The WEDDING MARCH MURDER C MONTE

Danfort BtilHs was a huge man, from the halrv hands that had engulfed Peter’s during fhoir Introduction. to the crown of his head, which wmwl almost too ponderous. eren for his massive frame. The wide leather Chair tn which be slouched was almost concealed by his bulk. One long lee was thrown carelessly across the chair-arm. swinging slowly, and blunt fingers drummed Incessantly against his knee as be talked. But it was that ponderous head, which dwarfed the wide shoulders, that fascinated Peter m«»*t. In spite of Its size, or because of It. Cardigan was not sure which, there was some thing almost InfantJle about the man's etnression. The short, whitish blond hair, straight as a string, grew low on his forehead, and was unparted. ft was not aw though It had been combed long ago, and forgotten, so much a* tb-r-h it h i.I never known a comb.

At his office, his home, his club, everywhere. Why. I’ve even been,paging him over nt Choo Choo Train's. But he was dodging me. "Well. I knew there was one place he couldn’t dodge me—the church. So I went there, and I saw him." “What was It you were so anxious to see him about?" Kllday repeated hla duration. Bullis compre«s.s| his lips into a thin s hard line. “Huh." hr grunted, “and you call yourself a detective. Well. I’ll tell you. Jim Franklin thought he was going to climb into the governor’s chair by sacrificing a few old friends who put him where he was. I went there tn tell him he'd never get near Albany, until h? was willing to listen tn me. And I told him." "What did Franklin have to say to that?" “He was in a tough spot. Re had to listen to me. And he agreed with me. too." "You mean to say." Peter leaned forward intently, “that you and Frank lin came to an agreement, there tn the church study? Hid you part frlri.d® ?’ "Sure* Bullis grinned with bls mouth, out his eyes remained palely* expressionless. "Jim saw hie mistake, and we parted the best of friends." “Just how did that about?" . ifBB, Filflh !

The politician shook his head. ’’l’d never ween he said. “I ni sure of that. She wasn’t the kind you’d forget." “Perhaps you could describe her." Kllday suggested. “Well," Bullis hesitated. “I don’t know whether I could or not. She was a good looker and blond." “i»td she have on a blue dress?" inquired the sergeant. “1 believe so. pm not sure.” Peter picked up the Topics, crumpled beside the politician's chair, and |'< I«| un the page of pictures.

The sergeant groaned. “It would be. There are only ten thousand green Cadillacs tn this town." Peter lighted a cigarette and studied Bullis thoughtfully, through Its \blue haze. I “You could Identify that you saw her aga’a. couldn't you, Mr. Bullis?" “I don’t know. Maybe." The politician returned his stare coolly. “She made quite an Impression 00 you. didn’t she?" This time it was Kllday who asked. The politician turned the battery of bls expressionless eyes npon him. “I said she was easy to look at." be replied. “But still you couldn't identify her picture tn the paper?" The detectivw grunted bis disbelief. Bullis once more examined the pietnrra spread out across the front page of Topics. “You seem mighty sure It was one «f these girls." he said. “What do you think F “Newspaper pictures aren’t always such good likenesses," the politician suavely replied. CHAPTER IV Seeking a Woman in Bios It was still early when Kilday and Cardigan quitted Bullis’ chib. "What do you think?" Kilday de- | manded, as they waited for their car. Peter shrugged. “He’s only tellinr what he wants to telL There's a» way of knowing when Bullis left that ; room. When Ambrose Carmody rapped. . Franklin made him wait before admitting him. There must have been . some one there, who had time to leave by the rear door before Carmody en- ! tered. If it wan Bullis, he orakl have j waited until Otrmody left and then I come hack. Or, of course. It may have 1 been the woman In blue who returned. Il is possible it was both. I am only sure of «me thing. Some one was I there or Franklin wouldn't have kept ’ Mr. Carmody waiting." “And how about Choo Choo Train? , And Callis Shipley? They both vis- | tted the vestry after Cqcmodi."

“I don’t know about Chon Choo." replied the iwwellst woaHly. “As for the Athc| girl, she r.nevqr .entered the study. Boyce declares be rapped on the door, and Franklin replied that young Carmody wasn't there. As far as we hnow; that’s all Miss Shipley had to do with it." - : Kilday paused In the lighting of a* new cigar. “Except that she drove home with R.rlle Carmody and lied to us about it. And knew that Jim Franklin was killed, bin can't evniain how she knew It. And." he bmndished the stogy for further emphasis, “why did she run around there looking for Rylle Carmody in the first place? Fm not so sure." he added, “that she isn't the blond woman in the blue dn*s? that Doctor Abernathy saw. He may not be tellinc the truth about that." Peter langhed. “Doctor Abernathy Is a minister." “Even ministers are human," the sergeant retorted. “I’m not saying he had anything to do with it. But If he knows this girl so well, he mnv have a mistaken Idea of chivalry and be trying to protect her." x But Peter st’ll was n«t convinced. "If It had been Call's SNln’ev, wouldn't Bnllls have Identified her from the picture In the new Snape. ?’ “Maybe. Maybe not.

Choo Choo Train today?” the sergeant deiyarideii. “Von did tel! him, didn't yon?” Speers drew up a chair and sat down, deliberately, he’ore replying. Peter felt that it was his method of sparring fob time. “Yes," he admitted finally. “I tn formed Rylle about this actress, of course.

“And you wanted to hr sure, didn't you? That’s why you_called'up'hls father. too, , .Kllday manded.“I don’t know what you mean.” Defensively. : “Oh. yes, you do," the sergeant persisted. “You telephoned Ambrose '• Carmody and gave him the same Information. jnst this afternoon.” “Did he say that?” The-young man’s • voice was incredulous. Peter found himself wondering whether or not the ; tone was assumed. j The detective studied the glowing ash of his cigajr. “You give Jtlm your name.’* he continued. “But you must realize that you’ve talked to Mr. Carmody often enough that he could recognize your voice.” Kilday was trying a shot in the dark. “What j was the idea of that anonymous call, Spears? Still Just a brotherly interest in Doris Carmody?" “I didn’t admit I made that call." “Fm giving you a chance to admit it now. Did you?" Spears locked at the sergeant steadJ Ily. “Don't he absurd. If 1 had been telephoning, there was no reason why I shouldn’t give my name.” Kilday apparently dismissed the qucsti’in with a shrug. “Yon used to he in love with Doris Carmody, didn't you?” he began again. "When we were very yourvr." Webster Spears admitted. “A sort of hoy-Hnd-girl affair.” “You aren't exactly an old man now." retorted the detective bluntly. “I sunpose you feel only a brotherly inivrest in her now, eh?" “I suppose you would call It that.” “Doesn't it strike you a® odd that '!*'s Carmody’s brothers didn't even ’•are to stay for the wedding? You—for example. You didn't stay, and yon felt a very brotherly interest in her. you tell me. Ami her own brother Ryle, wasn't there either. Funny business, wasn't It?” “1 was there," declared the young man. flushing, “Yes. bit you walked out. Ami when you dirt, you told Miss Carmody that there wouldn't l»e any wedding, if Kylie were only there." Spears frownetl. “I couldn't have smd that.” he declared. “Then what diti yon say?" The young man rumpled his hair uneasily. “I don’t remember, exactly." he fbegan slowly. ”1 nmy have said that there shouldn't be any wedding .--until Rylie g<»t there. I remember r>.»t ; e>ng that he hadn't arrived yet. Yes. 1 must have made some such re mark, wh ch was misquoted when rou heard it" * “Then you never said anything to Miss CarnnAly about Rylie stopping the wedding?' ' “i»f course not." “And you never telephoned Ambrose Carmody about Choo Choo Train?" Kilday. elbows on knees, eyed the young man soberly, his glance hever wavering from the young man's face. ••’Ye've already Iwn over that.” “But you did tell Rylie about t'boo ? Choo Train?” “Yes.” 1 4 The sergeant grunted noncommittal‘ly and glahcetf toward Petert’ar tli'an. The next quest!oh came from the latter. “What did you expect would hapnen a'ter you informed Rylie Carmody about this actress?” he inquired. Shears anpeared to ponder tbe question. ,S 1 don't know that I expected anything to happen,” he answered Slowly. “It was so late. The weeding v.*as.only a few hours off. Os course. 1 am sure. If there had been rime, the Carnu <!ys would have called it off.” He smiled briefly. “1 shouldn’t have been sorry to see that happen, but I can’t say that I expected it." ••Tiffin just what was the reason you left the church?” Peter hoped this question would sound casual. I “Why. I—l had noticed that Rylie j wasn’t there. That was why 1 made I that remark to Doris. I only meant for her to hold things up until Rybe i ; arrived. I went out to look for htiA." < “Where did you go to look?"’ demanded Kilday quickly. “Rack to I Doctor Abernathy's study?" j, “1 never went near that study "de 1 j clans! the young man solterly ”1—•! , j Just waited around in front of the , ! church, expecting Rylie to arrive any minute.” •Rut he didn't." “No. A’ least If he did. I never saw him.” “I think that’s all—for the present,* ! I declared the sergeant “rm'sorry wt • j kept you away from your guests," “Guests?” Peter could not be cer- i tain but he thought he deleted an ’ abrupt change in Webster Spears’ man 1 ner, a quick gleam of emotion, as quickly veiled behind a mask of In '• difference. “I have no guests. SerI geant Kilday.* “My mistake." replied the sergeant “Your man said you were busy and I guess I jumped at conclusions” Hr picked up his hat “We won’t | bother you any further tonight. I guess it’s needle.®.® for me to advise you not to leave the city until this matter Is cleared up. It will be only 1 a few days, 1 hope. We may want to , ask you a few more questions, ynu | know." “Hi be here whenever you want me." I Spears assured him. as be ushered them to the door.
