Then how do you feel about it
now, Betty? Would you help him
or not?"
"I'd help him in any way I
could" she said earnestly. But
after all, I don't want to intrude
on his sorrow, and there's nothing
I can do for him up there alone
in his house"
The Inspector stared at her.

Haven't you read the papers?"

Ingles' Hunch
Inspector IngleS had known
Betty Potter for some years be-
fore the night when he was called
upon in the line of duty to arrest
his good friend Lawrence Vane,
the famous artist, as a material
witness in connection with the
murder Of his wife.
After his unsatisfactory and
startling talk with Vane in his
cell in the Tombs, he had racked
his brain for some way in which
he could be of assistance to his
friend, although he was convinced
of his guilt.
On the impulse of the moment
he went Immediately. without tel

caught her lip as though she had
said too much, and threw him a
startled glance.

LET us sit down a moment,
Betty, and talk" said Ingles
quietly. THE best thing would be
if you will be quite frank with me.
