The ringing oi the telephone
halted Nick Thora in tne cornaor,
Re-entering hli office, he took up
the receiver. "Yes?" He spoke
Irritably. Oradually, M he listened,
his manner underwent a change
Ones or twice he nodded in
flrmation of what he was being
told.
"You've got It straight what
you're to do?" the voice at the other
end asked. "We don't want any
mistakes
Rushing out of his office, not
eren bothering to shut the door,
he began to give hurried instruc
tions to several men working in
the chapel. "One of you fetch the
hearse around to the front, then
set that casket out of here, and
step on it. You may still have
time. If not, you know what to
do."
There was no longer any ques.
tlon In Thora's mind. The thing
he had so often feared was an
actuality. This was the pay-on
Back In his office, he began to
gather up various papers and
records. Holding them over the
metal waste paper basket, he put
a match to them, dropping them
only when the flames almost
burned his hand.
The faint sounds of commotion
drifted from the front of the build
lng. Several patrol cars had con
verged on the building from dif
ferent directions, one of them pull
lng up almost at right angles In
front of the hearse to cut off Its
escane
Directly In front of the door, a
taping crowd watched tne aston
lshlng spectacle of a blazing cof
fin. An inferno of leaping tongues
of flames, fed by the embalming
fluid, greeduy licked at tne pol
ished sides of the casket, turning
Its fiery outlines Into a gigantic
orange pyre.
Now. while the police were oc
eupled, would be his opportunity
to get away. The side entrance
would be his best bet.
He swung around at the sound
of the voice behind him.
"Going somewhere, Nick?" it
asked. Nick had never seen Lieu
tenant Fletcher before, but recog
nlzed him Instinctively for what
he was,
"What do you want?" Thora
asked sharply. "I'm in a hurry
You'll have to see me some other
time."
"I'm afraid that'll have to wait.
Nick." Fletcher advanced Into the
room. "You're under arrest, a lit
tle question of murder. I must
caution you that anything you say
may be used against you."
Fletcher slowly drew a set of
handcuffs from his pocket. De
liberately he extended his hand.
"Will you come quietly or wear
these?"
: Thora shrugged. "I'll eome along
'to humor you. You'll see you've
made a very serious mistake."
. "I'll risk It," Fletcher replied,
s he accompanied the other out.
"It was a good try but It didn't
quite work, Nick." He Indicated
the casket. Although badly
scorched, with faint streamers of
emoke still rising from the water
dampened wood, the flames were
out. A city lire department truck
jstood at the curb.
Fletcher pushed Thora Into the
waiting police sedan, and got in
fceslde him.
Derrla pushed open the door at
the Liberty Laundry. Although at
first she could hear nothing, she
had the feeling that she was being
watched. She didn't know quite
what to make of It. The door to
Owens' little office stood ajar, and
hs room was apparently as empty
as the rest of the building. Curi
osity drew her toward it. From
somewhere she heard the loud tick
ing of a clock. She did not hear
the approach of the man who sud
denly stood beside her.
: "Ohl" Derrla drew back. "You
shouldn't sneak up on people like
that. You Just about scared me
to death."
"Looking lor someone, miss?" the
man asked quietly. Something
Vaguely familiar about him eluded
Derrla. Somehow she felt that It
was Important for her to remem
ber. "I'm only trying to find some
one to give this to." She extended
tne laundry slip. "I'd like to ge

"Sorry, It can't be done," he re
plied. "Orders."
"I don't know what you're talk
ing about, but I want my laun-l
dry.' Derrla spoke sharply, be
ginning to feel Irritated. "Let me I
speak to the proprietor," she said,!
attempting to pusn past mm.
"He Isn't here," he answered,
looking at her curiously. "I'm afraid
he won't be back for a long, lonel
time. Say," he leaned forward to
get a better look, "haven't I seen
you somewnere recently? sure.
that s it," he said as memory sud
denly dawned. "You were the girl I
tnal came to see Nick Thora one
day, but you wouldn't wait."
Derrla drew back a step. Recol
lection came flooding over her.
It was the man who had been I
wearing the light gray fedora, the I
one wno naa attempted to ques
tion ner.
"What are you doing here?" she
asked. Mentally, she measured the
distance to the door. As If read-1
lng her thoughts, he moved be
tween her and It.
"I was Just about to ask vou
the same thing. Right now I'm
very Interested in anyone who
knows Chris Harman."
"For your Information." Derrla
answered. "I do not know him.
I don't know what your questions
are leading up to and I hardly see
now iney concern me anyway.
I merely, left some laundrv here.
That Is what one customarily does
In a laundry. Since you refuse to
give it to me, i n nave to leave
without it. Now, If you don't
mind" She started In the dlrec-l
tlon of the door.
Just a moment." The words 1
were an order. "I'll have to askl
you to leave your name and ad
dress."
Can you give me anv good
reason why I should?" She faced!
mm squarely.
Yes. Ever hear of the FBI? I
And in case you're still In doubt,
this Is my Identification."
Derrla looked at what he hedi
in his nand.
"Satisfied?" he asked.
"Yes." she re rilled softlv. "I'm
satisfied. Now what do you want
