What Hollywood dance director is
being plenty "criticized for his part
in an episode that will probably send
film chorine to jail for several
months?Leslie Howard started something
when he criticized Hollywood’s .polo
players. Erik Rhodes, for one, is
pretty annoyed . He admits that
some of the film crowd have bad
mounts, but insists that poor man’s
polo, as a played, is a great sea-
soner for good player. As for
Howard’s charge that the Hollywood
recruits play the game recklessly he
snort:
“Polo is not exactly;, a lackadaisi-
cal sport. It takes eflurage, not pretty
bridle path manner."
• It ii to be hoped that all of the
prophets and sotffhsayers who are so
certain that the world is going to
precipitate into another Great War
before long, are wrong in their fore-
casts. But if the catastrophe which
they are so confidently predicting
should come to pass, it is a serious
question whether the United States
can avoid being 'involved. All
history points the other way.
We hear a great deal of talk to
effect that we were dragged into
last Great War by international
bankers or that we were the vic-
tims of British and Frencff pro-
paganda. Those are the opinions 6f
either the very young or the very’ ill-
informed.
We went into the World War
because of the overwhelming sympa-
thies of the American people were
with the Allies and against the auto-
cratic state of socialism of the Kais-
er’s government, which we, like the
other democracies of the world, fear-
ed Germany would attempt to im-
pose upon the rest of us if victorious.
We went into the War, also, be-
cause of our resentgient of the ruth-
less submarine war conducted by

but neither Bannister nor Miss Sire i
were just then in a mood to press I
a question on the anotnoly.
“Good Scotch, Mr. Bannister!
he said unctiously, “why don’t you
take a paste at it?”
“Thanks," Bannister replied cool-
ly, thrusting the palmed dirk into
his trousers pocket and keeping his
hand there, “with Miss Sire’s per-
mission, I will take a spot.”
Bannister had something more
important on his mind than the
prospect of dunking his tonsils in
Scotch whisky when he walked in-
to that »room alone. The murder
weapon was still in his pocket; by
concealing it he had become an ac-
complice after the fact. He won-
dered if Toole had been a witness
of the dramatic interlude between
himself and Karen Sire, or, not hav-
ing seen it, suspected anything.
He clinked two bottles together,
set them down without taking a
drink, and squeezed the water out
of his coat sleeve with a crunching
grip. The thought of hiding the
stiletto came to him, but he figured
that this would only bog himself
' and the girl dbeper in suspicion if
Toole actually had seen him take it
. from the aquarium.
Bannister found himself trying to
protect Karen Sire, and, at the
sime time, fiercely denying any
thought of her guilt. He associated
this girl with the soft pulse of life,
the velvet patter of ease, the secur-
ity of wealth and social position.
He knew .women, but few in her
station His excursions to the court
of Venus had been confined to fron-
tier dance halls, to the huts of hill
billies, to jungle arbors and the
sands of South Sea beaches.
The young geologist had met sun-
baked girls of the desert, blonde
Cyprians, brown, charmers. Eura-
sian nymphs qnd mestizo maids.
They had all fotmd him cold and left

“Mr. Officer," she said graciously,
“I think you’ll find somathing to

an open door. .
“Mr. Officer” thawed. “Toole’s
my name—One-Armed Toole," he
said. Yet it was with no undignified
haste that he moved toward the
door indicated. ’ ’
Bannister listened until he heard
the clink of glass and the gush of
a syphon. Then he plunged his srtn
into the aquarium and drew forth a
stiletto of triple-edged pattern.
“Yours?” he asked, turning to Miss
Sire.
“No,” she answered calmly.
“One-Armed” Toole, drawing his
right and lift hands caressingly
across his mouth, reappeared in the
doorway. He had two perfectly
him so. But the first sight of Karen
Sire had changed all this; sh* had
flung a rainbow across his horizon,
set golden bells tinkling to his brain,
and hung the gray copings of the
city with scintillant proms. Was
the joyous delirium, to prove a
dream? Was the grisly hand of
murder to sweep it all away?

tive. At the same moment a wide

seemed to possess him. Evidently
he had returned from the floor be-
low with an empty bag.
"Here’s your- new maid, Miss
Sire," he snapped. “She’s a police-

You’ve come gallivanting down to
New York without letting your
father know. Who was with you?”
CHAPTER III
Miss Sire smiled, elevsting her
eyebrows with * faintly whimsical
expression. Something of that tol-
erance which people of breeding
show to well meaning boors crept
into her voice. “Gallivanting,” she
repeated, “you’ve hit upon the very
word, captain. But I was alone.
You see, my father had taken this
place only recently, and I had never
seen it. Our home is. at Southamp-
ton—this is to serve as a town house.
I came down here yesterday just to
look it over. I'm going back to-
morrow.”
“Oh, are you?” Boyle grew sar-
castic. “We’ll see about that. Let
me tell you. miss, that a lot of ex-
plaining will have to be done before
you go back to Poughkeepsie. You’re
detained by the police, as they say
in the papers.”
He paused with a satisfied grin,
apparently conscious of having de-
livered himself with force and
authority. After which, he pitched
1 once more into Bannister. ‘I sup-
pose you’ll be wanting to go away
too—on important business, hey?
“I had a trip to Nova Scotia to ,
mind, beginning tonight.”
“On, you did? Well, just con-
sider that trip cancelled. We may .
need you as a material witness. ,
Miss Sire smiled faintly. ‘Il
agree to stay," she said in a small
■ voice. ... , , .
“So will I,” Bannister volunteered.
’ Captain Boyle rose. “I’m going
below and talk to the servants
again,” he said, addressing the man
with the tilted derby. “I want you
to stay—”
“We’ll be delighted/’ thrust in
Miss Sire. “Perhaps the gentleman
will take off his hat and make him-
self one of us. I don’t believe I
caught his name.”
“You didn’t,” said the man with
the dcrbjfflhe had risen and removed
it) “because my name wasn t men-
tioned.” He hung his hat on an
ornament of the aquarium and
walked to the window, unbeguiled
by this somewhat fresh young per-
son who didn't seem to understand
the trouble she was in.
A pause and a silence followed
Boyle’s leave-taking. His subordi-
nate, with back turned but ears ob-
viously alert, remained near- the
window. Bannister was gazing at
the pendant derby, which cast a deep
shadow down into the water of the
aquarium, leaving only k broad band
of light on clear water. Clear
water? No. It was a brackish pink.
He became interested.
Why pink water in an aquarium ?
He wallted nearer and gazed down
into the depths. Little blue and
silvery fish moved to and out of the
miniature castle at the bottom.
There were no goldfish—nothing to
create th* illusion of a reddish cast
in the water. Yes, it was pink—
not a pink to suggest the tinge of
a rose, but a pink of queer and sin-
ister shade.
"Bloodl” he breathed.
Banniater turned a penetrating
gaze upon Mis* Sire. She returned
it without a sign of emotion, per-
mitting her eyes to move sl-wly to
woman. Her .first duty will be to
search you—in there!” He pointed
to a closed door.
Bannister managed to remain
calm. “Miss Sire is not under ar-
rest,” he said. “Isn’t this proceed-
ing a little unusual?"
Boyle turned upon him with a
savage glare. “On, you're one of
them amachoor lawyers, are you? I
suppose if I start te frisk you, we’ll
hear a roar about police oppression
and constitutional rights, hey?”
An answer was on Bannister’s
lips when he stopped suddenly. He
had drawn his right hand from his
pocket snd clenched his fist. Miss
Sire glided to his side and touched
his arm. “I am willing to be
searched.” s’he said.
But that was not what paralyzed
Bannister’s tongue. He had felt a
tugging at his pocket, and when he
thrust his hand down into its depths
the stiletto was gone! Karen Sire,
with the certainty of being searched
within the next few minutes, had
deliberately relieved him of the mur-
der-weapon. He looked at Boyle, nt
: Toole, at th" policewoman. Not one
. of them gave a sign that the act had
been observed.
The girl’s face flushed a little. “It
, might be better," she said quietly,
, “if we both waived formalities and
, permitted 'Captain Boyle to follow
I his own methods.” She nodded to
the policewoman and started toward
’ the door, plucking Toole’s derby
from its perch as she passed the
aquarium. “Yours, isn’t it?” sh'
aske 1. extending the hat towan
him.
Toole took the derby, hold it awk-
wardly as she brushed past him,
then dropped it over the head ’of a
small Vends de Milo, hiding that
celebrated lady's charmk
