IWHOSE WIFE? murder K myster> L r-i aDYSSHAW ERSKINE AMD IVAN

SYNOPSIS Lawrence Vane, noted portrait painter, is held as a material witness in connection with the murder of his bride of three months following the discovery of a headless nude body upon the terrace of his penthouse apartment. Three weeks before that happened, two of his friends—Wilbur Renton and Roger Thornley—were discussing their love affairs and Vane’s recent marriage to Isobel Mackenrie who was well known to both. Renton's interest in Isobel had caused a break between him and Betty Potter, a pretty young newspaperwoman. who lives in the apartment beneath the Lawrence Vanes’. Thornley says that he and his wife, Millie, a former show-girl, are leaving for Seattle soon. Renton calls on Betty to plead his cause anew, now that Isobel had married. She tells him that they cannot marry and reluctantly admits that she had been in love with Vane. Renton bitterly denounces Isobel, exclaiming that he’d like to choice her to death. Betty is horrified by his words.... Early the next morning, Wilbur Renton denies that he had anything to do about notifying the police concerning the Vane murder, and is worried privately because he had called on Betty Potter so close to the scent of that homicide. Inspector Ingles persuades Betty to consult her uncle, Cyrus K. Mantel, famous detective. She does so, and Uncle Cyrus reluctantly accepts the case. He and Inspector Ingles call on Vane in his Tombs cell. The prisoner tells his own story of what happened the night. before, strongly maintaining his innocence. After examining the corpus delicti at the morgue, “Uncle Cyrus” leaves his police inspector friend and calls on the sophisticated proprietress of Kate Doyle’s Club. Wilbur Renton . . . puzzled because the police claim he, or someone impersonating him, phoned them the tip which led to the murder discovery ... he is again calling at Betty Potter’s apartment. CHAPTER XI Suky answered him for the second time that morning. “Jus' a minute. Mr. Renton, suh.” Was it imagination, or did Suky’s voice hold a different note than the usual deferential one with which she greeted him? “Hello? is it?” came in the crisp notes of Betty's best business voice. “Betty! This is Wilbur! I’ve got to see you, right away. Can I come over to your place now?” She hesitated. “I don’t know that that would be wise, »Wilbur, under the circumstances.” “What do you mean?” “Well ...” her voice lagged, “you were here last night . . . and just now when—” suddenly she became more natural. “Oh! Wilbur, isn’t it awful? I can hardly believe it.” “Don't talk any more on the phone,” he warned, “I’ll be right over. I think it is best, Betty—for both our sakes.” “All right. Hurry though. I have to have a bite of lunch and rush right out again.” “With you in a jiffy!” he promised, and hung up. As he went up in the elevator in Betty’s apartment house, with the suddenly important Robert E. Jackson, he was conscious of that strange pall, almost a palpable scent to the nostrils, that permeates a house of death. “Suah am turrible, ain’t it, suh?” volunteered Lee, rolling his eyes at Renton. “Yes,” Renton started to answer, then caught himself. “What are you talking about, boy?” he snapped. “ ’Bout de murder las’ night,” Lee said blandly. “You all knows erbout it, Mr. Renton, suh?” Renton felt his skin pale. “What do you mean?” he snarled. “Why should I know abcut the murder —” he caught himself, “any murder.” he amended.

“Why, suh,” Robert E. Lee looked at him in wide-eyed innocence, “you all was in de house when it happened. Don’t you remember, suh? You all must have walked down de stairs when I was busy with de police officers,” Lee was very important now, “and me and one of de cops done seed you go out de front door after coming down from Miss Betty’s apartment." He brought the elevator to a perfect stop. "Heah ye are, Mr. Kenloiu, suh. Betty’s floor, suhl” ho announced unctuously. “Damn that dinge!" rmririr-rd Renton to himself as he rang B'-rt.j ’» bell. He found himself glad of o'4 Suky’s welcoming black t-nJK' somehow it reassured him. Just •» he entered the living-room *■» glanced back at her and a qv.wr. shock went through him at *h« change that had come over her

fer now the ebony features were malevolent, and she had her hand raised in a strangely odd gesture that in some way seemed to bear a hidden menace. Quickly, he entered the other room and greeted Betty with a feeling of relief which he knew to be exaggerated, but which he could not control. “Betty,” he exclaimed, “my dear, you look tired, and pale. I know now dreadful this must be for you . . . and to think that your paper should send you out to cover this ‘case.’ It's too horrible, Betty—you can’t stand it. Why don’t you chuck the whole thing? You can’t do it.

Betty—you can’t.” Betty turned to him, stesdy-eyed, firm-lipped, calm-voiced. “Why not, Wilbur?” she asked mildly, “after all I am a newspaper woman . . . and," her sweet lips curled, “the story’s the thing you know. Never mind whose heart may break — get the story." “But Betty,” he protested, “you can’t be mixed up in this—you can’t.” “And why not?” she countered, still in that strangely gentle manner. "Because of Lawrence Vane, Betty,” he saw her wince, “and because of you . . . and,” his voice dropped, “because ... of me.” “I’m afraid you’re too late, Wilbur,” she said. “I am mixed up in it—in more ways than you know.” She saw him start and pale. “I’m in it professionally,” she continued, “I’m in it because of you, and because of me, and because of —Lawrence Vane.” “What do you mean, Betty?” “I got my uncle, Cyrus K. Mantel, to take on the case the first thing this morning,” she told him steadily. Wilbur Renton’s eyes widened to a stare. “Betty! Betty! he gasped, “you don't know what you've done.” " Her slim figure straightened, and her firm little chin went up in the air.

“I always know what I’m doing,” rhe asserted, “and so does Uncle Cyrus. He'll find out all about this Terrible thing, and then Lawrence Vane will be free.” Her voice rose to a cry. “And I don’t care who suffers. so long as he is safe.” “Betty, wait!” Renton started forward. A knock came at the door. “Miss Betty,” came Suky’s soft voice, “yeahs a postal cyard foh you, Honey.” Both welcomed the interruption. Betty took the card and read it “It’s from Millie and Roger Thornley,” she cried. “Millie wrote it I’ve always envied her ohat round, clear writing of hers—mine Is sucn a scrawl. Look at what she says, ‘Roger and I having a grand trip, enjoying every minute of it. R->gar calls it a second honey-moon. Harry up and take your first on the . aan» route—it's beautiful. GreetI (S4F> ta Renton, love to you. ‘ “ ‘Millie and Roger.’"

fared as payment for gasoline when the girl drew a revolver. A young man accompanied her ititothe stu-

She turned glowing eyea to his. “Isn't that lovely? They seem M happy together. Perhaps this trip away from the crowd wilt truly bring them together again." As Cyrus K. Mantel eat down across the small white table from Kate Doyle, in her night club, the contrast between the two was so marked as to be fantastic. Cyrus K., small, alert, immaculate, point de vi*e from his polished shoes to the pince-nez on his aristocratic nose. Curly red hair, splashed with white, from which he had just removed a soft, grey fedora; twinkling, jet-black eyes, under bushy

brows; a wide humorous mouth, with deep lines at either side; wellgroomed hands that would attract the attention of the most cr .al observer, because of their fle-' of ity as well as their character and unexpected strength. Kate Doyle, large, raw-boned, her flagrantly blondined hair crowning a rugged, life-worn face; steel blue eyes that hated to show their heart softness and sympathy; a raucous voice, a ready laugh, large workworn, well manicured hands that could guide a horse or a human destiny with equal assurance and firm surety; a bluff manner that covered a warm human soul.

"Kate,” Cyrus K. repeated, “what do you know about Isobel Vane?” Kate deliberately lighted a fresh cigarette before she answered. "Isobel Vane?” she repeated. “Are you going on that case, Cyrus K.?” “I am on 'that case’ now, Kate,” he told her directly. "What do you know about it?” “Hey! Hey!” she cried in mock terror. “First yon want to know what I know about Isobel Vane and then, what I know about the murder case. Which do you mean, Cyrus K.?” “Don’t try to fence with me, Kate,” Mantel told her gently. “Whv do you refer to the ‘murder case’? Eh?” Kate Doyle’s blue eyes laughed at him in the frank appreciation of one who is used to mulcting the “sucker.”

“You’re awfully quick, Cyrus K.," she assured him. “I know plenty about Isobel Vane.” “And about the murder case?" prompted Mantel. “Well . . . ’’she hesitated, “well ... I hardly know whether I know anything ... or not.” “Let's find out,” Mantel said briskly. “Okay, Big Buy, let’s go!” “First of all, Kate, can you tell me who came in here to your club with Isobei?” “Whoa, Big Boy, that’s a big order. I’m not too good on arithmetic, and believe me, you had to be able to count, add, end subtract, to keep track of Isobel.” (To Be Continued) Cwnl*M. 1»U.
