You‘ve been checking on the wrong man. I‘m sure you have, sergeant." "No Matter What Happens" She tried to make her words forceful, but she slumped back in her chair, a look of defeat in her eyes. It couldn‘t be true, it simply couldn‘t! Yet there was so much she didn‘t understand. Jim‘s hasty trip to Utah, for example. And his oftâ€"repeated cry: "Oh, Cilly, it I could only marry you now! You‘ll wait for ma, won‘t you? You‘ll beâ€" lieve in me, no matter what?" right for him to lead you to beâ€" lieve that he came from Chicago, He probably considered the fact that his father was in jail reagon enough to deceive you.

"You‘ve been misled by that timeâ€" table in Amy‘s bag. Jim doesn‘t come from Utahâ€"he‘s from Chi cago." "That‘s what he told you."

"I don‘t believe it!" Sergeant Dolan‘s eyes softened. He felt a littlo sorry for the girl. It was obvious that her surprise was genvine. Pretty tough for her, to have her best friend killed by her sweetheart. "I‘m sorry, Miss Piorce," he said.

Dolan continued : "For many years the elder Kerr enjoyed a pretty good reputation in Bluetields. Then along came the "Their fathers," Dolan went on, "were natives of Interlaken, N. H., as was Aunt Harriet. James Allen Kerr went west many years ago. He found a job in a bank, marâ€" ried ~and settlod down. Things went pretty nicely for him: in time he was made vice president of the Bluefields National Bank. He had one son, James Allen Kerr, Jr., whom you know as Jim Kerâ€" rigan. Out in Blusfields, he was known by his middle nameâ€"as Allan Kerr." "Cousins?" Cilly interrupied in surprise. Jim and Amy cousins? Then that explained the recogniâ€" tion in Amy‘s eyes when Cilly inâ€" troduced Jim to her. That explainâ€" ed Jim‘s note to her. He had surâ€" mised all along that the Amy Kerr who lived with Cilly might be his own cousin. Aud Amy, dedr loyal soul, knowing the secrot of his father, pretended not to know him, Except, of course, that she couldn‘t bave hidden the happiness in her eyes at seeing him, or the friendly spirit that linked them uncon sciously. If this were trve, then, the very idea of Jim harming Amy was utterly ridienious. . . . "If we find out," Dolan went on, "that this Wheeler woman has really skipped, it might be well to look into hor past. She might be the connecting link. Meanâ€" while, let‘s get back to this Kerâ€" riganâ€"Kerr case. It‘s not a pretty picture." Cilly listened apathetically. "As I told you, Kerrigan‘s not the gontleman‘s right name. His name is also â€"Kerr: he and Amy Kerr were first cousinsâ€"â€"" They Were First Cousins Cilly thought of that, and felt just a little ill, Instead of helping Jim, she had aided Dolan in buildâ€" ing a tighter case. "No, Miss Pierce," he said, "I won‘t tell you that. Frankly, I don‘t believe you did. But someâ€" body did. Let‘s suppose it was the person who threw away those Bluefields newspapers." "No, I don‘t Sergeant Dolan." Cilly‘s dark eyes f@rshed. "I don‘t know the rest. 1 don‘t know how Jim got down from the room after heâ€"after Amy was killed. Supâ€" pose you tell me that. But don‘t tell me now that you think 1 hid him in my apartment until alter you left." to tell you. He slipped her that note, asking her to meet him on the roof. Perhaps he tried to make her promise to keep her mouth shut. But she was fond of you; she didn‘t want to see you tied to the wrong sort of man. So she reâ€" fused, And thenâ€"well, you know the rest." "Amy Korr knew all about the old man. Kerrigan didn‘t want her "Plenty, Miss Pierce, plenty. It provides the motive for the killâ€" ing." "What if this is true?" she doâ€" manded. "What if Jim Kerrigan‘s father is in jail? He did not want to tell me because I would be unâ€" happy about it, raturally. But what has it to do with the murder of Amy Kerr?" what! If this were true about his father, it was no fault of Jim‘s, She believed in him‘!‘ She held her chin a little higher as she looked into Sergeant Dolan‘s eyes. «6 How *?" oas mm on im ts J nc A8 "I may be wrong, Miss Piorce. But I don‘t think so. It all {its together too perfectly. Kerrigan knew Amy Kerr, or he wouldn‘t have asked her to meet him alone on the roof. You can understand that. If it were just a case of his meeting her for the first time and being attracted to her, there were a dozen ways he could have arrangâ€" ed to meet her again. It wasn‘t that. They knew each other. They were ‘pretty close to each other. The Father Identified . "Amy‘s parents, by the way, died some years ago. Aunt Harriet raised her, When the old lady died, Amy ‘went west to live with" her uncle and this young‘ cousin. I guess Kerrâ€"or Kerrigan â€" was mighty glad to see her,. She was his only link with Bluefields, and he wanted to hear what had hapâ€" pened since his departure. It was . a natural gesture for him to sugâ€" gest a meeting up on the | roof "That may be a fact to you," Cilly said firmly. "Weo‘ll grant that this Allan Kerr did just that, But you haven‘t proved that Jim Kerâ€" rigan is Allan Kerrâ€"â€"not by any means." "He did. novertheless. Oh, what‘s the use, Miss Pierce? I admire your loyalty to the fellow, but you‘ve got to face the facts. And the fact is that he skipped with $50,000 which his father stole." A Catch Somewhere Cilly shook her head dully. "The story isu‘t true," she in sisted. "There‘s a catch some where.

Lost his home, I vnderstand, and most of his stock holdings. What bothered him most, it seems, was that the future lcoked so dark for his son. Apparently he idolized the boy.

If a friend accompaniecs the child instead of the parent the patient is a lot easier to handle. Dr. H. W. Baker said. "I find in one hundred per cent of the casâ€" es that if the child comes alone, or with a playmate, there is less likely to be a scene than if the parent comes along," he added. Alone, Or With Friend If a child realizes that he or she has to go to the dentist alone, then that child will buck up and face the music without a bit of fuss. Local dentists, said the Stratâ€" ford Beaconâ€"Herald agreed that parents would be well advised tc let their children make solo visits to the dental office when those visits are necessary, The general feeling is that it‘s a lot easier to approach a child when he or she is alone than if there is a symâ€" pathizing parent in the backâ€" ground to listen to any outery, The outcry probably would never come if the pasent was not there to hear it. The parent who takes his child to the dentist‘s office with the asâ€" surance "This dentist won‘t hurt you one little bit," is probably doing more to harm the dentist‘s apprcach to the child than the parent realizes.
