Murder Is an 1 intimate thing." i I remembered, with a little chill the way opinion Jiad turnec against me, the outsider, when murder had struck- at' 'For Havens. They banded these army people. They stood back to Back when there was trouble; and it was- too bad for the stranger within their gates.

After they had taken to, the guest occupied until her left me to make myself home I reviewed the strangers, realizing that, except for myself, there were only and; Felicia. Could either of-them the creeping evil that Miml had chillingly suggested? Gerald, when he had found himself in sole charge of fainted female, had carried me into Felicia's rooms and brought me to with the good oJoVfashioned renftdy of plenty of cold watei; externally applied. I had recov- enough to tell him the trouble when an orderly, looking scared, put in an appearance Gerald sent him for Felicia, who somewhere in the kitchen regions in the opposite wing of the building.

in the hall, Felicia opened the door a and applied herself frankly, to' peeping and eavesdropping. "Jeff's here," she whispered once. "He looks like a wax model of himself. They've got the post 'photographer, taking; pictures." And later, "They're, taking hef away. Oh, the poor kid! I heard Doc Jones say she's been dead at least eight hours." Captain Jones came presently and took my pulse, I was all right but to lie still for a while.

Colonel Pennant came in, looking pretty grim, announced that Mlmi would call me up and, with a glance at' Felicia, that he would question me at his quarters. I did not see Jeff, and I was glad. After they had all departed Gerald came back and asked me If I felt well-enough to go to my room. I got up shakily and followed him, I think Felicia would have liked to come, too, but something In Gerald's 'manner must have discouraged her, for she remained where she was, There was an armed enlisted man in front of my door. "Miss Cornish has to get some of her things," Gerald told.

Did she have anything in Here?" She never brought her things a stenog rapher's notebook once, to some dictation from me." "Where Is lit" suppose she took it awa' viflth her." 1 -I don't know Just when I began to resent his questions, or to wan to get out of'that wliere closed up with him.

There was the memory of that dreadfu form In front of the door. Ther was fear In room and Ger aid was a stranger. "I must dress and pack a few things," I said, trying hot to le him see that his company wa beginning to jfrighlen me. "I you'll wait outside?" "I'll wait here in the slttin room," he said, and I had to with that. I lay on the bed In th Pennant's guest room and remem bered the shrinking fear I ha felt, in with him In tha room where murder had bee done.

And I wondered if he was the evil creeping in truder who, if Mimi was right had brought murder to 1 For Michigan. But what of Mlrni herself Miml, who took long, solitar drives at night; Mimi, whose ca had returned to the barge an hou before Ivan's body was foun there; Mimi, whose past, to at least, was in mystery And what, if you came to that, Julia, who had said o'nly las night of Sandra: "I could kil her My head began to ache.
