NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER III Kate Hewlett read the words iloud, shock and amazement in ler voice. "TRACY KING. BAND LEADER. SLAIN IN HOTEL." "It's terrible." she exclaimed. "Simply terrible. Oh, David!" He was not looking at the huge, black banner headline but at two lines of smaller type. "Unknown Blond fs Sought By Police," the linps read. Bannister stared at the six words. Mrs. Hewlett went on, reading aloud: "Tracy King, orchestra leader and master of ceremonies at the State theater, was found dead from a bullet wound in bis head in hla nunrtment at the Shelby Arms hotel ho-tel shortly after 11 o'clock last night." Over her spectacles she eyed her ne-nhew. "That's why he wasn't at the theater!" she said excitedly. "My stars! Think of that! The poor young man was lying dead all the time Oh, but isn't this terrible!" terri-ble!" "Read the rest of It," Bannister said abruptly. Mrs. Hewlett read on, "Police who believe King was the Tlctlm of a murderer are searching for an unknown blond woman, said to have visited the orchestra leader during the evening." Again she looked up. "A woman!" wom-an!" she exclaimed. "What did I tell you about that fellow not being be-ing j;ood enough for Denise Lang? Denise is a blond, too " The words trailed off and she continued reading: "Captain Oliver Oli-ver .McNeal of the homicide squad raid a detailed description of the woman's appearance is in the hands of the police and that she is certain to be apprehended within 24 hours. "The bullet which caused King's death entered the left side of the head. - There were no powder burns, eliminating the possibility of suicide. According to Coroner Charles J. Westwood, King had been dead more than an hour before be-fore the body was discovered. The body was found by Al Drugan, also a member of the orchestra, and J. A. Link, night clerk of the hotel. Drugan explained that he went to King's rooms to find out why the band leader had not appeared at the theater for the 10:45 vaudeville performance. Unable to enter the apartment, which is on the third floor, he summoned Link and together to-gether they entered the three-room suite. "King's body was found lying an the floor of the bedroom. He was fully dressed. There were no Rigii3 that a struggle bad taken place but a desk in the liviug room had evidently been rifled. Two of the desk drawers had been pulled out and their contents was in a disordered state. ""ACCUPANTS of nearby suites, when questioned, said they had not heard the shot.

Mrs. Fraser said she might have heard the report of the gun that killed the orchestra leader and thought it was a part of the radio drama. "C. A. Nelson, living directly above King's apartment, reported that he reached home about 10:30 and had heard no sounds of any sort from- the rooms below. "Two employes of the hotel are said to have given police descriptions descrip-tions of KJng's mysterious feminine femi-nine visitor but that description has been withheld from publication. publica-tion. The employes said they saw the woman enter the building but did not see her leave. "A. B. Kauffman, manager of the State theater, could ascribe no possible pos-sible motive for the crime. King's absence last night, he said, was the first time the orchestra leader had missed a performance. During the i 10 months in which King was em- j ployed at the theater he had be- ; come widely known in musical circles cir-cles of the city. His engagement to miss uenise lang, aaugnier oi j Arthur J. Lang. 4S62 Sheridan Road, was announced last week: J The marriage was to have been an j important social event of the Christmas season. "Miss Lang, when informed of her fiance's death, became prostrated" pros-trated" "I should think she would!" Kate Hewlett interrupted herself matter-of-factly. "That's a silly thing to print. I should think any gij"l would become prostrated, to hear that the young man she was engaged to had been shot and killed. And to think It was by another woman! What did I tell you, David Bannister?" It was an exclamation, not a BUDDIES V0Nb OKAY '. 1 VVEARB 1 tfs0 TO VOOO MfWte A. the photographs. question. Bannister dad not answer. an-swer. He had turned away and was looking out through the crisp, white ruffled curtains at the maple trees, almost shorn of their foliage, at the smoothly cut lawn. IT was a morning serene and cloudless but, instead of the blue sky and golden sunshine, David Bannister saw dark, drizzling fog. He saw a pair of wide set gray eyes in a white, girlish face half-hidden in the depths of a taxlcab; lips that moved tremulously; a small gleaming revolver in the woman's handbag. Good God, no it couldn't be! That girl was no murderess. She looked more as though someone had tried to murder her. Frightened Fright-ened within an Inch of her life, he had decided, seeing her clearly for that moment just before she disappeared into the hotel. There was a point, too! Would any woman who bad Just killed a man walk calmly into the largest hotel in town? She might as well have called at police headquarters and said "Arrest me!" But there was the headline "Unknown Blond Is Sought By Po- Uce He couia not shake the wor(jg from his mind. She was blond. She had come out of the Shelby Arms some time after nine o'clock.

"No, I should think you weren't listening! I asked if that was Harvey Knowleton who Just went past. Was it?" Bannister grinned. "Aunt Kate, I haven't the faintest idea who Harvey Knowleton is- or what "he looks like." "Oh, that's right. The woman wa3 mollified.

"Look." she said, "here's a picture of Denise Lang. And here's an other of her with Tracy Kins Bannister crossed the room and inspected the photographs. The face of the pretty, fair-haired girl who smiled up at him was one he had never seen before. The picture taken with King was a news photograph, pho-tograph, showing the couple as they; sat watching a tennis match. There was another photograph of King, probably made for theatrical use. It showed him as a slender, dark-haired and rather handsome youth. "He was real good looking, wasn't be?" Kate Hewlett conceded. conced-ed. '1 suppose that's why Denise Lang wanted to marry him" Bannister picked up the newspaper. news-paper. There was more of the account ac-count of the Tracy King murder but the rest was made up of rather inconsequential details. An attempt at-tempt was underway to trace fingerprints. fin-gerprints. Police Chief Henley had given out a statement. There were interviews with Link, the hotel clerk, and with a switchboard operator. op-erator. There was a review of King's career as a musician. Bannister read it all through hastily, has-tily, then tossed the newspaper aside. His aunt bad begun stacking stack-ing up the breakfast dishes, getting ready to take them to the kitchen. "Think I'll take a walk down town," Bannister said casually. "It's a fine morning " "It's all of two miles down to Broad street," his aunt warned. "Exercise will do me good," he told her. TY 11 o'clock that morning David L' Bannister was still wrestling with his problem. The walk down town had in no wise eased his mind. He could, of course, stroll over to Central headquarters and i say to Captain McNeal. "I think 1 can Identify your unknown blond murderess. I think 1 saw the weapon she used and helped her escape. I think 1 know the time ! of the murder " He could tell McNeal the story and he was certain that, as an aggressive, ag-gressive, thoroughgoing police official, of-ficial, the captain would pounce upon it as first-hand testimony. Bannister could say. "I left her at the Tremont some time before 10 o'clock" Only he couldn'L He remembered remem-bered that look in the girl s eyes and knew he couldn't do that. He didn't even know her name but he couldn't believe that she had killed a man. ? Years of newspaper experience reminded him, "The hardest ones always look the softest." Even then he couldu't do 1L The devil of it was that the problem was getting on his nerves! He wanted to forget the whole thing buhe couldn't do that either. "Damn!" Bannister swore vehemently ve-hemently and decided to buy a New York newspaper. He'd find something to read that wasn't plastered plas-tered all over with details of Tre-mont's Tre-mont's latest crime. There was only one place in the city to buy a New York newspaper the news counter in the Tremont Bannister went there, threw down a coin and picked up the newspaper. news-paper. He hesitated, then started toward to-ward the writing room. He had to cross a short passageway that was rather dimly lighted. Bannister Bannis-ter took a dozen steps forward and then stopped.
