He did not- offer to shake hands. “We wanted to know why you were so anxious to stop Doris Carmody’s wedding this afternoonT* Kilday In quired bluntly. The question caught the young man off balance. “I?

Peter felt that It was bis method of sparring for time. —“Yes," he admitted finally,—“1 ln-- that there shouldn’t be any Mill Rylie get there. I remember noticing that he hadn’t arrived yet Tea.

I heard gossip of it at the club. After that, I made some inquiries which sub stantiated what I had heard, so I in formed Rylie.” “When was It you heard this gos sip?” Peter Interjected. Spears glanced at *hlm quickly. “Only this morning. Two chaps at the next table were discussing the wed ding—feeling sorry for the Carmodys. They mentioned this actress. That angered me, of course. You see,” he shrugged dapper shoulders,.“Rylie and Doris have been almost brother and sister to me. We have grown up t<K gether.

Maybe not 1 think you answered that question yourself a bit ago. Perhaps Bullis doesn’t want to identify the woman he saw in the study because she heard all that passed between him and Franklin. It’S entirely possible she knows toor much. No-o-o, Peter, we’re not through with this girl yet, by any means. Nor with Bullis, either.” And then, moee to himself than to his companion, he added, Td like to he watching those two, the first time thej meet” Because both Callis Shipley and Rylie-Carmody had referred to Web ster Spears as the man who had been the source of information regarding Choo Choo Train, it was decided that they would question him next And here a surprise awaited them. The Spears home was a private house, the last to linger in a neigh borhood of apartment buildings which towered around it At the curb be fore It, two cars were parked, a road ster and a sedan. This particularly attracted their attention, because it was necessary for them to park In front of the apartment house next door. * “We want to see Mr. Webster Spears,” Kilday Informed the butler who answered his ting. T’m very sorry, sir. Mr. Spears Is busy.' He cannot be disturbed.” “I’m sorry, too,” said the detective, exhibiting his badge In the palm of his hand. “This Is once hell have to be disturbed.’*.. _1 After a wait of several minutes, dur ing which Kilday tersely summarized the evidence as it touched this man, Spears entered the room. Not more than twenty-five, he was of that slen der build which emphasised the nicety ef his grooming. His features, molded ner,. a quick gleam of emotion, as quickly veiled behind a mask of in difference. “I have no guests, Ser geant Kilday.” “My mistake,” replied the sergeant. “Your man said you were busy and I guess I jumped at conclusions.” He picked up his hat. “We won’t bother you any further tonight I guess it’s needless for me to advise you not to leave the city until this matter Is cleared up. It wlli\be only a few days, I hope. WH may want to ask you a few more questions, you know.” “I’ll be here whenever you want me.” Spears assured him, aa he ushered them to the door. Kiiday walked down the steps in silence. “No.guests, eh? He didn’t like that question, did he, Peter?" His grip tightened about his friend’s arm aa they strode past the two cars parked at the curb. “Help me remember those license numbers. We’ll soon find out who’s visiting here and why he doesn’t wapt us to know it” When he reached his oton^car, he jotted down the numbers he had noted. Recently we beard a learned pub licist discoursing eloquently on the Joys of human service. He pictured the great satlsfdction he had himself experienced in doing things for others. Ip fact he was so pleased with the Idea that he urged everybody to im* itate his example 1 Here was a good man who thought he had discovered something new. He was as tickled with his discovert as a boy with a new pair of skates. ( He was almost as proud as If hb had found the secret at perpetual motion. Evidently he didn’t realize that all he had done was to rediscover the Gold en Rule. Very likely he didn’t know that'Jesus had laid down this rale ss one of the foundation principle* of Christianity .and that Socrates and many other great moral leaders in different ages had preached the aame thing. ^Tbis man has probably never lived In the country or in a small town; where people ail know their neigh bors and where they have to be mutu ally helpful. He has probably always lived in cities, where the people are so self-satisfied that th!} will have nothing to do with their next door neighbors. Suddenly the realization has come to this man that life of smug isolation and personal seclusion and selfishness Is wrong, and tfiat hu man beings should think more about their brothers. To this man this feel ing has come as a new revelation, and be Is so enthusiastic about his dis covery that he thinks he has found the universal key fo peace and hap piness. This la splendid.

Peter found himself wondering whether or not the tone was assumed. The detective studied the glowing ash of his cigar, “You didn’t give him your name,” he continued. “But you must realize that you've talked to Mr. Carmody often enough that he couid recognize your voicq." Kilday was trying a shot in the dark. “What was the idea of that anonymous call, Spears?

Did you?” __ Spears looked at the sergeant stead ily. “Don’t be absurd.
