Jere Kane refused to explain when
tbe inspector pressed him. He said,

I ve let something slip—or rather, I
tut too much faith in old Ghtvlng

He fairly leaped into a waiting
taxicab and directed the driver to the
address in Hollywood, then In his
thoughts go hack over the events of
the last twenty-four hours. The cab
•1 river, following instructions, raced
at break-neck speed through the eve
ning traffic
"Why." Kane ashed Mbiself. “did
t’hivingtnn he to me? Who in he
shielding'.'”
He recalled the old servant's denial
tint hi* master had any enemies
Kane had treated him gently, had
shown him every consideration due
his age and his reverence to Bailey,
and for his pains he had been thrown
ilnnn.
That line in Halley's diary stood
out as though written in indelihfe
Ink
<'hivlmrton knows everything.'’
Then. I’hivington knews the iden
t:'> of the mysterious woman known
as "Buddy”. Jere Kane felt that at
last he was near the end of the trail.
He had no doubt hut that "Buddy"
i id killed Bailey. In a moment of
insane jealousy sh» might even have
-hot Nanette Leßoi.
Hut who was "Buddy"? He smiled
t’ himself; he would soon kn*nv.
The taxicab whirled from Highland
av-nue into the street In which
/•-alley lived and began laboring up
the steep hill. Grimly, Kane thought
of his narrow escape at that corner.
He did not for a moment, now. have
:»nv other thought than that someone
had deliberately attempted to kill
him.
There was only one reason for such
an attempt: the murderer of Hichard
Bailey feared that he had found the
trail and wanted to get him out of
the way '
Presently, the cab pulled up to
turn into the driveway leading back
to the entrance of the murder house.
Kane stopped him*
"I'll walk In." he said.
He alighted anti paid the driver,
then turned up the driveway. The
house was ablaze with light. The ’

Kane went in.
went, the breakfast room, the dining
room, the kitchen, the pantry—but
there was no sign of life.
Where was And Ohiv
ington? Perhaps the servant had re
tired the strain of his secret and
what had occurred must have been
a heavy burden for him to bear—in
his room upstairs. Taking the stairs
two at a time, Kane was soon stand
ing (n the door of the old man’s
room.
Chivington was not there.
There were other rooms on this
floor. Three doors, besides that to the
servant's quarters, opened off the
dark corridor. One by one, he
opened them and peered in. These
were bedrooms, neatly arranged, lux
uriously furnished. But. even though
the lights in each were burning, they
were empty of life.
Bounding back downstairs, he went
over the lower floor again. This lime
he found a door which he had over
looked. Jerking It open, he found a
dark passage. Groping about, he dis
covered a switch and snapped it. In
stantly. the passage was bathed in
light and was revealed as a stairway
leading into a basement.
The faint strains of music came to
him. It stopped, and a voice said.
“You are listening to a program of
dance music played for you by the
Embassy orchestra. Wo have an un
usually large .Sunday night crowd
here tonight and we urn more than
pleased to have with us several visit
ing police officials who are in our
Gulden of Eden for their annual con
vention. And." the voice laughed,
"they seem to have found several
Eves to entertain them. You know,
these arms of the law might have
come out here for business, but they
certainly look like they're in a swing
now. They might hold their sessions
on Sunday, but Sunday night Is thejr
night out."
As the music started again he saw
another switch beside the one he had
snapped. He touched it and the l>nse
mem glowed with shader) lights.
Descending, he found himself in an
elegantly a "pointed retention room.,
In a far corner he espied O’Hara,
sound asleep.
He was across the large room at
O'Hara’s side in a flash. Gruffly, lie
shook him. The detective shook Itim
self. sat up and gazed about in be
wilderment. Then he looked nn and
saw Kane.
"Where's i'hivington.” the amateur
detective demanded.
"Upstairs asleep," the other tiuui
muttered sleepily. "He told me to
come down here and get some rest."
"No he isn't,” Kane snapped. "Ho
isn't in the house at all.”
O’Hara si rambled to his feet. "You
mean he ain't upstairs asleep?" he
asked, more in protest against being
thus aroused than in dismay over the
servant's disappearance.
"No." sharply. •‘There’s no one in
the house at all except you. When
I arrived I found the front door
standing open and every light in the
place ablaze."
•'Tliats funny," dully, "he Mid he

"I want Chivington and I want him
■ at once.”
. O'Hara finally managed to recover
his faculties. He was galvanized into
1 action. "1 remember now." lie ex
-1 claimed. “Ho got a telephone call
1 before he went upstairs I don't know
| who it was "
"No.” Kane asserted harshly, “I
didn't expect you to.”
” hut when he hung up he said
’ something aliout it being a wopian
he detested. I tried to get him to
tell me who it was hut he wouldn't
| do it.
“It was then that he said he warn
going up for some rest and that if I
wanted to I could come down here.”
"Did he say anything else?”
eagerly.
“Yes. He did say something about
taking Bailey's car and going down
on the boulevard later to get some
thing for supper. He said he'd go
after he rested a bit.”
"Did he go?"
"I reckon he did.'* the detective re
plied sheepishly, "if he ain't here."
Kane returner! to the floor above,
the officer following at his heels like
a pet dog.
"See if the car is gone," Kane or
dered.
When the detective had gone he
went into the den. A quick survey
showed him that nothing had been
disturbed. Presently, the officer re
turned, his eyes bulging with excite
ment.
"The garage door's locked!” he al
most shouted. 'There’s a car in there
and the motor's running."
"Conic on," Kane cried and started
for the rear of the house.
At the garage door he stopped
short. A padlock belt} th» doors flrrn-
Ily closed. He could hear the «est
I purr of an automobile engine.
“Maybe the old man's trying to
kill himself." O'Hara muttered.
"Get that lock off there." Kane di
rected.
The officer looked aliout for a rock
hut in the darkness could find none.
"TTse your gun," the other snapped.
•'O'Hara drew his revolver and,
using the butt end as a hammer,
pounded away at the heavy lock until
it fell oft. After’ Kane had thrown
open the doors he replaced his gun.
pulled out a small pocket flash and
went In. A moment later he was
hack again, coughing deeply.
"There's enough gas In there to
kill an army.” he sputtered.
Kane took the light, covered his
nose with his handkerchief and went
in. He flashed the light into the ear.
Two persons were in the front scat,
one was Chivington. He was slumped
down, his chin hanging on hi^chest.

ommend any-wbere nea" the amounts
requested. chiefly because of the
shrinkage in revenue! the past two
years and the apparent inability to
find a"y new sources of revenue. It
is pointed out that even with the 30
per cent reduction in appropriations
made by Ihe budget commission last
and this year that the deficit for (he
present biennium will be ffully SO.-
500.000 and the accumulated deficit for
the paist four years about $12,000,000.
As a result, the budget commissioti
is now faced with the task of trim,
ming the appropriations that have
been asked to the point where they'
can be taken cart' of from expected
revenue It is agreed this means
trimming them down fully $2000.000
or even more.

Among Changes Proposed
In New Constitution To
Be Offered State
(Note. —This U the fourth ft a
series of 1- articles enumerating
the changes proposed In North
Carolina's basic law by the Con
stitutional commission. This one
deals with alterations In Artirle
IV, defining functions of the judi
cial department.)
Raleigh. Dec. 2. (AP) The chief
justice of the Supreme Court of North
Carolina would become in fact the
head of the State's judicial system
ns well as its nominal leader under
changes in Article TV of the ba.«ic
law as proposed by the Constitutional
Commission.
| A judicial council would be creat-
J ed with the chief justice as chairman
j to meet once a year upon his call to
make rules for pleading, practice and
procedure in the courts.
Rules of the Supreme Court, how
ever, would continue to be made by
the justices of that branch.
Justices of the peace, sheriffs, coro
ners. clerks of the superior court and
the clerk of the Supreme Court no
I longer would be constitutional offi
cers. These piaces would be filled by j
act of the legislature.
A proposed amendment to the pre
sent Constitution, which has vot
' ed down at the polls on several oc
; casions. is included in this proposed
i new Article IV. Solicitorial districts.
| separate of judicial districts, could be
i created, providing for more solicitors
than judges,
, The General Assembly also would
be empowered to provide for more
than one superior court judge to a !
judicial district.
Instead of the governor appointing
judges for special courts, this duty
would fall upon the chief justice as
head of the judicial system.
■ Terms of office of ail superior and
supreme couUtt judges would be
eight years. Superior court jurists are
now elected for four year terms.
The General Assembly could, if
need arose, increase the number of |
judges on the Supreme Court bench.
The number is now limited to four
I and a chief justice. An amendment to
j the present Constitution to allow an
i increase has been defeated at the
| polls.
The Supreme Court would be given j
| power to sit in divisions but no de- ■
• vision of any division would become J
1 lhe judgment of the court unless con-j
: curved in by a majority of the whole j
| court, and no case involving the Con-!
| stitution could be decided except in |
I full meeting.
