PAGE FOUK by Frances Shelley Wees YESTERDAY: At the garden party Miss Lissey takes Duncan aside and speaks to him vehe- mently. Later she calls Michael, Tuck and Bunny over to her house, and tells them she knows the murderer. Chapter 30 ‘I Know Too Mucli’ “TLL begin at the beginning,” said M . “The night school closed. I ad been at a party. It was a very stupid party, and I hadn’t been enjoying my- self, but I stayed late. Very late. It was after two o'clock when my taxi dropped me at the Univer- sity, and I started to walk through the back path.” She must have seen the interrogation in Michael's glance, for she interrupted her- self to say, “I had dis d the | taxi there, because I didn’t want | anyone to know h te it w when I got home.

And just after I pa: the fork in the path and turned t} way, I heard someone coming, dis tinctly, I slipped off the path, and hid behind a tree.” Michael’ was lea I Bunny as pale as d “For a minute I could out what I saw or w ing.

It was humiliating for her to come here as a Profes- sor’s wife, and live next door to me, when I knew her secret. She’s as common as dirt. If she’d tell the truth it wouldn't be so bad. . . I'm wandering again. Where was on ‘Spoil His Life’ ‘OU were saying they weren’t happy. But—I want to ask one question very much, Miss Li. sey. How does it happen that Mrs. Murchison was a servant? The Devoes surely might have helped her.” She looked at him sharply. “Why the Devoes?” “Her relatives?” “Humpf. They're not her rela- tives.” “What! “Not a bit of it. She’s always been scared stiff I'd tell that too.” “But... they say they are re- lated, Miss Lissey. “Well, they’re not. You won't catch old Mrs. Devoe owning to any such relationship. It’s just some other tie, that’s all, and De- voe and she have some devil’s business together. She lived in fear that her husband would find out she’d lied to him.” “Poof.

I heard loud voices in the study. . . . I listened. It was Duncan talking to his sister-in- Jaw. It nearly broke my heart. I thought —I never thought she could make him look at her. I thought he was above her. But I was mistaken it®seems, He was saying ... ‘Marie, Marie, this can’t go on. I can’t stand it. We've got to end it somehow. I'll kill him, I tell you. That’s one way out!” Bunny’ 's head went down slow- $s a flower droops on its stalk. I must have a glass of * Miss Lissey said queerly. Iicr eyes were strange. She held a hand to her heart.

Bunny was already at the tele- phone, and it was only a few min- utes before they heard the doc- tor’s car coming from the Univer- | sity. He ran in, put his hand on the unconscious woman's head, glanced into her eyes, and felt her pulse. He turned to Michael. “T'm_afraid it’s too late,” he said. “She’s dead.” ‘It’s My Fault’ N ICHAEL was in the Commis- sioner’s office early, after a sleepless torney was ght.
