"THERE'S MURDER IN THE AIR* by R.OY CHANS LQRw |

SYNOPSIS Ruth Tyler blind daughter of former District Attorney Daniel j 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, he assigns his young assistant, Nat Benson, to the job, suggesting that Tyler give Nat only Ruths background and let him find out the details himself. Nat arrives at the old Tyler home on East 79th Street at midnight. He is pusxled 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. "It began—as always," she whispered. "And then —it stopped!*’ Tyler thinks it best for Ruth not to know she is being studied. At breakfast, next morning, Nat is introduced to her as the son of an old college chum, in the city on a visit. Nat is touched by Ruth’s gentleness and beauty. She is a talented violinist and that night entertains Nat with her playing. In the middle of a love song, there is a crashing discord and the music ceases. "Murder! she, B »/ s hoarsely. "He is going to kill Mr Roosevelt... Now!.. . Five Shots. . .Mr. Roosevelt is safe ... Words ‘Missed Roosevelt! Glad I got Cermak!’” Nat rushes to the radio and. sure enough, the announcement of the attempted assassination of the President-elect comes over the air. Ruth collapses. CHAPTER V Nat and Tyler faced each other across the flat-topped desk m the librarv. Spread before them were the extras of the newspapers. Upstairs at last, Ruth was asleep. "Well?” Tyler asked. _ His face had grayed, aged in the last few hours. His lean hand shook as he raised it to brush back his heavy white hair. "Don’t be so upset, said Nat gently. .... , ,• “I—l know it s foolish of me, said Tyler. "I—l’ll try not to be. "That’s the way to talk, said Na* "Now. ... As lone as I have seen and heard this thing myself, do vou feel able to tell me about the olAer times? I assume there ha e been other times?” Tyler put one hand over the other, held it firmly. His quivering Berves quieted. He nodded, slowly. ‘■l'll explain as well a--- I can. It began several months ago. She was playing for me .alone. And suddenly, just as she did tonight, she stopned—and was deathly afra.d. Os what she did not know. It was as if something were in the air. Nat nodded but was silent. “Always it happened the same way,” said Tyler. “At night, when she' was playing, sometimes down- - stairs for me, sometimes when she j was alone in her room. And al-1 ways it terrified her. I got so I lay awake nights listening, afraid to hear that music begin—and then stop. And then, a week ago, it broke through, much clearer, much more definite. She knew that a man had bee.. not.” He told Nat. then, of the murder of Klau«s, and the strange coincidence in time. And of the girl’s dreadful certainty, two nights before, that a woman named Martha had been strangled—of the confirmation through the radio and Doc Crandall, and later the newspapers. Nat sat quietly, drinking in every word. Tyler stopped and regarded him soberly. “Then—” he said. "Tonight!” ' Nat fought to control the excitement which possessed him. He must be" very calm, very coo! and detached, scientific. He did not sneak for a moment.. Then he said, as quietly as he could: “Mr. Tyler, we may be on the threshold of something so big- so important—so far-reaching in all its implications—” “You—you don’t think it’s anything—anything— ” Tyler stammered. "It’s nothing supernatural, you can rest assured of that,” said Nat. "Oh, I know that,” said Tyler quicklv. "But's it’s- uncanny, to . say the least .. . And it frightens

me. For Iter ! mean. I—l wish : you could—explain.” "It’s something that science has , not been able to explain yet,” said . Nat. "We know that some persons, ; a very rare few. seem to have the i power of receiving, as it were, thoughte or image/ or tomething , from the minds of others. Almost as if the mind were a sort of superacute radio antenna. At first, these . things seem to be caught in the , subliminal mind—that is, that part of the mind which lies just below the threshold of consciousness. Sometimes, but not always, they enter the conscious mind.” Tyler nodded, his face strained. “Your daughter seems to have this power to a remarkable degree,” Nat went on. “And yet in a very special sense. Her mind seems extraordinarily perceptive to one par-

titular kind of stimulus, the intense, 1 almost maniacal will to destroy, to 1 kill.” „ ' "You don’t think—that it will— 1 will affect her mind?” Tyler queried anxiously. Nat shook his head. 1 “Not if she isn’t forced. Not if 1 we leave her alone. The girl is a t genius. . . Bernard Shaw, I believe tn ‘Saint Joan,’ says that a genius 1 is one who sees further and probes 1 deeper than other people, and has < the energy to give effect to that ex- ' tra vision. Ruth has a mind like a : tuning-fork, quiveringly sensitive. Think what it may mean to people | who are in danger, if, instead of < knowing when disaster strikes, sfic can foretell it!" _ _ 1 “What a terrible responsibility for a child!” said Tyler. “And for us,” Nat said, gravely. In the morning Nat telephoned 1 Dr. Karasc in Baltimore. As succinctly and matter-of-factly as posj sible he told him the story, giving no I opinion of his own. Once or twice he heard the psychiatrist’s charac- , teristic little clucks of interest, and he visualized the dark little man, with his bushy eyebrows and his darting, searching smile. There was a iong moment of ‘ silence when he had finished. Then Dr. Karasc murmured: "Ah, interesting, no?” “What do you make of it?” Nat asked, knowing it was a useless question, knowing the exact little ‘ shrug the man would give. He could almost see the psychiatrist ar he answered: "I? I make I nothing of it, my dear fellow. You • are on the spot What do you make 1 of it?” “It’s obviously a case of supernormal cognition.” said Nat. "Ex- - actly how the thing works in her t mind, I don’t know.” “No more do I," said Dr. Karasc. c “But it is very, very interesting, s eh? Perhaps it will come again. Who knows? You will stand by, . no? And obeerve." ; And that was all he could get I from Dr. Karasc. . . . But in the days that followed, there seemed, alas, nothing more to observe. They were completely uneventful. Ruth seemed to bloom with health. That morning when 1 she appeared, she was her old self. • On one point only did Nat question r ' her. That was why she had fainted, s She replied candidly: st "It was just—just that I was so

horrified when I heard the voice m. the radio and realised that I—l had known exactly what was in that man's mind — some of the very words—before he had spoken them. Nat took daily horseback rides in the park with her. renting horses at one of the public stables. More | color appeared in her cheeks. She seemed utterly cheerful and happy. Every night she played for them in the living-room. Always they were watchful, alert. But she never faltered. And afterward, when she had gone to her room, the two men would strain their ears, listening. Sometimes she played, and they would wait, hoping, yet half-fearful that the strange interruption would come. But it did not. As weeks went by and spring was in the air, Nat felt both relieved and disappointed. Relieved, for Ruths

sike and her father’s, and yet disappointed that there was no further chaste'' tonheerve that curious manifestation of her power. ... He need not have been disap. fiointed, for the long peaceful interude was to come to an abrupt and startling end. It was on a night in late April, a soft and balmy night. The three of them had taken a long drive in one of the oncn cars, with Nat at the wheel and Ruth and her father beside him in the roomy front seat. They were proceeding at a leisurely pace along a smooth road in Westchester. And despite the warmth of the air, Ruth began to shake, as if suffering from a chill. Her father felt her trembling at his side, and so did Nat. He stopped the car, and Tyler got a warm robe from the rear of the car and covered her with it. Still she shivered, silently, and Nat hurried for home. When they reached the house, Ruth, looking pale and drawn, went to her violin, without stopping to take off her coat. Tyler, in a quick movement, seized the instrument, held it away. She groped for it in the familiar place. “You’re tired, dear,” her father protested. “Hadn’t you better go to bed?” But the girl shook her head, strangely, a Tittle impatiently. “My violin,” she said. “Give it to me!” Tyier hesitated, looking at Nat, who nodded his head. “I—l have to play,” the girl said, insistently. At another nod from Nat, Tyler reluctantly handed her the violin. She tucked it under her chin, drew the bow across the strings, tentatively. Tyler, a worried frown on his face, stared at her apprehensively. She hesitated a fraction of a moment. Then she began to play. Tha healthy color drained from her face, leaving only the two vivid spots over her cheek-bones. A few bars, and she stopped, stood stiff, rigid, her fingers on the strings. Nat leaned forward intently. Her lips moved. It had come again! "Murder,” she whispered. And then, clearly; "Thcrc'e murder «a the air!” (To Be Continued) Copyrighted by the MeCaU Campany Dlfitrlbuted by King FeMvraa SjMiratv. tee.
