"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 being committed but is powerless to give sufficient information to prevent them. These weird visitations come upon Ruth while she plays 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, »o he assigns his young assistant, Nat Benson. to the job, suggesting that Tvler give Nat only Ruth’s background and let him find out the derails 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. Suddenly the strains of a violin come in upon their conversation. stopping abruptly. Asking Nat to follow, Tyler rushes to Ruth's room where they find the girl terror-stricken. ‘‘lt began—as always,” she whispered. And then—it stopped!” CHAPTER IV Nat lay awake for a long timr. going over the case in his mind. He kept listening, wondering if the music would begin again—and then stop. He was hoping that it would, so that he could see, more definitely, its effect upon the girl. Bnt he heard no sound, and after a time he dropped off and slept. Winter sunshine streaming through a window wakened him. He rose, stretched, breathed deeply of the brisk morning air. Then he bathed, shaved and dressed leisurely. finding, somewhat to his surprise, that socks and linen, new and of his correct size, had been laid out for him while he slept. This mystery was explained when Raines, the butler, arrived to ask him to come downstairs. He had limply come In early in the morning. noted the sizes, and gone out and purchased the necessary things. Now he told Nat Mr. Tyler and Mi's Ruth were awaiting him. Nat found them in the livingroom. Tvle- and the girl of the violin. She looked perfectly fresh, unmarked by her experience of the night. The great dark eyes turned toward Nat as he entered. They did not seem like sightless eyes. Thev were warm and alive in her delicately oval face, which was touched now with healthy color. When Tyler introduced him, the girl smiled sweetly, and Nat took her outstretched hand, soft like her father’s, with the fingers so slender and delicate and long, yet so firm and strong. , , “How do you do, Nat?” she asked, in a voice gentle as a caress. “How do you do—Ruth?” he answered. She held his hand a moment, smiling up into his face. “You are very tall,” she said. “Almost as tall as Father. You have a nice voice, too. Father has told me all about you. I am very happy to know you." Nat suddenly felt a pang of regret for the role he must play. But he murmured his sincere pleasure. She sat on the edge of one of the big chairs, her little feet barely touching the floor. Nat thought 1 that never had he seen a human beI ing so exquisite, so spontaneously and-naturally charming. His heart warmed to her. Breakfast was announced. It was served in a sunny room overlooking wh'at, in the spring, would be the garden. They asked him how he liked his room, and when he replied enthusiastically, they both smiled their gratification. They chatted pleasantly through the meal, Tyler indulging in some fictional reminiscences of Nat's father. nnd their youth together. This, again, made Nat slightly uncomfortable. although he realized the wisdom of keeping his purpose from ; the girl. But somehow he did not like the idea of deceiving thia lowly creature.

Presently ahe asked him if he liked music. And he had a sudden thrill. This, after all, was the key. lie assured her that while he was not a musician, he did like good music and hoped to hear her play often. , . „ "I shall play for you tonight, she said. No mention whatever was made of the events of the previous night. After breakfast Nat excused himself and went to his apartment to get his luggage. He packed, made a few purchases, and returned to the old house in the late afternoon. He did not see either Ruth or Ty-

ler until dinner-time. They dined quietly. Afterward, at Tyler’# suggestion, the three of them took a long walk in Central Park. Ruth was quick with appreciation for the sounds and smells of the night. She walked surely, easily, almost as if she could see as well as they. And her seemingly fragile body was tireless. When they returned to the house, Ruth announced matter-of-factly that she would play. Nat again felt that thrill of anticipation. He took a chair in the soft-lighted livingroom and relaxed his body but not his mind, waiting. Tyler produced the violin and sank back in his own chair, his long fingers interlaced, his face brooding as Ruth briefly tuned the instrurr.enL Then she began to play, softly, and her small glowing face, so tender and alive, became transfigured. Nat stole a look of curious awe at her. She was no longer cither the lovely unspoiled child of the morning, nor the poor frightened creature of the night, but a great artist, completely absorbed in the music. She played with fingers disciplined by a lifetime of hard practice, and with her heart and her »oul. This, Nat knew, was genius. It was an experience unique in his life, this first glimpse into the matchless artist which inhabited the girl’s slender little body.- He was entranced. drawn out of himself by the spell of the music. She played for a long time, al! kinds of mu «ic, from the classics to charming Viennese waltzes, simple folk-songs, gay modern melodies. Then she began a languorous lovesong. ... And suddenly, in the midst of it. there was a crashing discord and the music ceased. Jarred out of his mood, Nat f 'lanced quickly at Tyler, who had eaned forward, the bones in his thin face standing out sharply. The girl stood stiffly, bow aloft, fingers still on the quivering strings. Her face, except for 'wo vivid spots of color o» her cheek-bones, wa# dead

white. Her fingers trembled en the strings, then were quiet “Murder!” she said, hoarsely. "Murder!" The two men sat immobile. Nat was fascinated —and chilled. “I can feel it more and more, the girl went on. “Black hate. . . . A mind churning with hate! Death. .. . Death. ... Death! Kill all rulers—all kings. Kill Roosevelt!” She gave a little gasp of horror. “He is going to kill Mr. Rooscveltl He is going to shoot!” She moaned helplessly. Unable to restrain himself further, Tyler sprang to his feet

“Who, Ruth? Who?” he eried. She shook her head, bewildered frightened. “I don’t know who—l don’t know! But I can feel it—a dark evil thing. He—or is it she?—is going to strike!” The pupils of her great eyes dilated. Nat felt himself powering to move, “Ruth 1” Tyler cried again loudly. "Ruth!" “Hush,” she said. “Hush!” She waved him back. Tyier stood helplessly, his eyes on her face. "Now'" she moaned. “Now! Shots! Many of them. . . . five shots. . . . Mr. Roosevelt is safe! Missed! But others fall—several. . . . A woman—two women—a man —a big man, an important man. Words now! ... Words., .. ‘Mined Roosevelt! Glad 1 got Cermak! Too many people are starving!" She stopped, suddenly, the violin sinking from her shoulder. Tyler put an arm about her, supporting her. As if released from a spell, Nat jumped to his feet, staring at the radio cabinet against the wall. “Roosevelt is speaking nt Miami Bench!” he cried. He ran to the radio, turned the dials. A confused roar, then a voice, an excited voice, could be heard, the voice of the radio announcer at the very scene: “An assassin has just attempted to kill the President-elect! Mr. Roosevelt is unharmed, but Mayor Cermak of Chicago and several others were struck by bullets. The man is being over-powered! A gun in taken from him. He is •creaming: ‘Z kill all Presidents! All the officers! Too runny people are starving to death!'" In her father’s arms the girl slowly crumpled.
