After Grassi, accompanied by Doc

closed the library doors and walked
to the large center table.
"There it is, Markham, old dear, "
he said with a grim smile, pointing
to the Chinese dagger before him.
The dagger lay on the library table
in almost exactly the same spot
where we had left it the afternoon
before; but now there was undried
blood upon it and it's condition told us
only too plainly, that it was the
weapon which had been used to strike
through Grassi's arm.

MURDER CASE
By s. s. VAN DINE

When Vance and I arrived at the
Coe house, Markham and Sergeant
Heath were already there. There was
a detective from the homicide bureau
sitting glumly on the front steps.
We went to the second floor walked
back toward the front of the house,
and entered Grassi's quarters. The
curtains were drawn and all the lights
were on.
Heath ard Markham stood at the
foetsser GSassi's bed, looking at the
PROSTATE figure lying there. Sitting
in straight chair, on the opposite
side of the bed, was a capable looking
man Of about forty.
"This is Doctor Lobsenz" Markham
informed Vance. Gamble called him
in"
Doctor Lobsenz looked up, nodded
and went on about his work with swift
efficiency.
Grassi lay on his back clad in white
silk pajamas. He was CHASTITY pale,
and the arm nearest US moved rest
lessly on the sheets, like that of a
person under the influence of hyoscin
There was an area of blood, perhaps
IL inches in diameter, on the sheet at
his left side nearest the doctor. His
pajama coat was also stained with
blood. His eyes were closed, but his
lips were moving incoherently.
Presently the doctor rose.

"I'll send for the ambulance immedi-

Markham nodded. "Thank you, Doc.

Then he turned to Vance.
"Grassi was stabbed through the

not a dangerous wound"

Without looking up he spoke. "Jus'

The doctor hesitated.
