Mystery of Mr. Bartenstein’s Murderous Sword-Cane
(Continued from Page 13)
Inspector Dwayne tapped Grand-
father Punctuality on the shoulder.
“You’d better anwser my ques-
tion” he said. “I'm frorti Scotland
Yard and I want to know if you
sold that stick to Bartenstein.”
Grandfather Punctuality made a
show of relighting his pipe.
“Bartenstein” answered the In-
spector. “Come now!”
“Ah!” said Grandfather Punc-
tuality. “Maybe I did and maybe
I didn’t. I'm getting a very old
man and my memory’s a-going.”
“Come along sir” said the In-
spector. “I’ve seen enough for
what I want—l don’t think there's
much doubt about the history of
the sword-stick at this stage.”
He turned away and Lauder-
dale was about to follow him
when he suddenly felt his wrist
clutched as in a grip of steel. He
.urned to find Grandfather Punc-
uality’s burning eyes fixed on his
own.
“Did you drive it through his
heart?” he whispered. “Did you
—did you—did you? Excellent
young man! His/heart eh?—
Bartenstein’s heart! Excellent!”
CHAPTER X.
The Sword-Stick Dixappeart.
THESE enigmatic words were
spoken or rather hissed
by Grandfather Punctuality
in such a scarcely audible tone
that only Lauderdale caught them.
But Inspector Dwayne turning at
thpt moment saw the clutch on
the young man’s arm and the-
fierce gleam in the old collector’s
eyes and stopped wondering at
the meaning of the scene.
“What was he saying to you.
Lieutenant?” asked the Inspector
as they emerged into the passage.
“He seemed a bit energetic I
t ought.”
Lauderdale repeated word for
word exactly what Grandfather
Punctuality had said.
“Well look at that now!”
Dwayne exclaimed. “Seemed as
if he was glad to hear of it There's
something between him and Bar-
tenstein. I wonder what? I’ll tell
you what it is sir—this is a queer
case.”
“A very queer case” agreed
Lauderdale.
“A very strange case!” said the ;
Inspector. “And about yourself
sir I’m a good deal puzzled. Speak-
ing as a man I’ll tell you straight
out that from what I’ve already
seen and heard I believe you in-;
nocent and that Bartenstein. met
his death after you left him.”
“Thank you” said Lauderdale.
“But speaking as an officer —
why I'm afraid I ought to arrest
you” continued the Inspector.
“There's prima facie evidence
against you. Will you take my
advice Lieutenant?”
“Yes—if it seems good to me”
answered Lauderdale.
“Then I should go through with
it” said Inspector Dwayne. “If
you're conscious of your own inno-
cence you won’t mind the fullest
inquiry."
“On the contrary I should
welcome it” said Lauderdale.
“You must see that a number
of people will say that you killed '
the man in a sudden passion” said
the Inspector. “In a measure you
were rivals -”
“I shouldn’t stab a man behind {
his back!” said Lauderdale. “This |
maiuwas stabbed from behind ac- j
cording to the accounts.”
“So anybody would say that ‘
knew you sir’ answered the In- ■
spector dryly. “But the law does
not know anybody. It only knows 1
what’s put before it- And when j
there's a woman in the case be-
tween two men ”
“Let us leave that out Inspec-
tor” said Lauderdale.
“Very good sir but I’m afraid
it won't be jn either your power |
or mine to leave it out” answered i
Inspector Dwayne “there are a
lot of things one would personally
like to leave out which will force
themselves in.”
“Well” said Lauderdale a little
impatiently “what’s to be done?”i
“We’ll drive back to the Yard
and see the Chief” said the In-
spector. “It’ll be better for you
Lieutenant to go through with it
—indeed I see no other way for it. |
And in the meantime I'll be at I
work in some other direction and
to start with I'll put Mitchell on to
this old chap here. And you mark
my words Lieutenant there’ll be
something revealed yet that will be
more surprising than Bartenstein’s
murder was.”
All London woke next morning
to marvel at the latest development
in the Bartenstein case. And so as
much of London as could get there
flocked into and around Bow street
in the endeavor to see something
of the chief actors in the latest
murder mystery for there were
elements of strangeness in it which
appealed to more classes than one.
A millionaire murdered — a
young army officer implicated—-
some suspicion of a love affair—-
some mystery about the weapon
with which there could be little
doubt the deed was done — all
these were pretty ingredients to
put into a pie. Those who were
fortunate enough to obtain places
in court were treated to a certain I
amount of excitement in the fact!
that the prisoner had stipulated
that when evidence of his volun-
tary appearance at Scotland Yard
and subsequent arrest had been
given it should be read by Inspec-
tor Dwayne. And read it was to
everybody’s surprise and wonder-
ment.
“My name” this document ran
“is John Lauderdale. I am twenty-
five years of age and my present
address is 2518 Jermyn Street I
hold His Majesty’s commission and
am a lieutenant in the 42nd
Lancers. During the past fourth
years I have been abroad at for-
eign stations and only returned to
this country about a month ago. I
am acquainted with the late Mr.
Marcus Bartenstein through having
met him at the house of Sir Nich-
olas Oxenham—l think on about
four or five occasions. We were
on the footing of mere acquaint-
ances and had scarcely ever ex-
changed more than a few sentences
together.
“Yesterday evening when I had
gone to Sussex Square to dine
with Sir Nicholas Oxenham whose
family I have known most inti-
mately from childhood I received
a communication from Miss Oxen-
bam to whom I had the previous
evening become engaged to be
married which I have received her
permission to refer to here in plain
words. It was to the effect that
at noon that day Mr. Bartenstein
called upon her informed her that
her father was in serious financial
danger from which nobody but he
(Mr Bartenstein) could save him
and offered to do so on condition
that she (Miss Oxenham) married
him. He gave her twenty-four
hours to consider her answer.
“Acting on my advice Miss
Oxenham wrote a peremptory' re-
fusal which she handed to me. On
leaving Sir Nicholas’s house I de-
cided to deliver the note myself.
I called at Mr. Bartenstein’s house
in Pxincess Gate just as he re-
turned from the House of Com-
mons. He took me up tq his study
The Joyous Business of Being Well *
Constipation conquered skin and
stomach disorders corrected—youth-
ful energy renewed—by this fresh food
Not a “cure-all” not a medicine in any
sense—Fleischmann’s Yeast is-simply a re-
markable fresh food.
The millions of tiny active yeast plants in
every cake invigorate the whole system. They
aid digestion—clear the skin—banish the
poisons of constipation. Where cathartics
give only temporary relief yeast strengthens
the intestinal muscles and makes them healthy
and active. And day by day it releases new
stores of energy.
Eat two or three cakes regularly every day
before meals: on crackers—in fruit juftes
water or milk—or just plain nibbled from the
cake. For constipation especially dis-
solve one cake in hot water {not scalding)
before breakfast and at bedtime. Buy
several cakes at a time—they will keep fresh
in a cool dry place for two or three days. All
grocers have Fleischmann’s Yeast. Start eat-
ing it today!

by him. He merely replied by a

and drove home.
“I have been shown the sword-
stick with which it is believed the
crime was committed. I recognize
it aemy own property. It has been
in my family for over a century.
It was stolen from me or I lost it
in Hyde Park about three weeks
ago and I offered a substantial
reward for its recovery but failed
to get news »f it. I never saw it
from the time I lost it until In-
spector Dwayne showed it to me
this evening at Scotland Yard.
“This is all I know of the matter
and is the strict truth so far as I
am concerned.”
“He’s the cheek of the old ’un
himself that young sprig of yours
Dwayne!” remarked a confrere of
the Inspector as they lunched to-
gether that day. “Hang me if
ever I knew a more cheeky trick
than his walking in upon you with
that cut-and-dried narrative. Com-
ing the candid eh? I should think
so! Why the case is as plain as
a pike-staff!”
“Think so?” said Inspector
Dwayne who was not unwilling to
allow his friend to talk.
“Think so? Why of course I
do my boy!” replied the other.
“There’s nothing new about the
matter—it’s only a variation of a
game that’s been played by one
woman and two men ever since the
(C) 192*. t* American Weekly Inc. Greet Britain Bijhts
world possessed so much population.
It’s a back number in the way of
originality. Youthful rival—mid-
dle-aged rival—poor young man—-
millionaire ” „
“Lieutenant Lauderdale isn’t
4>00r” said Inspector Dwayne.
“He’s worth twenty thousand
pounds a year and he’s heir to a
baronetcy.”
“Ay? but the other chap was a
multi-millionaire” objected the
cynical one. “Pooh—the thing’s
plain! The boy goes there with
the girl’s note—he and Barten-
stein have a scrap-—bt. loses his
temper and pinks him. ?11 done in
a second without thinking. You
can tell he’s a hot-tempered chap.
He’ll hang Dwayne; he’ll hang—-
or it’ll be manslaughter.”
“You saw him in the dock” said
Inspector Dwayne slowly. “Do
you think a chap like that would
slab another man in the heart?
Because if you do I don’t; and I
don't believe he did it and you see
if I don’t clear him. There’s more
in this case than you or I or any-
body else thinks of I can tell you!”
“Ho ho!” said the other.
“That’s what you’re after is it?
But you were always a romanti-
cally inclined chap Dwayne; it’s
your own fault. Well you’ll have
your work cut out my boy if
you’re going in for the mystery
business. A plain road’s more to
my liking.”
Inspector Dwayne was very well
aware that he had his work cut
out; he was already firmly con-
vinced of Lauderclate’s complete
innocence. Everything that he
knew was in Lauderdale’s favor.
The chauffeur who had driven him

regularly caused stomach
trouble. Then I became con-
stipated. One day a friend
advised Fleischmann’s Yeast.
X started to eat it that day.
I slept soundly that night for
• the first time in weeks. In a
month’s time I was a new
person. Every blemish had
vanished from my skin. My
eyes sparkled. My appetite I
was excellent. All as the re- 1
suit of Fleisohmann’s Yeast.” I
Etho! Patrick Boston Mass. I
from Knightsbridge to Jermyn
street had turned up that morning
and testified that his fare was in
quite a normal condition when he
had hailed him and that he showed
no trace of excitement or discom-
posure. Lauderdale's valet who
had awaited his return had also
told Inspector Dwayne that his
master’s manner had been just as
usyal that midnight—he had eaten
a sandwich or two drunk a single
whiskey-and-soda and gone to bed.
“No he didn’t do it!” mused
the inspector as he sat in his
office that afternoon Lauderdale
being safely immured in Brixton
on remand and the sea of events
for the moment being smooth.
“I’ll stake all my professional ex-
istence on that. There’s some con-
founded mystery about the whois
thing and ten to one the secret
lies where we can never get it now
—with Bartenstein himself. Now
I wonder if there was anything to
Bartenstein’s early history? I
know he went out to South Africa
‘struck oil’ in diamonds and made
his pile—but what else was there
and how can I find out? And then
there's that stick and Grand-
father Punctuality—oh it’s a mys-
tery sure enough!”
Pondering over the problem thus
presented Inspector Dwayne half- [
unconsciously approached the cup-
board in which he fondly believed
the fatal weapon to be lodged. He
laid his hand on the latch. And |
then a sharp 'exclamation escaped I
him for the door had been forced
open and the sword-stick had dis-
appeared !

“FOR YEARS I had pimples all over my face and body

to help. I thought I would try Fleischmann’s Yeast. In
two weeks I could see the pimples drying up and no signs
of others coming. I took the Yeast for about three months.
