MADE UP TO ZULU
Chapter 38
The Cap
"ROWERS watched her," Jefl
O went on. 'They were alone
on that tide of the stage. He came
up behind her quietly, held one
hand over her mouth and (tabbed
her with the other. He wiped
the knife clean of fingerprint on
Eve's jacket and dropped it beside
her body.
"It was then he had his inspira
tionin the form of Carol's cape.
He tUM it on the banister where
he had dropped it. Everybody
was looking for Carol's murderer.
He would keep it like that
"He threw the cape over Eve,
making it look as if she had been
mistaken for CaroL It worked.
And he was aided by the fact that
nobody had an alibi backstage.
Anyone could have done it Then
he tried to improve on his plan
with the shot through the win
dow. He couldn't stay quiet; he
had to try and make himself
safer."
"But, Jeff," I asked. "It sounds
right but . . . but how were you
going to prove it? It seems to me
that it would all rest on whether
Clint admitted or denied it."
"It did, my dear, it did." Jeff
smiled sheepishly. 'That was the
trouble. There wasn't one single
scrap of evidence or proof con
nected with the whole shebang.
So I had to think up a way to
force Clint's hand by showing him
that I knew he had killed Eve
North. Of course, my way wasn't
nearly so effective, nor so dra
matic, as yours."
"As mine? What do you mean?"
"You went to the theater, got
yourself alone on a dark stage
with him, dropped a nice juicy
hint that you knew he was the
murderer, then let him chase you
around the theatre and damn near
kill you, so that I could bring
friend Peterson and his boys in
to make an easy, clean-cut ar
rest." "Is that what I did? Boyl Am
. f the Smarty-Pants! But what
were you going to do, Jeff? Let
bunt cnase you7
Stage Party
THAT Idea never occurred to
me. No, I had arranged a little
social gathering. I asked Alice
McDonald and Phoebe and Phil
ip Ashley to come to the theater.
Bowers had said ha would be
there.
"I was going to plunk him In
the audience with Peterson beside
him and a couple of New York's
finest stationed at the doors and
F resent a little playlet for him.
meant to show him how Eve had
unconsciously switched the poison
from her place to Carol's by do
ing that scene again. Philip Ash
ley was to play his part and Alice
was to play Eve's.
"Then Alice was to imperson
ate Eve again, the next night, as
he stood in the wings just before
she was stabbed. Ashley was go
ing to show how someone, sitting
on that pile of furniture in back
of the set where Bowers had
been sitting by his own admis-1
-by KeNey Root.
sion, could easily have dipped
around to where Eve was, stabbed
her, and gone back to his place
again without having been seen."
"But how could Clint have
known that he wouldn't be seen?"
"He made sure of that If the
coast hadn't been clear he would
have waited until it had been. He
knew that sometime during that
evening, shielded by the almost
total darkness of backstage, his
chance would come. And it did
come. And he got an unexpected
break to boot Carol's wrap.
"That made him too cocky,
though. He began cooperating
with the police while they looked
for Carol's murderer. He could
afford to. They would never have
found any connection between
him and Carol because there
wasn't an. It was because he was
so sure of himself that I hoped my
little charade with Ashley and
Alice, and with Phoebe Thompson
being my assistant might shock
him into giving himself away.
"Well, maybe it wouldn't nave
worked. But I've seen Bill Powell
make it work in the movies, hun
dreds of times. Of course, as I
said, your way was much surer."
The Ring
"fY wy!" 1 uddnIv hl1 o
- laugh. "You know, I was
scared to death when I found my
self on that dark stage alone with
Alice and I was so relieved when
Bowers appeared and she sneaked
out Good old Alice! She would
sneak out and leave me alone
with a murderer."
"She didn't know. But the fact
Is she did a lot worse than that
She almost cooked your goose for
good. If she hadn t buttonholed
me and Peterson in the alley out
side for five minutes, you would
only have had to run around the
theatre a couple of times. And if
she hadn't happened to mention
that you were inside with Bowers
for another minute, well, I guess
there wouldn't have been any use
mentioning it."
The shudder that zigzagged
down my spine called for another
healthy sip of my drink and I lost
no time taxing it
"You see," Jeff went on, "you
had frightened Alice."
"I frightened Alicel She scared
the daylights out of .ne!"
"She thought from the way you
talked that I had picked her as
our murderer. Sure, the girl's
wacky, but that's what she
thought She was scared stiff, and
the first thing she wanted to do
was explain to me why she left
the theater opening night In her
mind that was our big point
against her, since I had made so
much of it."
"And did she explain It?"
"Sure, she left the theater to get
her ring."
"A ring! Oh Jeff!"
"You're laughing, huh? And
that's exactly why she wouldn't
tell uv especially you. She knew
you'd laugh."
"But she gave up-her big chance
to play a part for a ring! It sounds
awiuuy weird.

Pay-Envelope-to-Wlfe Giver
Called Robert Taylor Type;
Loy Kind Is Hard to Please
By Martin Kan
United Press Staff Correspondent' "
New York (U.R) Madam, does your husband bring his pay
envelope unopened? Whether ho has hair on his chest or not,
and ttiough he may have Gable ears and a Durante nose, 'hat
makes him "the Robert Taylor type" so far as Jay Benner,
New York marriage consultant Is concerned. He classifies his
clients, according to movin types, because it makes them feel
good and helps them visualize 'their qualities.
The Robert Taylor type,'
Benner reports, "brings his sal
ary home If you ask him for a
buck he gives you a hundred.
He wants to be looked up to."
He also has something In row
mon with the Allan Jones and
Nelson Eddy types, Ber.ner
finds. All three "think a woman
is the best thing in the world,"
though in their romantic tech
niques they differ somewhat
Approach in Three Ways
"Jones makes the elegant ap
proach," according to Benner's
analysis, "Taylor makes a dig
nified approach, and Eddy uses
the understanding approach "
These are all good sound ap
proaches said Mrs. Benner. who
assists her husband in his work.
She explained that looks
mean nothing in classifying a
person as to type. You don't
find many of the Taylor physi
ognomy hard pressed to find a
mate, so In analyzing clients the
Brenners look for spiritual qual
ities mostly.
"A Myrna Loy type, for In
stance, has the carriage of a
queen," she explained, 'she
lkes to be treated like a queen.
She likes the best of everything
She is very generous and digni
fied loyal and honest fearless
and has a tremendous amount
of ambition."
Benner said he gets more of
the Myrna Loy. Jean Arthur
and Carole Lombard tvpes
among his women clients than
any others. They are the hardest
to please In their search h,r a
mate.
Among men, the Mclvyn
Douglas type Is most difficult
to please, Benner has found.
"He wants beauty and youth,'"
ha explained. It seems that there
are quite a lot of Melvyn Doug
las types.
Benner entered the marriage
consultant business after tome
years In real estate, where, he
explained, he had a splendid op
portunity to study human na
ture. He has been In business
for himself since he was 12
years old when he read a book
entitled "How to Use Strategy"
and thereupon set the neighbor
hood children to selling candy
for him.
He has to use strategy In his
present business.
