Mooney thought it best to place a charge of murder against her when she was found and hold her in Grafton. "Look here," growled O'Day when he arrived at the police station; "the next time you run across somebogy 4we're looking for, you let us know." "What do you mean?" 'We've found the Maynard wo- man, She says you were with her last night. 'Why didn't you tell us?" "I was going to bring her down here tonight, Lieutenant, I give you my word. | wafited to talk to her alone and see what she was like. She didn't do it, Lieutenant." "She didn't, eh? Well, I'm not so sure. Come on upstairs. We'll need you when we talk to her." Olga Maynard was white-faced without her rouge. Her eyes, shift- ing restlessly, wore a hunted look. She flared at Jimmy when he came in with O'Day. "You 'told them!" she accused. "You said you were coming. You told them to get me." "He did not," O'Day declared. "He just got a plece of my mind for not telling. We were looking for you, sister, and we've got you." ' He produced a telegram. "This is from Mooney," he said to Jimmy. He turned to the woman. "Here's { proof that you were in Grafton the day Henry Rand was murdered. How about it?" "I've never denied it. Sure I was there--looking "for « job, Why should I lie? But I don't know a thing about the murder." "You're lying!" O'Day shot back at her. Gs "I'm not. It's the truth---I swear it is. I went to the theatre that night on Fogarty's ticket--I ad- mit it. And the next night--Tues- day--I took the sleeper for Grafton. I got there In the morning and spent the 'day looking for work. I'm cabaret singer and J've had some hard luck here. I ed to find a cabaret or theatrical job in Graf- ton," "Mooney said you had interviewed a couple of cabaret proprietors," ad- mitted O'Day, indicating the (ele- gram. "All right, what did you do next?" : "That's all. I didn't get any- where. so 1. took the train Wednes- day night back to Chicago." "You aidn't stay all night in Graf- ton--didn't register at any hotel?" O'Day asked. "No, 1 didn't go mear any hotel." "You're not tellin' the truth. You were in the Canfield Hotel while you were in Grafton. We know yom were." "All right, I say I wasn't. I never even saw the Canfield Hotel." "Then bow did that ticket stub get in the room? You admit you used the stub, You admit you were in Grafton the day of the murder. Yet you fay you never saw the hotel--and the stub was found in the room with Rand." LLOW STUB] GREAT NEW MYSTERY SERIAL By Ernest" Lynn "1 can't explain it. Maybe some- | her ¥ have to do better than that, sister. We're dealing in facts--got fairy stories. How do you aeccbunt for this? Before you left for Grafton you were iiving in a cheap rooming house. You're out ofa job and broke. You go to Grafton and come back to Chicago and move into a pretty nice apartment. Where did you get the money?" "I didn't get any money. I got back here Thursday mornidg and started looking for work again. 1 took the first thing I could get---a clothing model's job. On the strength of that I rented an apartment. 1 don't like rooming houses.' "Do you think a jury would be- lieve your story?" scoffed O'Day. "I don't know. Do you believe 1 committed a murder. "It looks like it. Whether you. did or not, your coverin' somebody up. You know who did it. You were in the room when the murder was com- mitted. I believe you even got Henry Rand into that room---didn't you?" "No!" cried Jimmy, leaping from his chair. "I don't believe that, Lieu- tenant. She might be covering somebody up, but--" "Sit down, Rand." O'Day waved him aside. "Didn't you?" he con- tinued, turning to Olga Maynard. "No, I didn't, I tell you," she said fiercely, "I never even heard of im." ' "Listen, sister," said O'Day. "I've been trying to place you and it comes to me all of a sudden. Seems to me you were one of those \ who got a ride in the wagon the time we raided the Studio Club. How about it?" She turned away from O'Day's steady look--Dbit her lip. "What of it?" she asked. "Nothing--except it wasn't very nice company. Not for a lady." She flushed hotly, "All right, maybe it wasn't, But you can't hang me for that." "We can come pretty near hang- ing you for something else. Come, now, tell us who was with you in Grafton. Who was this guy H. A. Jones who registered for the room?" "I wasn't with anybody in Graf- ton." "All right, what's the jury going to say when we ghow 'em you were in Grafton the day of the murder and your theatre ticket was found in the room?" She smiled sarcastically. "They wouldn't convict me on circumstan- tial 'evidence, Lieutenant. Pretty thin evidence, at that." O'Day studied her through half shut eyes. "That ain't all," he said 1 softly. "That uin't all. You still say you didn't go near the Canfield Hotel?" "I still say it." "All right. Then how did this get win the room where the murder was committed?" He produced the handkerchief and confronted her with it. "Come om, answer me." She was staring, white- faced, at the handkerchief, speech- less with surprise. "TIt--it I wanted to lie," she said slowly, "I'd say that, wasn't my handkerchief. There's no initial 'or anything on it--" "The perfume is the same as you've got on the one in your hand," O'Day cut in. "Just the same, you couldn't prove it was mine, Lieutgnant. This is a common enough brand of perfume, and so is the handkerchief. But | won't lie, It's my handkerchief. Do you mean to gay they found it in the room with--with--"" "They found it in the room with Henry Rand, yes. The handkerchief and the ticket stub. Now do you admit you were in the room?" "I'm still telling you the truth, Lieutenant," She looked appealing- ly at Jimmy. "I'll .swedr I am, Mr. Rad. I'm telling the truth. No, I was pot in that room. I don't know how the handkerchief got there. But T think I begin to see' a thing or two now. "Listen. Maybe I've been cover- ing somebody up that I didn't intend to cover up, That handkerchief gives me an idea. Lieutenant, I lost that handkerchief Monday night. I had it when I left the Paragon Theatre, but I didn't have it when I went tome, and I didn't have it when I went to Grafton. 7 "Do you see this?"

The next day, as I told you, I missed it, but I didn't try to think what I had done with it, It was just a cheap handkerchief. "I think that when he pulled my handkerchief out of the bag, he also pulled out the ticket stub, and they were both in his pocket when he gave the bag back." "And you think he's the man who left the handkerchief and the stud in the Canfield Hotel?" asked O'Day, "That's the only explanation I can think otf." "All right--who was the man?" (To Be Continued).
