"SALADA SYNOPSIS Chapter X1V: Donlevy calls on McCale and trades Information with him, McCale is convinced that there had been an affair between Shari Lynn and Vallain- court--that they may have been man and wife at one time, CHAPTER Sv "To get on with it, the Garboish Karen is quite another ticket, As masklike and cold as the Snow Queen.

She flew in "with a book under hei arm, Had been browsing around the Public Library--walked home." McCale pursed his lips. * I im- aginet she screamed once, made an long hooker of whisky on it." "You- are-very--adroit.l__ "I've an unusual miid, | 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 atrive. She was strangely excited, 1: thought. She'd been doing some~last' minute shopping, saw it was getting late and got a cab at the corner of Boylston and Tremont." He hesitated. * . . . she said." He let his last two. words hang in the air. ; * * * "She is the obvious suspect, of course, Bart.

EB ~ "Hardly: coincidence." McCale shrugged: the weapon?" "Stic. must have thrown it away." "Then the area in" which search' for if: is small: A woman cannot throw too far." "1 know that" A thwarted look came over; Donlevy's 'craggy. face. "We've had. a. special squad. lunt- ing it for three hours.

I have my duty to do, you know." "I'd find the weapon first." "Oly, sure, sure.

You don't think the girl in green was the Veronica dame, then?" "Maybe." There was a silence for a minute, then Rocky said, "They have not found: the rod." "No." McCale's cyes 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 gat to the cannon on the hill?" "Yes." ; - "Well, chief," he jumped up, "you've been waiting to sce if I'd think of it." Of course 1 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 _ "No soap, rapid time at the Common entrance. It was late and. any police who had been searching for the gun were gone.' ; In silence, they climbed' the rise of ground where the old World War cannon stood, It was Rocky wha. pushed his longer arm into its barrel, groping, grunting. He with- drew it finally, growling his dis- appointment. . Duke," he said. "I touched bottom. Nothing there but a handful of leaves." McCale was puzzled. "Leaves, at the bogtom of that shaft? Non- sense, Let's: see." He snapped the Dutton of his flashiignt. In the round yellow circle of light, he examined the "leaves" Rocky held in his hand. An_excla- mation of surprise escaped his lips. The handful of "leaves, tangled; wet, was obviously a woman's red: haired wig, "Well, I'll. be--"" said. Rocky. * «= "The Baysreuth had once: quarter- ed: the creme de la creme of hotel dwellers. But - it didn't any more; though. Now it was just. a little. tarnished and, tired-looking. In suite 802, it.was very hot and very quiet, Heayy draperies were pulled fogether across the win- dows. Shari Lynn was noticeably done in. She lolled. on the divan in' an almost unnatural attitude. McCale thought for a fleeting. 'moment that ; her. feet. she had passed out or was dead. "Oh," she said, "it's you." "The door was ajar," he offered, and knew that instant-that she had been expecting; a visitor. She swung herself off: the divan abruptly. at that: and; staggered, to: She. looked at. him, her eyes snaky and, vicious. : "Get out of -here-before I call.the desk and have you thrown out. I've got nothing more to say to you-- or your friend, the dieutenant, , either," * * "So the 'cops have got to you als © ready," he smiled: She 'pivoted slowly, and there was uneasiness under lier bravado, "Listen, mister. Just what is it . you: want with me?" "I only want to ask you a ques- i 'tion or two and' give you some ad- i vee "Look here," he said, "I know it was you who ran away from the Vallain¢onrt "murder.

"You know: a.lot," she said sul- . lenly, "bit you can't prove it" "I'm/ém /my way. to." "Oh, yeall?

(To Be Continued) "It's Worth While To Encourage Musical Talent The baseball clubs have sent their men down South to practise for the forthcoming season; and there has been the usual talk about big salaries and holdout players who are not satisfied with the pal- try $15,000 or $20,000 offered them, There are always a few 'crack play- ers. who run to $50,000 or so, and the sensation of the year is the $75,000 said to have been granted to 'Hank "Greenberg to play for Pittsburgh after the Detroit Tigers got the idea that he was getting too old to be worth his place in the team w 0" * ~_-But if father and mother want Junior- wy in the big money when he g 4 up, they might tell him' to a that baseball bat and go to his music..lessons;, says the Stratford Beacon - Herald, Apart from a few exceptional fortunates like Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney and Joe Louis, there are no mén in any branch. of sport or industry who can earn the fees and royalties of a top-notch pianist. or violinist. And even greater crowds attend concerts than attend the major league baseball games. * * * Arthur Rubenstein is one of the great" pianists, although not re- garded as the greatest. But when he played the piano ,music for a film in Hollywood recently, which another artist will apparently go through the motions of doing, he received the same for an hour's en- joyable work that Greenberg will get for playing in-about 150 games of ball. Rubenstein also: gives about 70 to 75.recitals a year, and makes well over $500,000 in fees. On top of that he receves an immense sum in - gramophone royalties. [t may take him five to fifty minutes to 'make a record, or a set of records, and he will draw royalties on them for years. The same might be said of a number of "other musicians." Marian Anderson, Negro singer, last year drew $650,000 for 65 con- certs--and again there are the gramophone royalties. rr * * As regards crowds, the Briggs Stadium' in Detroit had 1,750,000 patrons during the last baseball season. -But the number of people' who attended musical entertain- ments of the better calibre in. the Masonic. Temple, the Music Hall and one or two other places was over 2,000,000, If your son or daughter has musical talent, it miglit be worth "while to encourage it. How Canl? By Anne Ashley Q.
