SYNOPSIS , As Dick Bannister, young explorer, emerges from the exclusive Park Avenue residence hotel of his brother, Hod, the body of a man comes hurtling through the air, followed by a enow leopard robe The man, obviously a servant, had fallen about twenty stories. Shortly after, Dick notices « beautiful girl, standing in the dooway, order her chow to bring ths robe to her. Dick s airedale. "Bully," fights with the chow for possession of it. When the girl finally retrieves it—ln pieces—she hastily runs hsr fingers over it and exclaims: "Ths Hasp and girdle—gone I" Never had Dick been so attracted by any girl. She Is Karen Sire, daughter of the multimillionaire. Maurice Sire. The police summon Dick to the Sirs apartment as a witness. Detective Captain Boyle claims the dead man, a Filipino, was murdered—stabbed in the back. Karen was the only other person in the room when he fell. Maurice Sire telephones that he is flying up from Washington, D. C. Leaving Detective “One-Armed Toole (who really has two perfectly good arms) on duty, Boyle goes out When the detective isn't looking, Dick calls Karen’s attention to blood in the aquarium. Without a sign of emotion, she invites Toole to have a drink in the next room. While the officer is gone, Dick plunges his arm into the aquarium and draws forth a stiletto, which he thrusts into his pocket. Shortly after, Boyle returns with a policewoman and orders Karen searched. The girl slips over to Dick. He feels a tug at his pocket—the stiletto is gone! With the certainty of being searched within the next few minutes, Karen had deliberately relieved him of the weapon. As Karen goes into the next room, she plucks Toole's derby from its perch, "Yours, isn’t it?" she asks, handing it to him.

CHAPTER IV Boyle sat down and blotted the dew from his forehead with a handkerchief. “The servants have bomb proof alibis,” he said. “They’re a new lot, just taken on by Meyers, Sire’s butler, who came up from Southampton to get this place running. He had ’em all in a bunch on the floor below, instructing them in their duties when he missed the little Filipino. The butler was at the bottom of the stairs yelling for the boy when Miss Sire came running down with a chow. She told him jhat a servant had just fallen out of the window and then she made for the elevator.” Captain Boyle did not seem to mind expressing himself thus freely in Bannister’s presence. The latter was soon to learn why. > “Y’see,” the detective continued, “I’ve been checking this matter up j—-you’re out of it, all right. I found that you came to town last night to see your brother. The two of you were together all evening and he left for his office in the morning about ten minutes before you went out for a walk with the airedale.” “Thanks," replied Bannister dryly. He was gripping himself hard. What would happen when the policewoman emerged from that room with the murder dagger in her hand —emerge to tell Boyle that she had found it on the person of Karen Sire ? Presently the door opened and the policewoman stepped out. “Not a thing on her,” she said, directing her report to Boyle. Observing the s'ight drop in his jaw, she added: “1 had an eye on her all the time since I came in.” • Boyle’s chin dropped lower. “Every inch of her trail from that room down to the courtyard has been covered and searched,” he said slowly. While he was speaking Karen Sire herself came serenely out of the room, putting a last deft touch upon the arrangement of her hair. Bannister felt a wrench at his sensibilities, a stab of pain. It was unbearable to see her practicing the dubious arts *hat heretofore he had associated only with women of mature experience in duplicity. How had she managed to conceal that dirk with four pairs of eyes upon her? What need had Karen Sire to play this desperate game; above all, to toy with the bloody tools of crime? And for what? To kill a poor Filipino serving man whom she might have caught stealing a piece of fur, a jeweled clasp and girdle I Boyle mumbled something that

call was answered by "Why 1 Like 4-H Club Work." Games were played and songs were sung.

sounded like an apology. “The elevator made only one trip to the twentieth floor before nine o clock this morning,” he continued. That was to bring up a few trunks and five servants — the Southampton butler and the four new ones. Ine Filipino was sent up here to straighten things out.

You declined the manager’s offer to have one or more of the woman servants in the h/use remain with you. Besides tfiat, he made a personal inspection of this apartment while you were dancing, found everything all right and locked the door, later delivering the keys to you,” Miss Sire murmured acquiescence, but said nothing. Boyle was treed. That was plain

Toole took a step toward her—she swayed and Bannister caught her.

to Bannister, who even detected a veiled look of satisfaction on Toole’s stolid face, a look that he could account for only on the score of personal antagonism. Boyle had taken up a position near the open window, squirting up, down and around with futile intensity. The walls of the great court were of enameled brick and the window casements were too narrow to afford footing for an intruder. “There were half a dozen persons on the roof at the time of the murder,” he said finally. “It’s a kind of open air gym. No one could have reached this room with a rope from the roof without being seen.” “Isn’t there a wide coping along the front windows?” Bannister asked. “Right,” answered the detective. “How did you know?” A little hook of suspicion dangled from the question. “Oh, the fronts of all these apartment buildings are always more ornate than the court faces, aren’t they?” Boyle subsided. “All the front windows were locked from the inside; I opened ’em myself and looked around.” “That seemed to narrow it down to me,” put in Miss Sire. The detective’s lips tightened. “Everybody in this apartment at the time of the murder will be under suspicion until we clear this matter up,” he said. “My original order that you stay here until your father comes still holds. This officer (indicating Toole) will remain here with you. Mr. Bannister is free to go when he likes. I’ll be back by the time Mr. Sire arrives.” He arose, beckoned the policewoman, and the two stepped into the elevator. ■> Toole, who had been standing near the panel, listened until the faint hum of the descending car ceased. Turning around slowly, and

without any attempt at stage ■ effect he drew the murder dirk Horn a outside pocket in his coat. “Well; well,” hs chortled, M>u two did this thing P, rt ‘* y ß nr°? s a W no grits in your work a tall! 1 saw yo* Bannister, when you s "‘‘P te ‘’ this thine out of the tish tank, saw the little lady lift it from your jeans, and I felt its weight when she dropped it into my pocket.

Strangers, at th He laughed again—a rich, full Bannister did not know what was going on in the man s mind, but he felt certain that it all would end in Karen Sire's arrest and his own. Had he been in the detective s place he could not have acted otherwise. This hilarious prelude probably was

merely the expression of Toole’s satisfaction in his own cleverness That the girl took the same view was evident from her deepening pallor. Toole’s face had sobered without hardening. He took a step toward her—she swayed and Bannister caught her falling. Karen Sire had not lost consciousness; indeed, it seemed to Bannister that she drooped in his arms only for an instant. The girl was standing erect now, looking disconcertedly at “One-Armed” Toole. It seemed incredible that this hardboiled detective could have read so accurately the motives actuating Bannister and herself in the futile play with the murder weapon. He had looked incapable of sentiment; he had acted up to that moment without the smallest show of feeling, yet now his whole bearing manifested sympathy, understanding and fellowship. Bannister reopened the colloquy. “Why didn’t you let Captain Boyle: know this?” he demanded. “If I had,” Toole answered, “he’d have put the basket over both of you.” This did not sound very good to Bannister. It looked like disloyalty to a superior; if not that, a deliberately planned pose to enmesh the girl and himself deeper. “You’ve known Miss Sire only an hour yourself,” the detective continued placidly, “and yet you were so sure of her innocence that you took a chance on compounding a felony—a murder. Can’t you give me credit for having the same hunch?” “Captain Boyle will have to know ultimately,” Bannister insisted. “We have been trapped in what appears to be a direct connection with the killing of this boy.” Toole merely grinned. , (To Be Continued) CewrtsM.
