CHAPTER FORTY-SIX ‘Continued) IT was 4 the following afternoon. David Bannister stepped out of a delicatessen shop a block from the Shelby Arms as a long gray roadster polled up to the curb "You’re on time, he said to Coleman. "Is it going to be all right?” • Everything's o. k.,’ Bannister assured him. I saw Hollister go down the street five minutes ago. He'll be away for at least three quarters of an hour." "Haw’d you fix that?" “I asked a fellow on the Post to make an appointment with him. It's all right, but wed better get started No use wasting time." me] walked toward the apartment hotel As the 1 neared the entrance Coleman halted. Think it's all right to go in at this door?" he asked. "Sure. Why not?” Well. I didn't suppose you wanted any one to know—” I don't." Banni ter said shortly, and they won't We’ll attract less attention going in here than we would prowling around trying f i find the servants' entrance.” They entered the hotel and walked toward the elevators. "Mrs Kennebec in?” Bannister asked casually. The clerk nodded. Let's see she's on the second floor, isn't she 0 " A second nod answered that. There was a pause and then the elevator appeared. The two men rode to the second floor and stepped into the corridor. ■ It’s down this way." Bannister said turning to the left. r rt .t 'T'HERE were two doors one on 1. either sine of the passage way. The one on the right side led to Mrs Kennebec's apartment and the one on the left to Matthew Hollister's It was before the dour on the left that Bannister paused and took a key from his pocket. "Where’d you get that?" Coleman asked in surprise. "Never mind about that. Let’s get through with this .job!' Bannister glanced about and saw there was no one else in the corridor The key slipped into the latch turned, and the door opened. They entered, closing the door softly behind them. The living room of the apartment with its oldfashioned furnishings, was just as Bannister remembered it. Bannister and Coleman stood still for an instant. Somewhere in the distance they heard the low. monotonous sound of a vacuum cleaner Otherwise the place was silent. Gingerly Coleman stepped forward. starting toward a door. "Not there!” Bannister said in a hushed voice “That's Melvina’s bedroom. He led the way into a narrow hall with a half-open door at the end 'ls this Hollister's room?” Coleman asked. "Yes.” Well have to have some light.” Pull down the shades first,” Bannister instructed. A moment later the shades were lowered and the room was aglow with light. Then, methodically, the two men set j to work. . CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN "PARKER COLEMAN looked up X from the open bureau drawer he had been searching. “There's nothing here," he announced regretfully. Bannister, on his knees before the clothes closet, said "Try the bathroom next." Bannister was going through a pile of pasteboard boxes. He finished and shoved them back into place, got to his feet and paused, frowning. They had seaarched Matthew Hollister’s bedroom high and low, but had found no sign a revolver. Bannister pulled out the drawer of

a table and p- ered into it. No revolver there. He had known that anyhow, because he had looked m the table before. Then he went into the hall, paused before the door of the bath room. "There’s no place here where anything could be hidden.” Coleman complained, "except In this cabinet.” The door of the medicine cabinet stood open. On the narrow glass shelves an assortment *of bottles and boxes were arranged, most of them bearing labels or trade names and all too small to conceal anything as bulky as a revolver. “It's not there." Bannister agreed curtly "Well, come on. We’ve barely started." They continued the search. Bannister went to the kitchen and started going methodically through the cupboards ana drawers. Everything was in perfect order. He suspected nothing had been touched there since Melvina Hollister last arranged her kitchenware. But the revolver was not to be found. Parker Coleman put his head around the door and asked: “Do you think wed better stay much longer? Somebody’s liable to come." “I’m not going until I find that gun." Bannister told him doggedly. "I’m sure it’s here and I’m going to find it.” Another ten minutes passed. Bannister. finished with the kitchen and turned his back on it. He found Coleman in the living room. He had pulled the heavy writing desk from against the wall and was looking down behind it. “Thought there might be a chance it would be down there,” he explained. Bannister nodded. He sat down ar.d began taking books from the book case. As he took them out he stacked them in piles on the floor. He had finished with two shelves when ipddenlv he jumped to his feet and went to the window. B B B COLEMAN was beside him. "What is it?” he demanded anxiously. “Turn the lights off, will you?” When the room was in darkness Bannister opened the window cautiously and making as little noise as possible. He looked out. shook his head and then closed it again. "You can put the light on now,” he said. “It’s not there.” "What's not there?” "A window box.” "What?” "I thought he might have hidden the gun in a window box,” Bannister told him. "Just an idea I got somewhere. But there isn’t.any.” “Listen,” Qoleman objected. “I don't think we should stay here much longer. You can’t tell what' may happen." Coleman's eyes were bright with nervousness. The other looked at his wrist watch. "We’ve been here twentyfive minutes." he announced. "There's another twenty before there’s danger of any one coming.* - “But Hollister may decide to come back sooner than you think he will!" "We’ll have to take that chance,” Bannister said, apparently unruffled. "Well. I didn’t think we’d find the gun in this room anyhow. Let s go back to the bedroom.” "There's that other room we haven't look in,” Coleman reminded him. "That’s right." Bannister opened the door of Melvina Hollister’sbedroom. For an instant it seemed he still could see the bulky outline of the sheeted figure, lying on the smooth, white counterpane. But the illusion was gone as quickly as it had come. He entered the bedroom, pulled down the window blinds and touched the electric switch. iTo Be Continued.)

TARZAN THE INVINCIBLE

Where could La have gone? In the great forest that spread below Tarzan there were countless trails. Somewhere below, her spoor must be plain m L he freshly-wet earth, but he realized that even for him it might prove a long and difficult task to pick it up again.

As he turned back rather sorrowfully to descend the barrier cliff, his attention was attracted by a movement at the edge of the forest below. Dropping to his belly behind a low bush. Tarzan watched a column of men debouch from the forest.

Tarzan had known nothing of what had happened to Zveri's first expedition to Opar. The mysterious disappearance of the party had mystified him, buj here it was again, and where it had been in the meantime was of no moment.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

Tarzan wished that he had his bow and arrows, which the Opanans had taken from him. But if he did not have them, there were other ways of annoying the invaders. From his position he watched them approach the cliff and commence the ascent.
