The door closed with slow.
ness that robbed the act OF some
OF its discourtesy. Joslyn felt
her cheeks start to tingle and
then she realized that, after all,
the young man on the inside did
have a sensible argument in his
own behalf.
Plenty OF Time
Tomorrow would be time
enough to see the agent, if she
could remember his address. The
whole thing was lacking in salts
faction. but there was nothing
that could be done. Sleep was
much more important at the
moment, anyway.
Joslyn moved a great deal
slower as she descended the
stairs. When she stepped outside
a gust of rain blew in her face;
the air had grown colder and it
stung through her thin clothes.

; the murder of Stephen Bates, al
ready dead.
Little News
The Identification of the body
was positive. not only his well
known features. but by papers in
his pockets and marks on the
clothing. There was a rumor
that two men had been seen flee
ing the spot, but no arrests had
been made. That was all Of the
news, the rest beginning hur-
ried rehash, OF the Bates case and
q paragraph about Kelvin's career.
There is nothing that either
of US can do now" Brierhalter
said. This thing has happened,
God knows how. thought when
1 first read it that / might keep
the news from you for long
while, give you the regular edt-
tions of the papers that didn't
have the news. I might have
persuaded you that you were

crying his name in the street"
81 feel as IL an iron cap that
had been pressing on my skull
had been removed" she said,
more to herself than to Brier-
halter. "Well, you killed him."
The man colored down into mis-
collar. With all of his schooled
fortitude he was not. in the face
Of murder, invulnerable.
That's not right" ,he said.
even now I can't believe it. /
can't imagine how this hap
pened."
"Your men will tell you. He
was being held, up in Harlem,
and he thought he had a chance
to get away. They tried to stop
him, killed him. 1t was your
order"
Joslyn spoke with psychic Ger.
tainty. The fundamental facts
Of the tragedy bore out what she
felt to be true. Jim Kelvin dead
was as much a real person to
Joslyn as though he were alive.
She was thankful he had suffered
little or no physical pain. She
would, of course, never know
what mental anguish he had en-
dured during his Incarceration.
But his death was too close for
her to grasp fully that he was,
forever, removed from her life.
1t would take time for that tragic
fact to sink In.
1t was difficult for her to as
sociate Henry Brierhalter with the
act of murder: that thing seemed
to her a piece of cold brutality
that had happened anonymously.
With her mind she knew the
truth, but emotionalIy it left her
cold. No fury, no act of ven-
geance wreaked upon Brierhalter
could undo what had been done.
What was real to her still was

; The milk left In the bottle would
be sour, the broken door would
have to be repaired. As nearly
as she could remember her rent
was still paid up. But first she
would sleep. The raw nerves now
were stilling, yearning for COM
plete surrender to the stored up
necessity for rest.
The climb up the stairs was q
tax on her resources that brought
home to her how severe her Ill.
ness had been. AS she reached
her own floor she realized that
she was completely spent. The
key to the door eluded her search.
ing fingers and she tried the
knob with her hand on the off
chance that It was unlocked.
Carpenters had been there during
her absence because the door was
neatly repaired.
The INTRUDER
Subconsciously she expected to
hear Kelvin stir inside at the
sound of her coming as he had
done so many times. And then,
miraculously, some one did stir
inside.
"Yeah-who is it,"
The voice was high and inquisi-
tive, nasal in quality, after the
manner Of hard-boiled Broadway.

Joslyn saw that it would re.
quire a great deal of patience to
make the stranger understand
that he was under a misappre-
hension-that he was intruding.
There's no mistake-I'm at
the right place." she said slowly,
