"A thing like that couldn't happen because it would get on the nerves of the people that's spendin' their good money. I know." "Oh. Lord!" groaned Manager Carl prayerfully. "My diningroom! Ruin! The police captain's lips pursed in a whistle. "The diningroom. eh?" There was amazed surprise in his voice. "A murder pulled in a crowd ed restaurant!" His tone on the last exclamation was one of snappish in credulity. "That is where you will find the body." The blind man spoke very casually; his whole attention on the match he was holding at his clgaret end. "What d'ye mean by that?" The po lice official turned upon the agitated manager to growl the question. "There is nothing subtle about a plain declarative sentence. The body is In the diningroom, seated at a table, with one hand loosely around the stem of a wineglass." "Poison, eh?" "If you know of a poison that causes slashes of the wrist arteries yes." , "Slashed wrists!" Captain Mc | Mann's eyes narrowed once more to ; pin points as he stared at the blind J man to see whether or not he was |in earnest. Then he remembered the | futility of trying to read the problem ist's expression. He whirled on Carl. "Is that true?" he demanded. I The manager's expression was answer j enough. "Show me where it is!" he i ordered. "My God, man!" pleaded Carl. "Can't you wait for an hour or so, till the diningroom is closed?

TO-MORROW i ROBERT EDESON .in "THE FATHERS OF MEN" room with a dead man, I would be ruined!" "That cuts a whole lot of ice along side a murder!" snapped the captain. "Putting a few sordid dollars above a human life!" A black scowl came to his face as he saw the blind man smile at the obvious quotation. "Oh. I suppose your so devilish smart you've got the whole thing solved?" he sneered. "We start pretty even on this case, captain." There was no trace of ran cor in the problemist's tone; but the tolerance there was maddening. For years Colton and the police had been sworn enemies. The paid investi gators of the city always resented the blind man's presence at the scene of a crime. Time after time he had shown them the falsity of their prem ises. and his reasoning had led hi fc unerringly to the solution of the mys tery when the police detectives had been circling wildly. Of all the hun dreds of detectives and policemi h whom Colton knew, but a scant ha.'/ dozen or so ever appreciated his abil ity or help. The others, with the su periority of professionals in all lines, went out of their way to confuse the blind man whenever possible. So Cap tain McMann curved his lips in a wider sneer as he said: "We won't be that way long. That luck of yours can't last forever." "A race for the solution?" It was but a quiet question, but there was a challenge in it that the captain took up instantly. He nodded. "Try out your fool theories." It was his turn to adopt the tolerant tone, and he took full advantage of it. "This looks as though it might be a real case, and a thing for practical men, not amateurs." "Very well." Colton rose, with an assumed languidness that concealed the physical and mental tenseness of a hound held in leash the instant be fore release. "You haven't any ob jections. I hope, to my waiting till the coroner arrives?" "Go as far as you like—as far as you like!" granted Captain McMann, with magnanimity. "You aren't really going into mv diningroom while all the people are there?" Manager Carl had come to life again. "Come on!" Captain McMann said brusquely, as he started for the door. "I'll get a line on this thing before the cor' gets here." With his hand on the knob, he turned, as he remem bered something. "Like to know how, I got wise so quick, wouldn't you, 1 Colton?" he asked, with a grin of knowledge withheld. A slight motion of the problemist's hand dismissed the possibility. "Immaterial," he declared. "Salient facts are all I ever worry about. I haven't the police practicability, you see." "Oh! O-oh!" The two exclamations were almost a chuckle. "Wise to the j fact that I wasn't going to hand up eh?" | "Something like that." Colton rose and took from his pocket the strange note reserving the table. "Here's that papyrus table reservation, Mr. Carl. I'm through with it." The superior grin faded from the captain's face with a suddenness that opened his mouth and caused a gasp ing sound to come from his lips be fore he jumped forward with out stretched hand. "Let's see that! Give it here!" The blind man extended it politely. Looks exactly like the one you got doesn't it. captain?" he queried. The captain's eyes seemed fairly to jump from the note to search the ex pressionless face of the blind man "How did you know that?" he de manded, anger in his voice. "You have just told me. Merely the proof ot one of the theories you consider so uselessly foolish." "Clever!" Carl put in the compli ment excitedly, evidently not ill-pleas ed at anything that reflected on the police captain. Colton paid no attention, but went on: "lo save your practical men the trouble of tracing that curious paper through a hundred mills, I'll tell you that it is papyrus, made of crushed reeds that grow only in Egypt. Ma terial like it for conveying the written word hasn't been manufactured for two thousand years." "Huh!" The captain's grunt was suspicious, his face still showed the flush of anger the manager's exclam ation had brought. "Why are vou so anxious to give this information?" "Merely so that we can start out even, that's all." Thornley Colton's tone was impatient. "I've tried to help you and your men out several times, and you've always taken this supercilious attitude. I welcome this opportunity to match my wits with your the pause before the next word was pregnant with meaning—"prac- ticability." He dropped his cigaret in an ash tray on the desk, locating it with his fingers without turning his head. "If you want to get ahead of the coroner you'd best hustle," he ob served quietly. "This is Bierbauer's district, and his car with the loose chain drive he never seems to have time to fix has just drawn up to the I curb outside." Again Captain McMann shot him a i suspicious look, and some subtle sixth ; sense of the blind man seemed to in ; stantly detect it. "Another of the papyrus notes," he i made answer simply. "When I get time, I'm goin' to find yoU , know •" Promised Captain McMann grimly, as he opened ' the door, silencing Manager Carl's unvoiced protest without a single look.
