Chinese and japanese varieties. Since
his death, which occurred shortly

His stare attracted the driver
attention. 1t all happened in two
or three seconds, five at most. Au-
tomatically the taxi man glanced
into his rear view mirror.
He squirmed around. His gaunt
countenance lost what little color
too many cigarettes had left, and
went blank. He bathed Mcdonald
with a terrified look, wrenched his
eyes to Dan, and returned them to
his passenger as if drawn by 4
magnet.
The eyes of the shyster lawyer
almost popped from their sockets.
They were glaz !. A long knife
was buried to the hilt in his chest,
stabbed through his expensive
brown silk tie. His right hand ac-
tually hung On the haft of the wea-
pom, as though in his agony he had
tried to draw the thing out. Stiff

fic to move.

the sight of a murdered man. 1t

taut until comprehension seeped to
his brain of the awful meaning of
it. Colwell was in the cluth of
amazement, but years of experience
at meeting such sights made him
recover first. His movement to
leave the spot prompted the taxi
mans yell.
"Police! Murder!" He howled it
above the din of horns, and the
throb of impatient motors. "a

Help, police!'
Dan saw a strip Of white paper

which evidently had fallen unseen
when those two men stepped out.
He leaned and snatched it up, then
plunged for the back of the cab.
His impulse was to race for the
sidewalk after the killer pair but his
anxious eyes failed to find them.
And the red barricade set up at the
gap of torn pavement changed his
mind. He turned around the rear
of the bus just as a gaseous cloud
poured from its exhaust. In the
nick of time as it picked up speed
he flipped on the back platform
where the conductor stood.
They stared at each other. If the
fellow had made a move to seize
him Dan would have broken his
jaw. But the conductor merely
seemed startled to pick up a passen-

But what tensed him again was
gnawing realization that he had not

murder discovery. He peered back,
his eyes rowing to the sidewalk
where another policeman tried to
keep a fast-swelling crowd under

with drawn revolver through the
mob surrounding the cab to seize
whomever the panicky driver
might accuse.

The corridor door remained

to hear, if possible, what was said,
1t must be the dark suited man
who rumbled something to the Of

"Pm sorry, Mr.. CULLEN, but Mr..

another or against the wall. "It's-

Quillen's voice, and again the wor-
ried, fearful gasp of the girl.
Dan strolled past the enteroom.
He glimpsed Miss Jennings and the
fellow named Bradshaw, one at

him to an inner office. CULLEN sank
Imply into a broad leather chair.
His partner famed him with his
hat. He turned to the girl, spoke ur-
gently to her.
"Not feeling we'll all day. Heart

Quickly she brought a glas Of
water, which Bradshaw held to his
friends lips. While he did so he
made some request of the secretary.
She started from the office but
waited when he called to her. The
girl stepped back for a bit of paper
he took from Quillen's vest pocket.

heels that clicked sharply across the

worried disappointment that no ele-

at Dan Colwell, but clutching the
