which Miriam had withdrawn
from the bank to give him.
..Next morning Police Lt Tal
ent arrives at the Sterling house
hold. Mrs. Sterling has been found
murdered in bed.r The wall safe
in her room has been ramsacked
and everything points to rebbery.
Talent discovers Miriam’s check
book, with a stub dated the pre
vious day made. out to SIO,OOO
cash. The maid, Stella Nelson,
tells him Mrs. Sterling always
kept her diamond necklace in the
safe.
At the club, Sterling excuses
himself from an early golf date.
He has to get rid of Miriam’s
cash. He asks the desk clerk for
iwo large envelopes, seats him
self at a desk out of sight.
"N
XVII
From the envelope he had tak
en from Miriam’s safe, Sten'ing
extracted the packet of SIOO bills
still held together by the gummed
band. He wrapped it in two of the
club letterheads, using bits of the
gummed tape to hold the ends to
gether. He inserted the new pack
et in the sma¥er of the two plain
envelopes he had obtained at the
desk, sealed the envelope and
zdidng a piece of guinmed tape to
secure the flap.
Across the face of the sealed
envelope, he wrote boldly:
Miss Wilson: Please hold these
papers in your desk for me, I
may not get to the bank before
Monday. M. S.
Sterling held the packet up
against the light. The envelope,
with the help of the double {etter
head wrapping,, was totally
opaque. Using a block printing
stvle instead of his natural bold
script, Sterling inscribed the larg
er envelope to his secretary, Miss
Isabel Wilson, at the Harbor Trust
Company on downtown Broad-
way. Enclosing the packet in it,
| Sterling sezted the larger envel~
ope, using the remainder of the
gummed tape for reinforcement.
Ster'ing remained seated at the
desk. It wouldn’t do, he thought,
| to go back to young Bob Davis
| too soon for stamps . . not after
accepting that batch of letter
heads. There was still the heavy
envelope of Miriam’s bank . . .
the one which had held the
money . .. to do something about.
He carefully tore out the printed
ear at the upper left corner, the
name CENTRAL NATIONAL
BANK in ba'd capitals, 57th
Street Branch under it in smaller
type He tore it into minute bits.
fl‘he rest of the envelope he tore
into strips and then halved the
strips. He tore up several sheets
of writing paper and added the
scraps to the fragments he had
made of his wife’s envelope, He
waited until 20 minutes went by.
* % *
Bob Davis exhibited anxiety
frankly when Sterling appeared
at the foyer desk.
“Afraid you wouidn’'t make it
in time for the collection, Mr.
Sterling,” young Davis said.
Sterling handed him the sealed
packet. “How much will it take?”
Davis turned toward the postal
scale. “First dass, I. guess?”
“Yes, first class,” Sterling said.
| He was using that moment to dis- |
card the scraps he held palmed in
one hand into a waste-basket He
suspected the young man’s unex
. pressed surprise at the size of the
packet ~ . . its bulk. He took it
\for granted that Davis would
manage a squint at the printedl
laddress . . . record it mentally.
G'ub and hotel employes, he be
lieved, had some seventh or
eighth sense for that sort of
thing. ‘
“It'l take 21 cents first class,
Mr_ Sterling,” Davis said, frown
ing 2t the scale. “Want it insur
ed?” X
t “No, it's nothing valuable,”
Sterling said everfy. He reached
to recover the packet . . . handed
Davis a half dollar. “Keep the
change, Bob,” he said as he ac
cepted the proffered stamps.
- . -
Crossing the foyer after he had
dropped the envelope into the
mail box, he passed Johnny Greer
. . . chubby, effervescent assistant
club manger, whose daytime post
was behind the fover desk. Ster
ling acknowledged a beaming
greeting, then went direct'y to a
telephone booth. He had Miss
Wilson on the wire with remark
ably little delay.
“I’'m at Edgecraft Country Club
with some prospective bank cus
, tomers,” Sterling told her.
| “Yes, Mr. Sterling.”
“I’'ve just remembered that a
Mr. Davenport may. phone me
BANNER-NERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA.
this morning, It's fairly impirttn \
Miss Wilson, If he calls, e plllg
that I had to be out heré unex
pectedly, and suggest that he call
me out here.” :
“I understand, Mr. Sterling. It's
D-A-V-E-N-P-O-R-T, it is?”
“That’s right. 1 don’t recall the
‘initials.” .
~ “I'll take care of it, Mr, Ster
ling. Anything else?” o
“Well, no . . oh, yes! Just re
membered, not that it's important
I had some file papers with me I
thought I might want to refer tc
but I didn't want to be bothered
with them over the week-end
I've mailed them to you .. . 2
seeled packet you can hold’in
your desk for me, I'll get it from
you Monday.”
‘“Very well, Mr, Sterling.”
Sterling hung up. He stood
grinning at the phone, A Mr. De
venport, There would be no Mr
Davenport calling him at the
bank. Offhand, he coufdn’t recal!
having met any Mr, Davenport
But he had given Stew and Crob
field an excuse for passing up
the first nine holes . . for loiter
ing around the clubhouse. Never
could telll when someone might
ask questions, He glanced at‘his
watch. Just about time to go to
the locker room, get into his geif
shoes, eand walk over to the 10th
tee to keep his appointment with
Shaw and Crabfield. He had a
feeling of having done a good-job
of burning bridges as he stepped
out of the booth. 7

Jackpot” will be worth $20,000

Marilyn Appel’s failure to crack
the secret sentence last Tuesday,
after having had a whole week to
figure it out. Mrs. Appel was
prevented from taking her turn
in offering the solution two
weeks ago as time ran out. Her
husband had been an army cryp=-
tographer during the war, and in
addition, she knew all the clues
for a whole week before return
ing to the show. Her answer was
ingeénious, though wrong. Added
prizes are a spinet piano and
tickets to the world ‘series base
ball games. :
