Delia Stewart was on her feet when the door opened again, and ran along the length of the table to meet Ward Allen, who stopped at the sight of her. eyes widen- ing with surprise—and something else that might have been alarm. “Oh, Ward!” There was a catch in her voice and she stumbled on. “You're all right, aren’t you, darling . . .?” She put her arms about his waist, but even then he did not touch her, standing quite stiff with hands at his side, a straight. tall figure. in chalk-striped gray. Only the pallor of his face sug- gested that anything was wrong; that and the tightness in his voice. “What are you doing here, ace She lifted her head. “I had to} come. { would have come any-| way. And you mustn’t worry, darling. Please. Everything will | be all right...” “I know, I know.” Joyce caught the strange re- moteness. of his voite; so did Delia. She drew back, looking up thing in the can, and because he wasn’t busy and was curious he walked down the street and took a look. It was a .32 automatic. O’Conner pulled out a pack of cigarette, waiting until he had a light before he went on. cided it was a pretty nice find and he’d keep it. Being on ar. all- night shift he didn’t get up until late afternoon. He saw the piece in the paper about Clarke, but he was a little seared then and didn’t get his nerve up until evening. After he’d turned it in, it took some time to check and have the ballistics man go over it. Other- wise we would have had you down last night, Mr. Allen. cause that gun killed Perry | Clarke.” Denial Ts time nothing changed in Ward Allen’s face, voice was composed. “I suppose all you'll have to do now is compare my fingerprints with those on. the gun—or may- be the taxi man can identify the arm that threw it.” O’Cenner’s glance narrowed ir- ritably. “There wouldn’t be any prints, except the taxi driver’s. And we don’t expect him to identify you your profile and that at a stance we're not kidding ourselves about that. But he did take down the number of the coupe and was not delivered to your garage until between eleven thirty and a quarter of twelve.” Lieutenant Bacom had _ been listening to alt this with ill-dis- guised impatience. Now he blew his nose loudly and cleared his throat. stop giving us the run-around?” he said Allen looked at him and smiled. “You already have my story,” he said. “I suppose you didn’t throw ee ae away?” “Why don’t you tell us some- body stole your car?” “You've already thought of that. So Pll say the taxi’ driver the license number.” O’Conner shrugged and stood up his glance narrow and resent- ful ‘ll explain it to the chief,” he hold him downstairs.” He put on his hat and went out. Bacon went to the window and and back stiff.

Al- yourself comfortable downstairs and we’ll see how long you stick to your story.” He strode back to the desk and pushed a button. Presently the plain-clothes man appeared. Ba- con nodded to him and he walked up to Ward Allen, touching him on the arm. and searching his face.

Where did you get the gun you threw away at about eleven thirty the night before last?” doves stared in dismay, hear- | ing Delia’s muffled gasp. ! Without moving, Ward Allen; seemed to flinch. His cheeks grew | ashen. and although the protec- tive mask he had fashioned to| hide his feelings was still pretty | good something had happened to him. Inside he was scared and} shaken; it showed in his eyes. | ‘Well, Mr. Allen?” O’Conner | said. “I’m afraid I don’t follow you.” Allen’s voice was cold again. “What gun is that?” “Was there more than one?” O’Conner was leaning forward a little, smiling. Joyce hated him cight then because something told her that in this battle of words the District Attorney’s man held all the cards. Allen looked across the table. saying nothing.
