She put her bead back and (hook her blond hair, pushing it back from ber ears when she finished. Then the looked at him and trailed. "You're not angry, really. You're hurt" "I'm tore." be said. "All right, you're tore." ' "And disgusted." "And disgusted." She wat watching him, her eyes concerned and still faintly smil ing. When ne saw that look he melted a little and with some re luctance, said: "All right Forget It" "Don't mind us." said Tenner. "Go ahead and sulk." "Shut up!" "Maybe the reason Delia didn't want to tell vou was because of HcMtor." Joyce said. "Hestor?" Murdock's frown bit deeper. "How does Hestor" "Delia knew you'd been mar ried to her. You must have loved her once, you know." "Look." Murdock tald gently. "If Hestor was the killer she wasn't but suppose she was and I found it out you're wondering if I'd turn her in. la that it?" "Well, would you? Be honest now." Murdock thought it over. "If it was only a question of Perry Clarke, orobably not. With a guy like that you generally fig ure he had it coming and you hate to see anybody hang for the job. 1 don't know. It's funny about murder. I've been mixed up in a couple, but never by choice, and if I ever helped the Dolice it wasn't because of any moral ob ligation to society. At least I don't think it was. "Two men have been killed. I still don't know much about it but I do know it't time for vou to stop fooling around. You saw Rae. burn come out of that building. You told the police. You're the one who. on a witness stand, can practically pin the crime on him. Okay, now suppose he saw you." "Oh I don't think he did," Joyce said. "You hope he dldn t But any way, tnats wnat I mean. Ihat l what I was trying to tell you last night People always figure that murder is something that happens to somebody else. Right now it can happen to you. Right now you're a potential victim." "Nonsense." "Why do you think Hnrdacker was killed? Because he knew too much, wasn't it?" "I suppose so." "Your testimony will convict Raeburn. won't it?" "Yes. but" "I mean It, Joyce," he said. "Stay out of it. So far you've been lucky. Don't fool with it any more. And don't worry about Hestor. .If she or anyone else is covering up and I happen to find out about it I'm going to do some uncovering." He grinned up at her. "If I don't give it a try. I suppose you wilL" She made a face at him and Tenner spoke up. "I've got a little stake In this too, now." He was looking In hisj glass and his voice was cold and quiet "Harriacker was a nice lit tle guy. A little dumb, but a reg-l ular. I'd sort of like to get a! crack at this lad Racburn." Fenner's mood reached out across the room. The knocking wnicn lol lowed came as a relief. Joyce opened the door. "Come In." she said, and Delia Stewart entered, greeting them with a ten tative smile. "I heard you," she told Joyce. "When you didn't come back I I thought I'd get up too." - She took a chair and curled up with ber bare feet under ber. The cream-colored robe was too large for her but she had wrapped it tightly about her voung body and was using the sleeve for a muff. "We were Just talking." Joyce said. "Do go on." Delia said. Tm not intruding, am I?" "Indeed you're not" Checked Out MURDOCK found enjoyment in iust watching her. The long Eart of her hair had angled scrosi er forehead and the flush of re cent sleep was still in her cheeks. She smiled at him. her eves wide and friendly and he thought: She's cute. And she's not afraid any more. "I thought you were my pal," he said. "Oh. I am. Kent "Couldn't trust me. huh?" "Leave her alone." Joyce said "He's right though. Delis said. "I was stupid and it was a shabby trick. Kent" "But everything is all right now. isn't it?" he said. "Oh. yes. About tonight you mean, don't you? Yes. because Ward couldn't have been mixed up in this: he was still in jail." Joyce stood up. "I think I want something." She looked at Delia "A hot chocolate, maybe. It'll make us sleep." "Yes," Delia said. Til help you. , , . No, I really want to." She got up. "You'll go get your slippen then." Joyce said. "Make mine beer." Murdock said. "And if there's any crackers "I know," said Joyce. Murdock hesitated: then asked something that had been on his mind since Joyce had interrupted them. "The police have any Una on Raeburn yet?" Fenner shook his head. "That'l why Bacon was so burned. It was after eleven when he got there and by the time he could get a man to Raeburn's hotel he'd skipped. Checked out about twen ty minutes before." He folded his hands and looked up at the ceiling. "It s a break your wife saw him. too." His f lance came bark to Murdock and eveled there. "For the kid's boy friend. I mean. Bacon didn't tell her. but Allen was released around seven-thirty last night Arnold Gage sprung him." I.lne On Raeburn LIEUTENANT BACON arrived ' at the Murdock apartment at ten the following morning. Kent brought him in the dining room, where the others were lingering over their colTce. Joyce poured coffee for him and Loretta came in with two hot muffins and put them beside his plate. "I just wanted to see if maybe you'd remember anything more about last night. Sometimes you sleep on a thing and vou think of little details that vou hadn't thought of before. If we could sort of run over again what you did maybe something would come up we could use." "What about Raeburn?" Murdock- asked. "Anything more on him?" "A little. For one thing he hired Hardacker about a week ago." "Oh." said Fenner and the word dragged out thin. Bacon took a look at him, then sipped his cotfee and continued: "We got that from the girl Hint worked in his otlice. She don't know all of it but she knows a little. Raeburn came in said he got Hardacker's name from a telephone book.

AJ.P)Few men in aviation circles can match the exnerienre nr confi dence that Ceorge Waltz, civil ian foreman of the parachute department at Mather Field, has in the big umbrellas. With 14 years of experience with the aerial life savers, Waltz has 4UJ jumps to his credit, all of them logged. The number of the ship. Its pilot, date, altitude and kind of iumo was recorded after every descent. Waltz" parachute Jumping ca reer started by accident. 'While flying in Mexico, he took to his 'chute to save his life when fire broke out. He dropped about 3, 000 feet before rememherinir in pull the ripcord, landing safely dui considerably shaken by the exneriencp. Nevertheless, he went im again the following day and maae a voluntary Jump. His second descent mvs him iho idea of becoming a professional jumper, ana arter several exhi bitions at air meets and other demonstrations, h i a aomixo. were in demand by many barn storming pilots. He has had four forced ttimna and on two occasions fell out of the ship. His first fall occurred when one of his students became wedged in ihe plane door. Waltz gave him a push but lost his balance and fell headlong mrougn the door himself For. tunately he was wearing a par- acnuie ai ine time. 38 Jumos in On hsv Another unexDected descent occurred wnne on an assign ment for a mountain resort.
