Mr. Jupiter spoke to him then more gently thin Mary had ever heard him.

"Bruce, my son," he said, "we need you.

Will you help us?" Bruce drew himself up, refusing to meet his father's eyes. He was not yet ready to give in. "There must be some explanation" he etumnigred. "TI Fve heard both wuries. I can't-!!

You'll not spunk a word of this to De Loma or to that Woman, either!" Jupiter dared. "You hear me? I put you under lock and key if you don't give me your walimin promise not to open your mouth on the subject to either of them, until we've had a chance to make an arrest. Promise me."

There was a long minute or two of ghastly silence, broken by Bates' heartfelt exclamation, "Well, I'll be Jamned!" He laughed then-posi- dively roared.

"For being a good egg," she said, "How did you come out with your puzzle?"

"Oh, that."

"Let me get this straight." Bruce frowned. "I'm to understand that you suspect De Loma of being the man you're after?"

Jubiler, Senior, nodded.

"Good Lord!" Bruce burst out. "I despise the chap, certainly, but do you realize the absurdity of that? Why, he's an old friend of Louise's! She's known himi for yearn, and whatever else he may The surely it's nonsense to try to make him out a murderer, - thief"
