CHAPTER XX “I thought the matter over for several days. 1 am not perhaps comnletely modern. I do not share tiie theory Mr. Carrington had expressed to me that husbands and wives have a right to close friendship with other men and women. In faet, I do not have much faith in Platonic friendship of any description.” Her manner was quite superb. I was really awed by her. She was certainly arrogant but she was also decisive, firm, deliberate. I felt that the coldness and precisian of her words and voice covered a lot of emotion. I could almost pity George in their row no matter how wrong he was, for she would be so quick, so sarcastic, so clever when she was angry, while he would become vio- . lent and confused. She was continuing anti I had to make my fingers hump to catch up with her. “I canie to the conclusion that this friendship was a revival of their old romance, and how serious it was I could determine only by ■ seeing and talking with the woman; i so I came to St. Joseph to see Miss J Sinclair.” “What impression did you tlicn ■ gain?” “I found a pretty, attractive giri ' who I thought would be reasonable ! and fair.” “Did she prove otherwise?” “When I introduced myself, I came directly to the point. T toid 1 her that I had not come on a friendly visit but to find out what kind of a person she was, and to demand that she take some immediate action in regard to the situation she had ! created between me aud my hus- | band.” "What was her reaction to this demand?" “Quite unexpected. She became | wtry angry and refused to ‘sacrifice her friendship with George,’ as she put it” Well, personally, I can understand that. If Mrs. Carrington was as overbearing and haughty when she talked to Connie as she was while she was telling about their meeting, she would make anybody contrary and mad. Connie said as much in the letter she was writing to George. "This naturally influenced your action in the immediate future." commented the Inspector. “So what I did you decide to do?” “I decided to obtain a divorce.” “On tbe basis of Ml. s Sinclair’s attitude?” “On the basis of that and of my husband’s statement to me during <mr discussion." ; “Which was?” Perhaps Mrs. Cari iuglui) thought i she had talked too ntieh. As everyI oue ia the room leaned eagerly toward her to hear the reply, she besi- ! fated. Then she said very clearly and very loudly. “Mr. Carrington told me that he was in love with Connie Sinclair and that he wished to marry her so soon as I would get i a divorce!” » • • The remark of Mrs. Carrington's ■ bout George’s being in love with ; Connie, practically ended the lestiI many that afternoon. There was | only one ether dramatic moment. Just as the prisoners, for that is what they virtually were, were being escorted from the room by Office." Atwater, a sergeant came in. “There is a woman to see you. Inspector.” | “Who.” ' I “Mrs. Sardem " . I "Shew her in.” As she entered, she met Mis. Carrington face tt» face. The Italian woman paused in th" doorway, lifted her arm with pointed finger in almost a theatrical fashion. “There she is!” she exclaimed. "Who is this woman?” demanded Mrs. Carrington.

Uon. Then the Carringtons proceeded on their way. Mrs. Sardoni < regarded the other woman excitedly, scarcely waiting for the door to close before whispering. “That is the woman—that is the one who quarrelled with Miss Sinclair the week before she was murdered. I 1 saw her picture in the paper and I came at once to identify her.” “Very good of you. I intended asking you to come down tomorrow. Now suppose you come into this other office.” As the Inspector led the way, Mrs. Sardoni followed him. talking volubly and dramatically all the time. Officer Atwater came back shortly and told me I could go. but to come back and see O'Brien whenever convenient On the walk home, I cannot say whether I spent more time worrying over Allen or speculating about Mrs. Carrington. My mind was about evenly divided between the 'two. I was eager to build up a case against anyone which would release ray brother from any suspicion, and I certainly had good material to work on ia this woman’s testimony. It was uncanny how much Mrs. Carrington resembled the picture which Helen had drawn in her imagination. The quality that struck me most was her being so deliberate. She was the type all right that would think things out, perhaps on the basis of her emotion, but who would plan exactly what she was going to do, then act. She had been tremendously angry with George, she admitted; that she must have been equally hurt and shocked by his interest in Connie, must have also been true. Yet she had not taken all be said at its face value before coming to see Connie, to get her angle on the case. If she had been so deliberate in the mixture of emotions she felt at first, why would she not be equally so afterward? At the end of her stormy interview with Connie, she had felt positive that the girl was the cause of breaking up her home, that ail George's statements which she thought might be attributed to anger were undoubtedly true. She left Connie in a great rage, and I’d venture to say, in great humiliation. ; Would her type not determine suddenly upou what she would do, plan the details, and carry them out boldly? In other words, granted that at first she decided on a di- ' vorce, she had returned to George’s home until Sunday, we knew from his testimony earlier. Apparently ' she had told him nothing of her visit to Connie, but waited to see what ' would result, not acting hastily. When, however, he left again on Sunday, would it not be possible . that she was convinced Connie had ; won him, and determined to act? But just as she had waited until Sunday before leaving him, might ' she not have also waited from Sun- , day to Thursday to complete her ! plans? Could these plans have I been the murder of Connie, instead t of mere divorce? Os course, the Inspector had ended the interview rather ab--3 ruptly. It was possible he was j working on some psychological the- . ory c- it he didn’t want me tc , hear more. At any rate, the days r her call on Connie had 6 been ignored But if she had planned . a inunku. as I was now inclined to . believe she might have, she had taken plenty of time to secure a gun and to time her last visit. This all fitted into the information we had then on the murder very well, I thought. For if Mr. Perkins didn’t kill her, and if Hym - didn’t, then the third person had n only fifteen minute: Whoever did ', it, man or woman, had not come to r argue and act on impulse. He or she had come armed, had come with a detailed plan, had simply opened d Connie’s door, seen her sitting at her desk, and had given her only time to look up before firing tbe

shot. Satisfied that the girl was dead, he or she had closed the door, and then gone softly down the stairs. Did it not fit into the deliberateness that characterized Mrs. Carrington? Was it not entirely an easy murder for a woman to commit? But although I half-succeeded in proving to myself that George’s wife was guilty, I had not explained how Allen came to have Connie’s pen. I shuddered to think that perhaps I couldn’t explain it, satisfactorily at least. I didn’t know what my course of action should be. No doubt I should tell Dad and let him do the thing that was right. But Dad had bad so much worry this week. Suppose the explanation was some simple thing that needn't bother him and Mother at all? After all, it was unthinkable that my brother was the actual murderer. The direct way seemed to be to ask him about it. So when I reached home, I answered Mother’s questions, set the table, and went to my room to clean up for dinner. Allen had not yet come home. In the mirror as I powdered my nose. I regarded my own face a long time. This worry was telling on me. I looked old and hon ibly serious. I thought about having a facial if I could eke it out of my next week’s allowance. It seemed an ancient thing to be doing, but worry, no doubt, had prematurely aged me. Down the hall, a door banged. I knew Allen had conic home. It was not a pleasant task, but I decided to confront him. So I walked to his room. Allen did not show much pleasure at seeing me. He opened the door , and said, “What do you want ?” I saw the coat, which concealed ' the pen, lying on the bed; eo I just walked by him to it. As I picked it up. he grabbed at it roughly, ‘ Let that alone!” Although I'm small, I’m pretty strong. 1 jerked it away final him, ran around the other side of tbe bed, taking the pen from the insida pocket as I ran, and then threw the coat at him. He was white and shaking. His eyes were wild. For a second I thought he would attempt to strike me, but instead the tears came, and he stamped his foot like a child. “What do you mean, coming in and ransacking my pockets like this ?’’ he cried. I sat down on the bed, holding the pen tightly in my hand. Now that I was there, I didn’t know what to eay ; to this tall, nervous, crying kid. I felt ages older than he. I spoke quietly, hoping to calm him down. “Allen, yon only hurt yourself by lei Ling your control go this way. You’ll make people auspicious.” “Suspicious!" he shrieked, “suspicious of what!" “Children,” called Mother, “What are you doing?” “Nothing, Mother,” 1 sang back most nonchalantly. “I said something tliat teased Allen. I’m sorry.” “Now do be careful, Julie. Allen doesn’t feel well. Come down in ten minutes.” “Yes, Mother,” was my meek reply. I heard her walk back to the kitchen. “There, you see," I pointed out to my brother, "everyone thinks that you arc ill and upset. Why should you be now? If you go on acting like th’&, people will begin to ask questions." “Well, they’d better net! Anyway, there is nothing for them to . find out.” He had not seen me take the pen. ■ I now held it up. I “No?” i The effect threw tne into a name. ■ Alien's legs gave way under him. i Like a slow motion picture, he sank I to the floor where be sat crumpled, ; mouth moving, wordless.
