Donetta and Gerry swept
through to a triumpl.al finish

"Look!" she gasped. "Over

a girlish rush.
The two slim, graceful figures
turned to leave the floor.

started toward them.

"Roger Thornley,, Of course.

Of Donetta. A flash Of something

in a voice that he strove to make

Bewildered
Inspector Ingles turned from
the phone and looked at Law.
renee Vane-his eyes were hard
and bitter.
80, that body isn't the body of
your wife, eh?" he sneered. "Well,
you'll have to think up a better
one than that. You just heard
me answer the phone, and I
guess you know we'll enough what
the report was they gave me
Isobel's mother has been down
to the morgue and has identified
the body, beyond a shadow Of a
doubt, as that Of her daughter. "
"Her mother?" he reueated.
''Tsobel's mother? Why. she al
ways told me that both her par.
ents were dead. She said they
died when she was a tiny thing
in an accident Of some sort. She'd
always been on her own. That
was one Of the reasons one felt
so sorry for her"
"Well, her mother isn't dead
that was just one Of her stories
to make men sorry for her, "
snapped 1ngles.
A short time before Vane had
flared out at the inspector when
he had spoken in a derogatory
manner of 1Sobel'S character
now, however, the look Of be-
wilderment remained. and no
anger came into his eyes.
"Her mother" he repeated
duly. "And she's identified the
body"
"This makes it look worse than
ever for you," Ingles said bluntly.
Cyrus K. Mantel had sat quietly
during this scene, gently stroking
his right eyebrow with his pince'

well, it's true. though not
cheerful" Yngles persisted. you'll
have to agree with me that things
look worse than ever with this
new development-the only chance
he had was in making his story
stick that the body was not that
Of his wife. Now he hasn't a
chance"
II do not agree with you at
ALL" said Cyrus K. gently.
you don't agree that a definite
Identification of the body as that
of Isobel makes it worse for
Vane?" Ingles argued.
Eyes. I agree with you there. "
"Well then" triumphed IngleS,
surely this is definite enough.
Her mother ought to know"
Eyes. Her mother ought to
know" Cyrus K. was mild. But
I repeat, Mr.. 1ngles, that I do not
agree with you'll"
Anything more you want from
me right now, Mr.. Mantel?"
Eyes. I'd be very happy if you
would call up your expert, and get
the report on those finger prints
we're interested in"
Sure. I'll do it right away
he ought to be ready with it by
now"
Ingles took up the telephone
again-as he did so, a whimsical
thought came into the mind Of
Cyrus K. Mantel.
What a dreadful instrument
that little innocent black contrap-
ton was, to be sure-worse by
far than any torture appliance OF
the days of Torquemada-the
Spanish Inquisition in their most
fertile moments had never in.
vented anything quite so tragical-
ly terrible as this-for in those
days Of horror unspeakable, at
least the victim knew, when he
was faced with the instrument Of
torture, what was in store for
him. The element Of suspense
was totally removed, whereas,
with this modern instrument. the
poor victim never knew what to
expect when he touched It.
Ingles' voice brought him out Of
these thoughts.
Wrong Prints
"Hullo! Ingles speaking. Put
me through to jenkins, finger
print department. Hello! jenkins?
Have you got your report ready on
the Vane case?. That's fine.
Only two good prints, you say
Yes. yes. / know it was a very
small bottle. What's that?. e.
Are you Sure?. You went to the
morgue and tested in person?
That's rather queer! Okay Jen'
kins, you can send the written
report to my office. Thanks
Good-by."
He hung up the receiver, and
turned slowly toward the two
others.
"I'll be damned!" he said slowly,
"Quite likely, quite likely,
smiled Cyrus K. "A great many
Of US will be, my dear chap-but
few of us have the good sense to
know it beforehand as you do
But-would you mind telling us
just why you are so sure Of 1t at
the moment?"
IN be damned" he repeated
to himself. Then he glanced UP
and stared at Mantel.
THAT report Of Jenkins" he
told him. I'VE fingerprinted Vane
here, when we put him in the
Tombs-and Jenkins says the
prints on the bottle are not his.
That's not so surprising, Of course,
as we thought they were a
woman's. But then he went down
to the morgue himself-wouldn't
trust any Of the boys even-and
he compared the fingerprints with
those Of the body-and. by CAD,
they didn't match either.

Lawrence Vane stood rigid, his
