CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Jane walked away. She passed through the main room of the library, smiling. Her smile went dry and hard, as she reached her car. She didn't blame anyone. Then, as she climbed into the car, she saw Kurt Helm—sitting in David's seat! Her pent-up nerves let go. "What are you doing here?” "Easy, girl." His hand lightly touched her wrist; withdrew. "I fueased you were in for gnef when saw you leave this morning. So I followed, and parked my car at the station. I confess I snooped around, asking questions. I knew you’d be laid off." "What business was it of yours!" Jane burst out. “Only this,” Kurt's green eyes hypnotized her. “I’ve got a job for you." “You have?” Jane stared at him. He didn't seem the same person she had feared. She had made so many mistakes; perhaps she bad misjudged him. “It's with friends of mine, the George Givens. They live very near. Shall we drive there, for tear" His thin proflie sliced between her and the afternoon light. Who were the Givens? Her continued stare mutely questioned. “If you trust me," he urged : gently, "your friends will be beg- , ring to meet the Givens within a I few weeks." “11l take the job," Jane said recklessly. e e e o Two hours after Mat Breanu, Broadway "big shot,” had him fired from Slagan's Sport Shop, David Farland deliberately started in on double scotches. For a lad who only went on occasional binges, he made , a complete job out of getting drunk. But slow flres burned back to the murder of Carlie Breanu. Was it only last Saturday that he had started for a week-end in such high spirits, for a holiday with his girl ' and her mother? So sure Jane would say yes this time; so confident in h!s job. How could he guess what his encounter with a beautiful woman on the ferry would mean to his future? How the devil could he know that th’i woman, Carlie Breanu, would be found stabbed to death in the rumble seat of Jane Rider's car, when they finally reached the Rider farmhouse? What a boob he'd been, trying to help; shooting his mouth off to state troopers, detectives, reporters! No wonder Jane had no further use for him; no wonder, after his cracks at the inquest, the neighbors, friends of the Riders, resented him. When he thought of Mat Breanu. David's fists doubled on the hard little bar against which he hop pened to be leaning rather heavily at the moment. Breanu, strutting into store that afternoon, flaunting his blonde, and the ebony stick over which David had pulled such a boner at the inquest. Why had Breanu cone in there with that toothy smile of his, and his friendly overtures? Why should a "big shot” like that look up a mere salesman and invite him and Jane to dinner, unless he had idcaaf Jane was the idea. David hadn’t missed Breanu’s silky, dark eyes fixed on her. David kept going.... "Anything on your mind, buddy?" A different bartender spoke to him. There were few customers in this bar which offered the usual background of polished metal and rad leather. “Scotch.” David pushed bis glass forward. Life was not the palsy- , cate myself." One of David’s fists

pounded the shining bar. Then he paid his bill and wandered out on a side street, his blue eyes a little glassy. He walked, not caring where he went. He jostled against an impeccably tailored blond man, walking fast in the opposite direction. “Sorry," David muttered. His blank mind photographed the man who hurried away. "Spittin* twin of Kurt Helm,” he thought vaguely. But Helm lived opposite the Riders —a guy who dressed in leather and corduroys, and wrote books. He'd been a washout at the inquest "I’m batty," David thought and resumed his uncertain course to the nest drinking spot There was something he ought to do first: 'Phone Richard Z Garrison, of course. Tell him what no one else except Jane knew, details about that envelope Mrs. Carlie Breanu had entrusted to him for Garrison. But someone else knew. David wove his way carefully, on the street, among blurred bodies and figures going somewhere. Rod and green lights blinked at him. New York wasn’t his friend any more. He went doggedly forward, his mounting fury centered on the couple in whose existence no one really believed. But Jane believed—Jane who wasn’t his girl any more. He couldn't afford to marry. Janet Fine and sharp, she stood out dearly amid his churning thoughts. Very carefully, he stepped into another place off Park Avenue. He had another drink. Then he went into the telephone booth; fumbled through the book, and called a number. Someone there told him that Mr. Garrison was out. Any message? “No,” David suddenly shouted. He stalked to the bar; ordered Scotch. People were staring at him. A pretty girl slid away from the adjoining stool The world seemed to rock and split into lights. “You don’t know who I am, and you care leas." He spoke loudly into a spreading bush. "I’m the sap who—” Someone grabbed him by the elbow. A soothing voice cut him short. “How come you knew this is one of my old haunts?” It was Bill Wright, grinning while bo increased the pressure on David's arm; steering him to the street. David grew docile in the cool September air. Good old Bill! “You wait—" he mumbled, a finger to his lips, “I know things. Mustn't tell ’em—" “Let's walk, and talk later." Bill hooked himself to David. They walked; later they had dinner in a small restaurant off Bleccker Street. David discovered he was hungry. With savory food and several cups of black coffee, his brain cleared. “Thanks for the nacue. Bill,” he said ruefully, “I guess I couldn't take it. Breanu fame into the shop after you telephoned. We had a few words, end—weU, the boss sacked So—* "So yon got tight.” Hill leaned forward over the checkered table clotb. He was sympathetic. “11l bet you’re in wrong with your girl, i too." “How de you know?" David snapped, and sank back, lapsing into gloom. “Come out of it!" Bill lit a cigarette with sudden energy. His hands i and eyes were hover still. They were like delicate antennae fooling over surfaces. Ho was always going 1 places, with a tiny camera tucked somewhere on his well-dressed peri son. And he was now growing impatient with David. "Will you play ball with me or * not?” He asked abruptly. i David drank the c&d dregs of his
