He looked at Clem, who was standing beside him, and Clem shook his head, bewildered. Pat stood up. She still looked little frightened, for she knew this discovery opened up new possi bilities. Who would have used Joe Parker's own typewriter for such a note? "Here, one of you try it," she urged. Clem, a grim expression on his face, slid into the chair. He tried out all sorts of combinations, but still it was there. The 'i" struck the paper a bit lower than the other letters, giving the typed copy a ragged appearance. "Now what?" Pat asked abruptly. Dave walked over to the win dow and stared out into the wind swept night, while the others waited in expectant silence. For a long minute he stood there, then he whirled on his heel. "Aunt Sarah!" he yeUed. "Oh, Aunt Sarah!" "Do you think she might know?" A thread of fear crept into Pat's voice even though she tried to suppress it "She can at least tell us who has been here lately," Dave answered shortly. "Clem," he turned to the other man, "call the police. Blair should be in on this." "Right, Dave." Evans hurried out of the room, colliding with Mrs. Harrington at the door. "What in the world, Davey?" The housekeeper was drying her hands on her voluminous apron. She looked from Dave to Pat and Mary Evans, and back to Dave again. "What is it?" she repeated. Dave told her, even showed her the paper on which they had typed the incriminating letters. "Well, glory be!" she breathed. "Don't that beat all!" "Do you have any suspicions, Aunt Sarah?" Pat asked her when she saw Dave hesitate. "That's what we'd like to know now." Mrs. Harrington frowned down at the old typewriter. She shook her head slowly, almost hope lessly. . . . a CAM BLAIR swore at the biting wind as he went out to his car. He hated these night calls, espe cially In such vile weather, but his desk sergeant had told him that Clem Evans had called from Parker's house. There was some thing about new evidence, but the sergeant was vague about that Probably Evans had not told him. Sam Blair drove slowly, for the streets were just slick enough to make driving difficult If he speeded up too much, he might not be able to stop if-he bad to, and he had no intention of eareen ; ing into some unfortunate pedes trian. He had passed several of them with their heads bent against the wind in such a way that he knew they could not keep a wary eye on the traffic Confound such a night anyhow! The Parker house was across town a good ten minutes' drive from where Blair lived, and the officer had a chance to repeat to himself for the nth time all he had been able to find out which was practically nothing, he admit ted grudgingly. How, he asked himself, could he find the killer when the knife didn't have a fingerprint on it? When Joe Parker had no enemies? When He yawned. He could al most hear the desk sergeant say ing. "It's a grand life if you don't weaken," as he always did when things went wrong. He held his watch up as he passed a street light. "Eight forty-five," he said aloud. "That's not bad. I may get home . yet in time for the 10 o'clock news." THE Parker house loomed up ahead of him, big and safe and secure. Only it hadn't been that at all for Joe Parker.

Blair dodged the wildly swaying sprig of a japonica bush that seemed like an ordinary wild shrub now that it was stripped of its leaves and bright flowers. He started up the steps at the end of the porch and stopped in his tracks.

He scrutinized the clump of cedar that stood near the study window at the opposite end of the porch. Then the wind sighed through the branches again and he decided that he was wrong. It must havo been the wind. "I'm Jittery as an old settin' hen," he thought glumly, stomp ing across the porch' to the door. Later he said it was intuition that made him glance over his shoulder, but he really never knew. Sight of the fleeting shadow that could not have been a sway ing bough left no room for any thing else. He sprinted toward the trees. He found only footprints but YOU DONT NEED CASH .
