ward. She tried TO stop at the
ground floor, but it was only after
three attempts that she was able
to bring the cage to a position
from which she could open the
doors. She sped across the lobby
and out into the wind-swept dark
ness. There was a subway en-
trance at the corner and she ran
toward it, the wind whipping her
clothes about her. AS she entered
the subway, above the wall OF the
wind she heard the scream Of q
siren.
1t was not until after she had
boarded the subway train that she
suddenly realized her predica-
ment. She had fled from the scene
of the murder. She dared not go
home. She wanted only to get
away from everything and every
one. Drimgold was dead. Her job
had automatically terminated. She
was without funds, save for the
money which was in the purse
that had been substituted for hers.
She thought Of that sinister for
tune which had been read in the
tea leaves by the Gypsy fortune
teller. She remembered the words,
THE Murder Girl" and sickening
horror gripped her, horror which
was shortly replaced by suspicion.
Was it possible the Gypsy fortune
teller had been the one to substi-
tute the purses? Had the so-called
fortune teller been merely instru-
mental in the murder and taking
the first steps in a carefully laid
campaign to brighten Millicent in
to flight. or had some psychic sense
really warned her OF the impend-
ing danger?
Millicent left the subway at the
38th street station. A cheap hotel
displayed an electric sign. She
registered under an assumed
name. The clerk demanded cash
in advance. Millicent heSitated a
moment, then took the amount
from the coin purse. After all, 1t
would be in the nature of loan.
After a night of tortured
dreams. interpreted with fitful
periods of sleep, she awoke to
face the day. A morning news
paper told her all that the police
were willing to make public. 1t
was enough to make damning
case against her. 20 -.
Drimgold, it seemed, had tele-
phoned someone whose identity
was being kept secret by the ipo-
lice and said that he was debating
confession to his secretary. The
police knew, therefore, why Mill
cent had been working overtime.
They had traced her moves from
the time she left the tea room at
6:35, signed the register in the
elevator and was taken to the 18th
floor. The murder had been com
mitted at between 6:15 and $40.

+ approaching from behind her.
They were long-paced, masculine
steps. the steps of man who is
in a hurry.
Millicent checked an impulse
to look back over her shoulder,
checked an impulse to run. She
moved closer to the display win
dows of the department store,
hoping to reach the corner where
she could turn and be lost in the
crowd.
The steps followed behind her.
Millicent quickened her steps.
A mans voice said, "Just
minute, please" and hand
touched her on the shoulder.

rapidly from the department store.
SO the Gypsy woman had disap-
peared. Perhaps, after all, 1T was
the GYPSY woman who had ar
ranged for the substitution of the
purses. Perhaps it was the Gypsy
woman who had gone to Drlm-
COLDS office no, she was salts
fed it couldn't have been. The
fortune teller might have substi7
tuted purses-that was all.
Millicent Graves tried to COM
pose herself as she stepped out
of the department store to the
sidewalk. A newsboy thrust a pa
per in front of her.
"Police soich for moider girl"
he screamed at her. "Read about
it."
Millicent's Mortified eyes caught
sight of her picture emblazoned
upon the front page Of the news
paper.
She shook her head, turned
hurriedly away, snuggled down
into the collar of her coat, feeling
suddenly very conspicuous and
very, very helpless. Would she be
recognized from the newspaper
photograph? 1t seemed inevitable.
1t seemed that every passerby
! must recognize her. She wanted
to scream, Here | amp She
wanted to run. She wanted TO
hide. She wanted to do everything
at once.
She started walking with swift
ly nervous steps. and suddenly be-
came conscious of steps that were

employer :quarreling in the pri-
vate office and had heard Drim-
gold shout, You're firedw The
police had searched for Millicent's
shorthand notebook in which they
reasoned she must have written
Drimgold's confession. They had
searched in Mainland now they
were throwing out dragnet for
MiElicent, a dragnet which was
combing the city. " 2
Millicent took stock of the stu
alton. She was without funds OF
her own. There was some money
in the purse which had been sub
stituted for hers. From this she
had paid the hotel bill. She de-
termined to use no more of this
money. She had, she realized,
burned her bridges in a moment
of blind panic. Having once fled
from the scene of the murder, no
story that, she could now tell the
police would carry conviction.
There was only one thing she
could do-fnd the woman in black
who had substituted purses.
She left the hotel, chin up, de-
spite the weakness of her knees,
determined to fight the thing
through.
As she pushed her way through
the swinging door, a broad-shoul-
dered man entered through the
other side of the door and went
directly to the desk. Millicent re-
membered, as she reached the
sidewalk, she had forgotten to
leave her key at the desk. She
once more entered the hotel,
stepped timidly up behind the
broad-shouldered man and heard
him say, g. looking for broad

She turned; and, controlling her
steps by an effort, slipped unob-
trusively through the exit to the
street.
1t took all of her self-relianCe
to go without coffee, but she de-
cided to do so, despite the dull
ache which commenced to form
back of her eyes.
She went first to the depart
ment store where she had pur-
chased the purse.

clerk, IF you can trace for me the
purses which you have sold and

give a definite opinion as to whether

disappointed yesterday when the
rain forced officials to call off one
of the brightest Labor Day Grand
Circuit programs ever scheduled for

All afternoon the fans filed hope
fully into the stands, but the only
activities to be seen were a few
warm-up joys taken by several
horses around the inner cinders
track.
Three events scheduled for yes

crowd for Tuesday attendance is
