Sergeant Mahoney put a kind
" hand on her shoulders. His
left hand took the gun from her
cold fingers. 49,
Pm sorry," he said, chat we
had to make such a test, but l
felt certain you didn't know how
to use O. gun. The person who
Killed Harry Fielding was an eN-
pert pistol shot. There were no
powder marks on the body, indi-
eating that the person must have
teen some little distance away,
yet the SINGLE shot sped true and
straight. ..
81 handed you this gun a little
while ago and the way you start
ed to reach for it convinced me
YOU didn't know anything at all
about shooting"
81 d-d-d-don't," Millicent said.
"a never had my hands on a
g-g-g-gun." ,,..
That's al right, sister," he
told her, patting her back. Go
ahead and cry if you feel like it.
1t was a mean thing for me to
do, but I warned you my methods
are unconventional. | don't pay
much attention to the clews that
other detectives rely on. My
methods are my own. Sometimes
they're rather drastic"
= = So;
Mi!licent liked the feel of his
arm about her shoulders.
For q moment or two she gave
way to tears. Then, as the ten
sion was relieved, she straight
ended, dabbcd at her eyes with
her handkerchief, arranged her
hair with the tips of her fingers,
and laughed nervously.
"What u baby you must think
l am" she said.
Indeed we do not" Sergeant
| Mahonev told her. you're one
of the gamest little troupers I've
ever encountered. Buchanan made
a realistic lob of that attack, and
it was terrific shock to you,
coming on top Of other things
you've had to contend with"
She stood up, crossed to the
mirror, dabbed powder on her
face and touched her hair with a
comb.
'Now then" Sergeant Mahoney
said, 'Fet me give you my impress

convinced that you went out IN

YOU ran out of gas, and walked
back home. | think your clothes

However, I don't think you
had anything to do with Harry
Felding's death. There's a poSsi-
bility that you went to his room
after his death. There's also a
possibility that you were there
before his death end that some
one shot him while YOU were
present. The more l think of the
case the more I'm inclined to that
latter theory. l am wondering
| if there wasn't something be-
tween you and Harry Fielding
something in your past history
that would account for a rela-
tionship between YOU. | am Won
dering if you DIDN'T go into his
room to see him; if, perhaps, you
weren't either taking with him
or perhaps embracing him when
some other woman, actuated by
jealousy, fired a shot and killed
him.
What have you to say to
| that?"
| She was fast recovering her
self-posession. a." she said,
"have nothing to say to any
thing"
"Silence will be taken as an
admission of guilt" Buchanan
said and started to say more, but
Sergeant Mahoney whirled on
him. keep out of this if YOU
will, please, Detective. | seldom
interrupt another mans question
ing and 1 don't like another man
to interrupt mine" ..
He turned once more to stare
steadily ct Millicent.
"I'm going to tel you some
thing" he said ominously. Pm
going to check up on your past
record. Pm going to Dig into it
and find out where you were and
what you were doing every min
ute Of the time during the past
five years. Pm going to find out
where you worked, where you
lived, who your friends were, who
wrote to you, and to whom you
wrote. I'm going TO put your
life under miscroscope and,
when / do that, | think Pm going
to uncover something that will
point to an affair of some sort
between you and the dead chauf-
feur. Does that mean anything
to you?"
Millicent felt as though her
heart had become a chunk of
lead. She knew this very cap
able detective wouldn't be fooled
by any casual faisehoods which
Mr.. Happ might think up in or
der to give her a fictitious back
ground to, accoutn for her past
history. She knew this detective
would make a microscopic investi-
CATION and that, within a day or
two, at the most, he would be
able to pierce the secret Of her
past, but she tried to smile at
him bravely and said, 81 will give
! you my word OF honor, Sergeant,
that | never saw, heard from, or
knew Harry Fielding until the
afternoon of the day prior to his
murder" ,- -..F.
"But you went to his room for
something" Sergeant Mahoney
said.
/ She clamped her lips together
and said, '1'm sorry l made that
statement. l had resolved that
i wouldn't tell you anything.
However, l wanted to save you a
lot of work"
Don't bother about saving me
work." he said. 81 like it."
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1935-04-13

His eyes surveyed her in ana
lytical appraisal. Abruptly he got
to his feet.
"I've got some trumps in my
hand" he told her, "but you've
got just enough cards of your
own so that | can't take all the
tricks if l play mine now. Pm
warning you that Pm going out
and get some more trumps."
"Go ahead" she told him de-
family.
Sergeant Mahoney nodded to
Detective Buchanan. Together,
the two men started for the door.
With his hand on the door
knob, Sergeant Mahoney paused,
frowned at her, and asked quick
ly, eff you went in there after
he had been murdered and weren't
party to the murder, why didn't
you give the alarm?"
She smiled, but said nothing.
Sergeant Mahoney jerkey the
door open.
Come on, Buchanan" he said,
AS the door closed behind them,
Miiilcent felt almost hysterical.
She wished that she had a drink
of that whisky.
Thinking of the whisky made
her think Of the manner in which
Buchanan had written down the
name of the brand on a piece of
paper and passed it across to Ma
honey. She remembered Sergeant
Mahoney had placed that piece
of paper down beside the gun.
She looked across to the table on
which the run had reposed and
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1935-04-13

saw that the paper was still there.
She picked it up, unfolded 1t ana
observed that Buchanan had done
lust as he had been ordered. he
had written only the name Of the
brand of whisky.
A knock at the door startled
her. She opened a drawer in the
table, dropped the folded paper
into it and called, "Who is it,"
There was no answer other
than a twisting of the door knob.
The door opened and Bob Case
stood on the threshold. His face
was gri mand purposeful. Gently
he closed the door, stared stead
lily at her, and demanded, "Where
is that shorthand notebook in
which YOU took Drimgold's con-
fession?"
Il don't know what you're
talking about" Millicent managed
to say.
eth hell you don'tw he re-
marked ,grimly, pulling watch
from his pocket. either I get
that notebook or | call Sergeant
Mahoney in here and tell him
just who you are. You've got 80
seconds to make up your mind"
Millicent felt like a trapped
animal. She looked hurriedly
about the room. She wanted to
run, wanted some method Of
| escape.
But Bob Caise stood between
her and the door, his legs wide
spread, his shoulders squared, his
jaw thrust belligerently forward.
In his hand he held a watch.
Millicent could hear the tick

Suddenly Millicent's eyes fast

Mahoney had handed her and
which still lay on the table by
her bed. She jumped toward it,
grabbed it in her hand and
screamed, Get back or III

The masked man froze into i'm

around the barrel, but she was
careful to keep the muzzle point

showed her Detective Buchanan's
rather crestfallen countenance.

said.
"She might have been stalling,' y
Buchanan remarked.
