"I'm going to tell you something,"
tie said ominously. "I m going to I

lived, who your friends were, who
wrote to you, and to whom yon, wrote.
I'm going to put your life under a
microscope and, when I do that, I
THINK I'm going to uncover some
thing that will point to an affair of
some sort between you and tb dead

Millicent felt as though her heart
had become a chunk of lead. She knew
this very capable detective wouldn't

order to give her A fictitious back
ground to account for her past his
tory. She knew this detective would
make a inicroscn)ic invest igatfoi and
thnt, within n day or two, at the most,
he would be nble to pierce the secret
of her past, but she tried to smite a
him bravely and said, "I will give yen
my word of honor, Sergeant, thnt I
never snw, heard from, or knew Har
ry F elding until the afternoon of the
day prior to his murder."
"But you went to his room for
something," Sergeant Mahoney said.
She clamped her lips together and
said, "I'm sorry I made thnt state
ment. I had resolved that I wouldn't
tell you anything. However, I wanted
to save you a lot of work."
"Don't bother nbout saving me
work," he said. "I like it."
His eyes surveyed her in analytical
appraisal. Abruptly he got to his feet.
"I've got some trumps in my hand,"
he told her, "but you've got just
enough cards of your own so that I
can't tnke all the trick if I play mine
now. I'm warning you that I'm going
out and get some more trumps."
"Go ahead." she told his defientlq.
Sergeant Mahoney nodded to De
tective Buchanan. Together, the two
men started for the door.
With his Kind on the door knob,
Sergeant Mahoney paused, frowned at
her, and asked quickly. "If you went
in there after he had been murdered
and weren't a party to the murder,
why didn't you give the alarm
She smiled, but said nothing.
Sergeant Mahoney jerked the door
open,
"Come on, Buchi nnn," he said.
As the door closed behind them,
Millicent felt almost hysterical. She
wished that she had a drink ol that
whisky.
Thinking of the whisky made her
think of the manner in which Buch
anan had written down the name of
the brand on a piece of paper and
passed it across to Mnhoney. She
remembered Sergeant Mahoney bnd
placed thnt piece of pnper down beside
the gun. She looked across to the
table on which the gun had reposed
