That’s a motive we can use. Before—or after—he was) shot, somebody lifted that hun-| dred yrand.” He shot a glance at} Sergeant Keogh. who was leaning against the door-frame. “Not bad,” he said. and turned again to Hestor. “You don’t seem very worried about that loss.” “I lon’t see how it concerns me now,” she said. “The bonds were his, weren’t they? I mean if you recovered them I couldn’t have them, could I? Wouldn't they go in his estate?” Bacon looked annoyed and did not bother to disguise his feel- ings as Hestor went on. “Now all I have is a receipt for | the bonds. I hope you find them | because I hepe you find out who | killed him, but I don’t see how it will do me any good.” She twisted one hand and inspected | the scarlet nails. “It’s been rather a shock to me, you know. I still can’t quite believe that he—that he’s dead.” Her voice died away and there was a moment of silence while she regained control of it. “Neither do I quite understand our line of questioning. If I'd ad any idea that such a thing Was going to happen I certainly wouldn’t have given him the money, would I? I could just as well have waited a day or two.” Once again, the telephone saved Bacon a reply. He sat down and answered it, saying: “Bacon speaking. Yes, Malloy. +... You have, huh? . . . Good. Bring him out here. Yes, right away.” He was feeling better when he hung up. He rubbed his palms briefly, a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes. “Mr. Thorndike ... would you mind telling me the—ah—status of Mrs. Losado’s account? That is, just what it amounts to and—” “That’s hardly a matter to dis- cuss here,” Thorndike said. “But if Mrs. Losado—” “I don’t mind at all.” Thorndike spread his hands. “Roughly it amounted to about . hundred and fifty thousand dol- jars.” “Before you handed out the hundred?” CRE 5, : Tough Going ACON went on with some other questions and Joyce: lurdock k the opportunity. to ‘study } an 'Thorndike.

I originally hired Ward to help cut on it. He had the sort of training I needed and it worked out all right. Since then he was able to branch out with these two accounts which he developed, but he’s still my assistant on the letter.” Bacon said, “Thanks very much. . . How well did you know Clarke, Mr. Allen?” Joyce stole a glance at her hus- band, noticing that he seemed looked back at Ward Allen, who MRS.

At least that’s where the argument After that you went into the li- brary.” “Perhaps I did,” Allen said. “T remember now. The maid was in the hall, too, wasn’t she?” Bacon eyed him pase ay, and changed his tack. “What time did you get home last night?” “Around ten.” “Stay in, did you?” “Yes. I read until about one | and then—” “Then how does it happen that | you put your car away around | eleven thirty?” John Nason SOMETHING happened to Ward Allen’s face, tightening it about the mouth, yet when he spoke his pore remained polite and inflexi- le. “Isn't that as good a time as any, Lieutenant? I didn’t put it up when I came home because I thought I might Later I remembered it and had to go down and put it away.” “How far is the garage from | your place?” “You know as well as I do,” Allen said. “It’s a half a block, | isn’t it? Perhaps a little more.” “Hardly far enough, though, to |, bother with the hat and topcoat you were wearing.” “Far enough when it’s chilly.” “T see,” Bacon said, in a tone which indicated he neither saw | nor believed. “What about you, Mrs. Murdock?” Joyce smiled at him. “You | mean, where was 1?” Bacon | nodded and she said: “I had din- ner with Kent at nine and went home a little after ten.” | “And stayed there?” “Yes.” “Miss Stewart?” Delia exchanged quick glances with Joyce, looked up at the ceil- | ing and spoke with studied cas- ualness. “I was home by ten, I | think. I didn’t go out again.” The police stenographer was jotting all_this in a notebook | and.when Bacon decided he had everything down he inclined his | head at Hestor. “Were you here all evening?” “I was exhausted,” Hestor said. “Some of my guests didn’t leave | ‘puntil after nine. I went directly to my room, took a hot bath and went to bed.” Bacon asked the. same question of Murdock, who grinned and said he was working, and of Thorndike, who ‘stated that he was at his club—he wasn’t sure just when he left, but the boy on the desk could tell when he was checked out. With this there was a_ sound of movement in the adjoining | room. Keogh craned his neck, scowled and disappeared. “John Nason’s here,” he said a moment later, and, stepped aside. The man who entered was oi average height and powerfully | built. His face was smooth and squarish, his eyes blue and cold and his hair was so blond one had to look closely top-coat was still buttoned and he carried his hat in his hand. “Sorry to be late,” he said after nodding stiffly to the room at large. “And I’m afraid I can’t | stay long. Just what was it you | wanted of me, Lieutenant?” Bacon told him, answering with equal bluntness. “Did you know a. Clarke?” “No.” “What about this, then?” The lieutenant “Sllered a slip e To be.continued 4 VOW VV YEE 515 Front Street « = Phone 66f The Southernmost Mattress Factory in the United States @ MATTRESSES RENOVATE. @ FURNITURE UPHOLSTERED 1308 CATHERINE STREET Phone No. 8 DOCOCOTOOO OOO HOOOOOOCOOOOCOO OOOO OSOOOOO OOOO OOOOOOROOOOOOOO® SSOSOOHROSHOSHOSOSSSSSSESSSSESESESESESSESESEEEES KEY WEST BEDDING CO,/DR.
