Frame
The Henderson Independents fell be
fore the Thomas-Quickel team of Dur
ham, yesterday afternoon at League
Park Bto 7 before a crowd that was
cut down by cold weather and threat
ening showers.
The Independents, paced by Lang
ley and Poole, outhit the visitors 17
to 13, but could not make their bing
les count for runs.
Perkins and Sykes led the visitors
with thre safeties each out of five
trips.
Hamm hit a freak homer in the
eighth frame .the ball going over the
left fielder’s head and rolling under
the fence for a circuit clout. Sykes,
Durham hurler, hit an old time hom
er, the ball sailing high over center
field fence.
Plenty hits were turned in by both
teams, eight of them being of the ex
tra bases.
Don Pleasants gets credit for the
loss. He left the game in the sev
enth inning after one was out, due to
an injured finger that was hurting
his pitching. Skipper Boyd, genera
handy man, replaced him and struck
out five men, allowing 4 hits during
the remainder of the game.
Sykes worked the entire game for
the Durham team.

A TALE OF SCOTLAND YARD £y ff. F/£LO/N(^ l |[|||||«jjSHHil
CHAPTER 47
PELHAMS JAW worked. It was
a vile story.
“How long do you think it’s been
going on. this deception?”
“That illness he had on Lady Ida’s
yacht looks like the time—as a guess.
Say, when he fell ill, she deplored
her position to some friend should
Jacky die, and Westmacott marry
again and have a family? Suppose
this some one suggests getting hold
of some one who could play the part
perfectly during the very few times
that Jacky is inspected? It seems
to be around that very time that
Mrs. de Souza took Lord Mills’ villa
by the sea. Just along the stretch
of the coast where the yacht was
lying, and where It often put in.
Lady Ida would need help in getting
hold of a substitute. Strange is
much older than Jacky would be, I
think, but no one could tell that who
sees him with his face all screwed
up, and twisted into ball shapes on
the floor. Lady Ida could hardly
have searched for him. I think, her
self. It would have been too risky.”
"Do you think this valet. Craven*
knows the real truth?”
"I feel sure he doesn’t. Which is
probably why Jacky keeps up his old
fondness for biting and clawing at
wooden balls, and for bananas, and
so on. ... I don’t think Lady Ida’s
son is in it either, but that notion
is simply founded on the fact that
no one but a fool trusts a fool with
a secret.”
“Lady Ida’s certainly not that!
By Jove!” Pelham rose and lit a
cigar with kindling eye. “By Jove,
that accounts for her virulent hatred
of Miss Henrietta Naylor. It’s posi
tively indecent. But natural if she
had prevented Etta from marrying
the man who loved her. There’s a
title coming some day, and every
inch of land Westmacott has is en
tailed by his father. Gad, if you’re
right, and I don’t doubt you are.
what a pity rope-ending at the tail
of a cart has gone out of fashion.”
Then Pelham’s eyes widened. He
saw where Pointer was driving the
ball.
“You think that this—this secret,
this infamous secret, was suspected
, . or stumbled on by Tait, and that
7-7•. that jv;as why, be poisoned?”
r liftoff; - sir. He talks to
his cousin about believing in a devil.
To a friend of Westmacott’s the trick
being played on him would seem
devilish indeed.”
Pelham nodded fiercely.
“If I’m right, Tait must have been
suspicious of the truth when he went
to see this Jacky yesterday morning.
And must have shown his suspicion,
perhaps in a talk with Lady Ida, or
the poisoned boutonniere wouldn’t
have been got ready for him. It’s
possible that the real boy had some
mark on him to which Craven may
have innocently referred, or of which
Westmacott uaajr have written. , . .

Lions Meet M. E. Baracas Thursday
With Legion and M. P. Baracas
Crossing Bats Friday To
Complete Week’s Play
The 'Lions and the American Legion
baseball teams will prize off the lid
of the 1934 City League season tomor
row afternoon at League Park, weath
er permitting, and inaugurate the
third year of City League baseball for
Henderson.
The Lions, who finished second last
year and were defeated in a five game
series at the close of the season by
the Junior Order entry for the league
ibunting, have practically the same
team as they carried through the
season last year. The Legion entry
jhas drawn upon all the teams that
the local post has sponsored in the
Anyway. Tait goes to Palace Green
determined to find out the truth.
But in some way they hoodwink him
there, or manage to postpone the
real test. At any rate —all this is
still quite foggy yet. sir. I think he
thought of something when, just on
the point of telling his fiancee about
it, he dashed off for a few minutes
—possibly to go back to Palace Green
—and dropped dead on the way."
“If this yarn is anywhere near
the truth,” Pelham said slowly,
“Lady Ida would know that her ex
planations would only satisfy him
for the time being. For, do you
know, I had a talk this morning with
a business friend of Tait’s. And he
happened to mention a peculiarity of
his. Said you had to give him time
to reflect on things. That any infant
could hoodwink Tait while he talked
to him—the man was extraordinarily
susceptible to plausible suggestions
for the moment, but give him time,
and no fraud, however clever, could
blind him. But he had to be able to
look it over again, mentally, by him
self. But, now to go back, the poi
son used, makes one of course think
of Mrs. de Souza, who has spent
many a winter along the Mediter
ranean, apart from being the widow
of a Portuguese. At least I suppose
he was that, if he ever existed.”
Pelham paused for Pointer to
continue the tale of possibilities.
“My idea is. sir, that Strange
bought some of these artificial bou
tonnieres down at the Ricci’s hair
shop. I don’t think the choice was
accidental. Nothing in a murder is,
as a rule. That would mean that
he, or Lady Ida, or some one asso
ciated with him, knew all about the
Ricci's and their feeling towards John
Tait, and knew therefore that they
would be safe suspects.”
“I wonder if this whole deception
is Strange’s?” Pelham said. . . .
Pointer thought this highly improb
able. . . . “Nor do I see what
Strange has to gain, except by being
a paid actor doing a permanent part
in which he’s been engaged,” he ob
jected. “Without good pay the task
would be too loathsome. It’s any
thing but an easy job. and he threw
himself into .it splendidly. No, sir, I'
feel sure that he’s a party to a regu
lar business proposition. From which
they all draw handsome profits. So
much to whoever procured him. So
much to Jacky ”
“And the rest to Lady Ida!" Pel
ham nodded. “Well, after Strange
buys the boutonnieres, what next?"
“Then my guess is, sir, that he
takes them to Miss Dundas’ studio.
And that either there, or at her own
house, sorrfe one —Mrs. de Souza say
—dips one in poison and dries it. I
doubt if any poison entex*ed the house
in Palace Green. But there’s no
openly known connection between
Mrs. de Souza and Tait. We shall
search both places, of course, but my
belief is that it will be in the flat

city and have a formidable organiza
tion, in the loop this, year. The team
finished in last place last year.
The Civic Club team has had little
chance to get any workouts this sea
son, but it is expected to be able to
carry on despite of this fact.
Its pitching staff is composed of Pat
Hight and Mat oPwell, each alternat
ing between the tnountr and some
other position of the team.
Scrubby Loughlin, om» of the main
stays on the team, will be absent from
the lineup for several games, being off
on the round with tne oCstello troup.
Clayborn Inscoe, ace hurler for the
high school during the past season,
will proibably be with the Legion or
ganization tomorrow, according to the
dope being passed out. *le is one of
the best young pitchers in this sec
tion. The boy has a fast ball and a
plenty of “stuff” on his curve. He
will be hard to handle by. the Lions.
The next game in the loop will be
Thursday afternoon with the Lions
coming back to meet the M.‘ E.
Baracas. The Legion team meets the
M. P. Baracas Friday afternoon to
completee the week’s playing.
Visiting in Washington
Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Lewis are
spending several days in Washington
D. C., visiting friends .and relatives.
While there, they will see their son,
Hubert, in a race against some of
the country’s crack milers.
we find it. I don’t believe any of
them think they’re suspected, in
which case, I should expect to find
the poison still in existence. It must
be very difficult to get in England.
It doesn’t alter, the doctors say,
however long it’s kept Certainly I
think Miss Dundas feels sure there
is more where it came from. If the
poisoning was done at the studio
itself, and if the poison is kept, there*
my men have failed to find any
traces. They’ve been at work there*
and have reported a total blank.”
“And this Miss Dundas, is she in
the poisoning of Tait?” Pelham pon
dered.
“I don’t think so, sir,” Pointer re
plied slowly. “I think his death was
a terrible shock, a real shock to her.
But she’s pretty certainly mixed up
in the blackmail business both of
him and of Lord Mills. That being
so, as I read it. she’s threatened with
being shown up and sent to prison
by her confederates if she tries to
speak to us about Tait. As I read
her,” Pointer went on. “she’s about
as much pluck as she has morals—
which is to say not a speck of either
in her whole make-up. For such a
coward, she turned down a terrible
road when she let them use her as
a decoy.”
“We’ve learned," Pelham glanced
at a paper, "that she and the de
Souza woman stopped either at the
same place or at the same hotel with
both those rnen—Mills and Tait. By
the way, as you thought, that pitiful
tale of dependent parents is a myth.
We’ve learned from the people who
let the studio to her mother, or
rather who sold her the lease, that
that good lady is dead. She was an
artist’s model who married the artist.
He took to pottery, and died when
the one child—this Gillian—was
about 15. The mother struggled
along for another three years sup
porting them both by china painting,
mending pottery, making gloves, do
ing small decorative repairs. She
seems to’ve worked for some good
houses. When she died. Gillian was
taken as companion by Mrs. de
Souza. The studio was generally let
to artists, but there’s been no com
plaint about the rent, it’s been paid
regularly by Miss Dundas.”
“Worked for good houses. . . .•
Pointer repeated thoughtfully, “the
daughter would aecompa»y her
mother probably. ... I wonder.
My first idea was that blackmail was
at the root of Mr. Tait’s murder.
Blackmail that was afraid of being
shown up. He was so determined to
clear Brown from any question of
being implicated in a murdei. But I
couldn’t see why Miss Dundas bolted
as she did, from Mrs. de Souza. Now
it. looks as though she had overheard
something, which gave her an ink
ling as to what was on foot at West
macott’s house.”
“And tried to warn Tait without
its being known.”
