"I'm aure I don't know," he said. "Your name's on the paper." "I see it is. Perhaps 1 should have said that while I didn't know Clarke. I had met him. "Here yesterday?" "Yes." "They tell us at your office that he called on you yesterday morn ing." Bacon's voice was curt "Go ahead and deny that Nason merely shrugged. Bacon turned to Hestor. "How long have you known him? he asked, re ferring to Nason. "Why three or four days." "But you asked him to your party. Do you mind telling me if he represents you in some capac ity?" Nason snapped at him. "She doesn't have to answer Questions like that and you know it "Certainly I know it" Bacon gave him a rakirfe glance. "But we'll And out anyway and it will lave time if she'll tell me now." "I don't mind in the least" Hes ter said. "Part of my inheritance was the Losado estate in San Baria. I put it on the market since I have no intention of re turning, and Mr. Nason's helping close the sale." "In what -way? Ia he buying It?" "It's being bought by a syndi cate in San Baria. They plan to turn it into a club. I believe. The estate will not be paid over until the first of the month, but I saw no point in remaining there. Mr. Nason is the correspondent of a legal firm In San Baria. and as I understand it the papers are to be sent to him and will be signed here." "Thanks," Bacon said. "Thanks very much." Nason's, broad face was red and angry. "Does that satisfy you. Lieu tenant?" "No thanks to you." Bacon said. "Because if it does," Nason said, Til have to ask you to excuse me. Some other time if " "Go ahead," Bacon said, his glare morose until Nason left the room. Case Agalast Ward MURDOCH pushed up from the window seat and yawned. "How much longer?" he asked. "Not long." Bacon hauled out a thick watch and examined it "I'm expecting somebody, and as soon as he comes " "I hope we've been of some help." Hestor said. "You have." Bacon said. "But Lieutenant" Hestor bat ted her lashes at him. "Surely you don't think any of us I mean, you don't suspect anyone here, do you?" "I suspect everyone," Bacon said. "I could work up a pretty good case right now against at least one of you." "Me, I suppose," Ward Allen tain. "Yes, you." Bacon iwlveled his chair. "You knew about those bonds. You delivered them or so you say. You've got no alibi; you had trouble with Clarke. Suppose you didn't deliver those bonds at S o'clock? Supoose you tailed and said you couldn't get them to his place until later. You could have gone there last night with the bonds, waited until he signed the receipt and then let him have it Not only that "Nuts." said Allen. "Nuts." Afterwards, Joyce was grateful lot those cryptic words, because simultaneously she had heard a 3uick sucking sound, throaty and istinct, a word almost that aaid: "No!" She knew at once who had uttered it and why and when she looked up Delia had her head bent one hand to her mouth. Bacon had heard it too. He had t .? tT s' .-' " 1 i i m ' riaT" I ....

Her recovery was magnificent. Shocked by her fears into an in voluntary and audible reaction, she had had the quickness cf mind to hide her face; now, as she met the detective's stare she was smiling. That smile was thin and twisted, skin-deep and forced; yet Bacon had to accept it "I'm sorry." she said huskily. "I couldn't help it It was Ward I couldn't help laughing, reallr I couldn't." "Oh" Bacon said. ."You couldn't huh?" Joyce was watching Ward Al len. He sat very straight, no long er looking at the detective, but at Delia. His face seemed frozen and there was something in his eyes that Joyce could not diagnose alarm perhaps, or incredulity. When she managed to look again at Bacon she saw his cheeks were pink and his mouth hard. Some thing had haDpened that he 'did not understand. It had slipped away from him before he grasped its significance and now it was gone forever and he knew it. For a long second no one spoke, no one seemed to move. Some where in the house a door slammed and presently there were sounds of footsteps in the adjoining room. Sergeant Keogh automatically disappeared. By the time Bacon had cleared his throat he was back. "See you a minute. Lieutenant?" he asked. .Bacon went out with him. Hestor stirred on the divan. "I'm worn out" she said. "I really am. 1 don't know about the rest of you but I could do with a drink." "I could do with one myself," Thorndike said. ' Hestor went over to the desk and pressed a button. Although her face still lacked the proper color Delia was trying very hard to be gay now a she reached out and put her hand on Ward's knee. "You shouldn't talk to police men that way, darling," she said, "it's not good form." "You mean they won't like me?" Ward gave her a twisted smile of his own. "Wouldn't that be tough?" The butler appeared in the doorway. "Drinks, Edward," Hestor said. "Scotch, I think. And some sher ry." The Dropped Glass I V'HEN Bacon retur.ied the but ' ler wheeled in a tea wagon, well weighted with glasses and bottles and ice. Thorndike pre sided. Sergeant Keogh came back. "He's the guy the maid saw on the back terrace, all right." "Tell Malloy to bring him In." Bacon said. Keogh Jerked his head at some one in the other rocm and a plain clothes man entered, holding the arm of a tall, straight-standing man with blue-black hair and opaque black eyes. His smooth, almost beardless skin had the color of a summer-long tan and his features were sharply cut, the nose straight and thin. He stopped just inside the door way, his eyes taking in the room In one swift, hostile glance. Joyce stared at him, confused by the impression that although the man was a stranger she had seen the face somewhere before A loud crash ruptured her thoughts. By the time she had located its source Hestor was leaning over, looking down at what remained of her drink. "How awkward of me," Hestor said. She looked up and her face was white, her smile unnatural and fixed. "It knocked against my knee and slipped out of my hand." No one else said a word. Bacon was scowling at Hestor, Te be conlinaed i a.-V",'w n-J ' - 1 -r .fmsvij Ruth Mitchell Returns h if i Ruth Mitchell (right), arrested and imprisoned by the Ger mans as a member of the Yugoslav Chetnik guerilla army, was greeted by her daughter.
