WOW OO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXX VIII : TLTATTHEW HOLLISTEH was completely changed flgnre whether from grief or terror Ban ' nlstor could only guess. He seemed : smaller, shrunken and bis face was ; as colorless as bis rarber MrHow skin could be. . "The "police ham tot vrotaet aae!" be shouted. , McNeal stepped forward. "Just what are you afraid of, Mr. Hoi' hteterr be asked. "What am I atrakl of? Ton ask mm that, with my sister lying dead la the next room? This place teat safe, I tell you. I wont here . "You a out aeed to stay If yon don't want to," McNeal assured him. 'TFou can go some where else." "That's not what I want. I want " protection!" McNeal eyed hfan curiously, "You mean you want a bodyguard? Lis - ten, Holllstor, it there's aayoae you're afraid of I want yon to tell ma about H. We H do all we can to protect yon but we'll bare to know who or what yon suspect' Matthew Hollister'a Toica ro : more shrilly, "My sister's dead. isn't she? Someone murdered her, Right in this room! There was ', man killed upstairs, too, less than two weeks ago. I tell yon this place Isn't sate! They're liable to walk in bera and marder an an: arimte!" "Who do yoa mean by tbey'?" That line of questioning brought Httle satisfaction. M was obvious that Matthew BolHster was in the trip of hysteria. K was finally settled that he sbouM stay in the apartment that Bight and that McNeal would send out a man to guard the place. When Holllster seemed Quieter Bannister stepped to his side. "Yoa remember me, don't yoa, Mr. Holllster?" he asked. "We had a little talk downtown a few days ago." Matthew Bolllster raised Me eyes. "Why, yes," he said atowty, "I remember." "My name's Bannister," the other reminded him. "I woi k utere s some place where we could go aow to talk " uouister guanoed ndewise at McNeal who waa speaking to uniformed officer. "We could go in my room, I guess," he said, a a TTB led the way aad the reoor- ters followed. The bedroor opened 08 a Barrow ball at the lef t. It was a small square room. , simpiy mrnisnea. , Holllster, apologizing tor the . lack of chairs, sat on the bed and Bannister sat beside him. "We'd like to hear Just what happened uus afternoon," he said, mean so far as yon know." The wild look had gone from Matthew Hollister'a eyes. They ' were pale and mild again. Bnt his Toice was not quite at its natural pitch and it 'was not quite steady. "I told the police," be said, "bnt I can tell you over again. I don't know anything about how It happened. I was away most of the , aiternoon. 1 went for a walk. I . usuany go ror a walk every day and I didn't get out this morning. oou a uracn 01 indigestion. "Melvlna'd been puttering aroand j the kitchen, washing the dishes .and doing some cooking. She told ma she'd made a lemon pie for supper." He hesitated. "Ifs oat there bow," he added slowly. "I t saw M a while ago. . "I told her I was going out and stopped to And out if there was anything she wanted me to get for her. She said there wasn't. Then she looked out the window . and saw it had begun to snow. She told me I onght not to go out la the snow but I don't mind that so 1 said I'd go anyhow. H ' I hadn't if I'd stayed here maybe this wouldn't have happened." ; : Ho paused and the room was perfectly quiet "She was sitting ' at the writing desk when I left" ' be went on. "She didn't say so -but I supposed she was going to ; write a letter. Just as I was going uis uoor sne called and wanted to know if I had my rub- aim 1 ioiu ner yes. She said 1 'Matthew hare yon got your rnb- hers on?" It was the last thing I u- waiu 11 uj say.

After wuue 1 mouglit I'd gone for enotiah nd started back. The snow was wraiing aown faster and It bog on to look dork but I wasn't in any "Pedal hurry. I like to be out In the snow. When I got to the cor aw down the street I noticed the a ia me arqg store window . sold It was By minutes 10 in That wasn't right though, because I always keep my watch right I looked at It and It was exactly one minute before are o'clock. "I oame into the hotel aa4 rode op to this floor la the elevator. It waa dark when I epeaad the door and I wondered why Melvina hadn't turned on the lights. Then I saw her. 8he was In that big chair before the window, sort of fallen side-wise. I thought she waa sick but when I touched her and felt her hands" His voice dropped and be turned away. 1 knew," he went on brokenly. t ,. 4, "I ran down stairs And Void the clerk somothlng terrible bad ban-' pened. He cam back with me. There's a doctor In the building and be came pretty soon, but of course tt waa too lata.- Toe clerk called the police, too, I guess. Any how they cam after a while. They've been going around asking a lot of questions." - . He looked op at" the three awn who were listening.- "Why don't they stop asking questions." be de manded Utterly,, "and do some thing? Letting people be murdered in their own homes ta brood day light! Why don't the police do something about H?" "I guess they're doing what they oaa," Bannister told him. 1 The older man did not teeai to hear. . "I cant hardly believe tt," he want on, hit voice catching so that the words were ehoaked. "I doat see who could have wanted to harm Melvina!": . Bannister said, "Mr. Ho Ulster, when we had that talk the other day you told me yon were afraid yoar sister was worrying, about something. Ton said you thought she might know, something about the Tracy King marder." TTOLLKTER raised bis eyes but -H- their expression waa dull. "No," he said. "I dont think she did. There wasnt anybody had any cause to harm Melvina. She and I we were the only ones left There's only me now. t cant quite realise tt "But you must have some Idea who could have done such a thing? Ton must have some theory?" Holllster shook his head. "No,' he said, "I haven't The police have the theories. All I know Is Melvina's gone. Fm all alone. I'm the only one-left. I I hope you'll excuse me now " They left hkn alone. As the dear closed behind them Gainey said, "Poor old duffer!" and Flem ing added, "He eure la all broken McNeal van not la the ferine on but another detective was there. Bannister asked If they could see the body and the detec tive nodded, motioning toward a door at the right The reporters entered the bed room. They saw tha bulky outlines of a figure on the bed, covered by a sheet Bannister lifted a corner of the sheet then dropped It In life Melvina Holllster had been formidable. She was set fonnld- 4e now. "Ihere's no reason for as to stay here any longer, is there?" Ban nister ashed gruffly. Gainey said he wanted to see Mc Neal again and Bannister told him he would wait for him down stairs. He need the stairs Instead of the elevator this time and torned into the small parlor where he and the others bad waited for McNeal. Bannister dropped Into a chair, took a cigaret from his pocket and lighted it Then he set himself to reviewing everything be knew about Melvina and Matthew Hol llster. But the mind sometimes plays strange tricks. Bannister, ' trying to remember Just what Melvina had, said on the only occasion be had talked to her, was baited by a curi ous thought He saw Juliet France again, as she had looked across the breakfast table that morning. He heard her saying, "Something's go ing to happen. I'm afraid it will be something terrible." How could she possibly have fore seen that? (To Be Ooanmae)' CWA Workman Escapes Injury CEDARVILLE.
