huve had to do with the life of Mr.
Taylor in the months that Fcavey
was tntployed by him and with oc
turrence concrrninit; the finding of
Mr. Taylor' body, bcarm a revolver
bullet wound, in the director's home
lust week.
Jealousy Possible Motive.
The taking of a new statement
i.ndcr the circumstances existing to
day was deemed to mean that fur
ther investigation of the sheriff's
theory of jealousy as a possible mo
tive for the crime was to be made
by all the officers employed on the
case.
Other than the- examination of
iVavey, apparently, little of import
ance transpired today in the murder
inmiirv.
l'eavey left the office after having
been closeted with the officials about
an hour. lie went out alone, the of
ficials continuing their conference
as he, departed.
"I've nothing to say." Pesvey old
reporters. "I've just told my story
over again to Mr. Woolwine."
Under Sheriff Biscailluse and
Captain Adams came out a little
later.
New Angle Possible.
"I cannot say tjiat anything new
has developed from the questioning
ot l'eavey," Bi.scailluse said. "How
ever, that docs not mean that no
new angle of investigation has been
discovered. We will have to check
up on certain matters before we can
determine that."
The district attorney said that
everyone he had questioned about
the case told "a straightforward
story without hesitancy or the
slightest indication of an attempt '.3
conceal anything." Mr WoOlwinc
mentioned Mary Miles Minter, film
actress well acquainted with the
slain director, laying her story had
been "frank and straightforward."
Mr. Woolwine said some "vague
surmises" concerning the case, but
"no rc.il theories'' had been advanced
by sonic of those he questioned.
Letters written bv Miss Nonmnd
to Taylor -and found in a room in
his house remainH in possession of
Mr. Woolwine today, but he failed
to attach any "significance" to them.
"They certainly- will not be pub
lished without Miss Normand's con
sent," the district attorney said, in
reply to a question by a reporter.
He added that Miss Normand had
not given such consent. , '.
The Story of Ninette
Greenwich Village
Revue Is Season Hit
Joe Hurtig, in presenting the
Greenwich Village Revue at the Gay
cty theater has a vehicle that has a
strong appeal to the audience. The
show was stopped more times at the
opening performance than any pro
duction this season.
There were three reasons for the
popularity of this production, Tom
Senna, Frank Harcourt and Gertrude
Webber. It makes no difference
what you like in vaudeville, these
three stars of he Hurtig show
furnish it. Senna and Harcourt are
two of the cleverest comedians seen
on the Gayety stage this season. They
get the laughs with an ease that
makes the entire performance enjoy
able. Gertrude Webber cannot be over
looked in the list of real burlesque
stars. She has the looks that cause
the most blase in the baldheaded row
to look twice; she sings in a manner
that pleases all; as a dancer she is
extremely clever and displays a mag
nificent wardrobe. Her stage per
sonality is especially attractive and
she gets across her character parts
wonderfully.
The Hurtig production from the
novel crystal gazing prologue to the
attractive Greenwich village theater
setting for the close of the produc
. tion is a performance that will please
any lover of laughs, music, song,
pretty girts, elaborate costumes and
magnificent stage settings.

acrosf the garden and out into the
road. Automobile nw pat ber
through the twilight; she (aught
glimpse of more fortunate girl.
wrjiMird in evening ch'As of nold
cloth and fur and Mini. Ninette
ighed a little, at the t-wl there in
the rain, wondering which way to
turn.
It wai not for the luxury of their
Hvei that kIic sighed, A home wa
all that she had akrd of laic the
humble(.t home would have done a
cottage in a little garden, with love
glorifying the simple roonu that
would have been more than enough.
Yet she had been refused.
It was very cold out in the rain.
But Ninette hardly frit the unkind
n'M of the weather, her heart was
like atone, her mind mimbed and in
rapable of thought. Her tlothing
v as ooti drenched by the rain, but
she welcomed the discomfort. Alone,
almost penniless, homeless it
seemed fitting to be wretched in
every way.
It was hard to know which way to
go; after all it mattered little where
she went, she told herself: there was
naon. anywhere who cared whether
she came to them or not.
And yet her whole future depended
on which way the whim of the mo
nient forced her to turn I
It was not until two hours after
Ninette had left the house that Mrs.
Cranford went upstairs and tapped
timidly at Ninette's door. Receiving
no response, she knocked softly
again, thinking that the girl might be
asleep; then after knocking more
loudly, she opened the door and
looked in. v
Everything was in order. There
was no sign of the hurry of depar
ture, save that, pinned to the lace
cover of the dressing table was a
bttlc penciled note, which read:
"I have given up my lodgings."
Teter, hurrying to his aunt's that
evening, felt happier than he had for
several days. Dark as things seemed,
he at least was sure that Ninette still
cared for him. The way she had
lcokcd when he told her that he and
Dorothy were to be married as soon
as possible assured him of that. Al
most anything might have happened
if Mrs. Cranford had not come in
just when she did, he reflected, with
a rueful little smile.
He ran up the steps and fitted his
key to the lock, but the door was
thrown open before he could turn it
CHAPTER XLVI.
Peter Accuses Dorothy.
"Peter!" Mrs. Cranford stood be
fore him, her eyes red with wcepinc.
"Oh, I thought that you would
never come. Read this!"
It v'as Ninette's scribbled note
that she held out to him.
"I have given up my lodgings."
As he read it a wave of blind rage
surged over Peter Nothard.
"You sent her away!" he cried
sternly, his face so gaunt and stem
that her heart ached for him in his
misery.
"Oh, Tetcr, no I said nothing to
her;" she protested.
"But you must have someone
must ha.ve told her that I was pay
ing her expenses here and, of course,
she has left the house where she
felt that she was an unwelcome bur
den. Arc you sure "
"Oh, Peter, I haven't told her,"
repeated Mrs. Cranford distraught.
"She went to her room when you
were here and later went to talk
to Dorothy."
She had not meant to tell him that;
as .comprehension flashed through
hisViiind she felt guilty. And yet he
would have found it out sooner or
later; it was as well to straighten out
the wretched situation now,' perhaps.
"To Dorothy." Peter turned 'to
ward the stairs as. he repeated the
words. "Then why, Dorothy must
have " He glanced at his aunt for
confirmation, but she avoided his
eyes. "Dorothy did it, then!"
And he dashed off up the stairs,
two at a time, '
Dorothy's room was exquisite in
the light of the amber-shaded lamps.
And at first glance its occupant was
equally beautiful. She lay on a couch
near the open fire, playing with the
great yellow roses that leaned toward
her from a vase on the table near
by. Hef silken negligee, weighted
with great heavy flowers, embroid
ered in gold thread, clung to her
slim -body caressingly. And all the
soft light in the rfTom seemed to he
focused on her wonderful red hair,
which lay in soft, deep waves about
her face. '
And get, despite its gorgeous color,
it called attention not to itself, but
to the bandages which marred Doro
thy's beauty. And similarly, the girl's
loveliness was lost on Feter, to
whom she was the person who had
taken from him the girl he loved.
"Dorothy," he began as he crossed
the room to her side, his voice gen
tle despite the turmoil that was
seething within him. "Ninette has
disappeared. Do you know how this
happens did you telL her that I was
paying her expenses here, because
there was nothing left of her father's
estate when he died?"
The sight of her bandages had
made him lenient with her and he
hoped that she would make a clean
breast of her share in the affair,
without his actually accusing her.
"I oh, how absurd! Why should
I tell Ninette the truth?" she
laughed softly, slipping: one delicate
little hand into his. "Did you bring
me that book we talked about, Peter
dear? And"
"Dorothy!" Peter's voice was stern
enough now. "Don't lie to me. I
know that you told Ninette what the
situation is here and that it was this
revelation that has driven her from
the house out into the streets at
night." ..
"Well, what if I did?" She lifted
herself on her cushions, tense, de
fiant. "Why shouldn't she know, I'd
like to ask. Why, anyody but a sillv
little fool like Ninette would m(
known long ago tlut you wrietui'
porting hrr. I'm iut urt? that ''
didn't know all the time, but jnt
thought it looked better to appear
Innocent.1
"You plull not ay nnh thing of
brr you know that they aren't true,
that thj little girl never had a
thought of ouch a thing!" 1'ctir wai
tramping up and down the room,
bit hands clrm-hcd in hi pocktU,
his face pale with impotent anger.
"You mean that he never let yotl
know that he lud," rHorted Dor
othy, watching lum with narrowed
rye.
"That will do! Never let me hear
ou mention her name again," he
cried at that, o threatening that the
smouldering blaze of Dorothy'
hatred flared into flaine.
"It een t me that you act
rather odd for a man who W engaged
to me." he told him deliberately.
"Why are you o upset about Ni
nette? What doe h mean to
JOII?"
I;or a moment there was nilcuce In
the beautiful room, a filence a ig
I'ificant that all the world Kcmcd
listening to it.
Peter straightened hi houlilrrs
and a glimpse of lur face was dis
pelled at the thought of Ninette. Vvt
a moment he forgot Dorothy and the
hopeless tangle into which his life
bad been twisted. And he answered
softly:
"She mean everything in the
world to me!"
