apparently established an airtight
alibi
At the inquest yesterday Gaddy
testified that he was making his
rounds of the hotel at the time off,
GERS believed the girl was killed. about

He said he saw nothing eniss on
his inspection. At the hour other

E. B. Pittman, employe of the State
Banking Department, said he saw a
man in Miss Clevenger's doorway after
screams were heard shortly before /

guest like himself who entered the
hall in curiosity about the cries.
Durham Jones, negro bellboy, said
he saw a stranger dart from the foot
of the stairs. cross the lobby into the
managers Office, and from there run
to the front entrance, where he leaped

he was calling his office from a porch

But Natalie, what am | to DO

"Do you want me to call up

I've lost my job"
"All right, but you've nothing
to be ashamed of. Remember
what Rosemary said about Mad
! anne when we had lunch together?
She said the best thing for you
would be to quit. 1t might teach
Madame Lizette a lesson"
"It's easy for Rosemary to
talk. She doesn't have to earn her
living. A girl who works has to
swallow a lot that goes against
the grain. I've taken lot already
from Madame"
"Well, I'm taking you to dim
ner tonight. Come on! I'm
ravenous.
Later, as they fingered over the
dinner (most of the tables around
them were already deserted) Ma
talie said thoughtfully, "Somc
people say you have a better
chance of getting a job if you
still have one. If I were you, /
wouldn't tell anyone you've left
Madame Lizette's unless, it's nee
essary."
Gail right, Natalie" Gail
agreed. "I'll take your advice. It's
been awfully good of you to tell
me who's who and where to go
first" She folded the sheet of pa
per with its list of names and slip
ped it into her handbag"
"That's nothing, Gail. I've been
here long enough to learn a few
things, and if | can do anything
to help you, you know l will. Re-
member, don't be too modest
about your ability. Blow your own
trumpet as loud as you can.
There's no one else to do it for
you"
But in spite Of Natalie's prac-
teal advice, Gail came hame the
next night footsore and weary.
She had made dozens of calls, but
evidently no one wanted her SER

Vices. She found that what Ma
talie had said was true-several
of the most exclusive shops were
closed for the summer, their
branch shops in fashionable holi-
day centers being able to cater to
their clients needs.
There was a letter in her
pigeon-hole, but when the girl
handed it to her, Gail did not
bother to open it. She was so ut
terly tired. and discouraged that
she tossed the letter on the
couch with her portfolio and hand
bag. She filled the bathtub, think
ing she might feel better if she
relaxed for a while.
+ After her bath she slipped into
negligee, picked up magazine
and began to read. At last she
dressed. Natalie had a date and
would not be home until late.
Gail decided she might as well
have dinner in the clubhouse.
Derek had gone deep-sea fishing
with an old friend who only came
! to the city about twice year.
He'd wanted her to join them
when they returned and go to n
theater, but Gail had been sure
his friend would prefer the eve

hurrying! Were they all going
home? Gail sighed. She'd never
realized before what lonely
place New York could be!
! Well. there was no use stand

go down to dinner.
As she stopped to pick up her
handbag she saw the letter again.
Gail picked it up. The postmark
was slightly blurred and all she
could read was "Ariz."
A moment later she sank down
on the couch. ooh" she cried,
"What nextw The missive read:
Dear Miss Everett: As / under

late Peter Everett, / presume you

She wrinkled her brows, trying
to remember. His relatives were
all fasteners. He'd never bought
ranch so far as she knew. Then,
suddenly, she remembered how
her father had said to her one
day when she was being lifted to
the saddle of her fat little pony,
"You ought to be good horse

mother. Many a time I've seen
her galloping over your grand
