Thera ka «coantera Shari Lynn. He tella her that Vallalncourt baa be«n shot. CHAPTER XIV "You followed him?" She hesitated a moment, a look "'oT'JoffBt cor.ii-ng over her face, as if she were not sure of saying the right thing. That pause made a lot of difference in McCale's calcula- tions. "He was a long way ahead of me. There was another dame coming 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 â€" that little blue- blood. Killed him. I tell you I •aw her. He's dead. Dead! ' He crossed to her quickly, shak- ing her by the shoulders. "Take it easy. You're in a spot yourself. Whoever it was that met Vallaincourt at that gate had on a green suit or dress." Angrily she brushed his hands from her arras, faced him. "I know that she had on a green •uit. I saw it. But I was a long " way off, I tell you. You're not get- ting me for this jus^^ because I'm weartng this green thing. I wouldn't have killed Curt. God, 1 loved him. I iovrd hWr.'' Mcfale left Shari Lynn slumped on the couch. He knew it was use- less to talk to her any more. She wouldn't be of any help, so lie left the apartment. It was nine-fifteen wnen the buzzer in McCale's outer office announced a late caller. Rocky Bjorkland stirred his huge bulk from the chair by the sputtering fire. He cocked a quizzical eyojrow at McCale. "The clammy hand of my psychic control tells me that is the Law," he grunted. "Our friend, the lieutenant, no doubt." McCale said, reaching auto- matically into a cabinet for a bottle of Scotch and soda siphon which were always part and parcel of every visit by Barton Donlevy. "How are you, Bart?" said Mc- Cale to the man who towered in the doorway. "Ready to take you over the hurdles for sneaking out on me this afternoon." Donlevy's smile belied his growl. * * * Donlevy tlirew liis hat and coat on a nearby chest, and settled him- self comfortably in a big red leather chair facing his host. "I'm not really sore," he began. "I only wondered why you took a powder when you and .\delaide Bigelow were practically the only •ye 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 \"allain- 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 beforeâ€" after your squad has line-toothed a place â€" and there's never been a hairpin left for us fellows." "What exactly did you find from bring first this time?" "Nary a clue. The place was as clean as a bone. Beyond getting a good ^ idea of what the lad who Bved 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 â€" h»»f DeMille, half Dorothy Drap- er. Very Suggestive. Is that all you liave found?" "I found a woman." McCale watched the quick inter- est fhsh across Donlevy's eyes before h« controlled it, before be said casuall\, "I would call that a clue, Duke." "Well?" he questioned. "Shari Lynn, the chanteuse at present of the Latin Quarter and The Abbey." "L'mm â€" I've, heard of her.' McCale went on, then, to tell of his encounter with the night club singer. "You think, then,'' the Heutenant queried, "that there was an old affair between them? Something in your telling it makes me feel you are convinced that it was not too recent â€" something flaring up again after a long time." McCale nodded. "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 â€" 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 Val- laincourt 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." "It was exactly as if the place had been cleaned of everything by the boy himself. Kind of disap- pointing, what?" "There is the possibility of a safe deposit bo-x at sorae 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 niiniile, musing. "It becomes very confusing, then. For he must have got rid of every- thing last night or today. Before" â€" he stared unwinkingly at the rim of his glass â€" "just before he went to his death." Duke McCale paused in front of the big man. Donlevy. The gray- haired 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. "Here it is, then, for what it's worth," he said. "There was, in the Bigelow house at the time of the murder, besides Adelaide 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. N'o motive, no op- portunty. King was fixing a tray of hors d'oeuvrcs for the usual cocktail hour. He's out for the same reason. None of them saw or heard a thing until the prolonged ringing of the bell." » * • ".Vbout five minutes after the cruising car got there, 1 arrived. It was then about twenty minutes since Vallaincourt had been shot. Shortly after that, the family began to wander in and I questioned them in the order of their appear- ance. Sybil and Stephen, the 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 â€" that sort o,f thing." * • * "There's a jangled lad for you," XfcCale 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- laincourt was her own chce-ild to hear her rave." To Be Continued "Chickie"' eight-month-old kangaroo is a pretty lonely little fellow since he lost his mother and Bronx, N.Y., zoo attendants are doing their best to cheer him up. For their first step they placed him inside an old sweat shirt â€" with only the animal's head sticking out- making it feel as warin and soft as the mother's pouch (top-photo)- Then, Jim Coder, the kangaroo's personal attendant, was assigned to give "Chickie" ample saucers of milk (lower photo). At last reports the youngster was coming around to a happy frame of mind again. 4832 SIZES 10- 1* Teen-ager you can sew this your- self!

Spring Fever Nature's own remedy is recom- mended by the medical profession for "Spring Fever.'' The tonic is simply compounded of lots of vege- tables and fruits, plenty of water, and milk, adequate sleep and as much fresh air as one can get. This, say the authorities, is much to be preferred to the old-fashioned Spring tonic of sulphur and mo- lasses. C.N.E. BULLETIN Cupboard Space Makes A Home! Open the cupboard, Hub- bard! That's what happened five or si.x years ago when a housing shortage began to grip Canada. .\nd ever since then, people have cried out for more cupboards as they doubled up with the in-laws and strangers. Manual training classes in Ontario Technical scliools are devising new ways of making mc>re cupboard space in the home as their contrituticn to the Home exhibits at the Cana- dian National Exhibition this year, it is reported. The students are concocting ideas for new- t.tpe i;upboards and experiment- ing with ways of concealing storage space to provide more comfort and tidiness in cramped housing quarters. Kate .\itken, in charge of Home exhibits, says that stu- dents from the manual training classes will be Jolinny-on-the spot at the C.N.E., demonstrat- ing their accomplishments. This means that amateur carpenters may talk over their individual storage problems with the stu- dents and pick up dozens of new ideas for their own homes. No Excuse For Hunting: Accidents With one suggestion made by Ontario hunters to the fish and Game Committee of the Legisla- ture, there is bound to he fairly general agreement, says t!^ Wind- sor Star. From the Kawartha dis- trict comes a recommendation that anyone causing a fatal accident should suffer cancellations of his license for life. If this seems to be a harsh pen- alty, consider the fact that there is not one of these mish„ps in which negligence does not figure to a greater or less extent. There is simply no excuse for shooting a man in mistake for an animal, or for the unintentional discharge of a shotgun or rifle. Anyone guilty of such carelessness is not a fit per- son to carry arms in the woods.

Golden Text.â€" Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding â€" Proverbs 3:5. The national glory and decay of Israel were associated with the glory and decay of one man â€" King Solomon, man of wisdom, trmple builder, consolidator of ihe king- , dom. At the height of his glory decay began to set in. In almost every field in which strength and ciiaracter count one will find innumerable instances where some man who died was really indispensable, and failure and decay ensued because no one arose to take his place. « « « . The sort of strength and charac- ter that Solomon represented in his early career was indispensable to a strong and stable kingdom. The outward glory lasted while Solo- mon lived, but decay began when Israel departed from the principles of his early reign. The way was already laid for the rebellion and division that quickly came in Israel following his death. The story of the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Israel is in- structive and full of guidance and warning for our own times. The opening chapters of the First Youth Training The wise approach to the prob- lem of juvenile delinquency is based on the assumption that boys who get into trouble are boys who have nothing else to do. It Is a wise parent who encourages his sons to put their hands to useful things, comments the Detroit News. He will go to some trouble to provide whatever they need to pursue the instinct of self-expression in the making of things. Countless men, so encouraged in youth, find that skills then acquired become sources of gratification through life, Need- less to say. young builders are not conspicuous for the delinquents in their ranks. Hook of ><â- â€¢->-: 1r:l of bitter enmi- ties and violent deaths perpetrated in feuds, rivalries, and hatreis. It would be a mistake to assume that feuds, rivalries, and hatreds are not found in the modern world. • « • In fact, we have been familiar with "purges" in some countries, but in democracies of the British and American type the reign of law and the function of law in main- taining the freedom of the indivi- dual have become well established. Rival leaders of groups and parties no longer resort to violence and the weapon of assassination. If we can learn from ancient Israel, ancient Israel might have learned some things from us in our progress toward tolerance and free- dom.
