quarrel,' I told her. ’lf there is anytb'ng between you and My. Franklin which I should know, now is the time to si>eak.’ “ That's nonsense!' Franklin Inter? rupted me. 'lf you will just permit us to use your study for a few min? otea. we can roach an understanding. This is a client of mine. Doctor.’ he explained The misunderstanding fe of a confidential nature, concerning g trust—« trust fund.* “He appealed to the woman. ‘For heaven's sake, tell him so.' he said, •Can't you sep the position you are placing both of us In? Everything if going to be all right.’ . “The woman in blue nodded in coq» Qrmation of his statement,” the repI “You Will, or I'll—” tor continued, “and after that assurance, I allowed them to enter the study. 3 Franklin closet! tl»e door after him," “Could you hear what was said after the d<»or was closed?” Kilday inquired eagerly. "I didn’t listen," the d<»ctor replied with dignity. “I didn’t mean it in that way," the sergeant hastened to assure him. ’’But their voices were cured, weren’t they? You couid scarcely have avoided hearing them were quarreling." “Perhaps not, under ordinary circumstances." Doctor Abernathy agreed. “But the organ was playing, inside the church. 1 could tell they were quarreling, however. I could hear the Woman's shrilly, from time to time. But I could not distinguish what was being said.* “And then xyhat happened?” Peter Cardigan prompted. "Then Daniel Bullis came In, through the aide door of the sacristy. 'Where’i Jim Franklin?’ he avked me. I told him he was In the study but could not be disturbed. Yon see tbe woman was. Kill in there." "And Bullis waited for him?* "No.* The rector leaned forward earnestly. "Bullis swore. He said, •Franklin can’t put me off any longer.’ and walked on into the Kudy without knocking." “What did you hear then?” “I heard nothing more Inside the study. I had Just decided to Inform Mr. Carmody concerning the quarrel, when Mr. Royce came hack." "Where had you been. Royce?" Kllday wheeled quickly to the newspaper man. “Out In the vestibule of the church, looking for Milo Dunbar." replied Royce. “For mes Dunbar looked at th* editor Inquisitively. "Jim wanted you to do him a favor,” Nick explained. “We’ll eome to that later* Kllday Interrupted Impatiently. "When you got back here to the sacristy, did you are Bullis, or beer anything ot his quarrel with Franklin?" “No." “How about tbe woman in blue? Did you see her? Was that Choe Ooe Train?" z “No, I didn’t nee her. But It couldn’t have been Choo Choo.” Royce was quite positive. Choo Choo entered later, from the outside door. Tm sure she hadn’t been here before, because Jim was surprised to see her." “And you never saw the woman in bluer Nick shook his bead. “Both she and Bullis must have left by the back door. This Is the first I had heard of either of them." ■ “Didn’t Doctor Abernathy any any-

thing about them?” Kllday pefbisted. Royce meditated, frowning. “No, he never mentioned them. I remember he did say. “This is the strangest wedding I ever saw.’ I didn’t know he was referring to these visitors, however.” Doctor Abernathy leaned forward quickly. “Tell them what you said. In reply to that Mr. Royce," he urged. “I don’t remember—what did I sayr inquired Royce. * "You said,” the rector’s face flushed with sincerity. “‘lt may be stranger, before It’s over.'” -Yes,’’ Nick smiled. “I remember saying that now.” “Just whnt did you think was going to be so strange. Royce?” Sergeant Kilday was quick to follow up the new lead. Royce hesitated. “That gets back to the reason Jim asked me to go out ii front and find Milo Dunbar,” he began slowly. “And to Ryliie Carmody’s quarrel with him. jnrt after we arrived here.” “Did yot/ hear that quarrel?” “No Jim told me about it Doctor Abernathy was here when Kylie came, though. He can verify that part of It." The rector nodded, reluctantly, it seemed to Peter. “It was about twenty minutes to four." Royce continued. “Kylie drove up to the side of the church In a roadster, and came In here demanding to see Franklin alone. He was beside himself with anger. “Doctor Abernathy Invited him to use his study. He and Jim were In there about two minutes. Then Rylfe pushed out. He didn’t stop to speak to either the doctor nr me. He left toe church very hurriedly and drove off In his car. I watched him from the door, there." "But you say Franklin told you about this quarrel?" "Yes. Immediately afterward, he galled me Into the study and exp.aiued that some one had told Rylie about his affair with Choo Choo Train. The boy had come to demand an explanation. Jim had told him the truth. There was nothing else to do." Royce left his chair and walked restlessly about the room as he wntinued his story. “It seems that Rylle demanded to kno?v If the affair had ended, Jim made the mistake of trying to talk to the boy as one inan of the world to another. It didn’t work Rylfe declared he was go : ng to stop the wedding. Before Jim could stop him, he rushed out of the room, and ’was gone *Jlm was worried. He was afraid the boy might cause some sort of dis turbance during th* ceremony. He was just wrought up enough to do • such a thing. So he asked me to hurry i out In front and find Milo Dunbar. Mr. Dunbar is—or was—Jim’s law partner, I was to explain what bad happened and ask him to keep an eye out for Rylie. when he entered the church. Jim was certain that Mr. Dunbar could handle it “But I couldn’t locate Dunbar. That was why I was gone so long. But Rylle wasn’t there, either, and I finally decided that the boy would be all right, after he had had time to think things over. At any rate. I couldn’t remain away any longer, as ft was about time for the service to start. 8o J came on back here." ”1 was right there tn the church, all the time." declared M’ln Dunbar. His alert gray glance was fastened on the newspaper man. •Td like to know where? I couldn’t locate you." “Let’s get all this straight." Kllday. hands behind him. studied Royce shrewdly. "Shortly after you and Franklin arrived. Rylle Carmody came. He was evidently very angry. Roth you and Doctor Abernathy saw him. Tie talked with Franklin In the rector’s study, and then left hurriedly. Later Franklin confided the nature of this quarrel to you, gnd you went out In front In search of Mr. Dunbar, but were unsuccessful in finding him. "While yoq were away. Doctor Abernathy was called to the telephone, and when he came out he found Franklin quarreling with a mysterious worn an In blue—a blond. Franklin declared the woman was hysterical over a trust fund and hurried her into the Kudy. where they quarreled. This woman was not Choo Choo Train, because Choe Choo was wearing green. At any rate, while toe woman was still In toe Kudy. Daniel Bullis came here de mandlng to see Franklin. He refused to walL and pushed on into the study in spite of Doctor Abernathy’s warning that Franklin waa busy. Then you came back, Royce. •*And when the doctor told you he had never seen such a strange welding, you told him It might he stranger, before it was over. You say you were referring to Rylfe Carmody* "T was.* declared Royce emphatically. "Never mind that now." Kilday brushed aside th* Interruption. “Neither of you saw the woman In blue or Daniel Bullis leave the study. But just a few minutes before the ceremony was to Kart, you say that Mr. Ambrose Carmody eame back to aee Franklin. I believe your Inference was that they quarreled.” “I can explain that* Ambrose Carmody broke in. “I did have an argument with Franklin. Just before we left the house for tbe church, some one telephoned. It was an anonymous message- Normally T would have paid do attention to IL But It so vitally concerned the welfare of my family. 1 thought it deserved recognition. After peaching th* church. I asked Franklin 4or an explanation." «What was that message, Mr. CarWody?* *lt concerned thia rartrees. Choo Choo Train. I was informed of her affair with Franklin,* \ "Was It a .man’s volbe. or a wooan’s?” demanded Peter Cardigan. “A man’s." •And yon asked Franklin about tt?* “Yes. When I reached tots room, i bath Royce and Doctor Abernathy I were present. I Inquired for Franklin, and they Informed me he was In the * study. I knocked. Franklin opened I th* door almost Immediately. I don’t | know what had become of all there j people they say had been in the study.» ■ . i

There was no one else there at the time. I told Franklin what I had i heard, and demanded an explanation. ’ I made it dear that I had to know the [ truth before the wedd'ng. Franklin denied there was any truth In rhe mes sage. He gave me his word as a gentleman on It and I believed him." ' "That was all then?” Kilday prompted him. “Yes." Except for the heightened color In his face, Carmody gave no onti ward sign of e mo tion. 1 "I can substantiate a part of that." ■ volunteered Doctor Abernathy. “When • Mr. Carmody feft the study. 1 heard him say, ’I have your word for ItF j and I heard Mr'. Franklin say. ‘You ; have.’ “ (TO BE CONTINUED.) I _ box DISMAL Maurice Lung spent part of last week in Chicago. Frank Harper and Arthur Morris made a trip to Purdue, Monday.
