“THERES MURDER IN THE AIR" by R.OY CHANSLOR. J

CHAPTER XXjuv “Guess I'll wind thinn np now. Anything else I ean do for you, old manT” Kilrane asked. Tyler said. “Ono more favor. Strictly under the hat. I’d like to talk to Nicky Gabriel—alone." Kilrane looked surprised. “Guess that can be arranfod," he <ald. “I’ll have the boys bring him in here. Afraid It’s a waiita "f time, though. You know those fellows. They never ‘alk. If you think he’s going to tell you who was his brother’s Inside man, you’re going to be disappoints.” “Oh," said Tyler. "But you see I know who acted as Gaudio’s accomplice." Nat and Kilrane stared at him in incredulous amazement. “You—know I” Nat gasped. Kilrane was speechless. Tyler nodded, a grim smile playing briefly across hi* face. "But I haven’t the foggiest idea es the motive—nor a lick of proof," he said regretfully. “But—God, man, if you know—" Kilrane began Tyler shook his head. *Tve got to have the proof before I show my hand,” he said. “But—at least you can tell us who it ie you suspect t” Nat cried. Again Tyler shook his head. "You wouldn’t believe me, son,” he said. Twenty minutes later a group by Commissioner Kilrane and Tyler emerged from the foyer of the Palm Gardens A great shout went up from the tremendous crowd which surged beyond the emergency police lines held firm by every available detective, mounted men and reserve patrolmen. Reporters and photographers, cards in their hats, swarmed toward them. Directly behind Kilrane and Tyler, between two husky detectives, stood Nicky Gabriel, his face sullen and defiant. He looked neither to right nor left. Nor did he flinch or try to cover his face when the flashlight bulbs blazed. Other detectives cleared a path and he was hustled to the waiting police car. The flashlight bulbs blazed again upon Paul Gordon, and upon Carlotta, the heroine of the occasion, who shrank back against him, trying to shield her eyes from the sudden glare. Then it was the turn of Helene and David to pose. Reporters began to bombard them with questions, but at a brisk command from Kilrane half a dozen detectives stepped in and quickly disposed of them. Then the Gordons, with Tyler and Nat, were escorted to a second car. Gordon and his family got into the rear; Nat and Tyler climbed in beside the police chauffeur. Kilrane was still standing on the steps. They waved at him, and he raised his hand. The motorcycle escort, sirens screaming, started, the crowd fell back and the two cars passed through. Nat stole a glance at Tyler, sitting beside him. The older man was staring ahead, into the night. The muscles in his lean jaws worked, but he gave no other sign. Nat’s mind and his heart were filled with dread. • • • • In the darkened room in the cottage Daniel Tyler held his daughter closely tn his arms. With nis lips he caressed the lids of her sightless eyes. The slight shiver which had been running through the muscles of her shoulders and her arms eeased. “It’s all right, Father,” she whispered. “You can depend on ma” “It's the only way, Ruth,” he said huskily. “You won’t be harmed. If I have to, I’ll shoot—and shoot to kill.” The girl shivered again. "Don’t, Father, unless you have to,” she said. “There’s been so much of death.” He held her until the trembling had atopped. Then he kissed her lightly on the forehead. He led her to the bed. She lay down, and he placed the violin beside her. Then he went quickly to the windows, closed them, returned and looked down at the girl. “Remember,” he said softly. “If you play, do it very, very quietly.. No one must hear.” “I understand,** said the blind girt Swiftly Tyler crossed the lawn. When he entered the living-room, he found them waiting for him, as he had requested, Gordon, on the sofa, between his wife and d» tighter, Doris, in a big chair, with Nat parched on the arm, David, John-

•>c!ssors and fed them with hie blood. Still they wouldn't fight. ”1 have only rattlers and cobras with me,” he said. 'But I’ll send to my farm in Louisiana for a real fighter and il’ll put on a show with I him you’ll never forget.” The adder, ft was believed, was the snake Stilth had eent for. Smith occupied a room In the Alpine h».tel on McGill college aveinue near the unlvetjtity. There were only a few guests in the hotel

son, Nelson arc 1 Harrigan, ail standing. I Tyler stood in the oer.ter of the group. He smiled sympathetically. ( “Thia will be no inquisition,” he I said pleasantly. “All that is done . with, now. for good. You’ve all had * terrible time. You’ve come through it beautifully. It’s been a pleasure , to know so many peoplo of c- urage ; and integrity. Now the nightmare in which you have lived for weeks ; is ended. You can all go back to '' your old way of life, secure and . nappy." , His eyes went to Nelson and Harrigan. “You and your men have done . well,” he said. “But there’s no longer any reason why this should be an armed camp. I’m afraid ycur jobs are finished.” Nelson grinned. “Know just how you feel, Mr. Tyler,” he said. “Guess we could uso a little relaxation ourselves, new. I’ll be takin’ my Boy Scouts back to town. And it might as well be tonight, if that’s all right with Mr. Gordon." Gordon looked surprised, while Johnson, starting forward impulsively, protested: “But you can’t do that! Gaudio’s accomplice—" Tyler cut in: “Is no longer a menace, Johnson. We’ve got him where we want him.” “But I don't understand,” Johnson said. “I just had word from Kilrane that they picked up Collins in \ew York,’’ said Tytar. “Os course he denies everything, but he’s our man, all right. And there's enough evl- , dence against him to send him away for a long, long time. Maybe even enough to put him in the chair alongside Nicky Gabriel. No, Johnson, this family has no further need of guns and guards.” Tyler uttered this lie with a complacency that was almost smug. To Nat what was happening was al- ■ most incredible; he was half in- , dined to believe that Tyler had taken leave of his senses. Johnson gulped dazedly, but made no further protest. Everyone else was exclaiming over Tyler’s “news.” Gordon rose, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He smiled at Tyler gratefully, and then went to Ndson, put out his hand. The man looked at it, abashed, for a moment, then wrung it warmly. “Os course, it’s all right with me. Nelson," said Gordon. “You’ve all earned a rest. Also, it might interest you to know—a little bonus.” Nelson shuffled his feet uncomfortably. “Thank you, boss,” he said. “But it’s getting late,” said Gordon. “No need of you rushing off like this tonight Won’t tomorrow do?" Nelson saw Tyler's lips move. He shook his head, grinning. "I got a wife who’s gettin* lonesome,” he said. “So if you don’t mind—” “Not at all,” said Gordon. "I’ll have a couple of the chauffeurs run you in whenever you’re ready. Good-by, Nelson. And you, Harrigan.” He shook hands with the burly Irishman. Then the two men departed. Tyler smiled after them. Then he turned to the others. “There’s something I want to tell you all,” he said, “and then we’ll call it a night. Something about myself—and about Ruth—and Nat. Something I think that will make you understand just why we’ve done what we did. I’ll go back and start at the beginning.” Slowly, quietly, ho told the story of the development of Ruth’s strange power. Os her first vague, unformed premonitions of disaster. Os her eventual certainty, that night, of the murder of Martha Erik. Os the astonishing night when Zangara, the assassin, was about to strike at Franklin D. Roosevelt. To those who had never heard the story he addressed himself directly —to Johnson, to Doris and to Carlotta Gordon. He came to the first realization by Ruth that Paul Gordon’s life was in danger. In detail •he recited what had followed. Gor- ! don squirmed uncomfortably, when Tyler told of his skepticism, his refusal of their aid. But Tyler smiled at him reassuringly and went on with his story. How Ruth had known that the assassin va. about to shoot Gordon, how his life had been saved by her warning. How later, she had known of the invasion of th* grounds of

the estate by Esai, the hired killer. He described the scene in the cottage on the night that Ruth had foreseen peril for Helen.-, told hr." ho and Nat had run to her aid, how they had been puzzled by the circumstance of the tumec-off burglar alarms, how they had even suspected that some member of tbu family, or Johnson, had shot Nat to escape detection. ... x . “I’ve already apologized for thoio suspicions " Tyler said with a smile. “I apologize aga'n. But what was Ito think? Until I realized that Collins was Gaudio’s creature, it ; seemed in : .'edible, yet true, that :t waa a member of this very household ” He went on briskly, as if hurrying to get through, to tell the rest of the story. F.e talked with the top of his mind, hia sharp eyec ever observant for the slightest sign Ot betrayal on the pstt of the guilty persen, a sign that did not come. In his mind w ns a grudging admiration for the iron nerve which field that person calm, interested, aoparentJy, but manifestly absorbed only as evervone else was absorb’d. When he 1 ad finished he gave a little sigh. There was a moment of silence, and then everyone was alking excitedly, but no one more than another. Tyler answered their questions until they had exhausted them. Then he threw out his hands expressively. ■'That’s all.” he said. "Except far one thing: Always there has been a limitation of Ruth’s power, that supernormal cognition which h«s enabled her to reuse, somehow, the malignant purpose of the human mind.” He paused and then said, sign: .1cantiy: “She hat never been able to identify the pe-egon to whom that mind belonged/ Thus, we have worked in the dark. She knew whnt was in Gaudio’s mind, but she did not know who the man was. The same was true of Collins." He paused again, impressively. “The next step,” he said quietly, “the step we are working toward, is the development of her power to the point where she can not only sense this malignant purpose but alto identify the person who holds it That step, I think, is very near at hand.” He paused once more, dramatically, and swept the circle of faces with his probing eyes. Ee masked the exultance which flooded through him. Ah, that had struck home! Ha had planted the seed, the seed which he hoped would sprout luxuriantly, the seed of fear, as desperation. “I am a little afraid of this step.” he went on, gravely. “Frightened * —for Ruth. It’s something which I cannot hope to understand, you see. A while ago, as I talked with her, I could see it coming. I stopped her, because I was afraid. I—well, I persuaded her to take a sleepingpowder. Because I want some on? present when ehe makes the great experiment, some one who understands such phenomena—Dr. Karasc.” “Dr. Karasc—he is coming?” Net cried. Tyler nodded. “I telephoned him, told him,” said Tyler. “He feels that he can safely leave his patient in Baltimore for a day. Hs is coming—in the mopping. Then we will put Ruth to ths test She knows nothing about Collins. We will ask her to name Gaudio’s accomplice. And if I’m right, she will name—Collins.” A murmur ran through the room. Tyler kept his eyes on Nat. He had no need of watching the others now. He felt a wave of sympathy for the boy. He was so strained and white. Obviously, he had divined his purpose, realized that a trap had been set —with Ruth as the bait. And ho was pitifully afraid of what that trap would bag. Tyler turned to Gordon with a tired smile. “And now I'm going to say good night,” he said. “And since I’ve got to pick up Dr. Karasc at his home at eight o’clock in the morning, I think I’ll run into town tonight.” “I’ll drive you in,” said Nat promptly. He banished the dread from his heart. It was time for the showdown, he realized. The trap was set. He must follow Tyler’s cue, £ive the killer a chance to walk into it. Tyler nodded to him gratefully. Gordon was protesting. But Tyler was firm. (To Be Continued) CcwrlshM *1 <ka MrfM C«msa>t Distributed bv Blm fin Ist.
