"He'll make a date, either to come for the en velope or ask you to meet him somewhere." He glanced at Delia, (till smiling. "Either way is okay. Youll tell him you'll de liver and when you do Fll be aomewhere around. After that we'll see what happens; maybe m have an angle." "But you mustn't take it away from him.'' Delia said, alarm striking at her eyes. "He could till so to the nolice "I know." Fenner said. "But let's not worrv about what we 11 do until the time comes. After I find out who the guy is and what he does with the envelope we'll figure out the next step " "Oh," Delia said. "You follow nim?" "Well find some way. What's your address? Delia gave it and Fenner wrote it down. "I'll be there at eleven thirty in the morning. Okay? Jovce lathered her things, ex changed glances with Delia, said. "Well and started to rise. Fenner got up with them, reaching for the remainder of bis drink. "Why don't you finish it?" Joyce asked. "We'll run along but there's no need for you to c6me if you'd like to stay. Fenner gave her a grin of ap preciation. "All right I can do my thinking here as well as any place. "Thanks, Jack," Joyce said. "Good night." "Good night See you at eleven thirty." . They left the room and turned down the long corridor. Now what do you think?" Joyce asked. "I'n I'm filad we came " Delia said, "You were right. He will know what to do. He's so well, I hard ly know what to say. I've never known anyone quite line mm. There's something about him something compelling that makes me feel like shivering Inside wnen he looks at you a certan way, and yet I think I like him. I I'm not quite so worried as I was. . . . Oh there's Uncle Dean . . ." They were in the main lobby now and Dean Thorndike was coming towards them from the di rection of the elevators. An in stant later he spotted them and waved. "WeU," he said, as he removed his hat "what brings you here? Out for a drink all by your selves?" Joyce hesitated, feeling Delia's sidelong glance and deciding not to mention Jack Fenner. The name would mean nothing to Thorndike and if he found out they'd been meeting a nrivate detective there would be other things he'd want to know. If Delia wanted to explain well and goon, u not "We had just one," she said when she could ignore the awk ward silence no longer. "I had to drop by and see a fellow," Thorndike said. 'Thinks he might want to buy the ketch. I'll buy another drink." "Thanks, no," Joyce said. "If you want to drive us home," Delta said, "I might be able to find something for you." "You came in a cab?" Thorn dike said. "All right I'll run you over." "Don't Scream" THEY stood under the lighted marquee while he went for his car. It was drizzling now and the massive doorman stuod by with his umbrella until Thorndike drove up. Although they rode three In the front seat there was little said until Thorndike slowed down and looked for a parking space in front nf Delia's apartment home. "Will you come up for that DEATH FOB SABOTAGE Vichy, July 10 -W) The death penalty was decreed today for persons who set fire to crops as the Laval government sought Cuts Locks for Bells Role IlumI. .. . es Dancer Vara Zorina appeared skeptical of the result alter her hair was shorn lor the role el Maria in the lilmkng ol the novel "For Whom The Ball Tails" as she checked up on the bail cutting Job at Hollywood at Director Sam Wood stands by. by Gaorg Harmon Cox drink?" she asked. Thorndike said he didn't think so and Delia added: "Well, would you mind waiting a minute while Joyce comes up? There's something I want to give ner. "All right" Thorndike said. 'Til let you out here." He stopped in front of the en trance, which was partly blocked off, and reached over to open the door. Joyce and Delia got out and burned across me siaewaiK. "Do you mind?" Delia asked. "I Just had to talk to you a min ute and Uncle Dean won't care." They went up the stairs silently to the second floor. Delia had her key out by the time they reached her door, and, unlocking it stepped across the threshold Into darkness. Joyce was right behind her and light from the hall spilled past them and she saw Delia reach for the wall-switch Just ahead. There was no warning for what happened next no sound, no intuitive suggestion, nothing. One moment Delia's hand was reach ing for the switch; the next the hand had stopped in mid-air and a gruff, deep voice with a snap to it shattered the still blackness ahead of them. "Don't touch it and don't scream!" The Envelope JOYCE froze and for the next In terminable second her mind was a detached and separate part of her, so that although her body was stiff and incapable of move ment, her brain raced and her perceptions were sharp, clear, and detailed. Aside from the immediate shock she felt no great fear but only incredulity. Delia had re coifed with the command; now she was like a statue, poised but motionless, her hand fixed in mid air. Beyond there was nothing but blackness. From it came the next command, "tjut your hand downl" ' Slowly, as though with an In tense muscular effort Delia low ered her hand. "Good. Now come forward. Slowly. Leave the door open so I can see you." The voice was still low. pausing briefly and then snapping out at them. "Move." For the first time, Joyce felt real fear. She had to obey quickly; Delia too. She closed up behind the girl and put both hands above her hips, guiding her for ward as she moved. "Do as he says, darling." "Stop there!" the voice com manded. "Good, I'm going down the hall and out the back door. Just remember I can see you all the way. Stand still and stay quiet and you'll be all right" Joyce could hear the man mov ing now. the soft slide of his feet across the rug. Try as she might she could not penetrate the dark ness and presently even the sound of him was gone. I no next minute was like an hour. She could hear her own breathing; she could hear Delia. There was even time for her thoughts to slide off on a tangent and wonder what might have happened had Dean Thorndike come up with them for that drink. The sound of a door closing was loud and startling and even when the silence came again and she knew the man had gone it took her a second or two to force herself to move. He's gone," Delia breathed. 'Yes." Jovce said, and turned to the wall switch and snapped it on. The light was momentarily blinding and she stood blinking ai 11. Delia was looking at her. her face white and strained, her eyes more startled than afraid Seconds went by before either of them moved again and then Joyce noticed the secretary. The draw ers were pulled part-way out; so was one in tne tame. The envelope! ' Delia said. Abruntlv she turned and start ed for the hall. Ta be contlnaad to prevent repetition of acts which caused such widespread destruction last summer. TJas Mall Tribune want art. On the Radio Chains STATION!!
