On Murder's Skirts
By TERRY
"No. At tout I did not e nun
then, I saw nun earlier, at nine-
IU teen, xie kcuicu j
"Wu he the onlv one here?"
"Yes. No. wait a minute. I think
Bill Griittth was here, too. I
did not look." Verek sighed. "What
a tragedy. And he waint uch
u old man. either." He held out
hk hand to Raff. "Qood night,
Dr. RaXferty. We must come to-
Ether aome tkn. It will be pood
talk oX research."
Rail held out nil band and
found he was still clutching the
nail dark object he had picked
up from Hubbard's chair. It was
, pen . tie turned u m uia uu.u.
t hnrw th initials "H.P."
"Ah." said Verek, "you have found
. Penton's pen. He will be most
ppy. He was looking for It this
afternoon."
(Chanter 24)
Penton's pen," Raff mused. "So
this Is Penton's pen. Well, I'm glad
I found It." He looked at Ellen.
TJear. don't you think we'd bet
ter go now?"
Ellen said, "It will Just take a
minute to get Al Vall's address."
She looked at him soberly. "Do
wmi suDoose it was Fenton?"
"I don't know. I'm going to find
out what his pen was doing In a
room to which he claimed he had
Do key," he said grimly.
She copied the address and hand
ed him the slip. In a few minutes
they were on their way.
The house where the Penton's
lived was In the middle of a whole
blockful of Identical two-family
residences, all badly In need of a
coat of paint.
Raff stopped the car and told
Ellen, "I'm going in alone. You
tay here. I'm leaving the keys,
and If I'm not out In fifteen min
uates you go straight to the police
station. Understand?"
She nodded and he kissed her
briefly.
"Be careful," she whispered.
Raff pressed the bell. The house
was dark and quiet. After about
two minutes of silence he rang
gain.
A light became visible some
where in the back of the apart
ment. Presently the porch light
vent on and the curtains on the
door were parted. The door was
opened a crack and a woman's
husky voice asked:
'What Is it? What do you want?
"Sorry to disturb you at this
hour, but I must see Dr. Fenton."
The door opened wide.
"Come in. won't you? Dr. Pen
ton will be here In a minute.
Fenton came into the room, hur
riedly pulled on a bathrobe. He
blinked at the lights in the room.
"This man wants to see you, Har
old." Mrs. Fenton went over to
her husband's side. Despite the
friendliness she displayed toward
him. Raff felt that she was ready
to stand by Fenton. i
He was beginning to experience
ft bad taste in his mouth.
"Why, hello." Fenton was ex
tremely cordial. "You're that young
doctor fellow who was in the office
this morning.
"That's right. My name's Raffer
7." The men shook hands.
"And this Is Mrs. Fenton." Raff
inclined his head In acknowledge
ment. "And now, young fellow, what
an I do for you?"
"Dr. Fenton, Is this your pen?"
"Yes. Yes, It Is. Well, thank you
for finding It."
"I found It In Dr. Hubbard's of
fice tonight," Raff said quietly.
A change came over Penton's
face Instantly. It was difficult to
realize he had been smiling only
a moment before. Now there was
only fright.
"Why do you tell me this?" Pen
ton whispered.
"Dr. Fenton.' Raff said not un
kindly, "there's something I'd like
to talk to you about." He hesi
tated, and then added. "There's no
need to keep Mrs. Fenton up at
this hour with our talk."
Mrs. Fenton made a move as If
to go, but her husband put hts
arm out to stop her. "I'd rather
you stayed. he said In a broken
voice, "it's all right."
"May I ask whv vou've enme
here at this hour? Certainly not
to return my pen." Indignation
filled Penton's voice.
"You're right. It wasn't lust to
return your pen. I want to know
What you were doing in Hubbard's
private office the office to which
you told Miss Carter you had no
"I can't see. young man. where
Ml-

ADLER
It is any concern of yours." There
was a slight note of belligerency
in Penton's voice.
"All right, I'll tell you what con
cern it Is of mine. Dr. Bray called
me last night. He told me he had
some information that Hubbard's
death was not. shall we say, due
to natural causes. I was to be at
his office at nine o'clock this morn
ing and he would turn the Informa
tion over to me. Apparently he had
reasons of his own for not want
ing to communicate with the police."
"But this is well, confusing Is
the word. Is It possible that Pro
fessor Bray's mlna was deteriorat
ing and that this ultimately led
to the poor man to suicide.?"
"I think that Is what the mur
derer wanted us to believe."
"The murderer! Then you do think
that Professor Hubbard was" He
oldn't finish the sentence.
"Yes. Dr. Fenton, Hubbard was
murdered by a very clever meth
od. It was only at the autopsy
that we discovered it."
"But, upon my soul, I don't un
derstand Bray's desperate deed."
He seemed rather unconcerned
over Hubbard's murder.
"It's easier to understand If you
realize that Bray was murdered,
too," Raff said softly.
"You mean it wasn't suicide?"
Fenton said hoarsely.
"It was not suicide. We have
definitely established thai.
"The poor man the poor, poor
man." Fenton shook his head slow
ly from side to side. Suddenly he
looked up at Raff. His lips began
to tremble. "Why, then, you've
come here you suspect you think
I killed them." He turned to his
wife. "Martha, he thinks that I
killed two men.
"Dr. Rafferty, Just what makes
ou suspect my husband?" Mrs.
Penton's voice was still calm.
"We have reason to believe that
the culprit had managed to obtain
a key to Hubbard's office. I'm
afraid I'll have to know Just why
Dr. Fenton obtained one."
Martha Fenton looked hard at
Raff, then turned to her husband.
"Harold, tell him about the letter,"
she said.
