"The Cold Finger Curse" * by EDWIN DIAL TOR»GEPwSON

CHARTER XXI “All right, all right,” said the Inspector. “We all have our little ! failings. Let’s get together and find i the bottom of this n-.es*. We won’t need you any further just now, Merriam, but just to complete the record I’ll have to have those letters of Mrs. Elderbank’s. I’ll send a man around te your bank with you to get them.” “Certainly, sir. I have no reason to withhold them. I would never have mentioned them, if this—” He paused with a contemptuous glance at-ElderbanY McEniry pressed a button. “I’m going to hang on to you for a while, Merriam,” he said. “If you're telling ii* ft straight story you’ll come out all right. We’ll have a talk with Puane or Thurber next, if you like, Mr. Elderbank.” The old man rose unsteadily. “I don't want to hear any more,” he said wearily. “I’m going to the hotel.” When he had given instructions regarding Merriam’s visit to the hank. Inspector McEniry ordered Roger Duane brought in for questioning. He paced the floor as they waited. Captain Montigny sat serenely in his chair, smoking a very black cigar. * “What do you make of it, so far, Captain?” demanded the Inspector. - ‘Make’ of it? Nothing whatever, wept a maze with many pitfalls. I know very little about it, of course. I should like to visit the seene of the crime, to spend a great d-al of time there.” “We’ll do that, you bet What is your impression of this chap Merriam?” Montigny shrugged. “Unfavorable. I do not like him. A man of hi* iype has no ronscience. But that is merely my feeling. Inspector.” When Roger Duane was brought in he seemed very cheerful. There *«' a mild audacity in his manner. “Well, Inspector,” he observed, "it seems T don't dance to-night at Burney O'Brien's. Great loss to art, punch on the button for Terpsichore. But to-morrow night, or the next night, or whenever you do let me go—man alive, what a house I’ll draw! But I don’t understand. Inspector, why you haven’t told the newspapers abeut me yet.” Inspector McEniry thrust his ehin into Roger's face and shouted with disconcerting vehemence: “Who helped you kill that woman?” Roger backed away, wide-eyed, and said naively: “Wrong number. Inspector, really. Honestly I didn't. I tell you like a brother. I was too busy. What with finishing my make-up, getting set in that chimJ ncy, listening for the right cue from those drummers, lighting the fuse for the fireworks—l tell you, Inspector, I couldn’t have done it—not and gone on with that dance. It is a dance. Inspector, that requires every atom of self-control, physical and psychical energy, nervous force, vim. vigor, verve —” “Not so darned many words,” | commanded the Inspector angrily, j “You black up with grease paint or j something, don’t you, every time you do this dance?” “Oh, no, Inspector, not grease paint—that would be too hard to get off, take too much cold cream. Rad enough as it is—imagine having to take two baths every day! Burnt cork, Inspector, that's what I I use. It comes right off. with soap | and water. I use the dry, powdered ! kind, not the paste.” I “When you killed this woman,” ; said McEniry savagely, “you stepi ped too close to the bed. You smeared your burnt cork on the bedclcching. Did you know that, son? Did you know we had you? Did you know you were going to the hot seat for murder?” “The hot what, sir, for murder?” “Never mind. And cut your darned impudence. I’ll push in your face if you smirk at me again.” “Then I shall be very sober and unsmirking. Inspector. But I cannot tell a lie. I did not kill Mrs. Elderbank.” “That isn’t what your pals we picked up at Barney O'Brien’s say.” “ ‘Pals,’ Inspector?” “Nevermind. We’ve got you. son. Tbcy've confessed. Peached «m the whole racket. We've cornered the I fence, too. We’ll have back the ‘ice’ to-night, and you and your

friends win be sitting pretty in your condemned cells soon.” a “Ice? Racket? Fence? Peaches? Really, Inspector!” . “I myself,” confessed Captain Montigny of Montreal, "am at a loss—■ “I said,” declared McEniry sourly, “that we know where the jewels are, where they disposed of them, and we’ll have them back to-night. And we have arrested this man’s cronies among the thieves and gunmen who hang around Barney O’Brien’s night club, and they have confessed.” “Oh,” said the enlightened Montignv, his eyes twinkling. “And to think,” murmured Roger

“Never mir.<l. And cut your impudence. I’ll push in your face if you smirk at me again.”

Duane, “that- I didn’t know a thing about it. Why, the case is all settled. i.-n’t it?" McEniry advanced on him threateningly. “Want a slap in the mug, do you? Don’t give people a chance to be decent to you, dr, you?” “I’m sorry,” said Roger contritely. “I should have known. I have been told it is customary to confess everything to the police, so you won’t got beaten up, and then deny it later in court. I confess everything, inspector. It was really, however, the first murder I ever Committed. I claim fnexpe-riencc, sir—ignorance of the law—” “Get out of here!” snarled McEniry, pushing him toward the door and opening it. “You can rot in jail, vou fresh scoundrel, for all I care!” ' When Roger had been taken away the Inspector glowered at Captain Montigny, whose presence alone, had Roger but known it, had saved Roger from violence, "Can you boat it?” the Inspector. “You try to be nice to these crook-—and What do you get?" “Impudence,” suggested Montigny. “There is much of it in New York. But this young person dispenses it very cleverly. He seems to know just how far he can go with it. There is much guile beneath his clownish innocence.” “You guessed him right,” growled McEniry. “He’s as had an egg as any of them. I wouldn't lose any money betting he wasn’t in on this deal.” “But the smear on the bedclothing, Inspector, seems to be all you have against him?” “And that's a pretty good deal, it seems to me. He has no alibi—he had the chance to do it. And the night club gorillas he knew at Barney O’Brien’s. Well—you can quiz him later if you want to, Captain. What do you say we call in Thurijcr next?”

“Oh, yes. He of the telephone call and finger-prints.” , McEniry sent for Glenn Thurber. The newspaper man was brisk and nervous as ever. He sized up Captain Montigny and the Inspector as though he had sought them out for an interview. “Any new line, Inspector?” he inquired professionally. “Any lead? Have you made any arrests? Or are they all just expected momentarily?” “You,” said McEniry dniy, “make a pretty good suspect, if you ask me.” “So Sergeant Darden told me. Says he found a pencil of mine on the roof, which is proof conclusive

that I killed Mrs. Elderbank for hei jewels, so I could buy more pencils What could be clearer? Got l match. Inspector?” McEniry gave him a match, grinning wryly. “Say, it's tough to han to do this to you. What mad* pot go on the take, anyhow? I like you Thurber.” “And I like you, Inspector. Yoti’rv a fine old bonehead. Solid ivory, oi you’d never be fool enough to arres a newspaper man.” “Listen,” said McEniry witl i friendly gruffness. "Don't make m,; ' wallop you before a visiting tive. This is Captain Montigny of Montreal.” 1 “Don’t I know him,” exclaimovk Thurber. “The man who solved Milburn murder and the Alcoclf poisoning case. • Say, you and I will work together fine on Uiia story, • Captain.” t “Listen, Thurber,” repeated th« Inspector. “Maybe you didn’t bump off this dame and steal her ton of ice, but I can’t help having the evi- , den™, see? You shouldn’t have fooled around her bedroom the way you did, and left your finger-prints. You shouldn’t have put in that telephone call from your own apartment, and lpft the record at the exchange in black and white. Come clean, Thurber, who helped you do this job?” i “I didn’t call up Mrs. Elderbank and 1 never saw the inside of her bedroom, Inspector,” said Thurber calmly. “Either your experts are liars or the law of coincidence and a lot of scheming crooks have passed the buck to me. I didn’t kill this woman, but I can see the evidence is enough to burn me—even though you never find the jewels—if you wani to frame me. I’ve always given you the breaks, haven’t I?” (To Be Continued) OIPTTtjM, 113 4. by Zijwln J). Torc-rsw Buinwraa *t I'm r«t»ru *r.<n-.u. im.
