FRIDAY, September IA; $3.50 p. m.)
In less than half an hour Man
nix arrived. Heath relinquished his
seat to the newcomer, and moved
to a large chair beneath the WIN
dowS.
Vance had taken a place at the
small table on Markham'S right
where he was able to face ManniX
obliquely.
1t was patent that ManniX did not
relish the idea of another inter
view. His little eyes shifted quickly
about the office, fingered suspicious
ly for a moment on Heath. and at
last came to rest on the district at
torney.
He was more vigilant even than
during his first visit; and his greet
ing to Markham, while fulsome, had
in it a note Of trepidation.
Nor was Markham'S air calculated
to put him at ease. 1t was an omi-
nous, indomitable public prosecutor
who motioned him to be seated.

the table, and sat down on the edge

tell you"
I'm delighted to hear it. Your
willingness makes my task easier.
First, then, please tell me where you
were at midnight Monday"
ManniX's eyes slowly contracted
until they looked like two tiny
shining disks, but otherwise the
man did not move.
After what seemed an intermin-
able pause, he spoke.
II should tell you where I was
Monday? Why should I have to
do that?. Maybe I'm suspected
of the murder-yeS?"
You're not suspected now. But
your apparent unwillingness to
answer my question is certainly
suspicious. Why don't you care to
have me know where you were?"

shrugged. Il got nothing to be

his words.
But he received no enlightenment

from Vance'S features. The warn
ing however, had been enough to
halt him.
"You don't want to know where
I was at half past ten?"
Not particularly" said Vance.
I'VE want to know where you were
at midnight. And it won't be neces-
s'ry to mention any one who saw
you at that time. When you tell us
the truth, we'll know it."
He himself had assumed the air
of wisdom and mystery that he had
deputed to Markham earlier in the
afternoon.
Without breaking faith with Alys
La FoSSe he had sowed the seeds
of doubt in Mannix'S mind.
Before the man could frame an
answer, Vance stood up and leaned
impresSively over the district at
torney'S desk.
You know a Miss Frisbee. Lives
in list Street; accurately speaking
