lie went on rapidly.
Matthew Hollister isn't doing
any grieving over his sisters
death. He's planning trip to Ha.
vana, going around all dressed up,
talking about spending money and
having a lively time. I've found out
that while his sister was alive Mat
thew hadn't a cent except what she
gave him-and that wasn't much
Now he's got $4,000.
"Melvina was crank, hossing
and scolding him. 1t looks TO me
as though Matthew decided he't
stood that about as long as he
wanted to. Either that OF Melvina

You mean" Coleman inter

It's happened before. hasn't IT.
There's every motive in the world
All this time the police have beer

body bothered about him. Nobody
even thought of him. He tried t
direct suspicion to his sister aftel

Why? Because he knew what he't

"He seems that way, but what dc

anyone know about him? Not q

Its only a hunch." Bannister
admitted. 81 won't pretend I've fig.
ured it all out. But he could have
done it, couldn't he? No ones
checked up his alibi for that night.
He was alone in the apartment. He
told the police he was playing the
radio. Probably he was. He could
have turned on the radio and then
slipped upstairs. No one would
need to see him. He could have
done it easily enough"
but why would he want to kill
Tracy King?

little by little. Look-suppose Hol-
lister shoots King and then goes
downstairs to his own apartment.
His sister comes in. She told the
police it was $50 when she got
there but it. might have been
earlier. Maybe she came in and
found her brother gone. She must
have known what had happened if
she did that. She must have known
what Matthew had done.
But she didn't say anything to
the police. | was there when Nc.
Neal talked to her. He couldn't get
word out of her. There was that
story about her having a row with
King after his cat killed her
canary. Nobody paid any attention
to her brother. Nobody even
thought about him"
But | still don't see" Coleman
began.
/ A PPARENTLY Bannister did not

was beginning to get scared
Afraid something was going TO get

was there she was threat to him
With her out Of the way, the rest

So he strangled her He's the only

he went out for his walk. Oh, he't

Coleman interrupted. frowning
That case you're making ou

There are a thousand holes in it.

"I'll get the proof. And you car

What are you going to do?"
There's just one thing" Ban
mister told him. We've got to find

You think that will be easy?'
Maybe not But I've an idea it's

sales Of the national parks stamps In
the parks indicated that philatelists
are not interested in first-day cancel
lations from Washington. How frail
such a contention is may be estimated
from the fact that the sale would have
been just as large had it been restrict
ed to the Nations Capital. The con-
trolling factor is the stamp, not the
place. That was made clear by the
rush for the Byrd Little America
stamp the moment it was known that
it would be sold by the Philatelic
Agency and would be valid for ordi-
nary postal use. So long as 1t was
supposed that the issue could be OBJ
tanned only from the neighborhood OF
the South Pole, there was no@ush. A
certain number of philatelists will fol-
low any stamp anywhere; few would
refuse to order from the Capital.
Granted that the parks post offices,
especially Yellowstone, with its tre-
mendous flourish outpouring, have had
a lot of philatelic business, the Cir
cumstance is not conclusive.
"A small group is conducting Q
campaign to decentralize the Gov
ernment aspect Of philately. Should
the drive succeed, it would result In
the destruction of the only reason
