Griff regarded her with stare
which was not unkindly.
Don't you think" he said,
"you have carried this quite far
enough, Miss Ordway?"
what are you talking about?"
she gasped.
"You know what I'm talking
about" he said. you're Esther
Ordway. There never was any
Alice Lorton. You just took that
name in order to give Esther
Ordway a chance to disappear.
You betrayed yourself just now,

but. mainly, you showed your
relief when l mentioned that the
name of Alice Lorton was writ

knew that it couldn't have been,

after Morden had been killed"
She took the cigaret from her
lips, tried to knock off the ash

aret dropped from the nerveless
fingers to the carpeted floor. Her
face was a dead-white, her lips
pale, the eyes wide and startled.
Griff picked up the cigaret,
pinched out the end and dropped

"The fact that you've been

the type of clothes that would be

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER Xxx

Alice Lorton answered Griff's
third ring at the doorbell. She
was attired in pajamas, slippers,
and a kimona. Her wide, inno-
cent, blue eyes stared at Griff in
startled appraisal, and then her
lips broke into smile" "' 49,
ooh" she said in throaty tone
Its you" 49,. =. -
Eyes, Griff said.a"I'm sorry I
disturbed you, but I've got to ask
you few more questions"
Come in," she said. '1
Griff entered the apartment.
The windows were open and a
night wind whipped the lace cur
tains about. Alice Lortony went
to the windows, closed them, shiv-
cred slightly and dropped into an
overstuffed chair, curling her feet
up in under her.
"What time is it," she asked.
'Not very late" he told her.
Somewhere around midnight"
81 guess I'd just dropped off to
Sleep" she said and yawned.
Griff took a cigaret case from
his pocket, extended it to her. She
hesitated for a moment, then took
a cigaret. Griff took one and held
a match to the tip of the girls
cigaret. -, Just as the flame illu-
minated her countenance, he said
casually. "You knew Cathay was
dead, of course?"
The girls face stiffened into
rigid immobility. She remained
perfectly still, the flame from the
match blackening the paper tip of
the cigaret. She did not inhale
the smoke.
Griff watched her with narrow
ed eyes.
After a moment she sucked a
deep inhalation and expelled a
cloud of smoke, drew back from
the flame OF the match and set
tied down in the chair.
Who" she asked, ''is Cathay?"
"a man in Riverview," Griff
said.
81 didn't know him." she said
"What did he die of? Was he a
friend of Esther's?"
"And then, Of course" Griff
went on, "Morden is dead"

'Did you know him " asked
Griff.
She shook her head.
'Never saw him before?"
'No," she said. Why
eve have reason to believe that
he was here in the apartment the
day he was murdered"
She looked at him with wide,
startled eyes. She made a first
with her right hand and pressed
it against her lips.

voice.
"And you're certain you'd never
seen him." asked Griff.
"I'm certain" she said.
Griff stared searchingly at her.
