cr^IEI I STRl ffillz&mjyk COPYRIgHT.By O.W.I & . , . CHAPTER IV. 1 y . Two Hats on a Rack. '"One casual remark of Mackenzie had given Kate a clew. Even before 1 she had explained it. Curly caught the point and began to dig for the truth. N For though he was almost a boy, the others leaned on him with the ex-pectation that in the absence of Maloney he would take the lead. In the morning he and Kate had a talk with his uncle on the subject. Not content with this, he made the whole party adjourn to the club rooms so that he might see exactly I where Luck had sat and the different places the sheepman had stood from the time he ewtered until the poker players left Together Billie Mackenzie and Alec Flandrau dramatized the scene for the young people. Mac personated the ' sheepman, came into the room, hung up his hat lounged over to the poker table, said his little piece as wen as "' fie could remember it, and passed into the next room. Flandrau, Senior, taking the role of Cullison, presently got np, lifted his hat from the rack, and went to the door. ""NVith excitement trembling In her voice, the girl asked an eager question. "Were their hats side by side like that on adjoining pegs?" '"That's how I remember it." "Both gray hats?" Curly cut In. ' "Can't be sure of that. Luck's was gray all right." Curly looked at Kate and nodded. "I reckon we know how Cass got Mr. Cullison's hat. It was left on the rack." "How do you mean?' his uncle asked. "Don't you see?" the girl explained, her eyes shining with excitement. "Father took the wrong hat. Tou know how absent-minded he is some times/' Mackenzie slapped his knee. "I'll bet a stack of blues you've guessed It." "TftereVtrway to make sure," Curly said. "Fendrlck couldn't wear Mr. Culljson's hat around without the risk of someone remembering it later. What would he do then?" Kate beamed. "Buy another at the nearest store." "That would be my guess. And the nearest store Is the New York emporium. We've got to find out whether he did buy one there on Tuesday some time after nine o'clock in the morning." * "* 1-1?? ru. The girl's eyes were spaririiuy. one bustled with businesslike energy. "I'll - go and ask right away." "Don't you think we'd better let Uncle Alec find out? He's not so likely to stir up curiosity," Curly suggested. ' Within a quai'ter of an hour Alec Flandrnu joined the others at the hotel. "You kids are right at the head of the class In the detective game. Cass bought a brown hat, about 9:30 In the mo'ning. Paid five dollars for it. Wouldn't let them deliver the old one but took it with him in a paper sack." With her lieutenants flanking her Kate went straight to the office of the sheriff. Bolt heard the story out and considered it thoughtfully. "You win, JUlss Cullison. You haven't proved Fendrick caused your father's disappearance by foul play, End yon haven't proved he committed the robbery. Point of fact I don't think he did either one. But It certainly looks like he may possibly have manufactured evidence." Curly snorted scornfully. "You're letting your friend down easy, Sir. Bolt By his own story he was on the ground a minute after the robbery took place. How do we know be wasn't there a minute before? For If he didn't know the holdup was going to occur why Mid he bring .Mr. Cullison's hat with liira punctured so neatly with bullet holes?" "Hold your liawses a while, Flnndrau, and look at this thing reasonable. You're all prejudiced for Cul; llsou and against Fendrick. Talk about evidence! There's ten times as much against your friend as there is against Cass." "Then you'll not arrest Fendrick?" "When you give me good reason to . do It," Bolt returned doggedly, i .The four adjourned to meet at the Del Alar for a discussion of ways aud V means. "We'll keep a watch on Fendrick? see where he goes, who he talks to, what he docs. Maybe he'll make a break and give himself away," Curly said hopefully. "But my father?we must rescue him first." "As soon as we find where he is. Killing him wouldn't help Cass any, because you and Sam would prove up on the claim. But if lie cnu!<j? hold your father a prisoner and got him to sign a relinquishment to him he would .he in a fine position." *' "If we could only Imve Fendrick ar rested?" "What good would that do? " If he's guilty he wouldn't talk. And df he is holding vov.r father sotnewlu:i?o in \ ^ JTOOLsj J6HT 9y cZeodJ?azn& DTLLir^G.

Let Cass ride around and meet his partners In this deal. We'll keep an eye on him, all right." "M:fybe you're right," Kate admitted with a sigh. ** *?* Sheriff Bolt, though a politician, was an honest man. It troubled him that Cullison's frierft's believed him to be a partisan in a matter of this sort. For which reason he met more than half way Curly's overtures. Young Flandrnu was in the office of the sheriff a good deal, because he wanted to keep informed of any new developments in the W. & S. robbery case. It was on one of those occasions that Bolt tossed across to him a letter he, had just opened. "I've been getting letters from the village cutup or from some crank, I don't know which. Here's a sample." The envelope, addressed evidently in a disguised hand, contained one sheet o? paper. Upon this was lettered roughly, . "PLAY THE JACK .OF HEARTS." Flandrau looked up with a suggestion of eagerness in his eyes. "What do you reckon It means?" he asked. "Search me. Like as not It don't mean a thing. The others had just as much sense as that one. 'I chucked I hem Into the waste-paper basket. One came by the morning mall yesterday and one by the afternoon. I'm no mind reader, and I've got no time to guess fool puzzles." Curly emptied the basket on the (loor and went over its contents carefully. He found three communications Ijgl na m Went Over Its Contents Oarefully. from the unknown writer. Each of them was printed by hand on n sheet of cheap lined paper torn from n scratch pad. lie smoothed them out and put them side by side on the tihle. This was what he read: "HEARTS ARE TRUMPS." "WHEN IN DOUliT PLAY TRUMPS." "PLAY TRUMPS NOW." There was only the one.line to each ntowage, and all of them were plainly in the same hand. He could make ouf only one tiling, that someone was tryi? ,rtlin Oir.rifT tnf.ieiruitInn tn a guarded way. lip was still puzzling over the thing when a hoy came with a special delivery letter for the sheriff. Jiolt glanced at ;t and handed the note to Curly. "Another billy doo from my nnxiou> friend." This time the sender had been In too much of a hurry to print the words. They were written in a stiff hand by some uneducated person. "THE JACK OF TRUMPS. TODAY.* "Ji.tia if I keep these?" Curl\ asked. * "Take 'em along." " ' Fhindrau strolled back to town along E! Molino street and down Main. lie had just crossed the old Spanish plaza wheu his absorbed gaze fell on a sign that brought him up short. In front of a cigar store stretched across the sidewalk a painted picture of u jack of hearts. The sniuc name was on the window. Fifty yards behind him was the Silver Dollar saloon, where Luck Culllson had last been seen 011 his way to the Del Mar one hundred and tifty yards in front of hint. Somewhere within that distance of two hundred yards tlie owner of the Circle C had vanished ftom the sight of men. The evidence showed lie had not reached the hotel, Cor a cattle buyer had been waiting tbere to talk with him. His testimony, as well us that of the hotel clerk, was positive. Could this little store, the Jack of Hearts, be the central point of tiie I mystery? In his search for Information Curly had already been in it. liud Douglit a cigar, andf"had. stopped to talk will; Mrs. Wylie, the proprietor. She was a washed-out little woman who had cjce been pretty. She had protested with absurd ybaruestncss that she had seen nothing of Sir. Cullison. A single glance had been enough to dismiss her from any possible sus1pleion. 1 Now Curly stepped in a second time. The frightened gaze of Mrs. Wylie fastened upon him hiutantly. He observed that her hand moved instinctively to her heart. Beyond question she was in fear. A flash of light clari fled his mind. She was a conspirator, but an unwilling one. Possibly she might be the author of the anonymous warnings sent Bolt. The young vaquero subscribed for a magazine and paid her the money. Tremblingly she filled out the receipt. He glanced at the slip and banded it back. "Just write below the signature 'of the Jack of Hearts,' so that I'll remember where I paid the money if the magazine doesn't come," he suggested. Shq did so, and Curly put the receipt in his pocket carelessly. He sauntered leisurely to the hotel, but as soon as he could get Into a telephone booth his llstlessness vanished. Moloney had returned to town and he telephoned him to 'get Mackenzie at once and watch the Jack of Hearts In front and rear. Before he left the booth Curly had compared the writing of Mrs. Wylie with that on thf sheet that had come by special delivery. Beyond question the same person had written both. Certainly Mrs. Wylie was not warning the sheriff against herself. Then against whom? He must know her antecedents, and at once. Coiling, up a local detective agency, he asked the manager to let hhn know within an 1 oil onntrl hp found XtUUA. VI l?V ~ , out about the woman without alarming her. "Walt a moment. I think we have her on file. Hold the 'phone." The detective presently returned. "Yes. We can give you the facts. Will you come to the office for them?" Fifteen minutes later Curly knew that Mrs. Wylle was the divorced wife of Lute Blackwell. He returned to the Del Mar and sent his name up to Miss Culllson. With Kate and Boh there was also In the room Alec Flandrau. The girl come forward lightly to meet-him. "Have you heard some-J tiling?" she asked quickly. "Yes. Tell me, when did your father last meet Lute Blackwell so far J as you know?" The owner of the Map of Texas answered the question of his nephew. "He met hiiu the other day. Let's see. . It was right after the big poker game. We met him downstairs here. Luck had to straighten out some notions he had got." "How?" I Flandrau, Senior, told the story of j what had occurred in me notei louuy. j "And you say he swore lo get even?" "That's what he said. And he I looked like he meant it, too." "What is It? What have you found out?" Kate implored. The young man told about the letters and Mrs. Wyllo. ^ "We've got to get a move on us," he concluded. "For if Lute Blackwell did this thing to your father it's mighty serious for him." Kf.to was while to the lips, hut Id no danger of breaking down. "Yes, If this man is in it lie would not stop nt less than murder. But I don't lielive it. . know father is alive. Cass Feudrick Is the man we want. I'm sure, of it." eon e/.)i Mi/* Infil? "i1 irsi niiiiy ia m m-tiini in*. of Hearts and see what's there. Are yon with me, Uncle Alec?" "I sure am, Curly," and he reached for his hot. Curly turned at the door with his warm smile. "By the way. I've go? some news I forgot. I know where your father got the money to pay his poker debts. Mr. Jordan of the Cat-1 tlemen's National made him a personal loan. He figured It would not hurt the bank because the three men Luck puld it to would deposit It with the bank again." "By George, that's what we did. too. every last one of us," his uncle admitted. "Every little helps," Kale said, and her little double nod thanked Curly, j Moloney met them In front of the Jack of Hearts. "Dick, you go with mo Inside. Uneif Alec, will you keep guard outside?" "No, bub, 1 won't. 1 knew Luck before you were walking howlegged,' the old cattleman answered brusquely. Curly yinticd. "All right. Don't blame me if you get shot up." Mrs. Wylle's startled eyes told talet when she saw the three men. ITer face was ashen. "I'm here to play trumps, Mrs. W'y lie. What secret has the Jack oi j Hearts got hidden from us?" youm Flandrau demanded, his" hard eye: fastened to her timorous ones. "I?I?I don't know what you moan.' "No use. We're here for business Dick, you stay with her. Don't le her leave or shout a warning." He passed into the hack room which was a kind of combination I'v ing room, kitchen ami bedroom. / door led from the rear into a hurl yard littered with empty parkin cases, garbage cans ami waste pape: After taking a look around the .raphe locked the baek dour noistlrssh There was no other apparent exit fmn the kitchen-bedroom except the on by wbicli lie and bis uncle bad n. tercd from the simp.

Any bad men down there already had the drop cm them. Therefore neither Curly nor his uncle made the mistake of drawing a weapon. "I'm coming down, boys," young Flnndrau announced in a quiet confident voice. "The place is surrounded by our friends and it won't do yovj n whole lot of good to shoot me op. 'I'd advise you not to be too Impulsive." Ho descended the steps, his factlike a stone wall for all the emotion it recorded. At his heels came the older man. Curly struck a match, found an electric lnilb above his head and turned the button. Instantly the darkness was driven from the cellar. '' The two Flnndraus wore quite alone in the room. For furniture there was a table, a cot which had been slept in and not made. up. and a couple of rougli chairs. The place had no windows, no n.eans of ventilation except throhgh the trap door. Yet there were evidences to show that it bad recently been inhabited. Half-smoked cigars littered the floor. A pack of cards lay in disorder on the table. The Sentinel with date line of that day lay tossed in a corner. "Make anything out of it?" the older Finndran asked. > "lie's been here, but they've taken him away. Will you cover the telephoning? Have all the ranches notified that Luck is being taken into the hills, so they can picket the trails." "IJow do you know he is being taken there?" "I don't know. I guess. Black well Is In It. He knows every nook of tlir^ bills. The party left here not two hours since, looks like." | Curly put the newspaper in hlspockof onri imi (ho ivnv hnek fo the store. "The birds have down, Dick. Made their getaway through .the alley late this afternoon, probably just after It got dark." He turned to the woman. "Mrs. Wylie, murder Is going to be done, I shouldn't wonder. And you're | liable to be held guilty of it unless I you tell us all you know." She began to weep, helplessly, but with a sort of stubbornness, too. Frightened she certainly was, but some ! greater fear held her silent as to the secret. "I don't know anything about it," she repeated over and over. Maloney had an Inspiration. He spoke In a low voice to Curly. "Let's take her to the hotel. Miss Kate will j know how to get It out of her better than we can." Mrs. Wylie went with them quietly enougn. sue was 5im.is.eij wuu icuis, | but still resolute not to speak. They might send her to prison. She would tell them nothing?nothing at all. For i some one who had made terror the habit of her life had put the fear of death Into her soul. (To be Continued).
