THE BLONDE ' DIED by KELLEY ROOS From the Dodd. Mead & O». novel. R<x * ° *** KeUe/ Roofc

SYNOPSIS Connie Barton’s husband of almost five happy years has made her euapictoua lately by his Wednesday night absences: his alibis tor going out these evenings have worn thin. So Connie concludes Steve must be having blonde trouble. She resolves to tight fire with fire. She has her jet hair dyed the blondest blonde and seeks to allure him into staying home. But Steve laughs at her new hair-do and goes out again. Furious. Connie follows him to an office building where she spies him in a private room dancing with a beautiful blonde. Connie realizes he has been taking dancing lessons—as a pleasant surprise for her. She keeps an eye on the door, and after Steve leaves Connie enters the room unnoticed to have an encouraging word for bis blonde teacher. Waltz music is still playing —and the teacher is sprawled on the floor—shot dead. In her hand is a paper silhouette of herself with a needle through it G>nnie looks in vain for another door that the murderer could have used. She grabs the Silhouette and tta appointment book at the unattended reception desk and heads for home.' When the newspapers appear with the story of the murder, they reveal that the Waltzer who had the 7 p.m. appointment with the dancing teacher is being sought by the police. CHAPTER 5 Steve shook his head, signifying it was empty of an explanation. "The hell with the silhouette," he said. “How was she killed? She wasn’t done in by a death ray. She wasn’t poisoned through the mail. She wasn’t bitten by a snake that crawled out of the woodwork. According to you and the newspaper, she was shot to death.” “At close range. Even I could see that.” "So she was shot by someone in the room with her." “But, Steve . . .• “Yes,” he said, “I know! No body was in the room with her but me! Let’s stop proving I killed her!" "The murderer’s already done that Steve, do you think you should go to the police? I mean, before they come to you?” "I don’t know. I’ve got to think about it" “You have some friends on the Homicide Squad. Nobody who knows you could believe you’re a murderer.” “Connie, don’t be an ever-loving wife. Everybody who ever committed a murder surprised the daylights out of his friends." “Yes,” I said helplessly, "but if we explained everything to the police . , . wouldn’t it look better?” "Everything? Even .tell them you stole the appointment register ? How would you explain that Connie ?” : ~ ■ “Why, I. ..* “You wouldn’t have to explain j. it They’d know. Baby, you stole it because you were afraid I had killed Anita." "No! No, I got panicky, that’s afl . . .* “If you told the cops the truth you’d prove to them I killed her. If you lied to them, they’d know it... and that would prove it to them, too." "Let’s not go to the cops. Let’s . forget I ever mentioned it.* -

xnaca wm a toua anoca on our door. "The register," Steve said. I scooped it up, took it into the kitchen and hid it under the bread box as I heard Steve inviting in a man named Bolling. This Bolling was about fifty, not quite stout, but there was a tot of him. Mainly he was a genial man, but on occasions he could be rather pulverizing. We knew him pretty well. Steve had become friends with him in the line of duty. He was employed by the New York. City Police. He was a lieutenant in Homicide. He was atone, he explained to Steve, because his partner was busy elsewhere. It seemed there had been a murder this evening at the Crescent School of Dancing and a rather curious aspect of the case made it advisable for the team of Bolling and Hankins to split up temporarily. Now he was speaking to me. “Mrs. Barton, 1 remember you being a brunette.” “Those were the days," I said wistfully. “You make a fine blonde, Mrs. Barton. I don’t recall ever seeing a blonder blonde." •This man 1 have does good work. He’s very sincere. Won’t you sit down, Lieutenant?" “In a minute." He went to our phone and called his precinct station. He was anxious to have his partner, Hankins, and another colleague named Lewine know that he was at the Barton’s. When they called at eleven to report, they were to call here. It was now a little after ten-thirty. This was going to be a tong, nervous half hour for me and the Waltzer. The Lieutenant moved into the love seat nearest him. He said, “What’s come over the Barton family? The missus a blonde all of a sudden, the mister taking dancing lessons.” “We were in a rut," Steve said. “I wish you still were,” Bolling said. “Barton, don’t you know better than to take lessons from a teacher who’s going to get herself murdered?” "How," I asked, "did you know that? I mean ... we read in the paper that the register had been stolen." "Yeah, the killer stole the register all right But the bookkeeping department had all the students’ names. And we boiled the list down to Anita Farrell’s pupils by having the other teachers eliminate theirs.” Steve said, •'You’ve been busy, haven’t you?” "We got right to work," He took a sheet of paper from his pocket spread it out on the coffee table. It was Anita Farrell’s teaching schedule. It was blocked off into neat squares. The vertical columns were labelled Monday through Saturday. The horizontal columns were marked with the hours from 2 p. m.

note and interest has been filed by Ruth Smitley Gilbert against the estate of Sylvia Smitley. Report Filed In the contempt of court proceedings against Menno Eicher, two local physicians have filed a report on the psychiatric examination of the defendant suggesting further consultation. Dr. Howard A. Stelluer. Fort Wayne psychiatrist, has been appointed to further examine Eicher, who has been remanded to the custody of the sheriff. Set For Trial The complaint for injunction and damages by Alva Buffenbarger and wife against the city of Decatur has been set _ for __trial Nov. 19 on motion of the plaintiffs. - Estate Cases A petition for letters of administration for the estate* of Harold J.

tnrougn Anitas nnai lesson from 9 till 10 p. tn. A half dozen of the blocks were already filled in with student’s names. At one side of the schedule were three other names. "You see," Bolling said, “we’re getting in touch with each of Miss Farrell’s students. We find out what time he took his lesson. Now the killer is certainly going to lie about his time. He isn't going to admit he took the seven o’clock lesson tonight, Wednesday. He’s going to say his lesson was at some other time. Therefore, we will get two guys both claiming the same time. One of them is the murderer. It won’t be hard to figure out which is.” "This," I said, “is going to be an easy case to solve, isn’t it?” "You sound a little disappointed, Mrs. Barton." Steve said quickly, "What are these names on the side here?" “Tolley, Grant, Culligan. They were out when I tried to reach them. I’ll get them in the morning. Now, Barton, tell me. Where shall I put your name ? When, did you take your . . .” I interrupted the Lieutenant. Somehow I was going to keep Steve from answering that question. I wasn’t going to let him be one of the two guys who claimed the same time. I said, “Steve, had you actually started; taking lessons? 1 mean, had you been assigned a time?” "Sure he had,” Bolling said. He was looking at me as though 1 were a dumb blonde. “He’s paid for nine lessons already. How come you didn’t know that, Mrs. Barton?" “Easily. I didn’t even know Steve was taking dancing lessons.” "I was learning to dance to surprise me, too,” Bolling said. “If you learned to dance you’d surprse me, too,” Bolling said “Now, Barton, what time . . .” "How about a glass of beer?” Steve said. “Cool, sparkling beer.” “Sure, I’ll have a beer.” Steve hurried into the kitchen Bolling looked at his watch. He said, “Hankins and Lewine should be calling soon. They’re out checking the lesson times of Miss Farrell’s other students. With any luck we might clear this tip by morning. Thank God the killer was stupid enough to steal the register.” “Maybe he wasn’t stupid,” I said. "Maybe he just lost his head.” “Well, it was a break for us. It means the killer has to be her last student . . . the fellow learning to waltz. Nobody else would steal the register." Why should Connie want te re-visit the dance school? She does, without an tomorrow ia Chapter 0. 4

Bolling arrived, explaining that police have the names of all the teacher's Wednesday pupils and are contacting them about their appointment hours. When Bolling asks Steve his hour. Steve, on the pretext of getting beer, hurries to the kitchen where Connie has bidden the stolen appointment book. So— CHAPTER 6 Dolling was looking at me LJ closely, curiously. I pressed my hands together to still their shaking, I tried to smile casually. I answered the question in Bolling's eyes with one of my own. “Yes, Mr. Bolling?” “I was just wondering . . Steve came into the''room with three glasses of. beer on a tray. "Barton,” Bolling said, "what’s your opinion? You like her better as a blonde or a brunette?” “Blonde or brunette," Steve said, "she’s my wife. Three o’clock Saturday.” “What’s that, Barton?” "I take my lesson at three o’clock Saturday." "Oh, thanks." Bolling wrote the name Barton into the right block. Then he leaned back with his glass of beer. He could afford to relax, even though he didn’t know it In a few minutes Hankins and Lewine would be calling. One of them would have found the dancing man who actually had his lesson at three o’clock on SaturdayBolling would know which one was lying . . . I found myself wondering if Steve would go quietly. “Barton," Bolling was saying, "how well did you get to know this Anita Farrell?" “You know that," Steve said. "1 spent exactly nine hours with her." “ “You must have talked a lot to her.” ‘1 guess so. Mostly I said, ‘Excuse me, pardon me, was that the same foot again?’ Things like that." “She must have been a hell of l a good looking girt.” “She was." _ ’ - r "More than that, wasn’t she?

"No,” Boiling Mid amiably. "Stick He looked at Ma watch. X could have told him what he wanted to know. Hankins and Lewine would be calling in about four minutes or less. He took a long, happy pull on his beer. He said, "This is what I’m getting at, Barton. A girl like this Farrell girl . . . she could drive a man a tittle bit crazy. If one of her students . . . well, if she kept saying no to him, that might upset him to the point where he might put a bullet in her.” "That sort of thing happens,” Steve said. “Almost every day, including Sunday," Bolling said. “It’s alarming. She never talked to you about any of her students, Barton ? Never complained about one maybe who bothered her especially ?’’ “No, she never impressed me as a girl who would complain about anything like that” "Oh. Would you say she was on the make? A tease, maybe? I want your opinion, Barton.” I said, “What does motive matter? In a few minutes you’U know which of two men killed her . . .” The phone rang. Bolling took his chart to the phone. He talked tp Hankins through the precinct switchboard, then he talked to Lewine. He kept mumbling days, hours, names. He kept filling in his little squares. At last he hung up. He sat there then, endlessly, studying his chart Abruptly he stood up. He was annoyed. "Damn,” he said. “We haven’t got it yet No two have claimed the same time.” "Tough,” Steve said. I wasn’t able to speak at all. Bolling snatched up his bat “See you soon,” be growled. He was gone. "Steve,” I breathed, "you lucky, lucky boy!" “What do you mean lucky?” "You happened to pick the lesson time of someone they haven’t got in touch with yet” "It wasn't luck.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 37, lIM

"Weil, you’d pettar learn. Because that’s the only way to keep I a murder rap away from you ... i you, personally, Steve. Do 1 make I myself clear, darling ?" 1 1 fled into the bedroom. I ’ didn't want Steve to think I was £ the hysterical type blonde that ’ was always crying all over men's ' shoulders. 1 • • • The next morning I awoke be* fore Steve. He was stiU»sieeping heavily, and the ashtrays in the living room told me why. It 1 must have taken him until al- , most daybreak to smoke that many cigarettes. My husband , was a very worried man. He was trapped; there was , nothing that he could do to help himself. The taking-off place for ■ the solution to this murder was ’ the Crescent School of Dancing, and Steve couldn’t show his face I there. He would at least be recog* i nized as a pupil of Anita's, if not as the Waltzer himself, i Steve’s hands were tied, but ■ there was something 1 could da It was something I was going to . do without telling Steve. Almost I certainly he wouldn’t let me do it. I 1 had to get out of the apartment without waking him. 1 dressed as quickly as possible, i X didn’t bother with any breaki fast. I stopped only long enough , to check on a hunch I had. It : was a good hunch. In the back ! of the register I found a list of - all the present customers of the s Crescent School of Dancing with i their addresses. I learned that i Mr. Ralph Tolley lived at the Macklin Hotel on West Fifty* t fourth Street. 1 I called the Macklin from the first drugstore I came to on my way downtown. Mr. Tolley was still away. The switchboard girl ■ didn’t know where he was or when he would be back. Yes, she said, he still had his room there. ’ I hung up, feeling a little better. Mr. Tolley hadn't as yet made a liar out of Steve by telling the ; cops that he, not my husband, ■ took the Saturday lesson at three r o’clock from Anita Farrell. I took a cab downtown and I , arrived at the Crescent School of , Dancing just after the first . classes got under way at ten , o’clock. I had a bad moment when I faced the smart reception* ist with the bejewelled glasses. , But if she had somehow noticed , me lurking in my corner the [ night before, she didn't remember ! ma When I asked to see Mr. Oli- , ver Bell, the proprietor of thia establishment, she was most helpful. In reply to my inquiry, she thought there was a good chance that Mr. Bell might be hiring a new dancing teacher. She showed me directly to his office, , Connie's wits are pot to a crucial teat as Chapter 7 of ■ “The Blonde Died Dancing" continues. Read tt to this nova* paper next Monday
