How They Reduced

Most prnpls everywhere kee slender In these days. Wherever you loo , the greet majority of men and women are combat-

g lat.

Ask bow they do ll-ls and many will mention Marmols. Thu famous prescrip- tlun has for i8 years been reducing excess lat. Millions have learned its efficlengrfifhe results are seen in every circle now. lmost everyone has slender friends who owe their figures to Manhole.

Users have told others, until people sre taking 100.000 Marmola tablets daily. The treatment has come into world-wide use. No abnormal exercise, no starvation diet. Just a Ieasnnt tablet. No secrets. We slate every ngrrdient and lell how Manhole acts. You know exactly why and how re- duction comes.

Then why remsln over-fat? Every Idea of benuly and efficiency forbids. When so many people keep slender so easily, why not find out how? You owe that lo yourself.

I've never heaxd of one that succeeded in doing it, and ,i'\'e read quite a few mtmler cas- |e:<. '

"It's the law of retribution, Bar- ry——or something that amounts to the same thing. You know. I im- agine I can visualize that murder. and trace the man who did lit through every step he took. After it was over. oi course. God! I can't bear to think of the actual

In this case, you know, the murderer was so confident 0f not being traced ‘that out of sheer bravado, he deliberately left the handkerchief on the scene." ‘Maybe not bravado entirely". put in Barry. "Perhaps he mlcul- ated to throw the police onto the [wrong scent by bringing in the ‘woman angle. You know how they persisted in believing some wom- an waa mixed up in it. And then. of course, when Olga Iliaynard en- tered into lit, they just knew they

were right. They still thiuk so back in Grafton, Jim." "Well. of course, the handker-

chief wouldn't have led us any- where, but the murderer failed to reckon with the yellow stub. You know, Harry." he said muslngly, "that phrase ‘the yellow stub.’ sort of facinates me. It isn't just at theater ticket coupon. To me it's always been the yellow flllll), ever Qince that night in that awful room when someone-oh yée. it was a newspaper reporter—picked it up and remarked that ll would make a good headline. He called it "the mystery of the yellow stub."

"They neverueed the headline dill they?"

"No. Detective Mooney got him aside and asked him, as a big lav- or, not to mention it In the story. Mooney explained that they want- ed he murderer to think that the handkerchief was the only ciew. lie said the reporter kicked like the devil but finally consented, Iin- nsmuch as none of the other Dewa- papem knew about it, because oi some favors Mooney had shown him III the past."

"I'II be seeing Mooney tomor- row-nbout the ring. and Marie Real. I'm leaving for Grafton

early In the morning."

"Oh yeo—and by the way. Bar- ry. here's a funny thing." Jlimmy produced a letter from the front of llla coat, which was hanging over the back of a chair. “I got this letter today. Now, as a smart young criminal lawyer, suppose you see what you can make of lt."

Barry read it. "Who is this Miss Caton?" he asked after he had lin- Ished. referring to the signature.

IShe was a stenog-rapher and a sort of secretary to that fellow Porter who fired me from my job with the laundry."

"And she says she thinks you were the victim of a frame-up." He read from the letter: " ‘A man came in that morning and asked-if Mr. Rand worked there. .l showed him to Mr. Porter and the two of them talked a while and I heard them mention your name. Late that afternoon you were discharg- ed. I'm sure that's what they were "Willis about.‘ The reason I wrote to You la that I saw the same man today, riding In an automobile.’ "

Berry raised an head from the letter. "There you are-framed, all right. The bozo who in so an- xiloue for you to clear out In try- lng to make it easier for ylou."

"Don't talk about It." eeld Jim- my. "I'm weary of it and I'm go- lug to sleep."

Barry left for Grafton the next morning. taking with him the nlng 811i! Promising to be back ea soon as possible.

"You need a bodyguard, you cllllmll.’ wae his parting shot et Jimmy.

brothers or sisters?" he ask- ed.

O'Day eat and pondered. "I'm not sure," he said finally. "There

was some talk or rumor that he had a sister. but it's been too long to remember. I sort of think there was a sister."

Jimmy said: "Barry Colvin brought a ring when he came here. It had the name ‘Marie in It and my father» Initials on it. It was Marie Real, of course."

"More than Ilkely." assented O'Day, "but does it mean any- thing?"

"Nothing. ‘except that I'm going to run it down if I can. I'm sure that the mouive for my father's murder comes somewhere from out of his past. That's why it's worth investigating."

He reached for his hat. "If there was any way of tracing my grand- father-if he did have a sister that might be able ‘p tell us something. or that might help us clear up this. this fog—then we might get some- where." "You can never ten, Rand. May- be someone who loved Marie Real and was jealous of your father-J’. “Hardly. She would be as old an my father now. it would be warit- ing a long time for revenge." "But people are strange. Some- time; they do wait for the right ClIBIICO—-SOIIIQ vol’ them."

He felt certain as he threaded his way home, that old Thaddeus Rand somehow held the key to this baffling mystery.

Perhaps old Thaddeus was dead, and. if so, the secret. might be locked wlith him in his grave. Per- haps Marie Real if she were still alive could point the way. . . . . He reflected that this thing that had happened to Henry Rand could have happened to few men. There were very few about whom so Iittie was known—even by their own families. Henry Rand him- self. he admitted, was nearly as much of a mystery as his murder. Pleasure-bound
