MILLICENT GRAVES, sec
retary to GEORGE DRIM
GOLD, finds her employer in
his office dead. JARIS HAPP,
a stranger, offers to help her.
He sends her to a beauty
shop where she is transform
ed into a brunet, then takes
her home, introducing her as
his secretary. She meets
Happ’s son, NORMAN; his
stepson, ROBERT CAISE;
MRS. HAPP; and VERA DU
CHENE, Mrs. Happ's maid.
That night a note under her
door informs Millicent, “The
woman in black ermine is
here.” Millicent sees the wo
man, tries to follow, but loses
her. Millicent goes to the
chauffeur’s quarters. The
chauffeur is dead from a bul
let wound, ¢
Next morning SERGEANT
MAHONEY takes charge of
the case. He questions Milli
cent.
Over the telephone Mrs, Happ
learns that her 'husband has
tbeen kidnapped. She is told
she must not inform the police,
Norman begs Millicent to tell
him what she knows of the
whole affair.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
i CHAPTER XXX
Millicent piloted Norman Happ
down the corridor to her room,
elosed and locked the door. She
turned, to face him, wondering
where she should begin, and as she
stared into his eves knew that it
was going to be increasingly diffi
cult to go through with the plan
she had decided on.
She realized that she valued the
good opinion of this man very
much, and she realized also that it
was almost impossible for her to
make an explanation which would
be credible, The words of Robert
Caise rang in her mind. She could
explain away the facts connected
with one murdeér, but how could
she explain awy facts connected
with two?
Norman Happ saw something of
what was going on in her mind.
1g it going to be hard to tell?” he
asked.
And, with his question, she real
ized suddenly that she was going
to tell him everything, that she was
in such a hurry to know his reac
tions that she could hardly wait
for the words to formulate them
selves,
-#L am the girl the police are
looking for for the Drimgold mur
d.r."
For a moment the full signifi
cance of her statement didn't dawn
on him. Then, as he grasped what
she was telling him, his eyes show.
ed incredulity.
“You can't be,” he told her. “The
newspapers described her. She's |
blond. She's . ~ .* ]
. ¥"No, no,” she said. “I am thel

brunet instead of a blond. I tell
you I'm the girl. I worked for
George Drimgold and . . .’
- Her voice trailed away into silen
ce. It was going to be harder than
she thought.
-It took a moment for Norman
Happ's mind to adjust itself to the
situation, just as it had taken a
moment to appreciate the signifi
cance of what she was telling him,
- Millicent saw his jaw set, saw
his eyes take on a look of grim
determination, For a moment it
seemed as though her life force was
o ling inside or her like mer_
cur dropping in a tube on a very
eold night. Then, with the sound
of his voice, she felt a surge of
happiness. He said doggedly, “I
don’t care what the facts are.
wwver you did, you had soine
reason for doing it. I'm going tol
gtand back of you."
" Mhat made it wonderfully easy.
She poured forth her story in quick
digjoifited sentences, not sparing
herself for what she called her
stupldity in running away from
the scene of the crime. Then she
went on, telling him exactly what
had happened that night when she
had gone to the garage, taken Bob
Calge’s car and gone for the wild
ride which terminated when she
ran out of gas,
"When she had finished Norman
Happ moved nearer. He said, “You
poor kid!”
Before she realized what had
‘happéned his arms were around
her and she was sobbing on his
thoulder, sobs which seemed to
drain worry and mental anguish
from” her system.
His hand patied her shoulder,
&cheflk was against her halir.
& could feel the roughness of his
coat sleeve where it cirecled the
back of her neck.
Yet he made no attempt to hold
her in a closer embrace. It was as

though he realized the necessity
for her. to relax completely, to feel
that someone understood all her
troubles.
Slowly her sobs ceased. She
drew back so that she could look
up into his face. She smiled at him
with eyes that were dimmed by
toars, but which nevertheless
sparkled with a new-found happi
ress, 2
“Poor kid,” he said again, and
patted her shoulder. “You’ve had
a tough time”
4] guess,” she said, “it was more
of a strain than I realized. I don't
usually make a cry-baby of my
self.”
She could see his resentment of
this criticism of herself. He said
impatiently, “You're not a cry-baby
and you're not to call your-self one.
You've been through things few
girls could have encured. You've
been able to do it because you're
such a clean, sweet, square-shoot
ing kid.” .
For a moment she saw the gleam
of affection in hig eves. She found
herself hoping he was going to take
her in his arms again. But instead
there came over his face a look of
grim determinattion.
“Look here,” he said, “we have
to beat everyone to it.”
““What do you mean?”’
"I mean we have' to solve both
of these murders before the police
find out about you.” /
“Oh, but they've already found
out about me-—or they will.”
" “What makes you say that?”
“Bob Caise knows.”
She saw swift jealousy on his
faee and made haste to interrupt
his thoughts.
“ ¥No,c no, 1 didn't tell him. 1
haven't admitted it even yet, but‘
he knows, He was suspicious of)
me from the first. He wondered
why your father brought me here]
and I think in some way he knew
that your father was interested in
the Drimgold murder. I don't‘
know whether he knew about your
father -being in the building when‘
the murder was committed or not.
At any rate he was suspicious and
he took a photograph that had
been published in a newspaper
and darkened the hair. The re
sult looked enough like me to con
vinee -him that I'm the girl they're
looking for.”™
“If he tells the police I'll Kkill
him,"” - Norman Happ said.
“l think he's already told them.
He and -Vera Ducheng are work
ing together. Theyv wanted me to
swear -to something that was
false.” s+
“What ?" ‘
“They 'wanted me to give Vera
Duchene an alibi.” \
“Then she's the one who mur
dered ' Felding,” he exclaimed.
“No;-1I-don’t think she is. She
fits into the picture some way, but
I don’t know just where. I have
an idea ‘Bob may think that she
wis the -one:who murdered Feld
ing. ‘You see, Imy fingerprints
were on that- whisky flask. Detec
tive Buchanar locked up the whis
ky flask <in - your father’s study
and reported to Sergeant Maho
ney. Bob Caise thought the fin
gerprints must be those of Vera
Duchene, so he slipped into the
study and smashed the flask.”
Norman- Happ's eyes narrowed.
“We've got to get to the W®ottom
of this. thing;,” he said, “and the
only way we can do ‘it is by find
ing out where Bob and Vera fit
into the -picture. Somecne mur
dered . Drimgold. = Someone mur
dered ‘Harry ¥elding. We have to
find out who that someone was.”
“You. :speak,” :she said, “as
though it might be the same per
aons” .. " ‘ .
He blinked his eyes thoughtful
iy and nodded slowly.
“It isn't at all impossible,” he
observed. “On the other hand we
mustn’t make the mistake of
‘jumping at conclusions before we
ihave enough facts to warraht
them."” '
They were silent for a moment.
Then Norman Happ went on with
slow delbieration. *“The man was
dead when you entered the
room?”
“Yes.”
“You're certain?"”
“Yes. I felt his wrist.”
¥And pou went to the bathroom
and got a drink out of his whis
ky flask?” ;
I‘Y”'II
“How much whisky was there
in the flask?" ~ 5
“I don’t know. It was a little
over half full, I guess.”
She could see that he was driv
g toward some point, but couldn’t
anticipate what It was.
“Do you remember the brand of
whisky?” he asked,
“Why, yes,” she said. “That
was one of the things Detective
Buchanan and Sergeant Mahoney
were talking about. They said it
was rather expensive and that it
was a rather peculiar type of
whisky for a chauffeur to be
drinking.” .
“What was the brand?” he ask
ed her.
“Buchanan wrote it on a piece
of paper and handed it to Ser
geant Mahoney. I have the paper
here in the drawer.” ~ ;
She opened the drawer and
handed him the folded piece of
paper. He unfolded it and stared
thoughtfully at it for a few mo
ments.
“Do you know what time it was
when you got back?”” he asked.
“No. I'm not certain. It wasn't
very long before daylight.”
“And the books Dad gaye you
in the suitcase were stolen while
you were gone?”, i
“Yes. You see” she said, “when
‘that typewritten rhessage - was
slipped under my door I. thought
you were the one who_had written
it. You see. we'd been -talking
k’ ' this woman in the black
’ermhie coat, and . . {”
He thrust the folded paper in
his pocket. ¢
. “Come on,” he said. “You and 1
are going out and hunt clews.”
“What do you mean?”’.
“Just what 1 said. We're going
to hunt clews.”
“But what clews are we going
to hunt?” ;
“We're going to find out about
that woman in the black ermine
coat. We're going to find out
about the car of which you have
the license number. But first we're
going to find out about that whis
ky.”
“What about it?” she asked.
“Simply this: Harry Felding was
at one time a heavy drinker.
When he made up his mind he
was going to cut out booze entire
ly. He had never took a drink all
the time he was working for Dad.
What’s more, he never allowed
any whisky in his place.”
“If that's the case how did it
heppen "that . .. .7
Millicest’s- voice ceased as she
suddenly became aware of the full
import of what she was trying to
say.
“Exactly,” Norman Happ said.
“That whisky was brought into
his place after he left, doubtless
by the person who ¢ommitted the
murder, It's an unusual brand.
The probabilities are it was pur
chased somewhere in the neigh
horhood. We're going to find out
who purchased it.” ¥

seized the snake, took it to a block
and cut its head ~off, gave it a
good shaking, - and every one of
the eggs were recovered. She took
the eggs, washed them off, put
them back under the hen, and
every one of them produced a
chicken next day on schedule
time. . . . Now you tell - one.

The latest proposal for ending

never heard of the word Dbefore.
which is nothing new, but accord
ing <to ' Representative John H.
Hoeppel of California, it means “tax
the machines according to the
workers displaced.” With all the
labor saving devices this seems to
be a pretty good idea,
It is always a task to read the
menu in one of these ritzy hotels

‘A ritzy London hotel had the fol- |
lowing words on its menu the other‘
day: “Consomme -de Kangarou au
madere.” After the customers
went into tantrums and tore their
hair over the meaning of the words
the chef was called in and he in
formed them that it was nothing
more than French for Kangaroo
tail soup. So now when you take

member not to fling a fit when the
