GIRL IN THE GREEN COAT V&

SYNOPSIS Gil Castle, society playboy, ia murdered in Jan Proust's music studio in the Foliar Building Returning home aiound midnight, Mary Driscoll, a newspaper reporter, had a feeling that someone wa* in th* shadow* watching her a* she reached Jan's second-floor landing. Then th* door of the vacant studio opposite bi* dosed slowly. Terrifietl the ran up to the fifth-floor studio she shared with Peggy Hudson, an interior decorator. Next morning the tragedy is discovered. Al) the tenants, except Jan. had spent the night in the building despite the management's order prohibiting sleeping on the premixes. Mary telephonee her office, but the thrill of a news beat ia missing. Sb* had been in love with Gil ever since she met him on a boat five year* ago. but th* feeling wa* not mutual and he had “dated" her only once eince then What had brought Oil to the shabby studio building-unlee* to tee Jan? But Jan wouldn't commit murder Certainly Oil wasn't interested in the other tenant*. Emilio Raymond th* commerciel artist, wa* th* most attractive of all. but she had half a dozen auitore and. a* far ae Mary knew. Oil wasn't one of them. In relating her eaperience in the hall, to Inspector Hare. Mary add* that th* door she eaw closing wa* always kept locked Superintendent Orant contradict* this, saying th* lock had been broken for some time. Mary telle the story.

And then I remembered. without pleasure, that I had toft Peg in a deed faint on the kitchen floor. The thought of Peg and Esilie Raymond laid out in neat faints on the kitchen floor put wing* oo my fleet. 1 did not bother about the elevator. I tore up th* throe Eights of stairs imagining borribi* thing* all the way. A fine sight it would be if one of the homicide squad beat me to it. Oh. why did 1 run off without waiting to find out if they were all right? Suppose th* seemingly husky Peg bad a weak heart? That didn't aeem very likely, but then I did remember what I had forgotten in tbe •xciUment, that Mie* Reymond was just recovering from a bad case of th* flu. and flu docs leave people with weak hearts. I flung open th* door, and almost knocked over a plain-clotbaa man who was on bi* way out. “It's Mary Dnseoll, she ttvoo here.” Ptggy explained. She was sitting on the seta with Ermli*. and I need not have wormed about them, they had both recovered.
