CHAPTER 31 -WOU mean,** Steve aaid, “you I eao't write to Frank Stubbe? Your letters to him might give away ... Ms wheteaboute?" "He couldn’t even tell me where he was going,” said HMr-, riet. "You know, it was so urgetat that he hadn’t time to even s*y good-by. Oh, Frank Stubbs ... when duty called, he was not found wanting. No, no, not Frahk Stubbs.” Harriet was pouring beer from the second container. “Formosa,” she said, “Burma, India . . . wherever you are, Frank Stubbs, I drink to you!” She did, a whole glass of beer, and belched ever so daintily. “Drink to you, my love, and am with you. . . .” Suddenly her eyes were streaming tears. She rose and ran quickly into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. Clara beckoned to us, indicating that she wanted to speak to us in the hallway outside. We followed her. She looked at us for a then spoke in an oddly cold voice. “I don’t know why you want to see Frank Stubbs, and I couldn’t care less. You can see what he did to that poor thing. I humor her, I let her have her drunken dreams. The only true thing she said is that he fta out on her without a word ... after he used up the little savings she had. And he’s not coming back. I haven’t told Harriet and I never will. A friend of mine in Boston read about Frank in the paper and wrote me about It. Frank’s dead, he shot himself.” "When?” Steve said. "How i long ago?” “A couple of months* "Could I see the paper?” Steve I asked. _: “I haven't got ft. My friend . didn't send it, just wrote me I about ft ...” She broke off as the door j swung in. Harriet, smiling wildly, f extended her arms to Us. “Come > back! You mustn’t go, must you, | really?" r “I’m afraid so,” Steve said. ’ "We're late now." I “It’s been so pleasant,” Hart .. riet said, “and when Stank comes I hoiwwfwiiiM 'all get*together, I mustn’t we?” "Yes,” we said. "Good-by.” | Steve and I headed for Ninth Avenue to find a cab.

"“We’ve just wasted one of our Mix hours.” “We found odt about Frank Stubbs ..." > "Connie, if Clara’s right, if he died a couple of months ago, he couldn’t have murdered Anita.” "Well, then at least We’ve eliminated him." “That’S the trouble,” Steve said. "We’re getting too good at eliminating people. We haven’t found anyone with * real reason to murder Anita. Stubbs had one, but if he’s dead, he’s out And'' Wendell Kipp W out so far as we kfiow.

And neither was Oliver Ben, if We’re to believe Leone. So who does that leave us?” “Jack Walston and Dottie Harris,” I said. “Yes. Anita could have busted up their dream of having a night club of their own. Do people commit murder because they want a hight dub?” 'Tm afraid Jack and Dottie aren't the people who would.” “So whe killed Anita Farrell? Me?” “Oh, Steve, we mustn’t give up ... ” “We won’t.” The cab pulled up in front of the school. “Listen, Connie, after I’ find out about Stubbs, FU go home. So you know where to reach me. Yes?” “Yes. So long, Steve." I “Take care.” “You, too. We’re an we’ve got" I "Sweetheart, stop looking at me as if you’ll never see me again.” “Steve ..." “Scamper, get moving.

Wendell Kipp was standing, obviously waiting for someone, probably someone named Hester Frost. Quickly I turned and stepped through the lobby door of a drug store. I was pretty sure that Kipp had not seen me. The Crescent School of Dancing was going to have to get along without one of its instructors for a while. This was no time for me to get involved with Wendell Kipp. This was the time for me to stay free to help Steve. With any luck he would complete his chore at the office in half an hour, then> head for home. • I decided to get there first, • • • When the phone rahg I nearly , screamed. I had been listening for Steve’s step on the stairs, the ; sound of his key in our lock. I had been waiting for our living room door to open and for Steve to walk in. When the phone shrilled through my concentration it was too much for me. My hello was slightly hysterical. "Connie, what’s wrong?"* “Oh, Steve . . . where are you 7” ( ‘The papdr store down the block.” “Why? What’s ..." “Kipp. He’s across the street from the apartment. If I try to get in, he’ll see me." I groaned. “He was waiting for me at the school. That’s why I came home. But I thought I’d shaken him. Oh, Steve, I’m sorry.” ‘lt’s all right.” “What about Frank Stubbs?" “He’s dead. Suicide. Two months ago in Boston.” “Oh, Steve!” "Yeah, he probably couldn’t, raise the money to pay off Anita and keep her quiet, so he killed himself.” "‘He killed himself ... he didn’t kill Anita.” “That’s |ight, Connie. We’ve got to forget about him as a suspect Listen, the reason I called ... I want you to play one of those tapes into the phone for me.” “Sure. Which one do you want i to hear?” “The one with Frank Stubbs.” “Bqt you just said we had to forget about him as a possibil- ’ tty ... ” >■ “Connie, put it on. There isn’t ' much time ...” Steve leaves Connie stranded on a roof top tomorrow, as a t murder suspect closes in. Read Chapter 32 of “The Blonde Died Dancing.” ’ Kelley Roos. © 1956 by Kelley Roos.
