Zt the latter, H wild horses weren’t going to drag p it fr n him. To establish Uh truth or falsity of the statement he l.a lp made oughtn't to be too d.fficult. | If the bills in the w<» I box wre not his, he had disposed of his own ca. ii between the time he left the ,J bank at a few minutes of three 1 and 4:10 when he said he arrived here.

The only thing that had , saved her wks that the killer didn't ( know she was in the cottage. From the back of the house, the lights ( w rer.’q-viable.

tmngs. He t nm< oacg to aware- 1 nraa sharply, broke off. turned hto dark head and looked at the Scotsman through the gloom, his sharp- j ly angled face wary. "What’s tliati >t ’ j do with anything in particular. Inspector?" "tin. I don't think you and Michael Nye were friends . . .” ■'You're wrong. Mike was a good "You wouldn't like to tell me what you really went to see Nye about on the night he was killed?" "I did tell you." "Yes, j », of course. Now you say you last saw Nye here in fit-- ‘.-I! on the morning of l» cember th>- tenth what Decemh> r? Forty-three? The year John Wardwe.ll died?" Darrell retreated. "That year, yes. It might have been the tenth or any other day at around that time, 1 don't really recall . . He recalled, all right. The nucleus of the d-ssensiun between tne two men, a curious little incident, was now pinned to a definite date and gave them something to go on. Darrel! w>m restless. "Am I to consider myself under arrest, Inspector?” "Not yet, Mr. Darrell . . . Don't have Brookfield. I shall probably, and Lieutenant Carstairs of the State Poll-e will certainly, want to question you later on this evening." "O. K. See you then , . Darrell walked off along the road at a rapid pace and M< Mee turned and went slowly beck toward the cottars*. He was disgruntled, out sorts and altogether thoroughly dissatisfied with himself. In an investigation into homicide, a second killing to conceal the commission of the original crime was a commonplace. Up until now, had managed to prevent that? He hadn’t prevented it this time, fiven hfs pre r nee In Brookfield was fortuitous. He had come up here to see Mr Zantint. the Broolfik-ld garage and filling station owner who had been in the Wardwell house late on the day Wardwell died. He had made the journey in the hope that Zantini might tie able to shed more light on what was close to John Wardwell’s last hour of life. He hadn't yet seen Zantini; he had only just arrived at the barracks when Stephen Darrell s call came through. The cottage cou’d tell him very little, simply that Dutch Pete had wc <i it an a hideout The wretched little man was aa dead as a doornail. He had died because he had tried to cash in on knowledge incriminating to John Wardwetl's and Michael Nye s murderer. Safety for sale—it wua't a seller’s market. The little ex-handy man had brought about his own death. He couldn't talk, but there was one thing that might be made to do so. That was the ground around the cottage, the stretcher of meadow and woodland between ft and the Wardwell house. The snow had gone for the most part, but soft •pots, damp places, might hold some trace of a definite footprint It wasn't too good • chance. and it would be a long busifiera He hud no sooner entered ths cottage

itnan wnat small chance there wns ■< f tracking down Dutch Pete’s Killer by a rev< ding footprint was | three fifths wiped away. Nicholas Dray and Hat a i I ram. Li Mott came tramping in. Like Darrell, they had seen the lights from a distance they said. Informed of what had occurred, ' the appropriate emotions were appropriately displayed, shock, surprise, bewilderment, curiosity—and innocence, always that. McKee didn't even auk them any questions. He had certain things to do first. They had already , messed up the ground coming this way from the Wardwell house. There might be others going the I othet way, In reverse. He-request-ed them, gravely, to return home, by the road, dispatched a trooper with them to see that they did so, and after a scrutiny of the rooms and an uninformative search of the dead ex-handy man's clothes and Ford, he returned to the barracks for a conference with Lieu- I tenant Carstairs and a talk over ! long distance, first with his own office, and then with the District I Attorney's. it was six when he reached the | barracks. The next few hours were to a minute scrutiny <>f 'the whereabouts, between half-past three I and half-past four, of all the peo- | p[e concerned in the two previous murders, of which Dutch Pete’s : was the third. To walk through I the wools to Catherine Lister's 1 coltags, salt the woodbox with ■ cash, wait, kill, and return to the Wardwell house, could have been done in as little jia twenty to I twenty-five minutes. i The trouble was that no one’s • uncorroborated word could be acI ceptni and there was no inde- > pendent check. The single trooper i left in the house, after Catherine IJvter walked into town in the I > middle of the afternoon, didn't, . . and couldn't, make an adequate re- , > port. The grounds were extensive. I • there wers half ways of, getting In and out of the house" ■ and he didn't have eyes in the back I of his head. The net result, as far > as alibis went, was zero. Neither, when the phone rang I for McKee at nine o'clock, had he i discovered what Stephen Darrel! i liad done with eleven hundred doi- | lars In casli between the time he t left the bank at three and a few 1 minutes after four, when he turned I up at the cottage in the woods. The doctor who had taken Cath--1 ertna Lister to Danbury was on - the wire. Dr *flobson said, "I don't ■ know what to do. There's no prl- - vate room vacant in the hospital, i and Miss Lister wants to return to i her aunt’s, and a Captain Bray la i. here and clamoring to ara the • girl . , McKee thought for awhile. There 1 was danger for Catherine I.kit er - tn ths big white house among treea 1 on a hill a mile and a half away. 1 On the other hand he came to a t sudden decision. He said, "All i 1 right.
