Jimmy, as he is called, announces he has planned a theatre party for the family, which includes his mother and sister, JANET. He intends, also, to include BARRY COLVIN, Janet's fiance. Henry Rand is a staunch uphold- er of all the homely virtues, includ- ing that of punctuality, which is al- most a religion with him. When, on the night of the party, he fails to put in his accustomed appearance at quarter to six the family becomes alarmed, While they are wondering, thé phone rings. Jimmy answers it. It is the police. Henry Rand's body has been found in a room at the Can field Hotel, Jimmy goes to the hotel. His fa- ther is in a gas-filled. room that had been registered for by H, A. Jones of New York. Police believe it is sucide. Jimmy doesn't agree. A woman's handker- chief is found in the voom. The coroner arrives and discovers a small welt at the back of Henry Rand's head. While they are talk- ing, Jimmy discovers the yellow stub of a theatre ticket, evidently used two nights before. CHAPTER VL "Not much to go on, Rand, but bet- ter than nothing." Detective Mooney folded his wallet, in which he had just replaced the yellow theater stub and the handkerchief, The train was pulling into Chicago. "As far as I'm concerned," observed Mooney as they were leaving the Pull- man, "the first thing to do is to get in touch with the local police. Courtesies of the profesh, you know." "oe continued, more seriously, "I'll [oto let the detective bureau know I'm and what for. Chances are they'll be gtd to give us a lift if they can be of any use. After that I'm darned if I know our next move, un- less it's to go down to this Paragon Theater and see if there's any chance of running down the guy who bought this ticket." He ta ped his chest, where the wallet ae ap in the inner pocket of. his coat. "There's about as much chance of doing that," he added, "as of finding a needle in a haystack." "But still a chance," Jimmy persist- "Well, I'm not overlooking any bets, no matter how sfim they look. Give me credit for that." "Look here, Mooney," Jimmy has- tened to add at sight of the other's in- jured look, "don't think I have any idea that this thing is going to be cleared up in a day. I haven't. As a matter of fact, I've come here prepar- ed to stay for some time and the first thing. I'm going to do is to hunt up a rooming house and a job. I haven't the slightest idea of how to go about these story-book amateur detectives. I'm darn glad you're along with me, Mooney. "I have an idea, though, that I can be of some help. Besides," he added, "when we catch this--this man we're looking for, Mooney, I want to be there." Mooney looked at him shrewdly. "So that's #h€ way the land lies," he said, "I've an idea, Rand, that you in- tend to make it hot for this customer if you do find him. Look here, now," he turned on Jimmy, "you'll not be pull ing any rough stuff on anybody while I'm along. The law will take care of em." ' Jimmy was staring vacantly at the nat answer. When he spoke he gave no indication that he had even heard. "While you're down at police head- quarters, Mooney, I'll be locking around for some place to live, and per- haps for a job. "And if I want to do any job hunting," He added. "I'll have to get a hustle on, Today is Saturday and most places will be having a half holiday. Suppose I meet you at two o'clock." "Two o'clock," agreed Mooney, "In front of the Paragon Theater. We might as well start out on the right foot." Jimmy's search for 'suitable living quarters was short. He found what he was looking for after answering a couple of classified "ads." It was a large room, and spotlessly clean: with a double bed, two comfort- of dresser. The bath was Bearhy. in the hall. running down a clew. I'm not one of | passing crowd in the station. He did} bi There was even a telephone--an ex- tension of the one downstairs. Mrs. King, the landlady, a tall, angular wo- man with a tired look in her eyes, ex- plained that the gentleman who had been occupying the room and who had just moved out--"to get married" -- had been particularly insistent on hav- ing a phone in his room. "Of course, if you don't want it" she added, "we can have it taken out. It will cost you 50 cents f week extra." "I think I'll have it," decided Jim- my. "How much is the rent?" "Eight- fifty a week, with the phone --in advance." "Here's a week's rent," Jimmy hand- ed her the money and she stuck it in the large pocket of her checked ging- ham apron. "The phone, Mr.-- Mr--" "Rand," supplied Jimmy, Rand." "About the phone, Mr. Rand, You can use it all you want for outgoing calls. The incoming calls ring at the one downstairs, I've have to call you when someone phones you and you can answer it right here." Jimmy walked to the window and looked out. The room was on the second floor, front, and overlooked a neatly kept yard in a neighborhood where business was fast changing what apparently had once been a desir- able residential district. What especially pleased Fimmy about the room was its nearness to downtown, Close enough to walk to and from work, he thought, and there would have to be strict economy. A saving of car fare would help. He washed and changed into fresh linen. Then, armed with his news- paper, he set out in search of a job... Where his search for a room, though, had been short and successful, his job hunt was long and fruitless. It seemed to him that he had been going up and down elevators all morning, only to firid that some successful ap- plicant had been ahead of him or tg listen to the polite "regrets" of office managers' and other executives who murmured hazily something about "lack of experience, Sorry." He met Mooney promgptiy at two. The lobby of the Paragon Theater was crowded, it being Saturday matinee. "When the crowd gets inside," de- clared Mooney, jerking his thumb to- ward the entrance, "we'll have a few words with the bird who sells the tic- kets." "It does seem like a waste of time," admitted Jimmy forlornly. "Like talk- ing a shot in the dark." "Who's throwing cold water now?" jeered the little detective. "This morn- "James ing you were saying it was a chance, at least." The lobby gradually "Come on," said Mooney, that chance now." "Sold out for the matinee," the young man behind the barred window informed them before Mooney could ask his question. "We're not lookin' for matinee tic- kets," replied Mooney. "Advance sale over at the other win- dow," The young man was prepyring to close up for the afternoon. "Not so fast, brother, not so fast. emptied. "we'll take "We want to get some information." Mooney pulled back his coat and allow- ed the ticket seller a glimpse -of his badge. "Do you ever keep a record here of the people who buy tickets?" "What do you mean, keep a record?" The man, behind the window was scornful, and annoyed at being held "Here" s what I mean," Mooney per- sisted. "Suppose John Smith calls up and asks for a reservation on Monday night. Would you have a record of the seat you had laid aside for him?" "Not after he had called for it. We write his name on an envelope and hold the ticket until a certain time. If he doesn't call for it by then we put it on sale. If he does, he takes the enve- lope with his name on it." "We've got a ticket stub here," put in Jimmy, "and we're trying to locate the man who used it. I suppose we're crazy to bother you, but it's pretty im- portant." There was frank friendliress in his voice, and the ticket seller appeared mollified. "That's all right, you're not both- ering me. I'll be glad to help you out if I can, but there isn't much we can do about it. It's almost like trying to trace the purchaser of a yard of. rib- bon ina department store. Let me see the ticket." He held out his hand, - Mooney took out his wallet and fish- ed out the handkerchief and the yel- fow stub. He replaced the hanger. HIG chief and fossed the stub beneath the brass wirlfow grating. The youhg man picked it up and studied it. "Mondon night, November 25th," he read. "That was last Monday night" He refurned to the stub again. "Row H, Section C, Seat 31." He look- ed at Mooney and Jimmy and phrug- ged. "I might have sold the ticket my- self, friends, but I'm darned if i could tell you who bought it. "Well, thanks very much fgr your trouble--" began Jimmy. "Wait a minute," The man behind the window had picked up a seating chart. "There's an outside chance that this seat might bg a permanent reser- vation. We have quite a few seats laid away for regular patrons. and H Cen- ter is a pretty good seat. H.m-m, let me see," His forefinger raced over the floor plan. "By gosh, you're in luck!" he cried excitedly. He reached for a little leath- er bound book and opened it. "This record says that Seat H31 is reserved every Monday night by Thomas Fog- arty--address Mayfair Hotel, A chance in a million, and you hit it." "Imagine that!" Jimny exclaimed softly. "Just imagine it, Mooney. The luck of it." Mooney was. still string at the tic- ket seller. Finally he found speech. "Thomas Fogarty I" he ejaculated. "That's big Tom Fogarty, I'll bet a million dollars! One of these' hard-boiled palitical bosses and as crooked a bird as ever managed testay on the outside of a jail" (To Be Continued.)

The concert and tea put on by the Ladies' Aid, last week, in the Unit- ed 'Church, was quite an enjoyable affair and the cafeteria way of serv- ing lunch by having the congregation go in one way to the vestry and out at the other side of the pulpit was quite interesting only that it was a little slow especially for those who were the last to be served. The pro- gramme was quite enjoyed by all presént. There were recitations by Mrs. Harrison (nea M. Arkells) who visited Comnsecon for the occasion: also there were musical number: and a trio of three girls who sang in ha ny without instrumental ac- com iment. Mrs. Dass very kind ly gave her services to make up the programme. Her first number was a group of songs, "Nothin'™ and "Mighty Lak a Rose." Mrs. Dass' no voice did full justice to these seled{ions and for an encore she sang " le's Dieam," an io- cident in the Relief of Lucknow, which was exceedingly well render- ed and the accompaniment of Scot- tish martial music added to the vividness. Two duets also were well rendered by Mrs. Dass and Mrs. MacDonald entitled "Lullaby." and "Life's Dream is O'er." F. Ward has been delivering wood in the village this week.
