It was because of this that on the following morning Bannister dropped into Chief Henley’s office. The chief was busy but his secretary -aid Banni v r might see him in half an hour or so. Bannister waited and presently was ushered into the private office. ‘Good morning, chief,” he greeted from th° threshold. Why, David! So you’re stiil with us. Coine in. won’t you?” They were old friends. Police Chief Henlev had held that post for twelve years. Os medium height, slightly rotund, his clear, fresh color belied the snow white hair.

No. of course not.” bob CHIEF HENLEY turned more comfortably in his chair, lifted one knee over the other, anti leaned back. "Well.” he said. ”1 don't think it’s such a difficult case. We’ve handled harder ones. Our main problem is to get that girl to talk.” "You mean Juliet Fiance?” "Yes—if that's her name. You never can tell about those things. It may be a name she picked up in a book. We’ve had her here for

three days now? and I've never seen such a stubborn creature!” B nnister leaned forward. "Do' vou really think she shot Kin?” he asked. The po'ice chief laced his fingers together. “I'm not saying that,” he said, "but I'm certain she's the key to the whole affair. Maybe some one else—a— man—did the actual ?honf;ne. but I'm not convinced of that. She's making hprslf sick—" "Cant you do something about that?” "Wr ’ll have to do something about it!” The chief v nt on speaking and Barn ; *rr looked across the room. Suddenly he was aware that he - ;,d r been listening to what the other man was saying. He turned. “Look here, chief." j lie said. Don't you think there's a better way of getting information from that girl?” Wha do you mean?” Well Bannister hesitated. I talked to her.” he said, the first day she was here She didn't strike me as the ordinary sort to be mixed up in an affair like this. She i well, she just doesn't look it. Don't ! you think you could get more out of her if she weren't in Jail?” BBS rpHF look the police chief gave; A lim was incredulous. "Are you; MIC:* tint: .hat I should turn her 100.-* ’" he demanded. Os course not! I just thrtlight :f then was some place you could put her where she could be j \atched as closely as she is here.; without realizing that she was being watched, you might learn a lot more about her. Henlev nodded “I see what you mean," he said It's an idea It might work possibly. Still, I don’t | know where I could send her. No. I'm afraid I don t know of a place—” * “I do!” Bannister interrupted eagerlv. My Aunt Kates.” “What?” “Mv Aunt Kate’s,” Bannister repeated firmly. It's just the place. I’ll tel! mv aunt she’s an old friend of mine. And the girl can think she's dismissed but that you want her to stay in town for a while longer. She won’t know there are strings to it. You can have someone watch the house—” "Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" the chief protested. "You' mean Mrs. Hpwiett would be will- I ing to take the girl into her home?" ! “Why not? Tell you what—how about having one of your men come out and pretend he’s—say, a gardener. No, that wouldn’t do in November, would it? Well, then, a house man. Tend the furnace and do errands and be sort of general handy man, you know. Even my aunt won't neod to know what he's reallv there for. He can watch every move the girl makes, check up on everything she says and does!” Henley shook his head “This is a police department. David," he said. It's not a school of dramatics.'” “But listen, chief !” “Its a crazy idea. No, Im afraid it's no use to us!” Twenty minutes later Bannister was it the telephone, calling a number. “Aunt Kate.” he exclaimed when he heard her voice. "I've some news for you!” CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT THE girl said. But I don't see why you're doing all this for me. I don't understand !” Bannister leaned forward and spoke to the taxicab driver. “It's the next, house on your right.’ he said. The white one. Yes—that's right! ” The cab hahed and Bannister stepped out. “Here we are!” he said, turning to give the girl his hand. She stepped to the sidewalk and looked at the small white house, set well back from the street.. (To Re Continued)

TARZAN THE INVINCIBLE

Realizing that he would gain nothing by remaining there. Tarzan decided to leave the cell. When he sought to open the heavy door, ha could not budge it. On entering, he had raised the bar. which had dropped into place of *fts weight when the door slammed to.

Though not enough light entered the cell to illuminate its interior, there was sufficient to show him the nature of the ventilating opening in the door. He found a number of round holes, all too small to permit him to pass his hand through in an attempt to raise the bar.

As Tarzan contemplated his new predicament, the sound of stealthy movement came to him from the black recesses at the rear of the cell. He wheeled quickly, drawing his hunting knife from its sheath.

Tarzan expected the attack of another lion, He wished that his eyes might penetrate the darkness. If he could see the lion charging, he might be prepared to meet it. Tarzan felt death was inescapable.
