Clem Kvaaa, apnrta writer. aa4 Pat Cleveland, anrletr re arter aearch. Ala paucra tor a alow, a a DAVE CHAPTER IT. DAT was still staring at tte lct- ter she had found in Joe Park er's desk when the side door opened and a cold blast ot air ushered someone into the room. 'Tor Pete's sake, hello, there!" Clem's greeting jerked her thoughts up short She looked up, startled. "Dave Elson," she cried. "So you did come!" "Did you think I wouldn't, Pat?" Hit voice sounded tired and there were little lines around his eyes and mouth that hadn't been there three years ago. He thrust out his hand. "How are you, Pat?" Pat smiled up at him. His hand shake sent the same old thrill through her. "Never better until today." There was a little catch in her throat "I know," he nodded. "I caught a plane , . . Lucky I finished that assignment . . . My vacation started Sunday. Is there a clew?" "No, son," Clem Evans answered him. "Not a thing but the knife with no fingerprints on it" Pat held up the letter she had found just before Dave's arrival. "We have this," she told them. "Listen. 'You may get that infor mation, Parker, but you'll never print it I can't have my business ruined by a civic-minded paper like yours. My set-up is a gold mine. It's going to stay that way.' There is no signature, of course." i Both men snatched at the letter. Dave got it He studied it closely, then handed it to Evans. "There's a funny letter on that typewriter, Pat The 1? Ifs out of line. ' Pat nodded. She had seen it too, but "What good will that do?" she asked hopelessly. "Where do we start?" Dave Elson shook his head. "I don't know, Pat" he said. "But we'll do something. We've ot to." . Pat gave him a quick look. There was a hint of the old Dave in his tone that stirred memories in her heart memories that she had long ago made up her mind to forget Too, she felt a little sorry for him and pity was the last thing in the world she.wanted to feel for Dave Elson. a. a TT was after dark when Save, " Pat and Clem left the Express office. They had finished looking through Joe Parker's desk without success. That one letter seemed to be the only bit of evidence in the case and the possibility that It might prove anything was piti fully vague. What chance did they have to check every typewriter in the county? Pat sighed as she settled herself in Clem's coupe. The faint sound registered all the misery and sor row that had filled her heart since morning. "Me, too, Pat" Dave managed a crooked grin. He slammed the door shut, then opened it to toss out his cigaret "All set, Clem?" he asked when the sports editor lid under the wheel. Evans nodded glumly. "We must make a pretty grim trio," Dave began, trying to make his voice sound light and carefree. "Not a smile in the bunch." Neither of the other two spoke. Clem kept his eyes straight ahead. Pat's hands were tightly clasped in her lap so they wouldn't trem ble, but Dave didn't know that He had an impulse to put his arm around her, comfort her in the sadness that he knew was heart breaking. But he didn't He, too, was remembering. "This is my house, Dave," Clem Evans' voice broke in on his thoughts. "You take the car and drive Patricia home while I tell my wife you're staying here. She'll be ready for you by the time you get back." "O. K. But I hate to put you out like this. I could go down to the hotel, Clem." Clem snorted. "You do that" he said, "and Mary would make life miserable for me. If there's anything she loves, it's company. And when that company happens to be Dave Elson well, she read FUNNY BUSINESS "He likes to save the wear and tear on his last brush-; ' can'l get a priority for a new oneg THE LAST EDITION COPYRIGHT, IB 43, MEA aCRVICK, INC. your last book twice, maybe three times." Dave laughed as he got out of the car to hurry around to the driver's seat Pat heard him tell Clem he'd be right back. "You seem to be quite a hero to Clem's wife, Dave." Dave didn't say anything until he had been driving for a few seconds. The darkness hid the frown that wrinkled his forehead. "But not to you, Pat?" His words were a statement rather than a question. Pat didn't look at him. She didnt have to. She could visualize the suddenly squared jaw and the stubborn look in his eyes, "I didn't say that, Dave," sha said softly. "Not in so many words, but that's what was in your heart You cant deny that Pat" Pat was grateful for the dark ness. She bit her lips to stop their trembling. "You could never be a hero to me, Davey," she lapsed naturally into the old habit of calling him that "I know you too well." There was bitterness in his laugh. "Spoken like a true artist Pat My congratulations." "Don't be like that, Dave," she pleaded. "Not now. Not when" She smothered a sob in her hand kerchief, but it was enough to loosen the grief that had been dammed up inside her all day. "Oh, Dave, who could have done such a thing to him?" Dave couldn't answer her for the sudden tightness in his throat He just reached over and patted her hand. "Go on and have a good cry, Pat," he told her when he finally could trust himself to speak. "It'll do you good. We'll just drive around a while." He didn't say any more.

We re sorry, -he drove and thought But it did nr good. Try as he would, he coulii think of no motive for the crime and, without a motive, there could be no suspect Not when you knew as little about the case as he or the police did. a a a TAVE slowed down a little as ho nee red the house where Joe Parker had lived and died. There it was, half way down the block, big and serene and peaceful. No hint ot the tragedy that had stalked the premises last night It was then that Pat clutched his arm. "Dave," she whispered, "there's a light in Mr. Parker's study. I just saw it" "Probably the housekeeper." "She went to her sister's for the night" "Or the police." "Blair said the house was closed for the night" There was no trace of tears in her voice now. ! "Anyhow, the light flashari for a second, then disappeared. The po lice wouldn't do that" "No," he said crisply. "No, they wouldn't" Excitement always made him like that. Fat remembered. She marveled at the calmness that made him drive on down the street at the same slow pace they had been traveling and turn into a side street so that whoever was in the house would not be alarmed. "Pat, you stay here," he told her when she started to get out too. "I will notl I'm going right with you." "Come on, then." He took her arm and they hur ried across the yard toward the rear of the house. The wind seemed colder as it swirled the snow about them. Pat shivered. "Want to go back?" Dave whis pered. "No," she whispered back. "I'm just cold. There's probably a po liceman somewhere around." But Dave shook his head. "We can't wait" he said. "Whoever is in there might skedaddle." Without more ado, he tried the kitchen door. It opened easily. They tiptoed through the back rooms and the hall.

There wasn't a sound anywhere in the house. A faint odor of cigar smoke lingered in the air. Pat ab sently attributed it to the police who had been there during the day. Dave squeezed her hand in warning as he eased the door open. There was no movement in the room. The dim light from the street lamp on the corner played against the window. Dave's tense nerves relaxed .a bit as he stepped inside. Then Midvale and the whole world seemed 'suddenly to have gone into a tailspin. Bright lights danced all around him. Pat's scream sounded faint and far away. (To Bo Continued)' " ( RADAR BEAMS, AFTER THE WAR, W1LI HELP SCIENTISTS LOCATE CZSrA. fV.S.Z MINOR PLANETS- THAT WANDER ABOUT THE EARTH FAR OUT IN SPACE.
