Cilly felt certain that it Cottldtt't-- yet Jim was on " way to Utah this very minute. Her head spun with the ertytuiaereasitur questions which popped into her mind. Nothing Would Escape Him Sergeant Dolan was back in the living room. He looked at the desk. "Any ot Miss Kerr's material in here?" he asked, tapping it with his pencil, But fortunately Dolan looked no further in the bedroom. He put the timetable in his inner coat pocket. Cilly knew he would get in touch with the police at Biuetields. Utah. He would check up with them just as he planned to check at interlak- en, New Hampshire. What we ‘rl Dolan say it he found it under her pillow? He then would know that she had dellber- ately hidden it. “She never said anything to me about Utah," she answered. That was the truth. Amy never had mentioned it. But the clipping was from a Bluetields paper. And Jim‘s postcard. so perilously close. Cllly's eyes widened. Her quieltetted, but she made a d ate effort to appear casual. "Hollywood. eh? Well, that may be . . . No'. Here's some place she has checked on. Blueflelds. Blue. nelds. Utah. Ever her her mention that?" She wasn't really sure that' the Southern Pacific went to Utah. “Southern Pacific," Gilly was thinking. 'Why. that goes to . . " With elaborate carelessness. she said: "Not that I know ot.

W- laid the amply bag on the bureau and looked more closely at tho timetable. Cilly looked at it too. a little fearfully.

Yet even as the words left her lips. she remembered the sud. den light that had dawned in the eyes of Amy Kerr when she met Jim . . . "So that's it.'" Sergeant Dolan went on brutally. "Mr. Kerrigan was up on the roof with the young lady, Now the question is, what were they doing up there? Was it a friendly visit - or did they have a quarrel? Doegn't look so good does it, Miss Pierce 'r' Cllly did not answer. "You're quite sure." Sergeant Dolan asked, "that last night was the first time Kerrigan and Miss Kerr met? Sure they didn't know each other belore?" "It would seem so," Cilly admit- ted, woakly. She sat down in a big chair. Her legs refused to support her any longer. She was frighten- ed - wildly frightened. "It wasn't Hutchins because this is his writing here. So it must have been the other young man. Your friend Kerrigan. isn't that so. Miss Pierce?" "Who wrote It?" Sergeant Dolan repeated. He looked at the scorepad again, as Gilly hesitated. "It wasn't Hutchins because this: Then she saw that it was noth- ing so casual to Sergeant Dolan. He frowned darkly " he read it. He' looked " Cilly sharply as he held the note out to her. "Who wrote this?" he demanded. Cllly read it. As she did so. the color left her face. She felt as it she had been struck a surprising blow. Her knees trembled. A sud- den nausee overcame her. The has- tily scribbled words on the paper said: "Meet me up on the root " ter we break up here." And they had definitely. undeniably been written by Jim Kerrlgan. It was Just a scrap ot paper torn from the score-pad. Probably the top sheet with some old scores on it, Cllly thought, which they had neglected to remove. "She did, eh? What's this little note.'
