WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1940 By Ann Demarest YESTERDA Christine How- arth feels there is something defi- nitely wrong with the house. She sees a hand on her window-pane, overhears Mr. Kimball’s niece in a restaurant saying, “I’m afraid,” and when she knocks on the girl’s door later, there is no answer. Chapter Three Murder HERE was nothing I could do} but go back to my own room, without an electric light bulb. As I turned back I had the uncom- feeling that someone was g me from the stairway leading to the third floor. I made myself lookup. “After all,” thought, “this is a New York apartment, not a haunted house.” The light was so dim I couldn’t make out*whether it was a man or a woman crouched near the top of the stairs. But there was someone there. As I leaned forward to see better the person moved quickly up to the third floor hall. somewhere upstairs a dog barked shrilly. I knew on a dog I'd seen. Feeling more bewildered than frightened, I stumbled back to my cold, dark apartment. After a few I opening it cautiously. A, girl in a thing. It wasn’t | | the quarreling. I didn’t move. I just huddled under the _ bedclothes. afraid even to see if the lights were on; and never taking my | morning. All night long it seemed to me that people were going up and down the stairs, passing the door. Finally I must have dozed, because it was broad daylight when I wak- ened, still feeling cold, and con- scious of someone screaming out- | side my door. I jumped out of bed and:ran to the dresser for my watch. It was half-past eight. I could hear some- one in the hall now, so I alipped into my mules, pulled my robe over me and went to the door, dark dress and blue gingham apron, apparently the maid, was lying in the hall flat on her back. A woman was bending over her. A short, stout woman in a green and yelow bathrobe, with her hair down her back in a gray wis] | braid. As I came into the hall the And | woman jerked upright, her eyes bulging. Scared To Death myypne are you?” she shrieked: Hastily I tried 'to explain and woman, though seemingly minutes distracted search, I found my cigarette lighter and, holding it in one hand, I tried to lock the door with the other, but whether it was nervousness or jn the ex- slightly mollified, still .regarded me with a dubious eye. “Bring water,” she said. “There's. been murder.” “Murder,” I echoed, looking -| East Coast’ League. eyes from the door, I waited for THE KEY WEST CITIZEN LEGALS THE OIRCUIT COURT or.

I clung to the banister and my bones turned to water. Last night I'd knocked at the door of that apartment. I’d tried to get into a room where someone had been murdered. Then I thought of the man who | had rushed into my room and I got cold all over. The woman, still kneeling on the | floor beside the girl, looked up at me. “Bring water,” she said. “She's fainted.” Stumbling back to the apart- ment, I filled a glass with water, but. my. hands were shaking so badly that by the time I got back ; to the hall the glass was almost empty.

Perhaps this woman had exaggerated, I thought wildly. Anyway, how did she know it was murder? There must-be something I could do. I was scared to death, but I walked over to the open door of the apartment. When I first: glanced iaround there was nothing: out of the ordinary. The room was terribly cold—one of the windows was open—and the curtain was blowing about, wet and bedrag- gled.
