TWO ARRESTED FOR VAGRANCY | Sheriff Berlin Sawyer and} Deputy Joe Knight, in their drive to see that men in Key West either go to work or leave town, arrested Talmadge Carey Saturday night on a charge of vagrancy. Deputy Knight also Johnny Bauss, whom he arrested found | MRS. MURDOCK TAKES A CASE Chapter 29 Up Fhe Dark Stair IN FRONT of the doorway she hesitated, and looked up and down the street. Suddenly she found herself shivering. Not from cold, for the night was warm, nor from fear; but from the full knowledge of what the delivery of the envelope meant. Until now she had been able to keep this thought well back in her mind. But there it was and she had no choice. Better to betray the secret of Ward Allen’s South American trouble than to have the police find out that he was in Perry Clarke’s apartment at the time of the murder. The wooden treads were worn in smooth hollows and each had a sound of its own as she put her weight upon it. In all that still- ness the creaking of her progress was loud and disconcerting, but she went steadily upward, one hand on the banister, neither hur- tying nor lagging. In itself, the second floor was dark, the only light coming through a frosted glass panel halfway down on the lefthand side. Although she realized that this must be the office she sought, she paused for a second to orient herself. _ There was no sign on the door, just the number 26; and in the lefthand lower corner the notice: Enter 24. She went back to the Bee door, took a breath and ocked. The effort was weak, as she re- alized when she heard it, so she knocked again, aware now that some light was also filtering through this panel. Alarm struck at her when there was no answer and she was about to knock again when a muffled voice bade her enter. “Come in.” partly open, noting that the room was in darkness and that the light she had noticed came from the adjoining office, the door of which was open. She pushed on, her eyes on the lighted doorway beyond as she felt behind her to close the door. She was never quite sure what warned her. She heard nothing, saw nothing but the lighted door- way. She sensed rather than felt the threat, and suddenly, with nothing more than this premoni- tion, she knew that someone else was here in this room. Close to her. Something fell about her and the weight of heavy cloth settled over her head. She screamed once but the sound was stifled at her lips. The quick hard pressure of two arms went about her should- ers and the fabric was rough and tight against her face, and when she tried to scream again there was no air. She could not breathe. Her senses reeled anc the strength went from her body and she was sinking down and down and down.... Out Of The Night [EN Joyce Murdock saw De- lia go through the darkened doorway and disappear, she was sitting well forward on the seat, her arms circling the wheel. She remained that way until she re- alized what she was doing, then she leaned back, found a cigar- ette and fired it with the car lighter. Going back over the sequence of events which had led up to this rendezvous, she realized how difficult it would be to commit the perfect crime. This line of thought ended abruptly in a new and startling conclusion and she wondered why on .Whitehead street, on same charge.

Shine, Box 2024, Route I, Jack- sonville, Fla., has recently been assigned to the Harbor Defense of Key West as a battery command- er with the Coast Artillery. The son of Mrs. C. N. Holand, 80- 15 Grenfall Avenue, New Gardens, Long Island, N. Y., Lieutenant Shine joined the National Guard in 1935 and was called to active duty in January, 1941.

He had done this to watch Clarke. He knew who had called on him and he probably had ac- cess to Clarke’s apartment. Who was he? Delia didn’t know. She had described him but that was all. Suppose they could find out? If they could learn that much it might even be advisable to go direct to the police. With Ward Allen’s South American trouble no longer a secret, the eavelope was no longer so important; the chief thing now was to learn the | much. Sudaenly she knew what she should do. She should try to find out where the man went. Joyce reached for the door handle. She | could see the doorway quite well from here but if she tried to leave the car after he came out he would hear her, whereas if she got out now she could stand be- |hind the car, out of sight, and be \ready to go, She got her fingers on the handle. That’s where they stayed. Because just then something moved in the shadow of the door. way and assumed the shape of a man. Identified! HE leaned a little nearer the car window. Even in the shad- ows she could see that he was quite tall, and then luck favored her and he turned right, toward the dimly-lighted window ad- jacent to the doorway and the only relatively bright spot in that part of the block. The first thing she saw was that | he carried something in his hand, something oblon; and_ white which he stuffed in his coat pocket; then he had stepped in front of the window, his figure silhouetted against the light, and in some way a part of that light was reflected on his profile. For that first step or two she peered at him with quickly mounting incredulity; then the tension within her wound up like a spring. That profile, that figure was familiar. The way he carried himself, the sharp angle of nose and jaw. It couldn’t be and yet— she knew it was. That man was Raeburn—Don Losado. He was gone before she could conquer her surprise. The night shadows had swallowed him and she was sitting with her face pressed against the glass staring at the empty sidewalk in front of the dimly-lighted window. She found her muscles taut anw stiff and sat back. Raeburn! So he was the one? Well, there was no need to follow him now. She found relief in this thought. She hadn’t really known whether she would be quite up to the task she had set for herself, and now it didn’t matter. s She glanced at the electric clock {on the instrument panel.

She found herself listening for the sound, and presently the ticking seemed |to grow more distinct, fashioning jan annoying sequence that beat against her eardrums. It was her nerves. She knew that and told herself she was be- | ing silly. i To be continued JUST RESTLESS By CARROLL J.
