When'I came out it was some- thing after four o'clock. The in- wner_ Barnes was quite content. And, as a matter of fact, the mental Barnes was feeling pretty good, too, thank you. I had done me an awful lot of serious think- ing, and some guessing. And the result was that I felt sure that not many more pieces were needed to be fitted into place to give me the whole picture. Any- way, it seemed that way to me, as I popped into a cigar store and called Paula’s apartment. No answer. I look at my watch. Four-thirty. No use, now, callin the couple of places where might have found her earlier. My best bet was the Biltmore Cock- tail Lounge. Dropping in there around five was a daily custom of ours, whether together or alone. I had no sooner walked. under the clock than I saw her. Sitting right at our usual table, and with ..+ + guess who? None other than Gordon Parrish! I started threading through the tables toward them. Paula saw me first, and smiled brightly. Relief, or spite, I didn’t know. “Hello, darling!” she said. “You're early, too. Did you have a nice trip?” I didn’t even look at Parrish. Not yet. I grinned, bent over and kissed Paula. y “A lovely trip, lovely,” I said. “You should have been along. Hello, Parrish. Eurlich all right, now? “Yes, quite all right, Mr. Barnes,” he said, and hitched over a little to make more room for me. “And I would like to say that he got what he deserved. I apologize again.” “Forget it,” I said, and tried TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES (Know America) 1749—(200 years ago) Isaiah Thomas, Boston and Worces' Mass., publisher-printer and pa- triot, historian of the press, founder of American Antiquari-+ an Society, born in Boston.

You had paid out money, and were entitled to pro- tect your investment in what- ever way you thought best. Right?” ee He knew that. I..was actually spitting in his eye, but he couldn't do a single thing about it other than to keep smiling, and take it. “Well, that’s a’ very nice way of putting it, sir,” he said. Then, with a glance Paula’s way, he said, “As a matter of fact, Mr. Barnes, that is the reason you find me in such charming com- pany. I mean, I have been try- ing to find you ever since you left in order to explain more fully about Franz’s shock at the news, so that you would not con- tinue to be offended by so dis- graceful an episode.” “I’m never in here until this time any afternoon,” I said. “I’m usually at my office or my apart- ment.” “But, Mr. Barnes,” he got out as his face became the color of an underdone steak; one that had been run over by a tank, “I phoned both your office, and then your apartment, and...” Paula’s heel dug into my shin as she spoke. “And then he: called me, Gerry,” she said. “Lord knows I didn’t know where you were. It’s been a long time since you left to make a visit yesterday noon, you know! So I told Mr. Parrish you usually dropped in here around five. And he was nice enough to invite’ me to join him and wait.” “Well, all’s well with the world,” I said in my brightest voice. “Very much all well, for mmiee? Parrish almost slid off his chair, he leaned forward so quickly. “You mean, Mr. Barnes... ? You mean you've found the mur- derer?” “Which murder?” I asked. “Why ... why, both!” he man- aged. “You know who killed René DeFoe, and also Maurice Cardeu.?” I continued to give him the blank face. Then I shook my head slowly. “No, I don’t,” I said. “That’s for the police. Right now I’m Key West In Days Gone By AS TAKEN FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN OF JANUARY 19, 1939 | TTT IT quite content to know why. The motive, to be technical.” F MY remark stattled Parrish! any he was clever enough te cover up so I couldn't tell, As matter of fact, though, I only watch him for a couple | split seconds. Paula shot out a hand; gripped mine, and I was forced to give her my attention. Her eyes were big and wide. “You know why René DeFoe, and this Maurice Cardeur, were murdered, Gerry?” she exclaimed. “Tell me.” I frowned and shook my head. “The things you ask in public,” I countered. Then with a gesture, I asked, “What do you think I've been doing in the last thirty hours or so?” That was a mistake, and I knew it the instant it was off my tongue. Paula stiffened, and her eyes became very dangerous. “That is what I would like to know most of all,” she snapped. “Tl bet it wasn’t all work, and no play!” That would get us nowhere, except'in each other's hair, se simply looked hurt and turned to Parrish. “Incidentally, I'm glad you did find me,” I said. “Truth of the matter is I called your place a couple of times, but there was no answer. There's a couple of things I want to ask you.” He twisted his ugly face inte a smile, but his eyes were as sharp as a pistol shot. only hope I can answet them, Mr. Barnes,” he said. ' I held off while Nick set down their refills. “Counting out DeFoe,” I finally said, “who would you say was mad enough at Cardeur to want to kill him?” The first pect of his answer was a dry chuckle, and a little help- less shake of his head. “I told you before, in this very place,” he said with a wave at the lounge, “that we of the Un- derground had hundreds of ene- mies.
