He asked the question with malicious smile that made Neiil uneasy. He regretted that Kettering had been told, who he was.

Kettering smiled, "Well, they say a word to the wise is sufficient." He went into the store, leaving Neill in a state of inward confusion, Kettering's words had the sound of a threat.

What was Kettering's interest in the matter? How much did he know? Were the Ketterings Connected with the events of the night before? He was still looking for the answers Bonniger came up They rowed out to the Nadji, tak- ing Walter, thesteward, with them 'to answer any questions about the yacht that might-arise. Walter was a blond, characterless young man, still badly shaken by his experiences of the past 24 He smoked one cigarette after another. On the yacht they found Constable Forsythe. Walter was left with him while Bonniger and Neill went below. cabins showed the effect ol the crowds 'thrft had swarmed through them on the previous day, Practically everything movable had been carried away for souvenirs.

The lock on the door of the after cabin which had been partly wrenched off when the door Was forced, was now missing. "How do they expect me to reconstruct what happened?" grumbled Bonniger. They stood in the doorway without-speaking, searching the little cabin foot by foot. It was a luxurious room with a pair of twin beds, seat lockers under the portholes on each.side and a capacious, chintz, covered easy chair. At the foot of the beds an ugly brown stain had dried on the rug.

Neill's eyes new to the door of the clothes cupboard to the left of the beds. The sight of it stirred up painful feelings in him. He would have liked to believe that the real killer of Prescott Fanning had locked himself in that closet, but the story was too far-fetched. Building Up Theories DQNNIGER said: "All agree that Fanning was found lying on 5 his back with his feet to the Boor (and his head near the foot of the bed on the left as you look in. That's where the blood stain is.

He 'must have been moved the instant he fell, because there's no blood anvwhere else in the room." Neill was not inclined to help iBohniger out in his reasoning. I he was moved," Bonniger went on, "because a man shot in the back naturally falls on his face, especially if he's leaning forward. The bullet entered the base of Tanning's skull, came out of his. forehead and then struck the drawer under the port seat It was almost spent and has only a slight dent in the wood. Its course indicates that Fanning was bending far over when he was shot.

If the easy chair where they say it was, he was bending over that chuir. Do you agree?" "Absolutely." said Neill grimly. "You'd beat a professional!" Bonniger shook his head like a puzzled dog. "Every theory I try urbiiild up runs into a contradiction. The most natural explanation is that Fani ng broke in the door with the.

intention of attacking the if he had such an aim, why'had he given her a key to lock hdrselfin with?" "Perhaps he had no such intention fin the beginning," suggested NeilL "Perhaps he didn't expect to be repulsed, and when he was repulsed he went crazy." "That's a possibility. But having broken in violently, how could he ba to foolish as to let the girl get behind him?" Neill shrugged his shoulders. He went to the door of the clothes closet and tried it. It was locked. "We ought to have a look in here.

I'll ask Walter where the key is." Charge Johnny Roy Bradley, Henry Grimmett, William Gilleland, Jap Morris, John Ritchie Usrey, Mosc Zavelo Vince Abbene. He spoke to the steward from the companionway. "Where is the key to the clothes closet in the after cabin?" "Isrt't it in the door?" returned Walter. "If it was, I wouldn't be asking you for it." "It has always been in the door." "Was it in the door when you discovered the body?" "I couldn't tell you that, air. I didn't notice such things." "Are there any duplicate keys?" "There's a bunch of keys in the pantry.

I'll fetch them." Neill returned to Bonniger the After trying several, he was able to unlock door and throw it open. The closet was empty. "Have you your magnifying glass?" he asked. It was handed over. "What'g In your mind?" "Nothing as yet.

But it Menu funny that anybody should make away with the 1 Before using the glass, Neill pounced on a little bright object lying on the floor of the closet. "Look at thist" he cried. It was a tiny spoon-shaped piece of nickel that had been broken off another ipiece, Bonniger turned over on his hand. "Ditj you know what it 1 is?" "Sure. It's for cleaning out the bowl of It's part of a little combination gadget that is sold to smokers." Neill had dropped to his knees and was searching the floor of the closet through the glass.

"Lqpkl" he said, handing over the of bread and shreds of tobacco." Bonniger looked. "What do you make of that?" he asked. Neill crumbled some of the bread and some of the tobacco between thumb and finger. "The bread is dry, but not completely dry," he said. "The tobacco is fairly fresh.

It cannot have lying there more than two days. Within the past '48 hours some man has been concealed in this closet. While he was shut up here he ate some bread and he filled his pipe." "He couldn't smoke his pipe if he was hiding." "He coUldnM, light it, but a confirmed smoker gets a certain amount of satisfaction out of a dry smoke." Neill was picking up shreds of tobacco, examining them under the glass and tasting them. "He smoked a mixture containing Latakia, burley and perhaps other tobaccos. It would be an expensive mixture." "Well, I'm damned!" said Bonniger.

"This puts a new complexion on the case!" "Are you telling me?" cried Neill. He was so happy he could hardly play his part. Janet had not lied to him. It was not she who had shot Fanning. 'They're Both ONNIGER argued quite differently.

"Now know where the man came from," he said. "She brought him on board with her!" "What!" cried Neill. "Sure! It's as plain as a pikestaff! No wonder she came aboard willingly. It was a job between the two to get Fanning." "What for?" "For his. money and valuables.

We don't know what has been taken. The girl invited Fanning into her cabin, and while she was keeping him occupied, her confederate sneaked up behind and shot him. It all fits together. It doesn't matter which of the two shot him. They're both guilty!" Neill rubbed his lip.

This was ridiculous, but it was dangerous too. According to his premises, Bonniger's reasoning was perfectly correct. Janet was innocent, but every hour that passed strengthened the case against her. It would fatal to come out into the open until he could produce the real tiller. Neill said dryly: "If you are right, how about the door?" Oh, when they went out they would kick the door and then sreak it in to make it appear as if Fanning had asked for what he got.

After they had broken in the door they would put the key on the inside." It was an ingenious explanation hough perfectly false. Neill hought: By God, as long as I live will never convict a man on circumstantial evidence! He said: 'Well, anyhow, our job is to catch he man." "And the girl," added Bonniger. A new anxiety seized Neill. If lonniger gave the press this new slant on the case, popular opinion would run high against the missing So far, public opinion had indulgent towards her because it was believed that she had lured aboard the yacht. But f.

people thought thatshe had plot- ed with another man to bring about Fanning's death, every hand would be raised against her. The thought suddenly leaped nto Neill's mind: Eyster! That's who it was! It is exactly the razy sort of thing he would do! These were the "arrangements" he alked about. He was always watching and following Fanning. He sneaked aboard the yacht! It was Eyster who shot Fanning and hat why he's sucking up to me iowl 193T, if of Co-Stars ana Eleanor I. I M.G.M.

Musical Will Play Three Days Broadway pricks up Its drooping ears like an old 'fire horse at the sound of the alarm as "Broadway of 1938" gayly from Hollywood. The studio raided Broadway most of the talent which appears this spectacular new film which comes to the Rialto Theatre Sunday. Only Robert Taylor, co-slars with Eleanor Powell, strictly a product of the screen. Powell, of course, scintillated on the stage long before she tapped her way to cinematic fame. The combination appeared in "Broadway Melody of 1936," before the handscmc young college boy attained the topmost rung of the Hollywood ladder.

Miss Powell is positively brilliant in her dances. Sophie Tucker, Broadway perennial for many years, now carries on in the studio; and with her in thi.i amazing picture are George Murphy. Binnic Buddy Ebsen, Judy Garland, Charles Igor Gorin, Raymond Walbiun Robert Benchley. Willie Howard.

FASHION- FAVORITES By DOROTHY CAREW United Press Staff Correspondent Paris (UP). The hair line is definitely on the upgrade. Just as important as the choice in full clothes is the choice in coiffures. Hair is going to be cut shorter than ever this fall, with a revealed forehead practically a must. This trend is due to tin new hats for fall and winter wear, which are designed with upward shooting brims and reveal more- hair than ever before.

Curls, for a very practical reason, too, will be worn high off the neck. After all, the collars of fur coats are hardly careful with long, trailing bobs. Little, tight curls are in favor, cut short and brushed to about the level of the hair-line. There will be curls fashioned straight across the back of the kead, or worn in tight, little bunches high off tin- forehead or at either side of I)n- face. Bangs are worn only if curled and combed back from the foiv- head, depending, of course, on tintype of hat worn.

If a hat i.s discarded for the more formal occasions, glittering ornaments are deftly placed the hair. Jeweled bobby-pins, combs and clips are excellent. Even ribbons are effective and flatter the youthful wearers. Feathers, too, are a high light and especially enhance tin new coiffure. An interesting arrangement, if the profile is good, i.s a clusici 1 of lotus flowers, running I'ruin back to front t'o the head.

Another one, for those who have bunch of violets, perched at tin 1 peak, 'Eletfnor Powell, Robert Taylor and the Glorified Girls of Broad way Melody of 1938" "Sophie Lang" Back In A New Picture One of -the -spiciest myctery- adventure stories of the season, "Sophie Lang Goes West," comes to the Rialto on Wednesday.
