Just there I stiffened suddenly.
Two soft but imperative raps had
sgunded at the door,
1 slipped quietly off the begd
opened the door a erack. All my
vague imaginations, I guess, had
me jittery,
Sally Cravath stood there, in
something dark-blue and clingy.
“Open it wider, you dope,” she
whispered. “What do you think I
am, an eel?”
I obeyed mechanically with, I
presume, my mouth open.
Sally said, smiling faintly: Jim.
please s ’)p ogling me, And try and
keep the wolflight out of your
| eyes. I had to come for—for help.”
1 dropped the offensive eyes.
' “1 should think,” 1 said, “that
any girl belonging to a plush es
stablishment like this could afford
a pair of mules.”
Sally extended a bare foot. She
blinked, as if surprised to find
that she owned it. “Oh, I must
have kicked them off in Uncle
Marney’s room. And forgot them
when [ well, flounced out?”
“You’ve been flouncing?” I said
politely.
& * *
She perched on the bed, drew
her knees up, rested a small
chin between them. Don't be so
humorous. But I think you'd call
it that. Anyway, I left that stub
born obstinate, pigheaded charac
ter in a hurry.”
I saw then that she was indeed
agitated. There was a trace of a
flush beneath the tan-andcoral of
her cheeks and her voice shook
slightly
“Take it easy,” I said.
“Look,® Jim,” she said, “I’ve
been in there begging him to go
to the police. It's obvious to me—
and I know darn well to you too—
that we should have called them
hours ago. Will you please tell me
what he’s waiting for after this
thing happening to Dolly? A big
ger and better murder maybe?”
We haven't established one
murder yet.” i g
“Oh, nuts. Let’s not kid our
selves. Ames was killed and Dolly
half-killed. And before that some
one tried to get Uncle Marney.”
She looked at me steadily, shad
ows in her big gray eyes. “And
any body who thinks the whole
thing is just a series of conci
dences ought to have his head
read.”
Personally, I agreed with her.
And I began wondering, a touch
disturbedly, about Marston Cra
vath. Up to a certain point, pro
tecting the family escutcheon
against notoriety was laudable.
But beyond that point it became
plain stupidity. Unless . . . unless
Cravath had a more cogent reason
for keeping the law out of this.
“How,” I inquired, “was it left
with your uncle?”
Sally’s lips thinned to a firm
red line. “I issued an ultimatum.
I've given him tonight to think it
over. Then, if he doesn’t come to
his senses, I'm calling the police
myself.”
“What did he say?”
“What didn’'t he say!” She gave
me a wry smile. “And he said it
all with his top blown. He bawled
me out for 10 minutes straight and
never stopped for breath.”
“Listen,” I said, “you picked a
bad night for ultimatums, that’s
all. Your uncle’s upset and I don’t
blame hiim. It was pretty rugged
out there, with Mrs. Dumont.”
“Oh!” her voice heardened. “My
uncle’s upset, is' he? Well, what
about Ames . ... and Dolly? Him
self too, for that matter?”
“Okay,” I said soothingly. “But
where do I come in?”
She hugged her knees. “I'd like

I arose then, stood facing her.
There was, between us, about
two feet of floor space. “Okay.
It'll probably cost me my job, but
I'll make your uncel a few police
suggestions.”
Sally let a moment pass . Then
quite softly. “Did anybody ever
tell you, Jim Orth, that you're a
very nice guy?”
“Forget it,” I said, catching hold
of myself. “And go to bhed.”
He face, a kind of lovely mask
wag tilted toward me. Her lips
were red, slightly parted. I lost
hold. I burned up that two feet
of floor space. Then, blue flowing
things and all, she was in my arms.
For a moment, operations in the
universe weare suspended.
An awfully short moment,
though. She pushed me away,
gently. The slap she gave my
forearm wasn't so gentle. It
smarted.
“Now you,” she said, “forget
that!” And she was gone.

Senators Taft and Russell and
Governor Adlai Stevenson have
also been invited to attend and it
is hoped that General Eisenhower

“President Truman’s decision
not to run leaves the field for De

Mrs. Lee said. “We anticpate that
other new candidates will be in
