You ‘look as if you'd been up all night.” ES detective thumped the skein rope on the table with sudden ry. “Another life gone and 1 feel 'm partly responsibil. Ishould have Agured out that rope trick sooner. Now that youngster ts: out-of the way and-the whole damned business ‘to do-over again!” ee _ “What do you mean, Steve?” Lat. terty gasped. “In plain words, Donaghy's sul- ride fs a ‘fake,’ a ‘plant.’.He was murdered, just ‘like the:others.

Yon see where | this leaves us?” _ “But good God, man, where is Boing to.end?” ‘ | “Idon't know, but Ido know that Donaghy never went to-any gam- bling house and lost his ‘roll.’ You remember that it snowed again from Seven to eleven o'clock last night. I waited -here wntit him. How did he get back into the garagé after that. without leaving his oWn footprints‘in the snow?” ‘Lafferty Shrugged. “| BELIEVE.” ‘Harper continied. “that Donaghy: teft ‘this house and went directly to his room and stayed theve. At that time it wasn't showing. ‘But ff he dfd that, ‘he ebuldn’t have lost his money gam- bling and that would make that. much of ‘the letter a Ite. Yet the! loss of that money is given as 3 ma- Jor reason. tor the suicide.” t “Hmm. What about Donaghy’s ibi for the night of the murders? looked all right to me.” “Yes, and it looked all right to @e. It was the average sortiof ‘ac ount that is genuine in ninety-nine ‘times in a hundred. It's ‘fot the too- foxy kind that can account for every Minute, because the need for that Was borne in mind.” | Harper turned the signet ring iMly in his fingers. “I can’t quite Swallow “Harry Dorey,’” he said. “The bare name “suggests nothing, | explains nothing. Why did this H:D. buy a disguise in order to look like Butresne? We've got the right an- @wer as to how the eseape was @ulled off and perhaps the name of the murdered man, but along with these two answers we get about a flozen new questions to wrestle with.” Lafferty said, “You told me that the wound was in typical suicide form—with the gun muzzle pressed firmly against the bead. I suppose you realize that a murderer rarely‘ Bets a chance to hold the gun that Way, unless he catches his victim asleep or unconscious?” “Asleep, or unconscious, or—” “Or what?” Lafferty pressed. “You just gave me an idea,” Har- | per answered guardedly, “but It’s still too hazy to discuss. Here's what I want you to do, Jack. Take O'Connell and go back to the ga- rage. Give It a goof mpping-out, es- pecially for anything that might have a bearing on the sutcidemar der. question.” After Lafferty had gone Harper paced the length of the room rest- lessly, fitting this wew design ‘nto the jumbled mosaic formed by all the known angles ‘of the case. “A very pretty theory.” he growled to elf, “but how to prove it? How to prove it?” [AT was that mark where the Nght gleamed across the pol- _ Idbed wood of the table?

And -there, against this improved background, “Donaghy's confession is not signed.” : ; he Saw, and like a thunderclap the truth burst upon bim in one flash. A hand, a clenched hand, had pounded on that table, pounded in anger, and on one of the fingers had been a ring, most certainly a ring with two stones set in it, two gems ‘set diagonally to each other! “Good God! Aline Croyden!” Harper could never téll..after- wards whether) he had cried that name aloud in, the shock gt:discov- | ery or whether that accusing shout his bh existed only-N dint bt instinet.pultett his head’ around: }Cago,,White Sox in the first game sharply in the direction ofsthe @oor. There. was now ,an open; where the door had been closed. and in that spacé stood—Aline Croyden. A tiny black hat sat modishly on her -shining hair, but her face was. tragic, with a desperate purpose visible in the fixity of her gaze. ‘Without a word she stepped into the room and on the hand that held her gloves gleamed that telltale ring. But the right hand was hidden in the fold of ber coat, and looking into her eyes, Sergeant Harper read many things, not the least of which was the knowledge-of what she held in that concealed hand. She reached behind her and iocked the door. (Copyright, 1934, by Walter C. Brown) Mra, hears, story. Hal tomorrow, Croyden’s e200 u | !chemical engineer, born in Boston, !
