With everr lent alert he tried to nroiect Bis perception! in rough the darkness, and suddenly be had the feeling that someone was here. He listened, hearing noth ing, then moves aside away from the door and pressed the switch. After that there was nothing be could do but stare. Smack in the middle of the double bed lay Jack Fenner. both pillows under his bead and his race turned towaras me winaows. On the bedside table was a pack of eicarettes. a Ditcher of water. an empty (flats and a bottle of scotch, nan iuil "Well, now do you like that?1 MurHnrk eaid aloud. Nothing happened. He walked around the foot of the bed. Fen cer's eyes were closed "Hey." he said, and stood there another moment or two, running his fingers through dark hair al ready tousled, frowning, watching the detective with mild annoy ance. Finally he picked up the bottle of whisky ana uncorked it. He held it under i enner s nose. Fenner stirred, muttering soft. ly. He licked his lips and opened one eye: then ne opened both and turned oer on his back. Without a word he reached for the bottle. Murdoch put it back on the table, r enner signed loua lv and Tinned. "It was a swell dream," hi said. "All about a robbery in a aistu lerv." "Nuts," Murdoek said. "You were playing possum." "Ho-hum, said Fenner, stretch ing. "What time is Jt7 "After three." "My. bit." Fenner reached for a cigarette and lit it, propping the pillows oenina mm. Muraocx pegan to undress and his grin went away. A soberness came upon his face and trouble touched his eyes for ne could no longer pretend that Jack Fenner was merely here as an overnight guest. "What's u. Jack?" "I guess they wanted a man In the house. We got in little after one and sat around." "Who you protecting them from?" "The guy that killed Clarke. He was at it arfain tonight." Fenner hesitated and his voice was sud denly remote. "A guy 1 knew Nick Hardacker. Joyce and the Stewart girl were in on it. They had a pretty rough time what with that and a couple of hours with the police. When 1 came home with them they were still Jittery and I told 'em I'd stick around until you came. Your wife pushed me in here." The Story MURDOCK put on his robe and sat on the edge of the bed. trying to put down his bewilder ment, to speak reasonably. "What did Joyce and Delia have to an witn ur "Plenty." "But how, damn It? And how did you get mixed up In it?" 1m working for them." Murdoek peered at him." You're what?" Fenner nodded. "! told your wife you'd probably find out about It" "Go on." "1 told her you'd get sore too." "Never mind that. What were you doing for them?" Fenner cocked a brow at him. "Ordinarily a client's rights have to be protected" "Oh, sure," Murdoek said dis gustedly. "but this time It's okay. Joyce knew you'd find me here, so she said I'd better tell you the whole thing.' "Well, that's big of you both." . "I knew you'd get sore." ' "I'm not sore but" "You want me to tell It or not?"

A"i Port land recorded Its 31st traffic fa tality of the year last night with the death of William Hudson, 63. Milwaukie, Injured by bus July . ARCHEOLOGIST DIES Jerusalem, July 30 iJi Sii Flinders Petrie. British arrheolo gut noted for nil work in Egypt, by Gaorg Harmon Cox saw he wouldn't be Interrupted he said: "The way 1 get it is this At first as Fenner began to un fold the story, Murdoch's reac tion was one of resentment but as the details began to pile up the feeling of resentment gave way to one of worry. He had known, of course, that Joyce had been anxious about Ward Allen and Delia Stewart but be'd had no idea thai she would actually involve nersjlf in the investiga tion without telling him. Actually he had had no opin ion on the murder at all. He had been so busv he'd had no time to think about it But when he heard what bad happened that night a feeling of alarm and dis may came over him. Jt was im possible now to ignore the threat of danger to Delia and Joyce. "This Hardacker was a private dick?" he asked when Fenner had finished. "Do the police know who he was working for?" "They will," Fenner said. They were trying to contact the girl that works for him when we left." "Was he the man who hired the apartment across the hall from Clarke?" "They don't know that yet either "How was Bacon?" "Burning." Enter Joyce) FENNER reached for the bottle of Scotch. He poured a little in his glass, added water. "You?" he asked. Murdoek shook his head. TU get a beer in a minute," he said, and bis face was sombre and grooved with wrinkles at the brow. For some moments he sat .here trying to recall the things that Hestor had told him in an effort to see how they fitted the story he had just heard. The result was a merry-go-round of thought and when he found no satisfactory answers his irritation began to mount again. "A fine thing," he said. "Joyce running around getting messed up in a murder case and not even telling me about it." "That's the way it goes," said Fenner. "Why didn't she come to me In the first place? Why" "Because I promised Delia I wouldn't" Joyce said through a crack in the door. "Can 1 come in?" She came io Murdoek and kissed him. She had on a navy blue dressing gown and her arms were hugging themselves in front of her so that the collar was high about her throat. Her smoky-blue eyes were soft with sleep and a flush lingered in her cheeks. "Are you angry?" "Certainly I'm angry," Murdoek said. Joyce sighed. "I was afraid you would be. "And why not? You knew Delia'd been at Clarke's place when 1 came home that first night." "t knew It before that" Joyce said. "She was here, telling me about the envelope when you phoned." Murdoek waved his arms "la that something? I ask you? You hold out on me even after I'd told you all I knew. I even told you wnat nestor said. I d promised Delia, Kent "So what? Am I the bogy man?" 'You're trying hard." Fenner said. Murdoek glared at him: then looked back at Joyce and found her eyes rebellious. "I asked you to help," she said. "I asked you last night But you couldn't be bothered, could you? You said It was none of your bus iness and vou " "Why didn't you tell me the truth then? That would have been different." "I couldn't tell you anything." Joyce said, "until I knew you'd help us." Te be esntlnoea' Idled last night In the govern ment hospital. He was 89 years old last June 3.
