toned. 1t was easy to under
stand why newspapers assailed
the sorely-tried officials.
Robin Dale had found it ut
terly impossible to advance his
own theory Of the crime until
the propitious moment arrived.
This opportunity finally came
about 10 days after the crime
had been committed. It devel-
oped in rather a peculiar man
ner. Rex ForSythe, who rarely
discussed the tragedy with Dale,
offered the reporter the oppor-
tunity he had been seeking.
There's going to be private
running of Irma's best picture
at the studio tonight, Dale" said
Forsythe upon his arrival from
a day on location. II suppose,
after the tragedy Of her death,
the picture will never be re-
leased. And / believe that's the
better course. Would you like to
see it?"
I'm rather anxious to. It's
the film titled Failing Star
isn't it?"
"Odd about the irony in that
title, as things turned out. And
I had looked forward to many
many pleasant recollections be.
ing twined about the story when
I began work on it. If one felt
inclined one could coin an cpl
gram about the playthings of
destiny"
Who do you imagine killed
Irma GLADDEN., Forsythe?"
IF I had but one guess in the
matter I'd say Robert Worth,
her first husband"
"I'm inclined to believe it's
someone who desired to become
her husband"
That covers a vast amount
Of territory. Dale" said For
sythe with a faint smile.
Nearly every one of the sus-
poets was prompted by that
desire, and there are probably
many, many others outside the
circle of the tragedy who felt
the same way"
1--WE formed a theory, For
sythe, which requires only one
or two factors for complete
SubstantiatiOn. I believe those
points will be cleared up within
a very short time. I'd like to
discuss it with, you then and
get the benefit Of your calcu-
lationS."
''Of course. Dale-I'd be more
than interested. You can I'm.
derstand that now, old man,
for you've probably learned
how I felt toward the lady"
Dale nodded and put his hand
affectionately about his friends
shoulder, expressing thus more
than he could have said in
words. At 9 o'clock they left

CHAPTER u

RaQuel waited. Dusk was
drawing curtains across the
windows Of the room in which
she sat, creeping into the cor
ners, Seeping into her heart and
across her soul.
A woman in q Starched white
dress that cracked and q mite
Of a cap that perched perilously
on the top Of her blonde hair
came into the room and
switched on the lights.
"Dr. Logan will see you in
q few minutes" she said to
RaQuel.
RaQuel moistened her lips.
They were dry and stuck to her
teeth. She felt so queer in the
head, so giddy that she held to
the arms Of the chair in which
she sat to steady herself. She
hoped the blonde-haired woman
didn't notice. And she was
glad Of those few minutes the
woman promised. She felt too
weak to rise.
Almost at once, it seemed,
the woman was back.
DIR. Logan will see you now"
