Sergeant Dolan to put In an appearance, nervously eager to tell him of her findings. The Utah newspapers, she felt sure, led the case definitely away from Jim gerrigan, for It proved that some--art In the house was Implicated. A sudden realization halted her Tram of thought abruptly. How aver, had she neglected to consider It before Mr. Johnson was the rta person In the house who had .the opportunity to commit ttie crime! l He had every reason to be up on "the roof at midnight, if only to .look about and see that no one was there before he locked the door 5br the night. And he was the .pnly person Cilly had seen come ut of the front door as she knelt .beside Amy on the ground! Why hadnt the realized that before? Based solely on drcum- "jtantial evidence, Cilly knew that "she could build just as conclusive case against the superintendent a Sergeant Dolan believed he could against Jim. o o TF Mr. Johnson were Just a nor- mal, simple working man, why would he pore over his morbid literature down there alone In his basement rooms? He was not suf ficiently educated to find such reading easy. Cillj remembered how methodically he had spelled out each word in the simple note he had received from Mrs. Elliot. How much more difficult, there fore, he must have found it to un derstand the technical phraseology of his literature on insanity. What curious fascination did it have for him? What horrible, distorted ideas ran through his simple mind as he slowly and painstakingly worked out paragraph after para graph? However, In spite of Mr. John son's curious literary tastes, there -was still the matter of the news papers to be explained. Appar ently they cleared the superin tendent, as they cleared Jim, of any connection with Amy's death. The funeral service for Amy Kerr was scheduled for two o'clock, so when 12:30 arrived and Sergeant Dolan had not put in his appearance, Cilly relinquished the hope of seeing him. She went in to the bedroom to change into the dull black dress. It might be that .he sergeant would stop at the -funeral parlors, if only to look over the friends and acquaint ances assembled. Through the window, Cilly saw a taxi draw up to the house and stop in front of her window. She hurried across the room to pull down the shade. Vaguely she was conscious that the car's motor continued to run .as she combed her hair and changed her dress. Someone in the house must have called and asked him to wait Few people from tie apartment ever phoned for a "taxi; it was easier to walk down ko the corner and hall one from the regular stand. You only phoned when it rained or if you had heavy bundles. Curious, Cilly raised the shade and looked out. A woman was -getting into the car; the driver itruggled to adjust two bags which he put in after her. Two large mitcases, to be exact. Cilly rec- ; agnized the woman as one of the Uenanta from above. She did not (now her by name, however. :? She thought it rather unusual tor her to be leaving the house it this time with suitcases. Hadn't Sergeant Dolan Insisted that they ill remain on hand for further questioning? So he instructed Cilly. rr a flash the truth dawned. The woman was running awayl She aras deliberately going away to ascapc Sergeant Dolan's further questioning. Quickly Cilly raised the window. "Taxi!" she called. ''Taxi!" But she was just a minute too late. The car was already moving, r-t.- umman turned around. startled by the call, then leaned forward and urged tne anver to hacta fi 11 v watched them ji..nnAD amnnH tho corner, an noyed at her own stupidity in let ting the woman gei away au smoothly.

She got into nis car imme diately. "Greenwood Funeral Parlors," she directed. As he started off, Cilly started conversation. "Quite busy this afternoon, aren't you?" she inquired. "Yeah, I am. Were you wait ing long?" 'Almost Bait an nour. Tm wwer mi. IV been rmm iha aland almost 40 minutes. Had to take a woman all the way down to me Auanuc AvenueStation." That's the Long Istand Rail road, isnt it?" "Yeah. She was In a hurry to Mlih a Train Hoinf out On the Island somewhere, I guess." Cilly felt a vague disappoint ment. Imagine trying to trace anybody who had left the Long Island Railroad station with two bags! A hundred people left on iHin, .t'.ro vntmit and there were a thousand small towns on Long Island in which to rude out. a a a "TID the woman come from the Bayview Apartments?" Cilly pursued, nevertheless. "I thought saw you pick up a fare there." "That's right," the driver agreed sffably. "She came from the same house where that girl was mur dered . . ." Cilly leaned forward m the ear. "The police will probably be asking you about it," she com mented cautiously. "I don't think they would have permitted any of the tenant to go away until tney found out who killed the girl." The taxi driver's eyes popped. "Jees!" he murmured. "I never thought of that Say, she might 'a been runnin" away, nun? 'She might have been. Do yo remember who she was?" "Sure! She phoned for me. Send a cab,' she says, "right away Bayview Apartments. You can ring my bell for me . . . Apart ment 4-B.' So I go over and ring 1-B, and she's down in a minute, with her bags. Jees! I never bought . ." Apartment 4-B. That was Mrs. Wheeler, the widow. Mrs. Wheeler, who lived alone, and saw nobody jo past her fire escape after the murder. Mrs. Wheeler had delib erately run away from Sergeant Dolan's questions. Why? Cilly thought of something else. Mrs. Wheeler might have thrown away those Utah newspapers. She, loo, might have let the murderer hide out in her apartment until the excitement had died down. . . .
