The Murder Develops Into an Affair
Quite Close to Me.
A startling murder, I decided, as
I listened to the chatter of the crowd
and surveyed the scene of the trage
dy. below me. The bathhouse was a
huge affair of concrete; it was divid
ed by a broad entrance hall in the
middle; the women’s rooms were in
the left wing, the men’s in the right.
Patrons bought their tickets in the
center, took their keys and towels
to the little dressing booths.' After
the swim, they left the keys in the
doors of the rooms, and went out of
the bath house by stairways at the
ends of the wings.
The man had been shot from one
of the windows of the women’s wing,
they said. There were three tiers of
windows. I counted them—why 1
didn’t know. I reckoned that there
were nearly 200 windows from any
one of which that might have
started carrying death to a certain
unsuspecting man.
I noticed some camera men getting
into an auto next to mine. Other men
with them were reporters, I fancied.
I gathered up my courage and put a
question to one of them:
“Who was shot?”
The young man smiled pleasantly,
in the way some men always smile
when a well-dressed young woman
speaks to them. ‘
“Ives!” he answered. “The chap
who keeps—or who kept—the fancy
furniture place in Bond street!”
“Ives!” I repeated. “Oh, yes!
Ives!” And I nodded pleasantly,
Produce More Live Hog
For Less Money
This is the actual result you can expect from the
use of Just Pig Peed. The reports of feeders, who
give their hogs this scientific feed, prove it.
JUST PIG FEED
insures quickest gains all round. It is a balanced feed which is
made from ground corn, digester tankage, alfalfa flour and molas
ses. It contains no fillers, hulls, screenings or cheap by-products.
It is a complete ration and requires no supplement. The slight
extra cost of getting hogs ready for the market, by using JUST
PIG FEED, is much more than balanced by greater gains in
weight and large, extra profits. You save 20 to
30 days’ time. You produc# 100 pounds of live
hog for $3 to $6 less cost. You get the top market 'jjjffl
price for the best grade of meat. Hf ! §f*af| p
A trial of JUST PIG FEED will mean money ggjs
in your pocket. Let your hogs prove this. Order a
supply from us today. Every day of waiting means
a day lost in extra profits.

although my heart was standing stock
still.
The reporters worked their car
out of the crowd at a rapid rate and
hit it up for town. I followed the
path they made until I had passed
the border of the crowd. I had a lot
of things to think about and a lot
of things to do. But I had no plan.
I couldn’t go to the police and say
that Ann Lorimer was in the bath
house, and I, had come to take her
away. I couldn’t get into her com
partment and obtain possession of
that automatic. I could only repeat
iri an absurd and helpless fashion:
“Ives! Shot! I don’t understand
why she did it!”
A little reflection might make me
understand what part fate had as
signed to me in the tragedy. I set the
car to crawling around the serpen
tine drives between the box hedges.
Reaching the top of the long hill —
White Point itself —I could see hun
dreds of autos parked in the space
set aside for them. There wasn t
a Lorimer car in the bunch. Had Ann
escaped? What had become of her?
1 hated to think that she was still
in the bath house, being nuestion
ed b - the police. Perhaps, pretty
soon, she would be escorted by them
to the park station, along with other
suspected persons. And the name
of “Lorimer” would be forever dis
graced!
Then I pulled myself together
with:
“Jane Lorimer, maybe you re too
quick to assume that you know who
shot Claude Ives!”
I turned a “hairpin” in t v e road!
at a slow speed. The hill was de-j
serted. Even the mothers out for a !
picnic had taken their young children 1
and infants down to the scene of thej
murder.
At the bend of the “hairpin” a
woman stepped suddenly from the
bushes. It was Ann!
“Let me in!” she said jumping on
the running board. Without stop
ping the car, I opened the door, and I
Ann sank weakly into the seat by!
my side. She didn’t seem at all sur-|
prised that I should be there to res
cue her. Just took it for granted. ,
I got out of the picnic "rounds as
quickly as possible. Not until we
had entered the city suburbs did Ann 1
speak:
“Thank God, Jane! He sent you,!
I guess!”
“Maybe!” I said dryly. “Stop*
your crying. Stop it this minute!;
Don’t you dare to cry!” I ordered in
my severest tones. Ann obeyed, al
most without hearing, it seemed to
me. Evidently she was frightened
into a state of stupidity. Neverthe
less, I had to put the big question
to her:
“Before I take you home, tell me!
what you have had to do with this!
affair!”
A (fueer little whimper was my
only answer. Ann closed her eyes
and sank back in a huddle. She had
fainted.
