NOW OO ON WITH THX STORY.
Wisely, Miss Edmond made no
effort to deny the charge. “Where
did you learn that?”
“From Harvey Willard, of course
. . . an* Mrs. Rowland,” Rankin re-
turned i provocatively. "They in-
formed me of your entire part in
the collusion — how, as secretary,
you agreed to pretend an affair with
the husband. And how you climaxed
the ‘intrigue’ with the affair at the
Inn.” He smiled contemptuously.
As he intended, anger burned in
the girl’s eyes, as much directed
against her erstwhile conrcderaies
as against his insulting comments.
“They told you that? But it was
thcii plan; I had nothing to do with

fill Edmond’s resentment, increas-
ing with her alarm, loosened her
tongue.
"I won’t be a fool for them.” She
clenched her fists. “They may have
told you a lot, but they left out even
more. You haven’t heard yet that
they tried to double-cross Mr. Row-
land. There was a woman he really
loved—for whom he wasn’t faking
an affection; and they attempted to
catch him with her—his real mis-
tress.”
His real mistress? What do vou
Mrs. Keith went with Rowland to
the Inn?”
‘‘It’s simple when you know the
conversation I overheard Wednes-
day afternoon, February first,” the
jfifl returned. “I came downstairs
in the Rowland home about three
o’clock and heard Mrs. Rowland on
the phone in the living room. She
spoke to Mr. Willard, breathlessly
and yet so plainly I couldn’t help
understanding; there was something
joyful, almost . . , unholy about her
excitement. Curious, I slipped into
the conservatory where I could lis-
ten still better. First, she said, “My
suspicions were right, after all,
Harvey; I have proof at last Allen
is seeing that woman tonight I You
r?/use<* l<? believe it when I insisted
all this time she was his mistress,
ette ash and shrugged her shoul-
ders carelessly.
"The rest of the story must be
fairly clear from the records of the
hearing,” she concluded. “Allen and
I were well compromised by the
interruption; we acted dismayed and
guilty, precisely as it had all been
planned for the next day. Though
I almost spoiled it by laughing at
Mrs. Rowland’6 rage and mortifica-
tion and Mr. Willard’s amazement.
During the confusion, they searched
the room, closets and bathroom for
Mrs. Keith. Yet they had to carry
out the scene, not daring to demand
where she was or question the sub-
stitution. That would have given
away their knowledge of the whole
secret and admitted the collusion."
After a moment of deliberation.
“Mrs. Keith!” Rankin ejaculated,
possible?”
"Good heavens, how can that be ,
but now you’ll have to admit it.’
She then answered a question.
‘Never mind how I found out; I’ll

either, Mr. Rankin; it was Barbara
Keith—Mrs. Mortimer Keith 1 ‘It
was with her, not me, that he went
to the Sunset Inn February first, to
spend the night 1”
“Mrs. Keith 1” Rankin ejaculated.
“Good heavens, how can that be
possible?”
He could hardly credit his ears.
He had expected information from
the girl, but never, in his wildest
speculations, such a startling, over-
whelming revelation.
"To dear up this whole business
for you, Mr. Rankin,” she related,
“I had better begin at the begin-
ning. What they said about hiring
me and planting the impression
Allen and I had an affair is prob-
ably correct; they’d have no reason
to lie about that. Up to the day
we chose for the final discovery,
everything went according to plan
It waa arranged to catch us to-
gether, Thursday, February second;
iu know, as secretary, I had every
‘ursday off and usually spent it
!h Allen to increase suspicion,
was to write a note, making an
ointment to meet me that night
,eight o’clock in town. Mrs.
Rowland would supposedly dis-
cover it, turn it over to her brother
and Dorkin, and the three of them
would watch our meeting. Then,
jto produce proofs of our relations,
Allen and I were to drive to the
Roadside Hotel, thirty miles out
along the Lancaster Pike, and there
be trapped in a bedroom together.”
The detective’s face screwed into
fi baffled, uncomprehending frown.
“This was set for Thursday, the
Second? But according to Mr.
Willard and the testimony," he ob-
jected, “the climax really was acted
the day before, Wednesday, Febru
try first. And it took place at the
Sunset Inn, instead.”
Jill Edmond smiled vindictively.
"Yes, that’s so; that is where the
double-crossing comes in. The
whole program was advanced one
day by Mrs. Rowland’s treachery in
trying to drag Mrs. Keith into the
scandal. She failed only because I
was too much for her. At the hear-
ing afterward, she couldn't prove
anything against Mrs. Keith, so she,
Mr. Willard and Allen had to stick
to the story they originally planned
and change only the necessary
minor details, such as the date and
the sjtfge. After all, so far as Dor-
kin was concerned, he witnessed on
Wednesday substantially what we
Intended him to see on Thursday;
and that was the evidence he of-
fered.”
Still Rankin wore a puzzled look.
?I'm afraid I don’t follow at all,
fir.................
ss Edmond. How can-that be if
at the corner of Jackson and Elder
streets.’ Then she added, ‘He has
the audacity to meet ner practically
in front of my 1k.ii I Now we
won’t have to wait loi the faked
meeting tomorrow night to prove
he is faithless; tonight we’ll catch
him red-handed with his real mis-
tress and have honest grounds for
a divorce. And with that she hung
up the receiver.”
She paused, breathless at the ve-
hemence of her own recital.
“So I had to get in touch with
Allen and warn him of the trap.
Only, I couldn’t locate him; I went
out and phoned his apartment sev-
eral times, but in vain. My only hope
was to be at the meeting place and
if Allen arrived first, warn him and
try to stop him. I hired a car, figur-
ing I might need one if any travel-
ing was to be done. At eight-thirty
I parked near the corner, careful
not to be observed; I watched Mrs.
Rowland, Mr. Willard and that de-
tective come at twenty to nine and
hide nearby. Fifteen minutes later,
Mrs. Keith walked up, and at ex-
actly nine o’clock Allen picked her
“Since I could not signal Allen,
I followed both cars to wait for a
later chance. All the way to the
Inn, I trailed behind Mrs. Rowland
while she trailed him. At the Inn,
I drove ahead and parked on the
other side. But while Mr. Willard’s
crowd delayed until Allen and Mrs.
Keith were well settled in their
quarters, I acted. I could tell from
the new light on the second floor,
the location of their room. With-
out stopping to ask at the desk, I
entered and went directly upstairs
as if I were an expected visitor.
When I knocked at the door, there
was a dead silence until I announced
my name; then Allen opened it cau-
tiously for me and let me in.”
“Mrs. Keith was panic-stricken,”
the secretary proceeded dramatic-
ally, “half fainting and trembling in
terror; she cried out about being
ruined by the scandal. Allen had
enough presence of mind to realize
that he had to save the reputation
of the woman he loved. He sent
both of us into the bathroom to ex-
change clothes. Luckily, we were
about the same size. Then I gave
Mrs. Keith the key to my machine
and Allen ordered her to drive back
to the city immediately.
"Even so, she had barely a mo-
ment to spare. As she stepped into
the hall, Mrs. Rowland, her brother
and Dorkin were already climbing
the stairs. To escape them, she had
to slip into an open bathroom sev-
eral doors down the corridor. Then
she waited until everyone rushed
into our room—before she sneaked
out and ran down to my car. She
probably just missed meeting Mr.
Keith on the way.”
The girl flicked away her cigar-

Rankin said:
“I suppose that covers all the:
ground, Miss Edmond, except fori
my original question. Do you think
Mr. Keith went to the Inn because
he suspected his wife would b#
there with Rowland?”
Again he sensed in her that quick
wariness.
“I’d say it was something like
that.”
“That’s very important," Rankin
returned gracely. “You had no rea-
son to shield Mortimer Keith in
this business had you?”
The girl looked startled. "Of
course not, Mr. Rankin,” she an-
swered vehemently.
“Yo« also failed to inform me,”
Rankin pointed out severely, that,
on the afternoon of the murder, Mr.
Keith visited the lawyers’ offices.
He arrived about when you did,
two-thirty-five. You couldn’t help
seeing and recognizing him in the
main office, yet you concealed that
fact from me."
“Mr. Keith there?” Jill Edmond’s
attempt at surprise held a false note.
“I swear I didn’t know, Mr. Ran-
kin; I neither saw him come in or
leave.” ,
At the sudden inspiration that oc-
curred to him at that instant, Ran-
kin shook his head savagely.
“Perhaps I can suggest a better
reason why you wanted to protect
him; you found it profitable to tell
him the truth.”
The secretary’s eyes widened with
terror.
“That is called blackmail, Miss
Edmond,” he went on, "a much
graver offense than obstructing
justice. You threatened to make
public Mrs. Keith’s infidelity unless
it was made worth your while not
to.”
“No, no, that isn’t what happened
at alll” Jill Edmond’s alarmed cry
interrupted. “I had done him a ser-
vice he would appreciate; at the cost
of_ my character, I had saved his
wife’s honor and his from public
disgrace. Surely it wasn’t too much
for me to expect some . . . reward.”
"And in that way, profit at both
ends for the same thing,” Rankin
declared curtly. "I went to see him
as soon as I got Allen to admit who
he was. And he was perfectly will-
ing to let me have the money."
Abruptly the detective rose, his
mouth grim and ominous.
“Miss Edmond,’ he warned her,
"this is your only chance; hold your
tongue and be prepared to testify
to his knowledge when called to do
so.”
“Yes, yes, Mr. Rankin, “Jill Ed-
mond promised only too fervently.
“And thank you; you can depend on
me not to breathe a word to any-
ne.”

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—With
Senators and Representatives and
almost everybody else Starting on
long-deferred vacations, the obser-
vers in Washington are surveying
the scene and uttering prophecies
with more apparent confidence
than for the past six months. Both
the President’s supporters and his
opponents are in substantial agree-
ment on several points.
Everybody recognizes now that
the fundamental issue of the poli-
tical campaign of 1936 will be
whether the nation is to go forward
along the lines of social reform,
advocated by the President, or call
a halt to 'the efforts of the Federal
Government to function in this now
field. All observers agree that
there has as yet been no general
te3L at the polls of public sentimen
on the major phases of the Presi-
dent’s social reform program. All
agree, likewise, that the leadership
of the Democratic Party, as repre-
sented both in the Senate and the
House, is far from being complete-
ly “sold" on the reform program,
although the 741th Congress, so far,
has taken its order® from Die
White House almost as completely
as did its predecessor.
Security and Relief
Two major acts of this first ses-
sion of the 74'th Congress stand
out as embodying the New Deal
principle of Federal responsibility
for social welfare. They are the
Social Security Act, providing for
old-age and ur.emploment pensions
and the Works Relief Act, with its
appropriation of $4,800,000,000 of
Federal funds to enable the gov-
ernment to give employment on
public works to the nation's unem-
ployed. The full effects of these
measures are not yet apparent, but
the principle behind them is clear-
ly defined. Mr. Roosevelt’s sup
porters are insisting that that
principle must be the major issue
of the 1936 campaign, even if it
should be necessary 'to amend the
Federal Constitution to establish
the government’s right to occupy
this field.
The Administration’s augurs are
confident that on that clear-cut is-
sue of social reform Mr. Roosevelt,
can be re-elected, while the Repub-
lican soothsayers are equally con-
fident that he can be beaten on
any such platform.
Looking ahead politically, one
forecast can be made without fear
of contradiction. That i9, that ex-
cept for the accident of death, the
upper house of the 75th Congress,
to be elected in 1936, will have a
Democratic majority no matter
which party wins the presidency.
For there are now in the Senate
49 Democrats whose terms of of-
fice do not expire until 1939 or
1941. That is one more than a
majority of the entire Senate. So
'that even with a Republican pres-
ident and a Republican House of
Representatives, a Republican ad-
ministration taking office in Jan-
uary, 1937, would find itself handi-
capped from the start.
G. O. P. Outlook
The possibility of electing a Re-
publican Congress in 1936 is as yet
merely a plaything for the statis-
ticians, who have figured out *****
about 180 of the present Democrat-
ic members were elected by ma-
jorities of 3,000 or leas, so that a I

change of 1,500 votes per disfricf.
would alter the entire complexior
of Congress. To control the House
'the Republicans must elect 116
I members in addition to the 102
seats which they now hold.
Interest in Republican presiden-
tial possibilities has been stimu-
la'ted by the poll of Republican
leaders, conducted by Robert H.
Lucas, who has been active in Re-
publican National Committee af-
fairs for years. To the surprise of
most observers, Senator Borah of
Idaho is far and away the first
choice of 'those who have been
heard frci n out of 2,600 Republican
committee chairmen, with Frank
Knox a poor second, Governor Lan-
don of Kansas, Frank O. Lowden
of Illinois, Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan and Herbert Hoover,
trailing In the order named. Sen-
ator Borah has not only been the
leading choice from 'the beginning
hut has increased his lead with
each fresh batch of returns.
In the meantime, however, Mr.
Hoover, as the latest and only liv-
ing ex-president, remains, as one
of his friends remarked recently,
(the only Republican who can al-
ways make the front page when-
