“I see,” Itankin nodded. "In
your own way, Blake, tell me ex
actly what happened. At what
time did he arrive.”
“About twelve-fifteen, yester
day afternoon: and the car turned
into the station driveway, right
beside the cabstand. That’s why
I could hear everythin’ Re said,
The sholFer wanted to carry in
his bag but he told ’im never
mind and to go on, and handed it
to one of the porters. He ordered
the dine to check it for ’m in-

came back for it: and he tipped
’im a buck. Then he motion for
my bus and climbed in, in a whale
of a hurry.”
‘‘Well, all this didn’t take as

continued the cabman. “And when
Re got iti my cab, his limousine
was only leavin' the station yard.
He says, ‘Follow that car: don’t
get too close, but don’t lose it,
whatever you do.’
“In West Philly, he turns down
Forty-ninth street and stops out
side an apartment house; there he
picks up a gent waitin’ for ’im
—a tall, blond, handsome guy,
like an athlete. I think the place
was the Westview Apartments,”
he added.
Rankin nodded. “Of course,
he went for Allen Rowland,” he
informed Jenks. “I suppose then,
Blake, the next destination was
Chestnut Hill.”
“That’s right,” the driver
agreed. “ ft was easy followin’
along there, though the shoffer
speeded some. He went to a real
swanky apartment house, the
Aldwich. I stayed outside the
entrance and the shoffer got out
and walked in; and in a minute a
pretty, swell young woman joins
the gent in the tonnoe. Then, a
little after two, we was all off
again.”
“MTiere to this time?” Rankin
queried.
“Back to town—to the Wolff
building, at Sixteenth and Market
street. My passenger didn’t get
out right away; he waited a couple
of minutes after the lady and her
escort went in before he follow
ed them. The shoffer stayed out
side in the car. I got order to
wait too, but not over ten min
utes; if Mr.—what’s-his-name did
not show up by then, I was to
leave. .\nd he hands me a whoop
in’ big tip besides a six-dollar
fare. So I hung around for al
most fifteen minutes, but he nev

I seen of ’im.”
Rankin spoke with ill-concealed
eagerness. “Did any of the peo
ple you were Interested in appear
while you were watching, Blake?”
The taximan scratched his head j
and replaced his cap askew. |
“Oh, yes, the gent the shoffer I
first picked up came out and I
spoke to ’im.” he replied, as if |
just remembering. “I guess to
dismiss ‘im or give ’im orders,
because he drove off as soon as
he went inside again.”
“Could you say what time this

to be exact as possible.”

operator said Keith had given.
As it was now almost seven
o’clock, the detective could no
longer reach Mr. MacQuire at the
Wolf building. He obtained the
lawyer’s home address from a
directory.
In answer to his ring, a maid
opened the door. She escorted
him through the sun porch into a
larger living room.
The second member of the firm,
whom he had not yet met, des
cended from above. Tall and un
gainly, Julian MacQuire suggested
a scholar rather than a practical
business man. After introductions
were completed, the detective’s
preliminary questions disclosed
that he had no special knowledge
about either Mrs. Rowland’s di-
vorse or the murder itself.
Presently Rankin turned to the
more pressing subject.
1 understand, Mr. MacQuire,”
he said, “that you had a caller yes
terday afternoon named James
Tarleton?”
The lawyer displayed surprise,
but nodded. “That’s correct,” he
said.
“You were acquainted with him,
of course?” The detective kept
his tone casual. “He was a regu
lar client of yours?”
“On the contrary, Mr. Rankin, I
never met him before in my life.
As is my habit when strangers
consult me. I inquire how ,ie hap
pened to seek me out. He stated
that he had learned of the firm’s
special repute in handling divorce
matters.”
“And it was about a divorce, I
suppose, that he sought your ad
vice?” asked Rankin.
Where the lawyer had spoken
willingly before, he now hesitat
ed.
“That is somewhat difficult to
answer,” he returned cautiously.
“You realize I am bound to treat
a client’s affairs as strictly confi
dential.”
“Yes, under ordinary circum
stances,” Rankin agreed, but
where a heinous crime is concern
ed, there are exceptions. Have you
noticed the pictures of Mrs.
Keith’s husband in the papers?”
Mr. MacQuire’s perturbation in
creased. “I . . . not very closely.
I’m afraid. Besides, 1 had all my
information of the tragredy first
hand from Mr. Dawson.”
“That would explain why you
didn’t mark the resemblance be
tween your caller and Mortimer
Keith,” said Rankin.
Mr. Macymre s uneasiness turn
ed into astonishment. “Mortimer
Keith?” he exclaimed. “But that’s
incredible! He explained he want
ed to obtain a release from pay
ing alimony.”
“A rather weak excuse,” Ran
kin smiled thinly. “Did anything
Mr. Keith say suggest he was re
ally interested in what his wife
was doing there? For instance,
did he mention her or the Row
lands?”
Mr. MacQuire’s jaw tightened.
“Yes, he mentioned Allen Row
land; but so casually I could hard
ly surmise he had an ulterior mo
tive. He said he had observed
some one slightly familiar enter
the office just ahead of him, who
“And how did you reply to
that?” Rankin asked.
“Well, I jet him understand that
while I. personally, had no dealing
with him, Mr. Dawson was delib
erating his case. Just what ■way,
I didn’t go into.”
“But Mr. Keith at least learned
it was a divorce case that brought
him there?”
’The lawyer flushed uncomfort
ably. “He seemed familiar with
his domestic troubles without my
telling him; in fact, if his objert
was to pump me, he was very cau
