Many leaders, however, sat on the losers' bench throughout the greater part of the session.

Among these were motors, rubbers anc mail orders. Closing results, consequently, were about as mixed as the war bulletins with advances in the majority. Dealings were fast and slow at intervals and transfers for the ful stretch were around 1,100,000 shares. Wall Street was cheered by reports of big Russiart successes against the Nazis and the ability of U. S.

contingents to hold off the Japanese in the Philippines.

"Who took the call? What did he say, exactly?" "I answered," Freddy told him.

"I said, "Whale and a man's voice said, 'Is this where Miss Olive Beadle I said, and he said, "Well, don't, expect Trien he hung up before I had a chance to ask who-he was, or how he knew about her. or where she was, or anything else! I called Hanson and him, right away, and he tried to trace the call. But he couldn't find out anything about it except that it was made in town here. The operator said there'd been a flurry of calls right about then, and she didn't notice who called the Inn. All she knew was that it a long distance or a toll call." "What d'you make of that?" Cummings inquired.

"That make any sense to you, Asey?" Asey shrugged. "Course," he said slowly, "it's perfectly possible she just happened to do somethin' out of the ordinary tonight, an' wanted Mrs. Doane to know she was all right, but'd be late. On the other hand--" "On the other hand, she doesn't do things out of the ordinary!" Freddy interrupted. "I i I could make you understand that!" Freddy broke off as Hanson entered the living room.

He looked distracted, too. "Where the hell have you been, Asey? I wish you wouldn't go dashing off! Peterson wanted to talk with you before he left. Look, he says there's everything to indicate Colt rifling on the bullet the doc found, and the markings on the bullet show no slippage as it took the rifling, so it's probably from a Colt automatic and not a revolver." "Huh!" Asey said. "In other words, she probably was killed by a bullet from the twenty-two that was there in the booth with her. Peterson he?" "He said tors.

I'm forty-eight, as a mattet of fact. Mayo, I gather it's Ann who's been killed, and not Olive, and I also gather from Cumming's mutterings that he thinks I killed her. I didn't. I was very fond of Ann. But, as I told Cummings, if it'll make the authorities happier, go upstairs and go through my things.

Prod into anything that strikes your fancy. You'll find a forty-five Colt in my bureau drawer, and a license tn carry it in- my pig-skin wallet And--tell me, why does Dr. Cum. mings dislike me so?" "Wa-el," Asey said. "I think.ifs mostly the bill you owe him." "The bill I owe him? But I don't! I left money with Freddy to pay that bill last year, before I went home! If she forgot, why didn't he send me a bill? My God!" "He said that he did, "He never did! I never got any! How utterly ridiculous, to suspect me of killing Ann because I didn't pay a bill he never sent me! Was that the reason he had me seized by that trooper? I was brought in here and told to wait for you.

Nobody explained why." "Didn't they bring up the matter of somebody lurkln' around peer in' into windows?" Asey asked. "I brought up that matter, myself!" Rankin said. "Look, you remember my cigarette threw it at Hanson, and in all that rush after Elissa, I forgot to retrieve it. I'm fond of that lighter, so I went out to see could find it. And when I turned saw- bushes and waited to see if the fellow might come back.

In my own way, I was trying to be helpful I thought that, under the circumstances, someone darting around bushes in a surreptitious fashion was someone to grab and invesigate. And while I was lurking there in the bushes, waiting, this trooper a me. I'm Rankin "that he the corner of the house, I someone dart away from was pretty sure, was there's always the chance it wasn't, but I think he's sure. He'll phone us back later, and he's going 1 to look up and see if he can't find out who boughl the gun--what's the matter with JIAI-?" her? He pointed to' Mrs. Clutterfield, who was still squealing at intervals.

"Ooooh!" "What's the matter with you?" Hanson said brusquely. I a goat was so: "What's she talking about? Hanson appealed to Asey. "I don't think," Asey said, "it's worth the timt to'go into it. Tell me, Mrs. Clutterneld, just what was you lookin' in windows for, Mrs.

Clutterfield said. anyway? "Ooooh! "I saw all these polipemen moving around! Alfred was afraid. He said there might be trouble. I wanted to see what was going on! Really, if it's a matter of a fine, I'm sure I can--" "I'm sure you can. too," Asey said.

"Tomorrow mornin', Mrs. Clutterfield, I'll "tell you the fine, an' you will. Right now, you go up to your room an' stay there!" Mrs. Clutterfield scurried up the stairs. Now For Rankin did you pack her off like that for?" Cummings wanted to know.

"I can't concentrate with her squealin' so," Asey said. "Besides, I'm sure she ain't got a thing to do with this. Her problem is run- nin' over a goat." "What was all that about fine?" Cummings persisted. Asey grinned. "That's just a charitable problem.

Doc. Where's Rankin?" "You'll find your friend in the amoking room." Cummings drew on his overcoat and picked up his little black bag. "A blend of tolerant amusement and refined irritation. He was only waiting for a street car--I mean, he was only chasing someone I always enjoy that it-wasn't-me-it-was- two-other-fellows angle. Have fun with him.

I'm i to. join Carey." "You're goin' to do more work tonight?" Asey asked in surprise. "Thought you hated workin' up there at night. You a a claimed the place didn't have enough light." "It doesn't," Cummings said. "But there are several things I wanted to find out.

I'll let you know if anying comes up I think would interest you. Good-by." Asey made his way to the smoking room, where Hankin was reading a logue. Sears Roebuck cata- 'Hullo," flankin up. "Why do you look at me that way? Have I aged?" "Nope," Asey said. "I just never had a good look at you before tonight, what with our either bein' outside or in a car or in a hall.

I thought you was older." "It's the beard," Rankin said. "A wise uncle of mine pointed out years ago. that successful geologists wore beards. People somehow connect beards with auces- sure, Rankin concluded, meant well. So did Bright Girl Asey said.

"Now, ten 1 me about this girl Ann Joyce. will you?" "She was an awfully i and talented girl," Rankin said promptly, "and I was very fond of her. She worked for me as my secretary the winter before last. It was admittedly a stopgau job She wanted to go on the stage. She was good-looking, and had one of the lovliest voices I ever heard, and I thought she had ability.

So I told people about her, and helped -her get in the South Pochet Barn Theatre last summer. And I don't mind telling you that whatever success the Theatre enjoyed was due wholly to Ann. Last winter she got some understudy jobs, and this summer, she came back to the Barn Theatre to get more ex- perience." "Then," Asey said thoughtfully. "you couldn't hardly, in all honesty, refer to her as star, could you?" "No. That's Rankin said in a troubled voice, "I can't begin to understand this business of her being shot! Ann wasn't important, in the sense of her being any colossal, glamorous success'in the theatre! She wasn't.

She was just a talented, ambitious youngster starting to work her way up." "An" bein' at the foot of the ladder," Asey said, "she wasn't far enough advanced on her career to have what you'd call awful complicatm' problems was she?" "She had problems," Rankin returned. "Who doesn't have problems? The problem of getting three meals a day is no. less acute in the theatre than it is anywhere else!" "Uh-huh. But there wasn't Hollywood agents fightin' over her," Asey said, "or admirers challenging each other to duels, or people she'd stepped on yearnin' to pick out her eye teeth. Nobody stood to lose millions because she did this thing instead of that thing.

The point I'm makin' is that while her problems mattered to her, they wasn't important an' far reachin' enough to make someone want to kill her." "I don't see why anyone would want to kill her anyway!" Rankin said. "You can't think of anyone you might call an enemy of hers?" Asey asked. "Anyone that might have had a grudge against her?" Rankin hesitated. "D'you remember," he said at- last, "I told you earlier in the evening that it wasn't fair for you to ask me my opinions of the people at the Inn until I knew who was killed? Well, now I know it was Ann, I'm not going to pre- tend to pull any punches. The Barn's success last summer was due to Ann.

Elissa Hingham's one of the Barn's backers. Elissa's husband, Horace, is the way," Asey interrupted, just for the record, what's Horace's last name?" "His last name?" Rankin said. "Why, it's-- let's see. Sproul. I think.

No, it isn't. It's Henderson, or Sanderson, or Martinson, or something. I don't really remember. Anyway, a has wit enough to know that Ann- ffnnrt good. is To be continued FOtTND DEAD OF GAS IN TOURIST CABLN KANSAS CITY, Dec.
