This Brenda enigma is deepening. In
Elsies room, after giving his opinion
OF how the murder was done, this po-
lice captain q find my aversion to him
growing turned to Brenda with a
questioning leer." He even admits that
he thinks the murderer may have been
a woman.
But what is this? DR.. Blair saw a
wen dressed young woman leave the
house about the time the crime was
committed and go in the direction Of
Broadway. 1t was on Broadway we
first met Brenda. But the doctor is
sure he would not know the woman IL
he were to see her again.
Notwithstanding Captain Neale's in
nuendoes, Brenda bears herself admi-
rably. 1t is true that she contradicts
herself, but all Of us do that some
times. And that police captain with
the ape arms is so horrldl But would
like to know why Brenda Is so much
interested in Elsie, whom she has never
seen. Perhaps the next chapter will
tell.
