Mrs. Atherton claims that the
best training any writer could pos

ambitious STORY tellers TO become
reporters first. and 10 stick at re-
porting AT least two or three years
before starting on their hoped for
profession of becoming magazine
or book writer's.
The other way is TO keep on writ

you get recognition. This may come
almost at once. or not for long
while. or not ever. But II you have
talent you are sure, or almost sure.

Near Boisseau's."

with the robbery at Boisseau's?"
THAT happens to be my affair"

my word he showed his teeth. You're
only delaying the game, son. There
are q number of ways of finding out

little spring that was dropped by
Schmerz when he was attacked-that

1t, all right"
How do you know there is any con-
nection between the camera and the
robbery, or the murders, or whatever
you have in mind?"
"I didn't know it, my boy, until you
refused to talk about it,
Then he went out and closed the
door softly behind him.
Can you beat that?
Well, they were after me, all right.
I'd meant to have dinner at the club,
as I've said, but hardly knew what to
do. I tried to telephone Martin, but
my room phone seemed to be out of
order. Just as lost my temper and
slammed the receiver up, I got a note,
hastily written on a sheet from a pen
Gil pad.
Don't use the phone. Calls
watched"
Honest, it made me creepy. 1t was
from the telephone girl downstairs.
She's a nice little thing, and L used
to send her candy at Christmas and
chaff her bit now and then. She
lost her job over that warning, by
the way, and we have her at the mill
now. Curious how things turn out!
Well, l was learning a few tricks
myself. 1 knew I'd be followed, and
there was something 1 wanted to do
that night that didn't require two of
us.
I located my man from a window in
the smokingroom. Then I telephoned
out to the country club and ordered
dinner there, using the telephone
downstairs. The operator raised her
eyebrows in surprise.
IT sent a parcel to your room, Mr..
Gray" she said
Thanks. 1 got it,

The next moment the light was

struggle, but not battle.
Then, all at once, l felt stng1ne
sensation on my cheek, and almost
instantly the ledge was silent. But
through the shrubbery something was
falling down the hill, slowly at first
then rapidly. Then a second of wait

1 put my hand to my face. 1t was

Scared? You bet I was scared.

Are you sure?"
Sure" I said. "Now forget it."
We sat there, side by side, for five
minutes Neither of us said anything,
Either there was too much to say OF
too little. I didn't know.
The town lay spread out before us
like O table set with thousand can

mill was going full. All the lamps
were on, and I saw a moving light
that I knew was the yard locomotive
1t wound in and out on it's rickety
track, and I even fancied I recognized
it's whistle. 1t looks like a pug dog,
