SYNOPSIS Aboard a ferry, snrout* to vl»it hi* fiancee, Jane Rider, David Far* land prevent* *n attractive young woman from jumping overboard. The hysterical girl entrust* him with *n envelope, requesting that he deliver it to the socially prominent Richard Garrison, if she doe* not call for it within a week. No* ticing a couple watching them, the ’ girl’* eyes dilate with fear. "I knew he wouldn't play fair!” she exclaim* and dashes away, dropping a compact initialed “C. 8. and a pamphlet entitled “Americans, Warning!’* On the train, David discover* th* envelope is missing from hi* pocket. At her home in Haverttraw, a* Jane prepare* to meet David, her thought* go to Kurt Helm, the writer, who rented the old log cabin nearby. At first he had been fascinating, but last night he had changed shockingly. "1 shouldn't have come to this place,” he said. “Lean people living on fat lands, thinking of nothing while the world blows up around them.” Then he went on to threaten to take Jane away from David. At the station, David see* the mysteriou* woman again. He asks Jane to follow her taxi, but they lose sight of it. Running out of gas, they walk to a nearby garagq where they encounter Mat Breanu. the Broadway big shot, and hia friend. Fan Rubley. David accidentally pulls the mysterious lady'a compact from his pocket. Breanu snaps it up. "How did you get this 7” he growls. The stubborn David refute* to tell. Breanu return* the compact to David with, "Oivc me or Dick Garrison a ring, Monday.’’ Garrison! Thatwaath* man the girl on the boat requested him to contact. Returning to Jans’* home, th* young couple stop at a iltti* railway station store, where David encounter* the man and woman he believe* stole the envelope. A fight ensues, but the mysterious pair escape. David ■how* Jane the "American*, Warningt" pamphlet. She suggest* the elusive lady may have been a spy. CHAPTER SIX "I ought to have brought my flashlight," Jan* murmured. She groped along be-ide David to where they had left the coupe under the trees.

It wan a long drive. David kissed her, an they reached the short, winding road near her home. The windows of the old brown farmhouse were lit. Lanterns flanked the front I door. Timmy streaked for the ear, barking. He wriggled adoringly around David and Jane. “Mo-therl" Jane cried, her heart ; light again. Kurt Helm, in baggy tweeds, fol. lowed her motheuto the car. He looked subdued, friendly, his fair ; coloring greenish in the glow of the \ ear lamps. But Jane felt his eyes inI tent upon her, as if his mood of last night was not yet over. "Well, children, 1 was beginning to worry." Mrs. Rider's voice sounded relieved. 'Gee. it’s good tn be here, Mother Rider!" David hugged her. "What ! did I do with my bag?" He started i for the car. “You put it In the rumble east," 1 Jane reminded him. She avoided Kurt's persistent stare. David moved alertly; lifted the unlocked top of the rumble seat. He ' , reached in; staggered back, white i and daied. He clapped his hand to ! his mouth. He felt violently ill, "David—" Jane was the first at his side. His shaking hand pointed to the , rumble seat. "Sht't in—there!" Hie voice cracked. "The woman on the ferry—lt's murder!” “Farland's right. The woman's 1 dead. Don’t touch her!" That was i Kurt Helm's voice, hoirse as if the < September fog had got into his lungs. Mrs. Rider and Jane stood frown, 1i

Now a murdered woman had been smuggled into the rumble seat during the last few erazy hour* since David arrived on the 5:57. “Murder!” Jane gasped, backing away. She stared at the warm familiar lights of her home; breathed in the damp country air. “How do you know it’s— that, David?” He stiaightened, and took Jane's arm. "I just know it la," he said unsteadily. Nausea ehoked him. Could he ever forget the white face, glazed with fear, of the woman on

the ferry! Perhaps he should have let her jump overboard. She must hsve expected something like this. "Shall I call the troopers, or will you, Mrs. Rider? They’re at Bardonia." Helm’s voice again eut harshly through the shadows. He still bent over the body in the rumble seat, but Jane felt his green eyes upon her and David. She couldn't control her trembling. “It it's—of course, I suppose we must.” Mrs. Rider turned with one of her decisive gestures. "I’ll attend to It, Kurt." She walked slowly up the brick path to the old brown farmhouse from which two generations of Riders had gone to their rest. Nothing like thia had ever happened in the family. She went in and dosed the door, leaning against the wall before dialing Bardonia. It was a party line. Everyone would know. Jane stayed very dose to David, her hands clenched. She mustn't cry. Pictures streamed through her confused mind: Mat Breanu and his blonde in the garage—the black compact which had aroused Breanu to such emotion. And, later, David's fight with the strange couple in Macklin's store. She heard again, like a signal, the wail of a train on the ghostly track in the mist. David drew her to him. She said piteously, "! can't believe it. We saw her alive, didn't we, in the station? And you said she was in the taxi we followed. I don’t-” Her lips quavered. “You don’t suppose that Breanu—ho recognised the compact you had. and it was hers—oh no. that's ridiculous—” "Buck up. hon.” David gave her a little squetac, Hu blue eyes were
