It vu ex actly as the had left it that morn ing, yet there was ome subtle difference. Then she saw it. The copy of "The Last Puritan," on her end table.

It was a silly thing to do, but she always turned the book upside down, so that the yellow back cover showed. Yel low blends much more harmoni ously with green and red. Some one had been in this apartment and picked up that book. Some one who had been very careful. The book was in exactly the same place she had left it, but it had been turned right side up.

She stepped back toward the foyer, a little nervous at first, and flooded the kitchen with light Then she walked to the bedroom, lighting the way before her. No body was in the apartment now, that was certain.' But somebody had been there. She was sure of it Somebody had searched the place very thoroughly. She recalled the pleasant way Sergeant Dolan had ended the interview that morning. "See here. Miss Pierce," he had said, "you've been worrying too much about this case. You need a little relaxation.
