Although he had come in a full

Nancy could not mistake that firm
decisive tread on the stairs-he kept
the two women waiting half an hour
in the bleak drawing room
Nancy shiyered in her low-cut
gown and wandered restlessly
around the huge apartment, touch
ing the conventional ornaments on
the tables, pausing to bury her face
in a cluster Of superb roses, as stiff
and scentless as the room which
they adorned.
Edith sat quietly in the high
carved chair as she had done the
night before. Her hands lay list
lessIy folded in her lap, but her
spasmodic efforts at conversation
and her constant glances toward the
door betrayed her nervousness.

Nancy turned away to hide her
smile.
Il should have expected better
than that of you" she thought
That was only worthy OF .schoolboy
pique."
Edith was looking troubled, so
Nancy eIerted herself to be nice
during dinner. She was her most
yivacioUs, her most fattering. She
looked at Edith's husband with the
eyes of an adoring schoolgirl at a
matinee idol. She asked question
after question that wSs designed to
lead him into long personal dis
courses.
But the doctor was unresponsive.
He answered her questions with an
air of polite WEAKNESS that Nancy
found enraging. His voice was as
crisp and professional as he would
use to q refractory patient. He had
no smile for the pretty glowing
eager face across the table.
Except for Edith. who was look
ing distressed, Nancy would have
abandoned the effort after the first
failure. But, conscious that she
was, in a way, responsible for the
situation, she was stubbornly de-

to Edith and do it for her. It's evil

herself and 1 owe him something

When they went into the drawing
room after dinner, the doctor ex-
cused himself. A few minutes later
Nancy heard the street door slam
and the sound of a motor starting.
A little sound from Edith made
her turn quickly.
Edith was resting her head
against the uncomfortable back of
the high carved chair. Her cheek
was pressed into it's sharp carved
surface until the taut skin showed
white. The little sound that had
escaped her was half a sigh. half a
sob.

Deductions ofHarvey Hunt
By Philip Francis Nowlan.

The second key and the miss
ing express package formed
combination that might have
feazed better man than Har-
Sey Hunt. Guilt lay between
two men and Hunt eliminated
one instantly. How he fastened
guilt on the other is worth read
ing about below.
HARVEY HUNT admitted, in the
IL case of The Second Key" that
the assistant express agent, Gross,
could not have taken a wax impress
sion of the key, for Meath was
watching him closely and saw that
he had nothing in his hand but L
piece OF paper, that he had no
lump of wax, and also saw that
there was no wax sticking to the
key when Gross returned it to him.
NeVerthele IS | e had taken an i'm
preston of the key under Meaths
eyes. 1t wasn't a wax impression.
1t was a paper impression.
If a key to the ordinary type of
lock with which doors are equipped
is squeezed in the hand with a piece
of paper it will leave an impression
on it sufficiently good to serve ds a
guide in making a duplicate.
With such a key Gross could
easily have slipped to the safe,
opened it and distracted the bundle
OF currency in the very few seconds
it took Meath to walk down the
PLATFORM to look\at the station clock
and come back. and, of course. he
could have carried the package out
under his coat when he went to
lunch.
Can you solve this problem
