SYNOPSIS . . . Six persons ua la an
inner office of the law trm of Dawson,
McQulre and Locke at Philadelphia A
muster heating In the divorce ease ol
Rowland vs. Rowland <s under way. Mra.
Rowland, represented oy her lawyer
brother. Mr. Willard; Ur. Rowland, the
defendant, and his attorney, Mr. Trum
bull. the court clerk and Mr. Dawaon, the
master, are the tlx persona. There la a
new development in the case. After falling
to defend himself against the charge ol
adultery In earlier hearings, Mr. Rowland
digs up evidence and asks the court's per
mission to produce witnesses and resist
Uie suit. Judge Dawson overrules the
heated objections of Mr. Willard, and
orders the witness brought in. Rowland's
lawyer goes to get the witness but finds
her dead? chloroformed. She is Mrs. Bar
bara Keith, wife of a prominent Phila
delphia business man. Judge Dawaon
phoned for the police. Detective Tommy
Rankin is assigned to the caae. lie la now
questioning all of the partiea Involved In
the case. NOW OO ON WITH TUB STORY.
Rankin nodded, in appreciation of
the diabolical effectiveness of the
late Tom Marshall's measures.
"So, with the divorce goes the
management of the estate," he sum
marized. "But I thought Harvey
Willard had means. Both he and
your wife inherited from Peter Wil
lard's estate. Why should he need
the trusteeship?"
The young man shook his head.
"He's not rich any more, and any
how Adele was willed most of it.
Willard's share all disappeared in
poor investments and the stock mar
ket. And Marshall's will permitted
him to spend for his own benefit the
thirty per cent he didn't need to
transfer to his sister ? about fifty
thousand annually. I happen to
know he is hard pressed by credi
tors. Unless he can obtain plenty
of funds before July first, he's a
ruined man; they will close in and
force him into bankruptcy. Adele
is too smart to throw good money
after bad and won't lend it to him.
Only a prompt divorce decree can
save him."
"Still," the detective pointed out,
"if your wife intends to marry
Campbell shortly, what good will
that do him? As her husband, he
then becomes the Marshall executor
and Willard's situation isn't bettered
at all." "?*
"F.vcn with temporary control of
the estate," Rowland returned, "he
might manage to slide out from
?? tuler " He extinguished his cigar
ette. Besides, he had no more idea
01 Adele's intentions in that direc
tion than 1 had until my spying
brought results."
He paused, and after a brief
moment for reflection, Rankin ac
quiesced.
"Yes, I can understand that. Now,
what did you discover by watching
Mrs. Rowland?"
"Two weeks ago I obtained the
evidence I needed," Rowland re
sumed his narrative. "It was 011 the
Wednesday evening after the last
hearing. I had learned several days
before from the chauffeur that
Campbell was back in town; and for
some evenings I continued my usual
watch and trailed them. Then that
Wednesday, May twenty-fourth,
Finley reported he had been dis
missed for the evening and also
added this significant item: Adele's
maid had casually informed him that
she was instructed to pack an over
night bag for her."
"Well, right after supper, I took
up my watch by the entrance of th<
Willard estate. Campbell, drivinp
a Cadillac coupc, arrived at eighl
o'clock, and Adele joined him with
her overnight bag. But for the early
part of the evening, they did nothing
more censorable than on other occa
sions. First, they went to the For
rest Theater. At eleven o'clock,
they visited the Organdy Club on
Broad Street, but I didn't dare fol
low them in. Instead, I parked near
Campbell's car, looked into it and
saw that he too had brought an
overnight bag. He and my wife
remained in the night club until
midnight. And perhaps twenty
, minutes before they appeared, Mrs.
Keith came out of the place by her
self and?"
Rankin's interruption was abrupt.
"All alone?" he demanded sharply.
"She was at the Organdy unescort
ed?"
"Yes, and it puzzled me too," Row
land replied. "I called her and she
explained that she had been to the
opera for which Mr. Keith did not
care. Because the club was so close
by, she went in to see the floor
show. I realized, for a married
woman in her position, the story
didn't ring true. I didn't question
her, as it was none of my business
and beside the point. I was too
thankful for her appearance just
when I needed a witness to worry
about it."
"You were well enough acquaint
ed with Mrs. Keith to enlist her aid
in such a personal matter?"
The young man made an apolo
getic gesture.* "I'm afraid I wasn't
^ fair to her and took advantage of her
. Wkv appearance,' he explained per
' ?^suasively. "You see, I asked her to
Jjoin me, but didn't tell her why I
?'.wanted her; I only said it would be
?< van important service to me and ur
gent. I was excited and that made
( )
her curious and desire to help me.
It wasn't until we were already trail
ing my wife and Campbell away
from the club, toward city limits,
that she fully realized the predica
ment I placed her in. But it was
too late then and she was sporty
enough to see it through; for my
sake, she agreed to risk the publicity
and gossip and give evidence. If I
had ever dreamed it would end like
this . .
He left the sentence unfinished,
compressing his lips with a sigh,
shaking his head dolefully. An
awkward silence followed until Ran
kin asked:
"Then you and Mrs. Keith were
good friends, Rowland. How long
me a leg to stand on," Kow':ir(|
replied, a harsh note in his voice
Abruptly, the detective sh:?M
the subject. "Now, ju<t on? mjr,
point, Mr. Rowland," he
"About the night of
February first, when Mrs.
caught you and Miss Kdniond to.
gether at the Sunset Inn. [vf
found out that immediately a:!tT
the interruption, Mrs. Keith's hjj.
band arrived there. Can >uu tej
me how he came to be there or
what his connection was vith '
he paused delicately, "your
trigue?"
But as Jill Edmond had dune ;;,t
young man professed to be utsibie
to account for the manufacturer,
"Mrs. Keith and I could make out they were drinking in the living roc?'
have you known her?"
"I met her two winters ago. at
Palm Beach, though, like all Phila
delphia society, I had heard of
Mortimer Keith. She stayed at the
Royal Arms Hotel, where Adele
and I were; and becausc he was
too busy to join her. she was a
grass widow and needed company.
That, her social position and her
attractiveness made her welcome
with all the young men at the re
sort. I did my share to entertain
her; I rode and visited the casino
with her, and several times attended
the dog races. Even Adele acted
fairly cordially toward her."
"Well, what happened the night
here you followed your wife and
Campbell?" the detective prompted.
"Where did they lead you?"
"Out the Park Drive. and left on
the Ridge Pike," Rowland said.
"We passed through Roxborough
and Norristown. At Collegeville
we caught up and followed them off
to the right, along the narrow
country road paralleling Perkiomen
Creek. At the end of five miles,
they halted finally at a substantial
stucco bungalow along the creek. It
was then one-thirty.
"Again I drove my car past,
about two hundred feet, and parked
where a clump of trees fringed the
road and hid us from the cottage.
Campbell produced a key and un
locked the door; then he turned on
the lights. I have inquired about
it since and learned it belongs to
Nick Alberti, the manager of the
Organdy Club, a friend of Camp
bell's. Adele was then cautious
enough to pull down all the blinds.
Still watching silently in the dark
ness, Mrs. Keith and I could make
out they werfc drinking in the living
room. At two^-thirty they started to
retire and a half hour later Camp
bell turned out the lights. I con
sidered I had gathered enough evi
dence against Adele to enter a de
fense to her suit; so I retraced the
trail with Mrs. Keith back to the
:itv."
The speaker concluded his narra
tive and fell silent until Rankin
asked:
"And at no time did your wife or
Campbell see you or become sus
picious of your presence?"
"I'm practically certain they
never realized they were being fol
lowed."
"Then they and Mr. Willard had
no idea in advance with whom they
had to reckon? Mr. Trumbull felt
reasonably sure they hadn't iden
tified Mrs. Keith as your chief wit
ness before she arrived at the hear
ing this afternoon."
Allen Rowland pondered a mo
ment "That's right, unless Adele
noticed her at the night club," he
offered at length, "and she prob
ably didn't; her arrival there that
night must have been one of the i
reasons Mrs. Keith left without <
waiting for her date." I
"Yes, I suppose that's possible." 1
Rankin frowned uncertainly. "And s
you have no other proofs of your i
wife's infidelity? Your entire case
depended on her?"
"Mrs. Keith's death doesn't leave
appearance. Me had 'it-vi-r :i

at her low balance, which ne>fr
exceeded five thousand dollars, and
at present came to less than <>nt
The two check-stubs which ?ert
not identifiable as to purpose, Hf,v

sums. One check had been dra?n

for these withdrawals was the wore

Before the detective could ponatf

"Yes, Cottnian?" Rankin KrfeIf,i
