The detective was leaving oa a night train. Parrott was wanted, abNal aula, for Questioning con cerning the Tracy King murder and "another serious offense.' Bannister talked it over with Austin, the assistant etty editor. The report that had come on the teletype machine was nothing more than a lew lines saying Par rott was being held until Instruc tions were received from officials in Tremont. "So he weut back to has (M stamping ground!" Bannister claimed. "McNeal told me Par rott was In some kind ot a Mix up ta St. Louis last winter. Ar rested or indicted I've forgot ten. I believe it had something to do with dope " TH have Galney check aa om that," Austin said quickly. Ana tin had read Bannister's novels and admired them. He couldn't Quite bring himself to assign chores to this celebrated writer aa be would have to a reporter. After oil, Austin was only an . assistant etty editor, and a young rWfeat's McNeal mean by this ether 'serious offense'?" he asked, "The boys couldn't get him to say anything more about it." Bannister shook bis head. "Don't know," he said. "McNeal's got something up his sleeve. I've been sore of that for a long wbue. Rat ba won't show hla hand. Ton know McNeal wasn't sure Al Dra cnn's death was Inst an accident. He told me so. Maybe he thinks Parrott had something to do with it" They talked for batt aa hour longer, mulling over the ease. Then Bannister left the office. took a street car and rode home. As he stood before the mirror In his bedroom, tying Us neck tie and then retying it. Bannister reflected this was the first eve ning hi many that he had both ered to dress for dinner. It was, as a matter of fact, the first eve ning in the week he had spent at home. Days and evenings, too, had become very much alike. He spent them at the newspaper office, at police headquarters, now and then launching out on some wild and fruitless expedition. . a a a TJANNI8TER studied hlmseK in the mirror, frowned and grasped the ends ot the offend ing necktie. He pulled them loose and for the third time knotted them again. He turned away from the mir ror, walked to the window. K was dark outside. Time to go down stairs. Still Bannister lin gered. Ee picked up a paper knife, toyed with it and put it aside. He sat down on the edge of the desk. It wasn't, he assured himself once more, that he had intended doing Juliet France a favor by bringing her to his aunt's home. It was pleasanter for her here, of course, but that wasn't why he had done it. She was here be cause Bannister believed Captain Henley was right The girl iris the key to the mystery ot the murder. She knew more than she had admitted and finding out her secret was the task Bannister had set for himself. Living here, unaware that anyone was watch ing her, she could be sure to give nerseil away. BanniBter was pleased with the way he had handled matters. The girl evidently had accepted his story. Aunt Kate, likewise, had shown no signs of doubt. He had told her that Miss France was an old friend, a girl be had known In New York. He had happened to meet her, had discovered that she was remaining in Tremont for a tew days until she had news about a Job Bhe had applied for, and felt it was no more than courteous to ask her to stay with them. To all this Aunt Kate had agreed. The rest ot the task was going to be more dllflcu' . Bannister straightened his shoulders, stood up. He'd better go down and have a talk with Miss JuUet France. And he was aware of alt her trickery nowl She wouldn't fool him as -she had before. But there was no time then to talk. Bannister went down stairs and met his aunt In the hallway. "Oh, there you are, David!" she exclaimed. "I was lust going to call you. Everything's ready to put on the table." "Has Miss France come downf" "Yes, she's In the living room. You go tell her that dinner's ready."., i HB went In toy the living room The girl looked np from the magaslne in her lap and smiled. "Good evening" she said. Bannlstor didn't speak for an Instant. He stood looking at this strangely transformed Juliet France. She had put on a blouse ot shimmering ivory silk, low at the throat. Always before ha had seen her in green. He hadn't Imagined her wearing anything else. The glow ot the lamp light toll on her hair and he saw that it was really golden. . She was still pale, but she seemed re freshed and rested. "Good evening," he said. "My aunt sent me to toll you that din ner is ready." . A tew minutes later they were at the table. Kate Hewlett had, as usual when it came to cooking, done herself proud. The roast was beautifully browned. Juicy and tender. The vegetables were weU seasoned, the salad crisp and delicious. Bnt It was the dessert that waa the masterpiece. A pudding so light and delicately flavored that Bannister had no Idea ot what It was made. There were tiny cakes that Kate had herself baked to aa with the pudding. Juliet France murmured, "1 dont know when I've seen such food! And every mouthful Is J oat as good as it looks, too." "Let me get yon another help Inc." Mrs. Hewlett urged. "It'll do you good to eat." "Oh, no!" the girl protested. "I couldn't eat another btte. Really I couldn't" They had their coffee and then Kate Hewlett sent the young peo ple back to the living room. "Bat I want to beta with the dishes," Jnliet said. "Frederick vW do them," Ban aister spoke ap. "He the house TT-ATB HEWLETT'S tone flared. "Frederick wiR do nothing ot the sort!" she said. "Do you think I'd trust my china to his clumsy fingers? I'll do them my self!" . "Bnt please!" the girl urged. "Set me help." The older woman was firm. "Some other time," she said "but not tonight You and David go in by the fire. ITl come as soon as I've finished at the kitchen. It wont take me any time at all." The flames in the fireplace had aod away and there was little more than as edge ot crimson on the charred wood. Bannister bus led himself at the hearth far sev eral minutes. When be tamed be saw that the girl was standing beside the peaao, glancing at some music. "Do you play?" ba asked. "A little." "I'd like very much to hear you." Her eyes raised to his but he could not read their glance. Then, without replying, she sat down, touched the keyboard. "I'm rather oat ot practice." she said. The notes were vaguely familiar. Bannister had heard them before some where, probably at a concert, bat he had never heard them like this leaning back In a comfort able chair before a fire place. The girl played surely, sweetly. Ban nister, listening, thought ot the monotonous lapping ot ocean waves against a sandy beach. The music was like that, with the melody coming hi clear and strong above the waves. No not waves, ot coarse! Bat it sounded the way waves do. How pleasant all this was a Warm. attrartivA rnnnt. rho flrallvlit and the music. Bannister drew on us clgaret deeply and let the twisted arreAfii of amnlra mnm from his lips. Pleasant indeed! He had foreottfla hnw afrAoahta nn evening such as this could be. me music came to an end then. Bannister arose and moved to the piano. "This is a real treat," he said, "Please don't stop yet!" The girl looked np, smiled. There was a mischievous light In her eyes as she said, "I think, Mr. Bannister, I Bhould tell you that you aren't deceiving me for a moment" (To Be Continues!)
