CHAPTER XXVI, : "You're so prejudicigl!" said Vance. "But Jet us move reluctantly on. What's your picture.of Cleaver? The fact that he's familiarly called Pop couldn't called Shorty, or Bismarck being re- ferred. to as Snookums." "Cleaver has been a politician most of his life--a Tammany Hall regular. Was a ward-boss 'at twenty-five, ran a Democratic club of some kind in Brooklyn for a time; was an alderman for two terms, and practiced general law. Was appointed tax commission. er; left politics, and raised a small racing stable, Later secured an il- legal gambling concession at Saratoga, and now operates a pool-room in Jer- sey City. He's what you might call a professional sport, Loves his li- quor." "No marriages?" "None on the records. But see here: Cleaver's out of it. He was, ticketed in 'Boouton that night at half past eleven." "Is that, by any chance, the water- tight alibi you mentioned a moment ago? "In my primitive legal way I con- sidered it as such," Matkham resented Vance's question, "Tha summons was handed him at half past eleven; it's so marked and dated, And 'Boonton is fifty miles from here--a good two hours' motor ride, Therefore, Cleaver unquestionably 18ft New York 'about half past nine; and even if he'd driven directly back, he couldn't have reached here until long after the time the medical examiner dectared the girl was dead. ~ 3 "As » matter of routine, I investigat- the summons, and even spoke by phone to the officer who issued it. It was genuine enough--I ought to know --I had. it quashed." "Did this Boonton Dogberry know Cleaver by sight?" "No, but he gave me an accurate description of him. And naturally he took the car's numbe.." Vance looked at Markham with open-eyed sorrow. "My dear Markhani---my very dear Markha: an't you see that all you've actually proved is that a bu- colic traffic Nemesis handed a speed violation summons to a smooth-faced, middlesaged, stout man who was driv- ing Cleaver's car near Boonton at half past eleven on the night of the mur- der? . . . And, my wird! "Isn't that exactly the sort of alibi the old boy would arrange if he intended taking the lady's life at midnight or there- abouts?" "Come, come!" laughed Markham. 'That's' a bit too far-fetched. You'd give every law-breaker credit for con- copcting schemes of the most diabolical unning," "So I would," admitted Vance apa- thetically. "And--d'ye know?--I ra- ther fancy That's just the kind of scheme a law-breaker would concoct, if he was planning a murder, and his own life was at stake. : ~' "What really. amazes me: is the naive assumption of your investiga- tors that a murderer gives no-intelli- gent thought whatever to his future safety. It's rather touchin', y' know." Markham grunted. > "Well, you can take it from me, it was Cleaver himself who got that summons." "I dare say you're right," Vance conceded. "I merely suggested the possibility of deception, don't y* know. The only point*I really insist on- is that the fascinatin' Miss Odell was killed by*a man of subtle and superior mentality." "And I, in turn," jrirtabiy rejoined Markham, "insist that the only men of that type who touched her life in- son to do it are Mannix, Cleaver, Lind- quist and Spotswoode.

The girl chuni, then, remainsj And today we 'seek her". He lit a cigaret"and rose. "But-first we must visit Me Benjamin Browne of Seventh Avenue." Benjamin Browne was a well-known photographer of stage celebrities, with. galleries in the heart of the city's theafrical district; and as we entered the 'reception room of his luxurious studio later. that mcrfing my curi- wip as to the object of our visit was ak the breaking point. = Vance went straight to the desk, behind which sat a young worhan with flaming red hair and mascara-shaded eyes, and bowed in his most dignified manner. Then, taking a small un= mounted photograph from his pocket, he laid it before her, "I am producing.a musical comedy, mademoiselle," he. said, "and I wish to communicate with the young lady who left this picture of herself with me. .nfortunately I've misplaced her card; but as her photograph bore the imprint of Browne's, I thought you might be good enough to look in your files and tell me who she is and where I may find her." He slipped a five-dollar bill under the redge of the blotter, and waited with an air of innocent éxpectancy. The, young woman looked at him quizzically, and I thought I detected the Lint of a smile at the corners of her artfully rouged lips. ~ But after a moment she took .the photograph without a word and dis- appeared through a 'rear door. T minutes later she returned and handed Vance the picture, On the back of it jshe had written a name and address. "The young lady is Miss Alys La Fosse, and she lies at the Belafleld Hotel." . Thare was now mo doubt as to her smile. "You. really shouldn't be so careless with the addresses of your applicants--some poor girl might lose an engagement." And Nér smile sud= denly turned into soft laughter. ~ Mademoiselle," pliog Vance; with mock ousness, "in uture be guided by your warning," And with another dignified bow, we went out.
