Sht blew a smoke ring at the ceilinf and Invitingly patted the bed on Which (he sat. "You don't need to be afraid," he assured us flippantly. "There't no bugs. This Is a swell jail. Now when I was In Jail in Los Angeles-" "What was It for that time?" Clint Mattison drawled, trying to match ber mood. "For kissing a cop," Kathy told him. "They should have kept you In jail," Mattison declared. "I don't approve of indiscriminate kissing." "Oh, you don't" Kathy taunted. "No. I believe in saving them all for the one and only when he comes along." "That's old-fashioned," Kathy objected. "I'm old-fashioned." Mattison told her. "I'll probably be a Simon Legree if I ever have a wife. I'll beat her if she even looks at another man." "I think I'd like that," Kathy aid. The matron cam then and said our time was up. I went on out into the corridor, bat Mattison hung back for a mo ment I wondered if be had nerve enough to kiss her before the matron. I noticed a crooked dash of lipstick on his mouth as we went outside, so I guess be had. ' Tl T ATTISON Jerked the coupe away from the curb, made a U-turn in the middle of the street and set out for Kraiktower at a furious speed. At the house he brought the car to a quiet stop and helped me out. I thought I owed him something, so I asked him in for a cocktail. It . was then I noticed his eyes. Behind his narrowed lids they were gleaming, and for the first time I felt a little chill creep up soy back. He accepted my invitation so there wasnt anything I could do but turn and lead the way into the living room. The house, I noticed, seemed singularly quiet for the middle of the day. Connie, a I learned later, had put Walter to bed and was standing guard over him to see that no one dis turbed aim. To keep things quiet for him, she had John take Miss Lake and the twins across the lake for a picnic luncheon, and Clara and Sarah were busy in the laun dry room with a belated week's wash. I started toward the bell cord to summon Clara. All at once Mattison was beside me. "Don't bother the servants," he said amiably. "Ill mix the drinks." ' He escorted me to a seat and waited until I was comfortably settled before he busied himself at the liquor cabinet with bottles and glasses. There was something wrong with the picture but I didn't know what until he turned , around. Then I saw that he had fixed only one cocktail, and that ' be carried it with his handker chief wrapped around the stem of the glass. He walked over and closed the living room door, then he came toward me. "Aren't you drinking?" I asked and something caught my voice in my throat so that it came out ragged and thin. He smiled .down at me. "No not this time." I had often wondered what kind of a person a murderer was what he looked like. Now I knew. I was looking at one. Mattison's eyes had become mere slits and his cheek bones stood out harsh and ugly from the angle where I saw them. In one of his temples a swollen vein throbbed fever ishly. "There's poison in this cock tail." From his tone he might have been discussing the weather. "But you don't need to be afraid it's quick and painless." T COULDN'T have screamed if I had wanted to, and anyway it wouldn't have done any good, for I was as isolated in the living room of my home with that heavy door shut as if I had been alone -with that madman on a desert island. "What are you going to do?" "Make you drink itl That Is, after you have written and signed a confession.

He set the cocktail glass down on a bookcase just out of my reach. I watched him, fasci nated. I could see it as clearly as he did. Just the one cocktail glass and my fingerprints on it, and my signed confession. It was perfect all right. He had taken a notebook and pen from his pocket. He forced them into my hands. "Write write what 1 say." Of course I struggled, but his big hands were around my throat by that time, cutting off my breath. He began to dictate: "I, Martha Kraik, do hereby confess that I shot and killed Derek Grady because he was blackmailing my granddaughter. Her confession to the crime is false. She did it to save me. God forgive me. Signed: Martha COLORFUL CHAIR SET IN EASY STITCHES 7562 by Alice Brooks Paint this scene with needle and floss see its quaint, rustic charm grow under your fingers!

' ' I wrote all right wrote des perately, not waiting to cross my t'a or dot my i's. Wrote as if my life depended on it, as indeed it did. My eyeballs ached and there were flashes of white light before them as I finished. The pen fell from my fingers. Clint Mattison released the pressure on my throat a little as he leaned forward to read what I had written. I heard him suck in his breath. With all his cleverness he hudnt guessed!
