The council of the Arab League, which Is a group of small Arab stales in the Palestine neighborhood, has voted to provide for a common Arab citizenship.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT “YOU KNEW Mr. Woodfords—wall?" the inspector asked at last from behind the shkddtng pagea of the newspaper. “Oh, yea. Very well He's mads all my clothes. For years," Brenda told him in email gasps, dabbing at her eyes. “1 see. Must have been quite a shock thee, reading he was murdered. . . . You didn’t, by any chance, write him a farewell note ?” “No. 1 said goodby to Mm here, before he went to the station.' Brenda said simply. “And—you didn't know be was fond of caviar ?* Brenda stopped crying, from sheer surprise. “Certainly I did Everyone knew it He liked It so much, it was a standing Joke among his friends," she told him "1 see That's just fine That narrows down the suspects—to ail his friends." Inspector Barry Jeered with a quick glance tn my direction. And then he dismissed Brenda as abruptly as he'd asked her tn. "Thank you. Mrs Knight. That's all for now," he told her pleasantly Please go back to your apartment and—don't go out. I may drop tn later for more information about your late dressmaker And. if you don't mind, I’ll keep your paper." Brenda looked infinitely relieved as she said: “Yea. Inspector." like a docile child Then she threw me a tremulous "See you later. Jane." and left the room. I waited until I'd heard my front door close behind her with the familiar soft thud before 1 asked eagerly: "What's in the paper. Inspector ?• “You and Miss Claire can read it when I’m gone," he evaded. "Now —I want a little attention.

"Well, can you?" the Inspector countered. "Can you cope with the press, all by yourself, when you're the Mg noise of the day, with your name on tha murder note?

The moment the men had left ' Claire and I pounced on Brenda's newspaper and. too excited to sit , down, stood reading the news of Polly's murder, each holding one , end of the paper. "FAMOUS COUTURIER POL , STONED ON CENTURY BY CAV- , IAR." the headlines shouted. And the story underneath continued: "For the first time tn the many i years it has been running, murder I invaded the Twentieth Century Limited, fastest train between New , York and Chicago, when Paul Woodfords, cduturier to the upper i crust of New York and Hollywood, was found dead in his drawing room, and Dr Metcalf of Chicago, i who happened to be aboard, diagnosed death by arsenic poisoning i "Mr Woodwords had ordered a late supper, consisting only of i Melba Coast, a small bottle of vtni tage wine and a bucket of cracked , ice.
