T WAS a still, balmy night in late October. Poltceman Murphy stopped for @ moment, as was his custom, the corner of Lawrence Avenue an Sheridan Road. He knew that it wa about two o'clock in the morning as that was the hour at which he usually reached this point. He glanced shurp- ty up and down Sheridan Road, which | Seen anybody else show at that moment seemed to be com- pletely deserted save for a belated] Lawrence Avenue taxt. Just then Policeman Murphy heard @ shot! Instantly his body quickened with an awakened alertness, and he glanced @ast and west along the lonely stretch of Lawrence Avenue. He saw noth- ing, and concluded that the sound must have come from one of the many apartment bulldings which surrounded | the Hillcrest apartments on Sheri. him. The posttion of the shot was hard] Just north of Lawrence Avenue, 1 to locat chance, and en Sheridan Road.

Murphy started, then glanced around “Hell!"’ he exclaimed. ‘Where's that guy gone tg, anywa Marsh, who had recently been close at their heels, was not now tn the group. Murphy moved on tiptoe to the door of the lving room. Marsh was just in the act of pull- ing a heavy, upholstered chair back into position. ‘What's the blg tdea?"’ : asked the plain-clothes man, suspl- ; ciously, as he came in with irphy, “Well, detectives in novels always search minutely for things which may not be apparent to the eye. I thought the application of a little of the story book stuff might do no harm.” “Huh!” snorted the plain clothes man. ‘You're more than commonly interested in this affair, ain't you?” Naturally,” agread Marsh. “Re- member, I live just below, and wouldn't like to be murdered in my hed some night. To hear a murde over your head {s a bit disconcerting. “How the devil do we know there's been a murder?" shot back the plain- clothes man. ‘We've only got your word for it."” “But this shot,” and \ phy. ‘*He was when I met him Yes," Murphy admitted officer also heard the rsh turned toward Mur. looking for the trouble “1 heard the shot, but T only got your word HE lt in| for it that it was here.

I have discovered visible proof that there was a murder!” Marsh walked over to where the policemen stood. “Take a look around," he began. “There are certain accepted ways of placing tha furniture in a room. When there ts a radical departure from such placing, an inquiring mind is led to wonder. Notice the chair I was just moving.

Marsh moved over to the chatr and pulled it to one side. “I moved it away like this,” he said, “now, look at the floor!"’ On the light background of the rug was a large, dark spot which the chalr had covéred. The plainciothes man stooped and placed his hand on the epot. It felt damp to the touch, and as he stood erect again, holding his hand under the light, they all saw that the fingers were covered with a thin film of red. *Blood!" cried Murphy. “Yep,"' affirmed the plainclothes man. ‘Fresh blood.’’ Excited exclamations from the others showed thelr appreciation ef the discovery. Marsh smiled. that looks like a possible he paid. chair was placed there te cover the spot, all right,” now ade mitted the plainclothes man. “But what became of the body? again questicned Murphy. “As I said before,” Marsh answered him, “that is for you to find out.
