And Jan Proust's door was shut then, and wide open the next morning when Mr. Strom went by. Something went on between the time 1 was there ard .Strom came by—” "If it really was open as Strom says.” •’I believe him!” I said hotly, Jlare giinned at me. “I didn t say I doubted him—any more than I doubt everybody. Listen, Miss I>risenfl. thii i* murder. Somebody’s in a’spot. All right, you've got an alibi, you’re not scared but the rest are. thev’re not taking any chances— ’’ “f AM scared! I get goo«eftesh all over me every time 1 think of J’ g and me alone on that top floor,

with people trying our door knob, i and trying to crawl in our win- i dows—” He grinned again, “I think you 1 scare too easy!” i “All right. But 1 didn’t imagine I the man on the fire-escape last I night. 1 SAW him, and so did Miss Hudson, and you can laugh at my theory, but the man in that vacant , studio Monday night, and the man on our fire-escape last night, might • be the same person—and he might turn out to be the murderer!" “In which case it would be nice if you could identify him,' he said, dryly- . . . Every time 1 talked to the man I was at a disadvantage. 1 made up my mind to stick to reporting and let him do the detecting. I even got a little rarzing about the fire-escape story at the ofßs e. That’s what happens when you get a reputation for being a bit nervous and jittery. But I didn't imagine that hulk balancing on the ledge trying to get in our window, and even if I did, Peg didn’t. Peg never imagined anything in her life. Yet when Madame Hurd came out with the belated story that she saw a man coming out of the building about 10 o’clock on the night of the murder, when she was coming in, it was accepted as gospel truth. She even described him. thickset, about five feet eight, wearing a light overcoat or raincoat, a muffler, and a soft hat pulled well over his eyes. A All the papers printed the story of course, but the Express made a lot of it, with a signed story by Chris Hall, and an artist’s sketch of the man, made from Madame Hurd s description. I might have been more impressed if I hadn’t known that she is so near-sighted she does not even recognize her pupil* on the street. And besides, with the coroner s statement that the murder was not committed before half pest 10 or It, what was the point in all this fuss about someone she happened to see leaving the building at 10. As fur •’ I could see they weren t getting anywhere But all day-long the payers were coming oat with big scare heads and more pictures of Gil’s women. It was far from a pretty story. More and more it came back to the coroner's verdiet: “By person or persons unknown.” tn whispers and openly, it was discasaed whenever two or three of ua got together tn the buiMing Yea walk from one floor to the text without finding two or three

| with their head* toffethar. Bam Utt buttonholed everyone who passed : h - door, with hit theories about Jan, and I never realized before how they aii hated him, the kindest, most gen- < rous -oul in the world. Professional jealousy, 1 suppose, since he was a i ig natni- and they were nobodie*. It made my blood boil. Poor Mr. Strom followed me like a faithful dog, asking, “Anything new, anything new?" la»te Wednesday afternoon he begged me to come down to hi* showroom, on the pretext that he wanted to show me a bargain in a fox chubbie. Actually he wanted to talk about hi* latest theory. He had the idea that the murder did not take place in Proust's studio at all, but that Gilbert Castle was killed somewhere else, and the body brought there in the early hour* of the morning. It did not sound very plausible to me, but I wa* listening intently until I realized that Mr*. Strom wa* not listening at all. She had moved over to the partition that separated their room from L'U's and had her ear to the wall. Strom paused a* he saw my attention wavering, and Mr*. Strom held up her hand and signalled to us and we—ye«, me too—we moved

up nearer and listened. After all, • we were more or les* justified. ’ Mrs. Utt, whom I’d always pitied 1 because sho was such a suail, white 1 mouse of a girl, and so browbeaten < by that big, red-faeed, blustering 1 husband others, wa* crying, and he was ranting and raving at her. ' “But darling, I'm not telling anyone else," her voice came ek-arly 1 through the thin partition. “I’m < just telling you, and you can tell 1 me why you went It’s because you’re not telling me the truth that I’m worried. Why do you say you DIDN’T go downstairs that night? I heard you go. I HEARD you. Oh, Sam, I’m «o worried, you've got me so worried —’’ Utz swore a big, round oath and yelled, “Cant a man go down to the washroom without telling his wife about it? My Gott, are you erazy? Do you think I did it? What do you want to do, hang me? Why don't you go tell the police—go call the inspector—” We heard her crying, and she must have clung to him because there was a wuflle and she fell against the very wail we were listening at and cried the louder. He was stamping up and down, swearing and cursing at her and every minute or two he’d say, “So I am supposed to ask you, ean I please walk downstairs? It's come to that, has it? A man has to ask his wife, please can he walk down to the vi auhroom — ’* “But Sam," she said, gently, “it was only because you said you didn’t go down that I brought it up! I woke up, and it was 3:00 o'clock and you were gone, and then you came in and I went back to sleep Why did you say you didn’t go down when I knew you did? Suppose someone saw you. suppose someone 1 thought that yoa—” “Oh »hut up," he yelled, “and 1 stay shut up!" “No. I must tell you. You've got , to know—" 1 “So it’s something to tett!" Hl* i voice sounded quite different then There was utill the bullying, angry I note, but there was fear in it, too. ; “It's only, Sam, that last night, r ia your sleep—• !

Her voice rose shrilly and he must have put hi* hand over her mouth because it stopped suddenly, and then we heard her body fall to the floor, and then only the sound of heavy breathing—hi* breathing. He’s killed her, too! 1 thought, and Strom and I both raced to the door and opened it, just in time to see little Mr*. Uu groping her way down the hall to the ladies’ dressing room, her face averted. She certainly was not killed. Strom closed the door, cautiously. “Now what do we do?’’ he said. “Well, what do we know, really?" Strom cupped his ehin in his hand* and thought. “I guess. Miss Driscoll, we don’t know anything. A man goes down to the washroom at three o’clock in the morning, and he talks in his sleep- A* he says, is that a crime?
