much before 2. but after that. until
dawn, 1t was crowded. and Peter found
the people there more amusing and
more agreeable, generally, than In any
Of the other night clubs.
Emma's was q queer place to look at
There were two rooms-one small and
one smaller. The first had q dance
floor and a melancholy, useless orches-
ira, but they little knew of Emma's
who had to stay in there. The bar was
the real Emma's.
That was in tiny, practically air
proof room, with few tables for those
who couldn't find room for their glasses
on the bar itself or for themselves on
the stools ranged before it. There was
a very bad cabaret show In the other
room, but Emma herself, q high yellow
wench, who had made something of q
sensation in Paris, sang in the bar at
intervals, to the accompaniment Of q
guitar, and she was. people told Peter.

Broadway was only a half block away
as the taxis ran, but 1t might have been
in another city; the real Broadway
types didn't favor Emma's; probably
weren't wanted there.
Peter liked the place, though he
couldn't quite say why. He was talking
one night to a girl who thought 1t
ought to bore him, trying to explain
why it didn't.
'well-" he said. "Oh. don't
know, Betty Look at that chap over
ing to. You wouldn't expect to see him
here. either, would you?"
This man had been puzZling Peter
for half an hour. He was a Jew, about
40 years old, with an inscrutable face
and eyes as hard to read as any Peter
had ever seen. Though he was short,
he had a big head and a high forehead
that looked all the higher because ne
was so nearly bald. Mysterious though
his eyes were, they weren't unpleasant:
they were, in fact, the beautiful, soft
brown eyes so many Jews do have, and
they took in the room with sort OF
tolerant pity His features were Sensi-
tive and finely cut. Bettey Rogers
looked over at him and laughed

Peter had heard of DR.. Zahn, Of
course. He was the last word in his
own peculiar branch of the medical
profession, a pupil Of Freud's, big
man. And Peter supposed that psy-

able to pay his fees-might very well

ical experience. Zahn turned just then
and caught Peter staring at him, and
Peter looked away quickly just in time
to see Martha Thayer for the first time
in his life.

had been the end, and the wretched.
pitiful end of a sorry and wasteful his
tory. Peter pitied Tack as he sat there;
pitied him, he thought, as much as he
worried about Martha. He knew at that
time much more than did Connolly,
much more than nearly any one, about
those two and the queer life they'd lived
together, but his knowledge, even so,
was confused. one-sided, grotesquely in
adequate and incomplete.
Peter had known Tack Thayer for
years, as he had told Charley, truth
fully enough. but not quite accurately
But he'd seen Martha for the first time
only few months before, and it was of
that meeting that he thought now, and
of the crazy kaleidoscope pattern the
intervening months had been.
He'd known Tack first at New Haven.
but as Tack had come in as an arts
freshman. when Peter was Q senior in
Shelf, they hadn't really known one
another at all. Yet he had remembered
him, because Tack had been far more
conspicuous figure than the average

freshman ever is. He'd been a famous
track and foot ball star at Exeter; in
college he came to be as noted as Ted
Coy or Frank Hinkey had ever been in
their time.
Peter went West after his graduation,
and New York saw him for several years
only about once every six months, and
then only for o day or so at time. He
must have run into Tack, Peter sup
posed, on those visits, at the club, or at
parties. but he never really got to know
him. He knew all about him, though;
every one who read the newspapers did.
He knew that Tack had been passed
over twice, In the final phase Of choos-
ing the international polo team, and he'd
heard that thaAwas because he wouldn't
stop drinking long enough to train seri-
ously. And he'd read, too, Of his mar
riage to Martha.
During those years OF his absence
from New York Peter was working, OF
course, doing chemical research in the
laboratories Of big industrial corpora
ton, which Is, generally speaking, about
as colorful and exciting as keeping
books in O bank, especially when, as in
Peters case, the work was wholly COM
m6rcial. But he stumbled across a
promising lead once, and the people he
worked for were decent about letting

things about him that were superficial,
non essential. He had to respect the
mans underlying quality. These men
might or might not have already some
evidence that actually seemed to point
to Marthas guilt; he didn't know. But
whether that was so or not, he was
afraid, o little more than afraid, in
deed, that as they went on they would
find just such evidence-interpreted as
they were bound TO interpret 1t. And
that fear grew out Of matters within
his own knowledge.
Peter didn't think, Of course, even for
the fraction Of q second, that Martha
had killed Tack. That was fatty i'm
possible. But 1t was one thing for
Peter to know that, and it might prove,
in a very terrible way, indeed, to be
quite another to convince Connolly and
the rest Of the pack. As yet, Of course,
Peter didn't know what they had in the
way Of evidence or of what they re-
garded as evidence; they'd given him no
opportunity to learn even the bare
facts.
What Peter did know, though. and
what, he assumed, Connolly could
hardly help finding out, was that what
ever really had happened that night on
the roof wasn't the beginning of the
story. For poor old Tack, Of course, 1t

per reading, to understand that the po-
lice practically always did start when a
wife or q husband had been MUIR
dered, with the assumption that the
survivor was guilty
1t seemed silly at first blush, but
when you thought it over it wasn't. The
police in drawing that ready and facile
conclusion were right oftener than they
were wrong.
AS Peter sat there, thinking, remem-
bering. trying to get things straight in
his own mind, trying to anticipate what
was to come, and to be prepared for it,
he couldn't simply dismiss Connolly as
the traditional thick-headed, heavy
footed policeman of the detective
stories. He hated and despised Char
ley the sullen, ugly detective, but his
contempt was for his manners, for
