DAWSON admired this changed
Ara. All the pretense, all the
hardness, even the smoky, sultry
lights in her eyes were gone. In-
stead he saw a girl in love—a girl
who has found love for the first
time. She was willing to do any-
thing to save the man she loved
from the trap she had created.
She was weeping quite unasham-
edly now, begging for John Doug-
las’ freedom.
But Dawson could not let senti-
ment, nor admiration, nor pity
sway his decision. If she had
proof. . . . “You were in the pas-
sageway, you said. Where were
you when the shot was fired?”
Ara resumed her story, a little
more composed. “I was almost
halfway to the hall door. I stood
there terrified. Then the study
door slammed. I was afraid some-
one would come down the passage,
so I ran back to the street. I hid
in the shadows and in a few min-
utes I saw Mr. di Torio come out
of the passageway. I’m sure it
was he. I saw his face when he
stopped beneath a street light. .

HAPPY RELIEF
FROM PAINFUL
BACKACHE
Many of those gnawing; nagging, painful
backaches people blame on colds or strains are
often caused by tired kidneys—and may be
relieved when treated in the right way.
The kidneys are Nature's chief way of taking
excess acids and poisonous waste out of the
blood. They help most people pass about 3 pinta
a day.
If the 15 miles of kidney tubes and filters
don’t work well, poisonous waste matter stays
in the blood. These poisons may start nagging
backaches, rheumatic pains, loss of pep ana
energy, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes, headaches and dizziness. Fre-
guent or scanty passages with smarting and
burning sometimes Bhovs there is something
wrong with your kidneys or bladder.
Don't wait I Ask your druggist for Doan’e
Pills, used successfully by millions for over 40
years. They give happy relief and will help the
15 miles of kidney tubes flush out poisonous
waste from your blood. Get Doan's Pills.

She hurried on before Dawson
could voice a question. “I left the

door and was feeling my way

“HELLO, Captain! Sorry I
took—” Dan Flynn’s greet-
ing froze in his throat as he
pushed through the front door,
stared at the group gathered at the
foot of the stairs. Before he could
manage another'word, he caught
sight of di Torio’s body.
“Joey?” he asked, softly.
“Yes,” Dawson replied. “Mur-
dered. Just like Benthorne. Joey
knew too much . "
"He could have been a good guy,
if he’d been on the right side of
the fence,” Flynn eulogised. “I’ll
miss bringing you in, Joey. . . .”
“This man Douglas killed him,”
Dawson interrupted. “Put hand-
cuffs on him and don’t let him out
of your sight. Don’t let any of
them out of your, sight. Take
them all into the living room and
keep them there. . . . Krone,
when did the coroner say he’d be
here?"
“Captain,” Flynn began, “Just

“I don’t care a b o u t your
hunches'” Dawson shouted, his
anger mounting. "Get in that liv-
ing room and stay there. When I
have time to listen to your
hunches, I’ll send for you. Are
you going to obey orders, Flynn?”
“Yes, Sir."
Dawson turned back to Krone
and di Torio’s body. “I want that
Yesterday: After di Torio in
killed, Dawson rounds up the
four, questions them. Ara was
resting* Alston still asleep. Mrs.
Benthorne was telephoning.
Douglas had remained in the
ntudy. “How do you explain the
damp mud on your shoes t” Daw-
son asks Douglas.
CHAPTER XVIII
“OOOH, John!” Ara’s appeal-
ing cry confirmed the truth
of Dawson’s statement. Douglas
glanced down at his shoes. The
gray-brown mud accused him.
"You were in the study, all
right, listening to everything that
Joey said to me,” Dawson shot at
him. “You heard us come out of
the passageway, go into the living
room. You stood, right where
you’re standing now and when
Joey peered around the corner,
you killed him.
“ -“Then you ran down the pas-
sageway to the street, doubled
back across the lawn and climbed
in the study window. You ought
to know your way along that
route pretty well by now, Douglas.
It’s the second time you’ve been
over it.”
‘THERE was plenty of evidence
- that Douglas had come in the
window. Dawson’s eyes picked up
a moist outline of a shoe on the
carpet by the window and outside
he found almost • perfect foot-
prints. Douglas hadn’t had the
time to cover up his trail as he
had last night.
The gun would be found soon.
Paraffin tests would cinch the case.
Maybe the Chief would give Daw-
son a vacation. . . .

Douglas. . . . And all for an uncle
he had never seen. And that girl
—Ara—how deep was she mixed
up in this. Good kid, too. Had
a lot of tough breaks. . . . Losing
Douglas was only another one.
Dawson looked up, started as
Ara entered the study. “I told
Flynn—”
“But I convinced him I had
something important to tell you.”
“I’ll break that Irishman, so
help me!”
“Really, Captain, I couldn’t go
far. Officer Krone is at the foot
of the front stairs, Flynn is hold-
ing down the living room." -
“There's the passageway. . .
“I had forgotten it—so you see,
I really wanted to see you. You’re
going to try to pin these murders
on John, aren’t you?”
“It’s a pretty clear case.”
“You believe, don’t you, Cap-
tain,” Ara went on earnestly, “that
John came in the passageway,
killed Benthorne, blocked the
door, and went out the window?”
“That’s about it. And today he

TEN minutes later she rose to
- leave.
“It will be dangerous for you,
but I’ll try to see that you are
protected,” Dawson assured her.
“I’m not afraid,” she said, eyes
shining. “It’s a chance I have to
take to prove John is innocent.”
“By spreading the report that
you, too, like Joey, actually saw
the person who killed Benthorne,
we may tempt the killer to strike
again. But don’t be surprised if
Douglas tries to take a shota£ you.
He may have been plarininjjLto Rut
