The. Things That Came Back to Madge with Alice Holcombe's Story. Something sub-conscious, intuitive, laid forcible hold upon the affirma tive answer to Alice Holcombe's question which was upon m tongue and twisted my lips to an- evasion. I had seen a furtive expression creep into her usually frank eyes as she asked the question, and a tiny bell of alarm had sounded into my brain. I did not know what abysmal horror as yet unexplained might lie behind this bare announce ment of Milly Stockbride's death, and resolved to be as wary as poss ible in any talk concerning it. "You could hardly call it a tele phone call," I said, "it was so brief. He simply said that he would not be at the school until next day and that I might close up and go home." "Was was . he agitated ex cited?" JT d-dn't notice anything unusual about his manner," 1 answered, justi fying the falsehood to myself by the excuse that there was no use arousing the fears of the woman before me to any higher pitch than they had already reached. "Then she wasn't dead when he telephoned you!" Her voice held excited, triumphant assertion. "She couldn's havV been," I affirmed steadily, while all the time there beat like a hammer upon my brai.i the memory of the cry I had heard Milly Stockbridge give over the telephone but a lew moments before my strange 'phone conversa tion with my principal. "I knew it," she said. "They're trying to say that she had been dead for nearly three-quarters of an hour when the doctor got there, when Kenneth says Kenneth says " Alice Holcomb's Fear. "See here, let's get down to facts on this thing," I said with a brisk matter of factness.I was far from feeling. "Yqu just answer my ques tions, and don't try to speculate upon what you don't know. Who found her?" "Her husband." "What time?" "Six-thirty about. The doctor was there within five minutes after Kenneth telephoned him, he says, and he reached the house at 6:40." "That's Dr. Irons?" "Yes. How did you know?" "I was standing on the platform waiting for the train, when I saw him leave the office in a tearing hurry. It must have been about 6:35 when I saw him go." "Then he's telling the truth about the time he got there." There was a note of despondency in her voice. "Why shouldn't he?" I asked, startled. "He"s Milly's uncle," she returned shortly, and then her hands twisted together. "Oh!" she said, "I'm so afraid Milly's people are going to try to lay the blame upon Kenneth in some way." My blood chilled, not altogether from he words. "But how can they?"

In that case the probabilities are most strongly in favor of accident or, suicide, are they net?" "Of course it was suicide!" she cried defiantly. "She's been threat ening' it for years; Kenneth always keeps his photographic stuff locked up securely you know there are poisons in that." "Yes. I know," I nodded, with the remembrance of Dicky's interesting description of a murder case in which the poison which killed the victim had been surreptitiously obtained from the studio of an ama teur photographer of his acquaint ance. "Don't Worry " "But her voice lowered instinct ively, and she leaned forward in her chair, her eyes fixed on mine "then were red marks upon her wrists, fresh ones, as if she had been in a struggle. I I saw them! " I caught my breath instinctively. Once more I heard Milly Stock brldffe's raucous voice .shouting at me over the telephone, then her stifled exclamation. "Oh!" and "Don't, and then that absolute, dreadful silence. I heard something else, too, some thin which I would have given much to be able to forget the agi tated voice of Kenneth Stockbridge as he spoke words which in the light of these later developments hel I an almost sinister significance. "Don't worrv about anything which may have been said to you," he had said. "J have attended to that. ' (Continued Tomorrow).. Held For Investigation Police are holding Ely Davis, col ored, 1506 Webster street, for in vestigation following his arrest by Officers Bosen andn Urtanic Wed nesday night at Twenty-second and Hickory streets.

BLAKELEY IS DISMISSED BY POLICEJUDGE Statement That She Was Victim of "Frame-Up" Substantiated by Tes timony of Witness. Mrs. Ruth Blakeley, 541 South Twenty-fourth street, was dismissed in police court yesterday on charges of illegal possession and selling intoxicating liquor. Mrs. Blakeley's statement that she was a victim of a "frame-up" instigated by persons attempting to defeat her suit for additional ali mony from her former husband, Charles Blakeley ot Lincoln, was substantiated by the testimony of Attorney T. J. McGuire and W. H. WilsojL former chief of the Ne braska state agents. Says Prompted by ex-Husband. W. A. Wilson, a Lincoln attorney said to be a close friend of Mr. Blakeley, was accused of conspiring to blacken the character of Mrs. Blakeley. Mrs. Blakeley declared Wilson's efforts were prompted by her former husband's money. Mr. McGuire, who was special liquor prosecutor under the former state administration, declared that Wilson approached him in 1917 with a request to raid Mrs. Blakcly'S apartment for whisky. Wilson told Mr. McGuire he knew the woman was guilty of the illegal possession of liquor and insisted on her flat being raided, according to Mr. Mc Guirc's testimony. . The attorney declared he did not order the raid because lie suspected a frame-up. He said he knew of the trouble between Mr. Blakeley and his wife and that Wilson and Blakeley were close friends. The witness declared he called in W. H. Wilson, then chief of state agents, who also refused to take any (jtock in what Wilson had to say. Orders Case Dismissed. Following Mrs. Blakeley's state ment, Judge Foster ordered the case dismissed. Adam Kruger and W. A. Wilson, who are accused of attempting to injure Mrs. Blakeley's character, and who were at the hearing Wed nesday, were not in the court room yesterday. I Mrs. Blakeley was divorced by her husband some time ago and was awarded ' $8,000 by the court. She now is suing for an additional $7,000. The case will be called for trial within a few days, and Mrs. Blakeley's attorneys promise some startling revelations. The woman also declared she will prosecute the persons who have been hounding her for months. Blakeley's attorneys, on the other hand, declare that they will insti gate sensational features at the trial to startle a number of prominent persons whose names have not yet been connected with the affair. Wilson makes Statement. Mr Wilson who was arrested and later released by police in connec tion with the Blakely case, vehe mently denied yesterday that he had represented himself to the local police as an internal revenue officer. "I made no statement to that effect," disclaimed Mr. Wilson. "I never claimed to be a government officer of any kind." Mr. Wilson explained that he had obtained knowledge of the sale of liquor at Mrs. Blakely's residence from an informant. All Are Arrested. "As forma! councel for Mr. Blake ley I was naturally interested and imparted my information to Inter nal Revenue Agent Larry Flynn. He advised me to seek the assist ance of the local police, which I did. I conducted officers, Cunningham Jensen and Janda to Mrs. Blakeley's home on South Twenty-fourth street. Three men were seen emerging frm the apartment when we arrived there. All were arrested. At the station Captain Haze, decar ing that he could not tell heads from tails, placed us all under arrest. "One of the men in custody, a resident of this city was not booked by the police" Mr. Wilson declared. "As soon as the matter was explain ed to the captain he released me," further stated Mr. Wilson. "The charge that the arrest was an attempted frame-up is absurd',, asserted Mr. Wilson. New Home Treatment for Banishing Hairs (Beauty Topics) .
