Sam Blair nodded curtly. "This Is Miss Cleveland," he introduced Pat "She's the girl who followed Atherton. from Midvale to the bridge project." A shadow of apprehension flit ted across Rand's face and his cold gray eyes swept around the room before he spoke. "How do you do. Ma'am." There was no hint of concern in his tone. Then he turned back to the police man. "What did you want of me?" "We want you for the murder of Joe Parker and Randolph Ather ton," Dave announced quietly when. Blair hesitated. Rand whirled on his heel. "What is this?" he shot at Blair; but Blair's hand was poised over his gun. "Yes, Mr. George Rand Ather ton, the Jig is up. Blair," Dave jerked his head at the prisoner, "he's all yours. Call in your blood hounds. You see, Pat," he said to her, "we had to see if you would recognize his voice. Surprise was the only way out." "Did you say Atherton?" Pat looked her astonishment. "That's right, Pat. He's Ran dolph Atherton's brother." It was then that George Rand acted. 5 One brawny hand shot out and drew Pat in front of him, directly between him and Sam Blair's gun. The other hand flashed into his coat pocket, reappeared clutching a vicious-looking automatic. "AU right," he barked at Blair, "Don't move, any of you." t'TVOW, that's better." Rand's voice was silky with satis faction. "Don't any of you move a muscle. . . . That means you, too, Elson!" he rasped, for Dave had tensed to lunge forward. "One move and " He jabbed the gun hard into Pat's back by way of finishing the sentence. "So you did kill them?" Dave, they all knew, was making a des perate play for time. "Yeah, I killed 'em." "Mind telling us why.?" "Elson, you're so smart, suppose you tell it yourself." " "All right," Dave agreed, "I will. You and not brother Randolph have run the Atherton Construc tion Company all these years. He was just a dupe, and a badly frightened one at that So badly frightened that when he got the jitters, you killed him to save your own skin. When Joe Parker found out what had been suspected for a long time that inferior material was going into every building or bridge that your outfit put up you killed him.' But you shouldn't have written that threatening let ter on his own typewriter. That was the tip-off." He looked at George Rand. The gun was still uncomfortably close to Pat "Yes," he went on, "using Park er's own typewriter and sending those red roses to his funeral with Randolph Atherton's card " He shook his head. "It was a little too obvious, especially after your brother told Pat that he knew nothing of them." 'J'I should have finished you off that night in Parker's house, El son George Rand Atherton accented his words with a shove that whirled Pat around toward . the dining room door. - t Once outside the man darted a quick look around, then he dashed past her. Following him with her eyes, Pat saw the dim outline of a car at the back gate. Roar of the starting motor brought a mad rush from the house. With a single motion Sam Blair was behind the steering wheel of his own machine. It tore around the corner to pick up the trail. Pat found herself half smoth ered in Dave's arms. "Pat Pat" he was whispering against her hair. "Darling, you might have been killed." Darling, she thought he called me darling. A warm glow spread over her. Even her ankle felt better. fLEM, Mary, Dave and Pat went back into the house. "Dave, do you mind telling me 'just how you found out about Georee Rand?" Pat's curiosity im FUNNY BUSINESS vbiithitiwi tWe always cut out the war plant ads before we let the maid read the pacer l!?.- COPYRIGHT, NCA KRVICK. INC. mediately got the best of her. "Atherton?" He grinned sheep ishly. "Well, chicken, money works wonders sometimes. I merely sug gested to that cute redheaded bookkeeper that she should stroll out for a soda." . "And then you went through the Atherton books? So that's how a Naval Intelligence man worksl" Dave chuckled. "Sorry to dis appoint you, honey," he told her, "but Aunt Sarah Harrington gets more credit than I do. She told ma this afternoon about the tall, hand some man who waited for Mr. Parker one day and used that typewriter. So," he shrugged It off lightly, "we laid a little trap." Twenty minutes later Sam Blair returned. One look at his ruddy face told them something had hap- HANDSOME PEACOCK by Alice Brooks .

"Stop playing and get to work!" pened, . , , , . "His car went off the bridge into the river," he informed them, "He didn't have a chance." Pat sighed. "Perhaps," she whis pered, "it's better this way. There won't have to be a nasty trial or" "Or anything, darling. Just hap piness." , Pat smiled up at Dave, her blue eyes happier than they had been for a long time. Happier than they had Wen for three years. "Just happiness, Davcy." She was vaguely aware that Clem and Mary Evans and Chief Blair had gone, but it didnt matter. Nothings mattered but Dave . and their future together. , ; THE END Weeds Won't Bloom In San Francisco, a half block from branch police station, narcotic agents found a blooming "garden" of marihauna, burned the deadly "weeds."
