 She broke off, shuddering. and began to weep again. took her firmly by the shoulders.
 Now see here. Lucy, Crying won't get Jerry out of this mess. You must buck up and show us the kind of stuff you are made of"
 And book up she did. forthwith. drying her eyes on spiders web Of handkerchief that wouldn't have stopped my ear.
 Nothing has happened to Jerry yet. and if we keep our heads nothing will. Give me those geys."

 He flashed his disconcertinA stare at me.

 Lucy gave 2 sob of relief. but she was too overcome to do more than whisper some incoherent ex- precision of her gratitude.

 We are not afraid. MT. Mac Nair." she assured him bravely.
 Do you believe from what I have told you that Jerry Ogden killed his father?" Lucy Winced at my question, but it had to be asked.
 Why shouldn't I?" he returned with such brutal directness that Lucy gave a cry of pain. Hub bard heard him talking to his fa- ther shortly after nine. You and Stimson saw him running as if for his life two minutes after the thing was done. If it had been any one else you had seen racing along that walk you'd have known who killed Ogden."
 The mans cynicism appalled, me.
 What about the possibility that somebody else was wearing Jerry's $ clothes, that somebody else dropped lis keys?" I ventured. II didn't see Jerry's face, remember"
 MacNair laughed. Why should it be somebody else? Because you want t to be. Well, never mind that" He lighted cigarette. See here, Peebles. It looks as if young Ogden killed his father. But I am not starting out on the assumption that he did. I'll draw my conclu- sions . later"

 ''On good terms with his father?' "Of course. They had their diff ferences. expect'' For instance." The question came so abruptly that ] Was startled. So was Lucy, the color flaming into her white cheeks. Both of us were thinking

 He grinned mirthlessly. ''lts be- come a probability, has it? You'd better sleep on what I said about fixing the responsibility. l meant it. If you want me to drop the case say so in the morning."
 Lucy answered him. We are not afraid of the truth, Mr. Mac Nair." ~~
 He nodded. T shall want to see that Peterson revolver, so don't turn it over to Deacon yet"
 With this he let us out into the darkness.
 It was half-past-two when I got into bed. My mind was going round and round like an endless phono- graph record and felt as if could never sleep again.

 And then. suddenly, was wide awake. again. Some slight noise must have aroused me. but my first thought was that I had neglected to do something. An, yes! I had put Polyandria out and forgotten to let he: in again But sense of ''Wrongness" persisted in my mind I was on the point of sliding out of bed when a weighty object land ed with q thump on my abdomen. Alarmed, I put out my hand, felt silky fur. and laughed.
 ''Polyandria. Where did you come from?"
 The question disturbed ne, lf I had left Polvandria locked out how had she got in? Putting her aside.

Suddenly Lucy took my face be- tween her hands: her eyes were alight.
 What is it. dear?'
 Luther MacNair. the detective. Uncle John! You must get him to take the case for Jerry!!"
 'MacNair!" I cried, aghast.
 Why not? You told me he :s known all over the country. You said he solved nearly every case he undertook
 ''MacNair has retired" I ob- jected. He'd probably refuse to help us."
 But he mightn't," Lucy pleaded.

 She slipped to her feet and stood facing ne pityingly. hands on her slender hips. You'd make fine detective! Don't you know they always get on the ground at once: If you don't come with me this minute. Uncle John. I'll so alone."
 That settled it, of course Mac Nair's house is a shabby old stucco place set in a lovely garden two blocks below ours. He vas having sun porch built on to it and we had to pick our way through tumble of builders materials. Lucy rang the bell and soon we heard footsteps in the hall. A light snapped on. the door was flung open and Luther AiacNair stood before us. He was none tos pleased to see us.
 Hello, there" he srowled, T was just going to bed"
 T am sorry to disturb you at this hour" I said apologctically. But the reason of our call is rather serious. This is my niece, Lucy. Mir. MacNair, Lucy. We are dreadfully upset about this tragic affair at the Ogdehs'. The police seem to think Ogden's son. Jerry, had something to do with it."

 He seemed to think rapidly for minute.
