"THERES MURDER IN THE AIR" by ROY CHANSLOR.

SYNOPSIS , Ruth Tyler, blind daughter of former District Attorney Daniel Tyler, is psychic. She foretells murders at the exact time they are bein| committed but is powerless to give sufficient information to prevent them. These weird visitations come upon Ruth while she 1 pleys her violin and always at night. Mr. Tyler seeks the aid of Dr. Jan Karask. celebrated psychiatrist, but the latter must go to Baltimore on another case, so he assigns his young assistant. Nat Benson, to the ’-b. suggesting that Tyler give Nat only Ruth’s background and let him find out the details himself. Nat arrives at the old Tyler home on East 79th Street at midnight. He is puzzled when Tyler tries to explain that his daughter is a mental case but is not unbalanced. CHAPTER 111 "I want you to make —certain observations,” Tyler said. ‘‘To do that, you will have to live here in the house with us. . . . And it is important that my daughter does not know why you are here. Is—is that satisfactory to you?” “Yes,” said Nat. "But it may take some arranging.” ‘‘l'll take care of that,” said Tyler. “Let me see: Let us say that you are the son of an old friend. Your father’s name was Nat too, eh ? Let us say that he was a college friend. You are here looking for work—my guest. You will be on intimate terms with the family, of course. It will be perfectly natural for you to stay as long as necessary. Nobody can find a job nowadays.” "That sounds practicable enough,” said Nat. “I will explain briefly—” Tyler began. Then he stopped, turning his head, as if listening. From somewhere in the house there came the sound of music, the music of a vio-; lin. It was faint but indescribably beautiful, haunting. Tyler stood quite stili, as if frozen, staring upward, toward the sound of the music. Then, abruptly, in the middle of a bar, the music ceased. Tyler turned swiftly toward Nat. his face drawn. “Come!” he said. “Come!” Then he strode from the room, Nat close at his heels. His long legs took the stairs, two steps ala time. Nat followed. Down the hall Tyler went, half-running now, Nat keep.ng pace just behind him. Before a door at the extreme end of the hall the man halted, raised his hand as if to knock. Then he brought it down slowly, placed it on the knob and quietly opened the door. It was quite dark inside, and still. Tyler fumbled for the light-switch; there was a click, and the lights came on. In the middle of the floor, facing them, a girl in negligee stood rigidly, a violin at her shoulder. The fingers of her left hand were on the strings; the bow drooped at her side in the other hand. Enormous dark eyes stared out of an alabaster face, a face filled with unutterable terror. "Ruth!” Tyler cried huskily. "R«tA7 What is it?” The great eyes closed; the girl swayed toward Tyler. He tool: h"r in his arms, held her closely. She buried her face against his sleeve. She seemed incredibly small and fmgi!" beside his tall figure. She i trembled in his arms, drew herself ' closer to him. “Ruth,” he repeated, but very i gently how. “What is it. dear?” With one hand he tilted her face I up toward his, »nioothed back the ; long dark hair. She did not open her eyes. Again he repeated: “What is it. dear?” She opened her dark eyes slowly. To Nat, motionless in the doorway, they seemed to rest upon him. But she gave no •ii—r- of noticing his presence. *1 don't know,” she whispered. "It began—as always. And then —i* atnnpe ’! Oh, I don’t know what It is!” Nat stared into her eyes, so large, so fixed. There • as still no sign in them. And then, with a shock, he I realized that she was blind. In the big chair in the livingroom, Nat sat waiting for Tyler. He had been there nearly an hour

now, trying to compose himself, trying not to puzzle too much about the strange actions of the girl with the violin. What had caused the terror in her face? How could she, blind as she was, play the violin so exquisitely? For it had been exquisite, that fragment he had heard before the strange interruption. In the grip of whatever emotion had possessed her. she had apparently not realized his presence there, in the doorway. Tyler, when she did not speak, had picked her up suddenly in his arms and carried her to the bed. And she had smiled up at him, then. “It’s no use—now. Father,” she had said. “But I’m ail right.

night.” 1 “No,” he had said. “I’ll stay here ; with you a bit.” He had glanced up then, at Nat, who had flashed him an inquiring look. Tyler had shaken his h'a.l, slowly, and by a movement of his hand had suggested that Nat wait below. So Nat waited, ao patiently as he could. Presently he heard a sound on the stairs, glanced up and saw Tyler's tall figure descending. The man cams into the room weariiy. He stood in the door, rubbing one side of his face with one of his lean hands. Then he took a chair, facing Nat. “She is sleeping now,” Tyler said. Nat nodded, said nothing. The man stole a curious look at him. “That was what I wanted you to observe,” he said slowly. Then he shook his head. “But it—it was incomplete. What — what did you make of it?” “Nothing,” said Nat frankly. “Except that shte seemed badly f lightened.” “She was frightened,’ said Tyler. "She was terrified.” “What oil” said Nat. “I wish you’d tell me,” said Tyler. “Bat haven’t you any idea —” Tyler shook his head. “1 don't knew,” ho said. “I hoped she would know, so that you could see—ree the thing at work. But something happened. Tn away I was relieved. . . . But it will come again. And I want you to be on hand when it does.” Nat nodded. “Perhaps you’d better explain,” he said. “I—l'll try to tell you something about her,” said Tyler. “She is a remarkable musician, as perhaps you noticed, even though she played only a few bars.” “Yes,” said Nat. “It was—superb.” Tyler nodded and went on : “She’s what they call a prodigy.

has been since she was a child. Odious word, prodigy. But she has shown a remarkable talent for the violin from childhood.” ‘‘l'm surprised that ahe isn’t a very famous violinist," said NaL “She has never played publicly," said Tyler. “She's too delicate for that sort of thing. She's led a very quiet, sheltered life. Her mother died when she was born. She haa always been blind. When her talent became evident, I gave up my practice. took her to Europe, where she studied under the greatest teacher*. Most of them think it's a crime I won’t permit her to do concert work," “I think I can understand yonr

feelings about that,” said Nat. “Ons thing puzzles me. A blind violinist -- does she play entirely by ear?” "Not exactly,” said Tyler. “Sh« ha* a remarkable ear, can play anything she has heard. But she has a vary complete musical library m Braille—and an almost incredible memory. She can read the music — th'-n remember every note.” “That is extraordinary,” Nat murmured. “She’s an extraordinary person,” said Tyler. “I can see that,” said Nat. “Now, about this fear—” Tyler hesitated. “Dr. Karate,” he said, “feels that you should—start from scratch, as it were.” “He wants me to observe this thing at work?” said Nat. “I know; that is one of the tenets of his credo. To investigate every phenomenon at first hand, to take nothing from hearsay. Very well. I’ll do my best, Mr. Tyler.” “No one can do more than that,” said Tyler with a faint smile. “One thing only,” said Nat. “This —this fright—it has something to do with her playing the violin?” “It has,” said Tyler. “That is, it always conies when she is playing—and always at night.” Nat rose. “I'd better be going now,” he said. “I’ll report in the morning.” “Oh,” said Tyler. “But you must remain tonight!” He routed out Raines, the old butler. who had gone to bed. and Raines showed Nat Benson to a large room on th<4 top floor, about midwav'between the rooms of Tyler and the girl. He fetched him tan silk pa jamas, slippers, a brocade dressinggown, a cellophane-wrapped toothbrush, dental cream and shaving materials. (To Be Continued) C'erruiliws w U>« M<C»I!
