Yesterday: Tait is amazed to learn from Macy that he has an interest in Dombey’s band. Macy then accuses Tait of being in love with Myrna.

u ES,” Leonard Macy repeated ¢ quietly. “you are in love with the girl. That must be the reason for your interest.” . Tait’s first reaction was one of anger. It was with difficulty that he restrained himself. Then he realized that Macy meant nothing by ® his inference. The wealthy amateur detective merely was thinking aloud. “That’s absurd,” Tait told him. “I hardly know Mrs. Dombey.” y Macy nodded. “I am glad to learn that my surmise is in error. Because, undoubtedly, Myrna Dombey will be convicted of the murder of 3 her husband.” Tait’s lips closed in a thin line. Then: “Well, I'm afraid you've already made up your mind, Mr. Macy. There’s not much need of my stay- & ing here longer. Leonard Macy rose from his chair. “You are always welcome, my boy.” He put a hand on Bob B Tait’s shoulder.- “But I want. to \ give you a little advice, if I may. .Don’t get mixed up in business like this—for a girl. It’s not just that you'll find yourself wrong. But you'll ¢ find that a woman wasn’t worth it. ' And that discovery is always damaging to a man.” “Thanks,” Tait said. .He walked » into the hallway, turned there to - shake Macy's hand. “I wish I were

No question but that Myrna was a girl to make a man stop and ° think. But that he could be in love with her was, as he had insisted to Leonard Macy, absurd. He'd seen his share of women. He : was tough and cynical. There wasn’t |} ! a girl in the wide world who could |f take him over the hurdles unless he wanted to go. And he'd pointed a camera at plenty. J He'd snapped princesses, and ac- || tresses, and beauty contest winners, and dazzling blonds who had married four men and shot a fifth. He : had caught them in their moments ’ of petty vanity, and he thought he knew them for what they were. Why should he be intrigued by this slender girl who had been a stenographer and somehow caught the eye of Ludden Dombey, king of swing? Why? There was, Bob Tait told, himself, no reason at all.
