F1r GERALDg BROWN s Duke Mct'ale, private detective. Is n minie the wedding presents at the Dlgelow mansion. While he Is talking with wealthy old Miss Adelaide Bigelow, they hear a shut. A moment later. Curt Vallalncourt, the bridegroom-to-be- , dies In the front hallway. Mct'ale slips away before the police arrive, and hurries to Vallalnrourt's apartment to search It for clues. There he meets Sharl Lynn, a singer, and former wife of Vallalncourt. She apparently knows of the shooting, and betrays herself under MrCale's clever questioning. He notes that she wears a green dress as did the woman he saw running away from the scene. Sharl admits that she was nearby when Vallalncourt was shot. CHAPTER IX "He was a long way ahead of me. There was another dame com- - Ing up over the Hill road that meets the path he was on at the gate by the Bigelow house." "You're sure of that, Miss Lynn? Remember, you may be making a dangerous accusation." Rage flared up in her. She jumped up. "Dangerous accusation," she screamed "I should say It was. She killed him that little blue-bloo- Killed him. I tell you I saw her. He's dead. Dead!" He crossed to her quickly, shak- - levy in a manner that insured the detective of every detail. "You think then," the lieutenant queried when at last McCale was silent, "that there was an old af-fair between them? Something in your telling it makes me feel you are convinced that it was not too recent something flaring up again after a long time." McCale nodded. He closed his eyes a moment, then opened one, as if the other still shuttered an inner thought. "I'm sure of it." he said. "I'm sure you'll find that they may even have been man and wife at one time that they have never been out of touch with each other for long." Donlevy digested this. "Then?" "Oh sure. Lynn was back there after any letters of hers that rt may have kept. I don't think there were any there, how-ever. There wasn't even a stray phone number chalked on the bath-room wall, if you get what I mean." "Quite. It was exactly as if the place had been cleaned of every-thing by the boy himself. Kind of disappointing, what? Because from everything we know, it doesn't seem as though that kind of gent would ever destroy a compromising missive of any kind whatever." laincourt was her own chee-il- d to hear her rave." "To get on with it. the Garboish Karen is quite another ticket. As masklike and cold as the Snow Queen. Concerned, but unruffled, if you know what I mean. She turned a shade whiter, if that's possible, but I got the distinct impression she'd only walk around the corpse and go on her way. A bit too con-trolled. "Victoria was next. She 'blew in with a book under her arm. H;id been browsing around the Public Library walked home." McCale pursed his lips. "I imag-ine she screamed once, made an inappropriate remark and had a long hooker of whisky on it." "You are very adroit." "I've an unusual mind, I guess," said McCale facetiously. "What crack did she make?" "She looked down at the corpse in a kind of mixture of fright and sheer excitement and said, 'Then someone did have the nerve'." McCale whistled. Donlevy turned a page. "Chris-topher Storm the guy that didn't get the girl or almost didn't, what? He probably will now. He swears that he was walking back and forth along the lower Common path, hoping to intercept Veronica on her way home if she should come that way. She didn't show, so he came on up to the house. There's a funny thing, Duke, them all breaking up in onesies after the wedding rehearsal. Oh. well. We come now to Veronica, the bride. "Veronica drove up in a cab the last to arrive. She was strangely excited, I thought. She'd been doing some last minute shopping, saw it was getting, late and got a cab at the corner of Boylston and Tre-mont- He hesitated. ". . . she said." He let his last two words hang in the air. A devastating conversational abyss yawned, for McCale made no reply. Minutes ticked away. When he did speak, it was quietly. "She is the obvious suspect, of course, Bart. The accusation of Shari Lynn; the fact that both Miss Bigelow and I saw a girl in green running away from the scene di-rectly after the murder. Too bad she should have picked the corner of Boylston and Tremont street to get her cab. There are very few shops there and, as you have noted, the path running from the gate oppo-site the Bigelow house, over the hill by the cannon, ends at that precise point. "Hardly coincidence." McCale shrugged. "What about the weapon?" "She must have thrown it away." "Then the area in which to search for it is small. A woman cannot throw too far." "I know that." A thwarted look came over Donlevy's craggy face. "We've had a special squad hunt-ing it for three hours. So far, not a sign of it. We've actually used floodlights and turned up every fall-en leaf, emptied every ash barrel in the park, with no luck." Where Is the Murder Gun? "That, then, for the moment, is that." Funny, but McCale's mind seemed relieved. Thp I'aSP Wan flmtntA mnman ing her by the shoulders. "Take it easy. "You're in a spot yourself. Whoever it was that met Vallnincourt at that gate had on green suit or dress." Angrily she brushed his hands from her arms, faced him. "I know that. She had on a green suit. I saw it. But I was a long way off, I tell you. You're not get-ting me for this just because I'm wearing this green thing. I wouldn't have killed Curt. God, I loved him. I loved him." Her body sagged aWay from him. Her voice was low and harsh, was a cry of despair, as though her throat were all burned out. McCale left Sharl Lynn slumped on the couch. He knew it was use-less to talk to her any more. She wouldn't be of any help. He went quickly through an or-nate bedroom which had a fabulous connecting bath of chromium and glass. There were two closets of expensive linen and haberdashery. He had never seen so many shirts, ties, shoes, socks, and collars out-side a department store. And he went through everything. But there wasn't a single thing to give him a lead, to use as ev-idencesnot a letter, a receipt, a bill not even a stray address. The murdered man had played it pretty smart and close to the ground. Disgruntled, he went back Into the living room and out the front door. It was nine-fiftee- n when the buzz-er in McCale's outer office an-nounced a late caller. McCale laughed, "How are you, Bart?" Donlevy Trades Some Knowledge "Ready to take you over the hurdles for sneaking out on me this afternoon." Donlevy's smile be-lied his growl. McCale smiled back at him steadily. He liked the man. He had the look of careful grooming not often associated with the police. You would place him at about for-ty; a large man, bulking powerful and tall against the heavy door. He was of the new school of officers so "Take it easy. You're in a spot yourself." "True. There is the possibility of a safe deposit box at some bank." "That's been checked. He had a small balance at a downtown bank, but no box of any kind." McCale hunched himself over his glass for a minute, musing. "It becomes very confusing, then. For he must have got rid of every-thing last night or today. Before" he stared unwinkingly at the rim of his glass "just before he went to his death." A long minute went by, while the fire crackled merrily in the grate while each one of the three thought his own thoughts about this conjec-ture. It was Donlevy who finally shrugged it away with a sour look. Duke McCale paused in front of the big man, Donlevy. The gray-haire- d police inspector looked up at him and said, "I suppose in re-turn for your information you want to be brought up to date. "That's only fair," McCale smiled. Donlevy had never once let him down in a matter of this kind, though he covered it always with an air of assumed ill grace. Suspicion Settles On Veronica "Here it is, then, for what it's worth," he said. "There was, in the Bigelow house at the time of the murder, besides Aldelaide Bige-low and yourself, the cook, an up-stairs maid, and the butler. King. The cook was preparing dinner. The maid, Kitty Shane, was hang-ing around the kitchen. They're out, obviously. No motive, no op-portunity. King was fixing a tray of hors d'oeuvres for the usual cocktail hour. He's out for th same reason. None of them saw or heard a thing until the prolonged ringing of the bell." "About Ave minutes after the cruising car got there, I arrived. It was then about twenty minutes since Vallalncourt had been shot. Shortly after that, the family be-gan to wander in and I questioned them in the order of their appear-ance. Sybil and Stephen, her son, came in together. She said she had walked from the church across the Gardens, stopping at Shackley's drugstore for cigarettes. She had chatted a few minutes with the clerk, whom she knew. She met Stephen as she came out of the store. He had been wandering along Charles street, just killing time, he said Likes to walk in the rain-t- hat sort of thing." "There's a jangled lad for you, " McCale waggled a finger. "Neu-rotic. Worried about his wife. Was probably out hunting her up, wher-ever she was." "Sybil is no calm, strong pioneer woman either. Collapsed like a bal-loon at the news. You'd think Val-- widely heralded but orten ridiculed college bred, scientifically trained and carefully chosen. "I'm not really sore," he began. "I only wondered why you took a powder when you and Adelaide Bigelow were practically the only eye witnesses to this ghastly busi-ness. It dawned on me very soon when I found no keys on the corpse that you'd gone to Vallain-court'- s apartment to steal a march on me. Was that nice?" He raised an eyebrow facetiously. "Not nice, but necessary from my point of view. I've got second look before after your squad has d a place and there's never been a hairpin left for us "What exactly did you find from being first this time?" "Nary a clue. The place was as clean as a bone. Beyond getting a good idea of what the lad who lived there was like, there wasn't a false whisker for my trouble." "The setup he had was quite re-vealing, wasn't it? Pure Hollywood half DeMille, half Dorothy Drap-er Very suggestive. Is that all you have found?" "I found a woman." McCale never felt it accom-plished anything to hold out on Don-lev- It only promoted misunder-standing and ill feeling. It was much better to get the evidence first. That was all. He watched the quick interest flash across Donlevy's eyes before he controlled it. before he said casu- - plly, "I would call that a clue, Duke." "Well?" he questioned. "Shari Lynn, the chanteuse, at present of the Latin Quarter and The Abbey." "Umm I've heard of her." McCale went on, then, to tell of his encounter with the night club singer. He told it all, what she had said, how she had looked, bringing the complete picture before Don-- tarily while they talked of pleasant-e- r things. It was nearly twelve when Donlevy stood up to go. "I rather thought," he said at the door, "that you were retained by the old lady Bigelow to get at the truth. Now, I'm sure you're hired to protect the girl." He tried to put it over with a slow smile. "Nothing of the sort has been suggested to me, I can assure you." McCale returned his smile sardoni-cally. "That's the truth." "Okay. 1 have my duty to do. you know." "I'd find the weapon first." "Oh, sure, sure. We'll find it." The echo of Barton Donlevy's footsteps had hardly died on the stairs when McCale, standing be-fore the dying fire, spoke. "I held out on the torn bit of let-ter." "So I see, chief. You don't think the girl in green was the Veronica dame, then?" "Maybe." There was a silence for a min-ute, then Rocky said. "They have not found the rod." "No." McCale's eyes lighted up as he looked quizzically at his friend and employee. He smiled as though' he knew what Rocky was thinking. "Didn't you say the gal who ran away stopped a minute to look back when she got to the cannon on the hill?" "Yes." "Well, chief," he jumped up, "you've been waiting to see if I'd think of it. Of course I have. After all. I've heard you tell it three times. That gun ought to be in the belly of that cannon." They left the office in a mad rush A cab deposited them in rapid time at the Common entrance. It whs late and any police who hid been searching for the gun were gone. 4TO BE CONTINUED) Santa Glaus Provided With Variety of Toys Cowboy and Policemen Replace G.I. Uniforms Toyland, 1946 style, is geared to reproduction of America's peace-time living, reproducing in purpose-ful miniature every phase of home-makin- g, building and road construc-tion, transportation, science, agri-culture, fashion and art. Cowboys and policemen have staged a come-back as Juvenile heroes and minia- - turcs of military equipment are keyed to the armed forces' training programs. New toys have been test-ed by children for fun appeal, age Interest and safety. More than 100,000 different kinds of playthings with a retail value of 250 million dollars, a 35 per cent increase over 1945, are ready for Christmas distribution. The first lines of rubber and steel playthings in four years will bring back such deeply missed favorites as rubber balls, balloons and animals, wheel toys, electric trains, movable eyes and voices for dolls, steel construc-tion sets, musical instruments, noisemakers and pop guns. Many new uses of plastic as well as a bumper crop of wood, cardboard and paper toys also will be repre-sented in Santa's 1946 pack. Special requests to Santa Claus will call for early shopping. Al-- though volume in most lines is close to prewar levels, unprecendented d is likely to create conditions in popular lines before Christmas eve. This will be due to the fact that in addition to pent-u- p demand for toys caused by wartime manufacturing restrictions, Ave mil- - lion extra children of toy age were added to the population during the war years (in comparison with the average of the preceding peacetime decade). 130.000 Lights Illumine Palace of the Maharaja The Maharaja of Mysore, India, to make his fabulous palace ap-pear as spectacular at nieht as during the day, has its exterior out-lined witli 130,000 electric lights which are set eight inches apart and which, if placed in a straight line, would cover a distance of 10 miles. 'The Honorable' Refers but To High Public Officials No American is supposed to be addressed or referred to by the title "The Honorable" unless he is among the high public officials whose importance automatically confers the privilege upon them in the Style Manual of the Depart-ment of State, says Collier's. However, members of congress bestow it widely, recent issues of the Congressional Record showing the title used in reference to such individuals as small-tow- n politi-cians, lawyers and newspaper men.

Czechoslovakia Cards Designed by Cripples Christmas cards, produced by the American Relief for Czechoslovakia, were drawn by Ann Halamova and Premek Blazicek, two of hundreds. of Czechoslovak children who lost their arms or legs through the ex- - plosion of bombs, grenades or mines which the Nazis strewed throughout their country. These tots were trained by the Jedlicka institute in Prague, and the cards, made by children without hands, would be remarkable for normal children even older than they are.
