PAGE’FOUR WMRS. MURE TAKES A CASE Chapter Nine Bad News OMETHING ran swiftly salong Joyce’s nerves and left them cold and tingling. She put her pn on Delia’s, and ‘said. quiiek- gBut what did you do?” "g jumped up and spilled my arifik. I certainly didn’t want ‘to be found alone with Perry Cliirke. He must have been a little upset too. He hurried mé into-a hall. “*You can wait here if you like, he said. I told him that I'd come back. Just then the knock- ing started again, and so he said there was a door in the kitchen and I could go down the back- stairs. ‘And be sure you make it quiet.’ he said.” Delia pressed Joyce’s hand. “He went back to the living room and closed the door. I stdod there a moment—the hall was lighted— and noticed that there were two rooms opposite each other. One was a bedroom.” “Delia!” Joyce caught breath. “You didn’t—” “I did.” (Delia said. “The mo- ment I thought of it I knew I'd do-it. I was stiff with fright and yet.I couldn’t help it. No one cotld hear me. and something told me I'd have time... . 1 thére were two bags in the closet ang the first one_I opened held two envelopes. One was thick ang bulky and I opened the flap. It was filled with . moneyon botids or stock of some kind— and. lots of it. . Weill, I knew that couldn’t be what Ward wanted so I put it back and picked up the other one.. When I saw what was in it, I took it.” her Joyce leaned back. unable to] }, summon any further capacity for surprise. “All right,” “What was in it?” “Wait until I tell you the rest,” Delia said. “I went back in the hall—I could hear voices but I couldn’t hear what was said— and’ tiptoed through the kitchen and. out the back door. \I was.ac- tually shaking I was so excited: and I kept stumbling and: feeling my ray along in the darkness, Finally I got outside, but it was just as dark there, although I could see a street light at. the end of the alley. I hurried back to the corner and started across the street.in front of the apartment she said. house ‘where I’d_ parked. And} >, then, just: before I’d reached ymy. do about it. Will you keep it for in. ease the police do come?” “I don’t imagine they will,” Joyce said. “Perhaps we'd better look. at. it.” Delia went to’ her coat and pro- duced the envelope. Joyce took out “four »pieces of: paper. Two them were newspaper clippings printed in Spanish. one of them a, two column story with a pic- turt.of ‘Ward near the top. The other two, she saw at once, had nothing to do with, Ward, but concerned Perry Clarke. The first was (the photostatic copy of a marriage certificate. a French document dated in November, 1937 and stating that) Hestor.and: Perry Clarke ‘had been married in Paris: the second was a copy: of.a divorce, also issued in Paris, ey bearing the date of August “and even that’s an understate~ ment.” She gave her attention to the Stipgings. “Can you read Si ? rae oar you know what these se tWell—not- really. saw Ward's picture—and the headline. ’'m not sure I want to know. I mean —she pavsed. eyes anxious ann disturbed — “do you think should, Joyce? Oh, I don’t know what to do.” ‘The Call \IQYCE realized what she meant. She Had aismattering of: Span- |ish,- enough .to know that the headline of -one ¢lipping said something§ about an“American be- ing arrested in a jewel theft. that the, other announced Ward fAllen had been released in $2500 “Should I just seal the en- velope and mail it to Ward?” pane said. “And not let him know where it came from? Or should I tell him everything and jet him know it doesn’t matter to me?” Joyce had. been reading as the girl spoke, and from what she could .gather frem her sketchy translation .it-seemed that Ward had been the: guest of a Countess de Ferani at a,small: party, which had lasted most.of the night, ac- companied much drinking Upon awakening later in the day the: Countess had discovered the Joss of a pearl necklace and 2 valuable bracelet whith —had een found subsequently in Ward ‘Alleh’s:rooms *ECHAL XMAS DITION ‘POR FIRST. le of a century): thatia:special Christ- mas.mumber has:not -been pub- lished. ‘Throughout the depression The Citizen issued.a’ Christmas -num- ‘ber each year.
