(SYNOPSIS: BKUNIIILDE WAG
NER, brilliant star of the Met,
and her husband, BILL WAG
NER, Invite the nation's top mys
tery story writers to their home
after a performance. Abo pres
ent are the Met's conductor, OTTO
FURST, and his former wire,
LILY, Brunhllde's best friend.
There Brunhllde, a devoted detective-story
fan, confides to the
assembled authors that she has
written a mystery story. Then
she shows off her pet canary,
Galli-Curci, which performs a
trick of depositing a slnrle bird
aeed on the lips of each guest.
Otto Furst, upon receiving his
seed from Gall, becomes violent
ly ill and leaves the room.)
Chapter 4
At the conclusion of the per
formance, Brunhllde returned the
canary to Its edge and closed the
door. lencinir it in.
By now the beverage supply had
become depleted .and the guests
were showing signs oi wear, am a
mass exodus was not wnat &run
Wide had in mind. She preferred
to convoy each guest separately.
First to be so escorted was Mr
Rex Stout,
Mlu Helen Traubel. eminent
writer and singer, practices what
ho preaches. "Cherohes. finger
prints," she advises, ''never mind
"Did you notice the French poo
dle?" Brunhllde asked him.
He had.
"Wasn't th&t a cuU necklace?"
It was.
"Her name Is Zlta. She belongs
to a friend of oura who is away
on vacation. We're taking care of
her for him. He has a simply spec
tacular apartment on the next
floor. I want you to see it."
He followed her up a flight of
tairs. Brunhllde had the key
ready. When she opened the door
a wave of shimmering heat en
gulfed them. The singer nudged
Sir. Stout over the threshold. All
the windows were closed, the rndia
tors turned on, and several electric
heaters going full blast. The tem
perature was high enough to wilt
a tropical cactus. Its effect upon
the eminent author was instan
taneous. He closed his eyes and
ipiraled very slowly to the floor
For a moment Brunhllde inspected
me Horizontal ugure, completely
Unconcerned.
Then enme the detonation. Her
laugh echoed and rolled around
the room, the same laugh that had
convulsed radio audiences from
const to const. The seizure finally
subsided, lenving her weak but hnn-
py. Sho sighed, went out. closed
the door, and returned to her own
apartment.
This identical performance was
mounted and staged with only slight
variations lor eacn ot tne novelists
Ellery Queen. Agatha Christie. O
Patrick. John Dickson Cnrr, all of
them wound up, three deep, dead to
the world.
Alone at last with her husband
Brunhllde stretched and relaxed.
It has been a wonderful evening
she said. Nothing in her mnnner
hlnted at what had taken place in
the apartment above.
"What a night." Bill said. "I'm
tired, renllv bushed."
"Nevertheless. I think you ought
to walk Zlta before retiring."
Acting as a valet for a French
poodle is a job lew men relish.
But since It was therapeutically un
avoidable. Bill reached for his hnt
Lace and Embroidery These dain
ty embroidered flowers on gift and
guest room linens are pretty but
the addition of the handmade lace
makes them perfectly beautiful.

with resignation, got a leash on
Zlta. and descended to the street.
Like most dogs. Zlta had con
siderable difficulty reaching a de
cision, n was wnue ne stood pa
tiently on the pavement that Bill
wagner neara uie scream and in
stinctively recognized its source.
Back In the apartment, many
floors above him, Brunhllde, about
to enter the bathroom, was greeted
by a sight that congealed- the blood
in her veins and Impaled her to
the floor, pop-eyed with fright.
Mr. Otto Furst. the famous con
ductor, lay crumpled on the white
wes. quue unmistaKaDiy aeaa.i
About that there was no doubt.
t had not been an easv death and)
his face was twisted like a cruller.
The sight paralyzed every muscle
except those which control articula
tion. How many decibels went Into
Brunhllde's scream no one will ever
know. The mechanical Instruments
that measure sound were not at the
moment available. Backed by some)
twenty years spent in developing
her lungs, larynx, and diaphragm,
and strengthened by countless Wal
kurle war cries it was a most awe
inspiring sound. Honest burghers as
far away as Honoken awakened In I
a coia sweat. Tne sudden and vi
olent agitation of the seismograph
at Pordham University threw two
undergraduate scientists into a
dither of excitement. For the first I
time In operatic hlstorv. a dramatic
soprano hit an F above high C,
turning a coiaratura on staten
Island green with envy. Telephone
calls began pouring in to police
neaaquaricrs.
Zita stopped what she was do
ing ana men suaaeniy went skld
d Ing along the sidewalk as Bill
piungea lor tne Building entrance,
taking off like Citation breaking
the barrier at Belmont.
Despite his shattered nerves the
elevator boy managed to get his car
to the proper floor.
Bill found Brunhllde at the en
trance to the bathroom, her eyes
rigidly fixed on the corpse, her
i ace devoid of color.
"My uod!" Burs voice was at
hoarse whisper. "What happened?"
i i aoni Know." urunniidet
swallowed with considerable diffi
culty. "I just found him here like
tins, is ne dead?"
"Of course he's dead, look at
jinn. ' a
Well don't hist stand there.
Give him an aspirin or something."
They stared at each other blank. I
ly. Bill shook his head, still dazed.
Hia ears were still ringing. Suddenly
his spine grew rigid and his face
grew stiff with shock.
Brunhllde was alarmed. "What
IS It. Bill?"
"The others, those writer rhnrw '
His voice was curiously strained.
wnere are uieyr '
"Thev went home. Whv?"
His fingers gripped her shoulders.
Don't vou see? It was that hfrri-
seed. He came in here right after
ne swanowea it. l
Brunhllde blanched. Her flno

un, no, Bin. it it couldn't be . . ."
I hone not." he muttprfiri fer
vently, thinking of newspaper head
lines:
WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER
BY METROPOLITAN
OPERA STAR
Brunhllde grasped the back of
a chnir for support, steadied her
iips Between ner teeth, and wailed,
"What are we golne to do?"
"We haven't anv choice. We havp I
w can tne ponce."
(This Is a fine kettle of -fish, and
highly Auspicious. Brunhllde has
been acting pretty strangely and
she sure disliked Otto. Now Otto's
dead. Will Hrunhilde be sus
pected? Don't fail to find out
what happened, tn tomorrow's in
stallment of this unusual, soul-
searching story of suspense by a
lany wno really knows how to
sing very well.)
