CHAPTER XXVII Mr-. Sardoni* apartment house wns built of brick. It stood on a senn-business street on a <-orner lot, a situation which gave it an airy, sunny advantage. T t was small, containing only four apartments, and had garages at the rear. Bright red geraniums rioted all over the ■•mall front lawn during the summer. At this time of year, there was only a green glimmer, as it were, to the yard. We ascended two flat, stone steps to the outer door, entered that and were facing the vestibule door, which was flanked by four mail boxes and four speaking tubes. As the Inspector rang the bell of Mrs. Sardoni’s apartment, I tried ihe inner door. It was unlocked, as usual. The Inspector gave his name and hung up the receiver. “She says to come in.” Mrs. Sardoni was surprised to see me She regarded me questioningly. “This is Miss Julie Martin, Mrs. Sardoni. I believe you have seen her before.” “Yes,” she answered, looking straight at me. but not 100 cordially, "she was here with Miss Sinclair the afternoon she died." Right. Miss Martin is a stenographer of no mean ability, and she has proved most discreet. So I employ her when I want, an accurate record of this or that.” “Rather young to be so was her dry comment as she motioned us into her living room and offered us chairs. I merely smiled and looked as dumb as possible, which Dicky says is pretty dumb. The Inspector talked of this and that in regard to the case while I took things in. keeping my eyes and earn open and my lips closed, per orders. Mrs. Sardoni was as talkative as usual, exceedingly animated, and friendly with the Inspector almost to the point of familiarity. I didn’t like the woman and I didn't like the house. It seemed too characterless. She seemed to have added nothing to the regulation apartment house furniture. There were a dusty blue Chesterfield and chair of velours, an occasional chair in rust velvet, a walnut, veneer table with a hideous < hinese vase on a blue velveteen scarf, and a small desk, almost clear except for a few letters, a box of stationery and a receipt book in its pigeon-holes. There were no books, no papers, no photographs, not a ingle thing in even minor disorder Through the archway, I could see a dining table and four chairs in equal precision. I had the feeling that these rooms were not lived m, they were so shorn of identity. I would have loved to have had n glimpse of her bedroom. I'll het there was evidence of plenty o f dis order there, for she was not a worn an who looked tidy and neat.

| She and the Inspector were still 5 . chatting of various subjects, giving t me a little more time to look around. I had missed a small radio, standing on an end table near the Chester- ’ field. This was insignificant look- ; ing, just a long box with a small t speaker and three dials. » I wondered how the place was . heated. In front of the window was , a low radiator, not sufficient to give t much h°at. but then we don't need j much o California, or think we don’t. I also noted a pipe running .1 up the wall over in the corner. As r my eyes followed it to the ceiling, . 1 saw the fitst interesting object in the room. This I hastily glanced f away from, bnt I remembered it for I the Inspector later. 5 He was speaking to me, “Miss JuJ lie, I am going to ask Mrs. Sardoni for some more information, and I’d like you to take it down.” “Yes, sir.” 1 “Inspector,” she laughed, “you . make me nervous, writing down . every word I say. Oughtn't you to i warn me that everything 1 utter can be used against me?" • He laughed, too. “I guess there , won’t be anything incriminating in • these questions. We are checking up on Miss Sinclair's callers. You ■ have been so helpful in so many > cases, I thought you might be able • to shed some light on one more.” ■ “Anything I can do-—” “Thank you. Now you went to bed early on that unfortunate night. ■ You did not see anyone enter or I leave after eight-thirty.” I "That is correct.” , “But as you probably know from reading the papers, there was another caller from outside who entered by this front door, and a visitor in the person of Hym who came up the back stairs.” "Yes.” i “The outside caller was Mr. Perkins of the high school We are curious to know more of his interest in Miss Sinclair. Have you seen him call many times?” “Why," she deliberated, “no, not 1 many. Four or five times perhaps.” 1 "I see. You could not think of more frequent visits if you were to reconsider?” I thought she seemed angry. She ! made an impatient gesture and her mouth became sullen. “He may have come more often. I am not interested in who comes ! and goes, Inspector, except to see that they are guests and on legiti- ' mate business.” “Still* the principal of a high 1 school in a town this size is a rather important person, and his calling on one of his teachers a circumstance almost any woman would note." “I have no great curiosity or ten- i dency to gossip.” No iofprpgt in even a man whom • you must hnve heard us at least, if I not known, since you both come from Toledo?”

1 1 “I had heard of him. yes. He was * the mathematics teacher in the high . school my son attended As a mat- • ter of fact. I had met him once or twice. But we were not in the same ■ social group.as you must know, In--1 spector, and I did not seek to revive our acquaintance here, although we spoke to one another, and even had a brief chat occasionally.” The Inspector bowed to her as if acknowledging something more than she had put in word?. “Then it is possible that his calls were more frequent than you at first remembered?' “It is possible." “Can you be sure of what hour he usually left?” She seemed to think, but she did not take her eyes from the Inspector. She put up no pretense of friendliness or familiarity now. She was conscious that his questions were aimed at more than their surface pointedness. She was frankly puzzling out what the deeper goal was, was trying to outwit him. “He oft early as a rule, around nine-thirty, whenever I observed him. that is.” “Which was not every time, of course.” “No.” “You are sure he left early?" She looked him directly in the eyes. “Quite sure.” He rose abruptly. “Thank you, Mrs. Sardoni. We will not trouble you longer today. We may wish to talk to you again later. 'You will be available?” I really should not put a question mark there, for the Inspector's voice made that a command, not a question. “Certainly." We were at the door, Mrs. Sardoni just behind us. O'Brien turned suddenly, spoke swiftly. “Why did you come to California, Mrs. Sardoni?” She showed no surprise and she answered just as quickly, "I hare an aunt living in San Francisco. I was able to secure this apartment house to manage; it is not far from her and I can support myself and son by it.” "You wished to leave Ohio?" “I did- My husband aqd I were divorced four years ago. He was not a pleasant person. 1 desired to come away from him as far as possible and to begin my life over again." Sorry to nave questioned your x» rlva « e Hood afternoon, Mrs. Sardoni." We left.
