Finding tha typewriter. The footprints in tha now. None of it made sense. She' threw back the covers and treated herself to a luxurious stretch while her bare feet ex plored the floor for her fluffy pink Uppers, then she hurried down the hall to the shower. - - "Hurry up, Sis. Mom says your breakfast wont wait much long er." Jerry Cleveland gave the door resounding thump with his knuckles as he passed. Back in her room again. Pi tricia took her new dress, a navy blue sheer wool, from the closet. The dress really did things for her, or so the salesgirl had said. Maybe it would help this morning, when the world looked so black. She went downstairs to breakfast, her coat draped over her arm. "Shades of Cleopatra! Sis, you sure are spruced up. Jerry looked up from the alge bra problem he was trying to fin ish at the last minute, along with eating his breakfast Pat smiled. When she didn't say anything. Jerry went on: "How come you never wore that to the office before?" he asked, mischievous imp dancing in his eyes. "Before Dave Elson came back to town, I mean." "Finish your algebra, sonny bov." Pat ordered, "or Miss Parks will flunk you again this month. Not that I'd blame her." - . CLOW though it might be, Dave Elson felt that they were mak ing progress on the case. He told Clem Evans so when he and the sports writer were driving to work, i Clem offered him a cigaret and took one himself. He leaned over -while Dave held a match for him. He took a few quick puffs, then: "You have a hunch, Dave." Just like that A quiet state ment that left Dave no room for denial. He nodded. "What? Or may I ask?" "Is the Atherton Construction Company on the level, Clem?" Evans 'started at the bluntness of Dave's question. He slowed the car a little, held tighter to the wheel. "This may be story-book stuff, Clem, and it may not work, but you know Randolph Atherton and Parker never did get along. And there have been suspicions before that all the materials that went Into the Atherton projects were not the best" , "All of which means nothing, Dave. Randolph Atherton has a standing in this community. He wouldn't throw it all overboard and kill a man." "Would he send flowers to Parker's funeral and a card that said, .He was a great man and a true friend to all who knew him'?" Dave flashed back. "Would he?" Clem was plainly stumped. Ht concentrated on his driving for a few seconds. "I don't know," he finally ad mitted. "That doesn't sound like him." "I'll say it doesn't Nope, Clem, the way I figure it, he. killed Parker to keep him from running a story about some crookedness or other. That's what the boss was working on that night It must be, or it wouldn't have dis appeared. I think 111 snoop around a bit." . "Better do your snooping with the police," Clem cautioned. "It might be healthier, even if it isn't so exciting." a rpiME flew that day. Patricia A wrote her personal items, par ties, club doings, and numerous other stories with an ease that amazed her. She had thought that never again would she be able to get satisfaction and happiness out of the work that had meant so much to her, but now Joe Parker's training and faith stood her in FUNNY BUSINESS .j.1TfH'vcr....itlliif f, Jkt,trT,8rrwIV JSSS&xr-r "JVe liqvfc to compete eonymoHT, teas, NIA SKVIC.

"Gosh, you look scrumptious, Pat," he had said, and Clem had Joined in: "He means you're beautiful this morning, Patricia." Pat smiled, remembering. The paper was out and she was alone in the news room. Clem and Dave had gone somewhere, probably to the cigar store across the street. "Sorry to interrupt, Miss Cleve land, but may I come in?"

Nobody ever asked to enter the news room; they Just walked in like they belonged there. "Oh, heUo, Mr. Atherton." "The county commissioners passed a resolution on Parker's death at their meeting this after noon. They asked me to leave a copy of it here." "Thank you a lot" Pat smiled, "We'll run it tomorrow, sure," Atherton nodded curtly. He started to leave. "Mr. Atherton," Pat said, and he turned. 'Thank you for the lovely roses. And the card. Those words meant a lot to all of us." The man hesitated a moment. Pat thought he was angry. "My dear," he told her, "you must be mistaken. I sent no flow ers."
