remembered Jameson's insinua-

There are other things, too, that

She did not wait for Barnes

A glance was enough to tell her
that she had found her mark.
With a flourish she swung out of
the room.
Dropping the Courtney letter
into an office chute, Helena hur-
ried to the cashier and gave in
structions for the issuing of
Barnes check. "It's funny" she
thought, "that my last official act
should be discharging someone.
I've always wondered how it felt

case, it was a real pleasure"
Helena peered from the window
of one of the towns easy-going
taxis, her knees pressed hard
against the single black suitcase
she had so gaily packed for Crest
Mountain Lodge. That seemed
years ago now. Far more years
thar a leather bag might last.
The car sped down the main
street, past Henderson's Depart
ment Store, past the biggest NOV
lie house. Then past the newspaper
office. Helena wondered what
they would be saying tomorrow.

The driver jerked the brake lever
with one hand, indolently reached
back with his other to open the
door.
"My bag, please" Helena said.
."I'll take your bag, Helena"
John Lassiter was standing IN
front of the taxi door, waiting!
"I'Il Just put it in my car, be-
cause you're going back up town"

A similar story came to the
sheriff from Mrs. M. M. Cowdln,
recuperating at a Maine resort
from the shock of her experience.
She occupied the room adjoining
that in which Miss Clevenger was
slain. She reported hearing an
guished means.
Previously, only a bank &C
countant in the room across the
hall had reported hearing what ne
thought were a girls screams
about l a. m. of July 16 while
a thunderstorm ragged outside.
The girls bachelor uncle, Prof.
w. L. Clevenger of North Caro-

ing her mutilated body about
8 80 a. m. when he called to take
her to breakfast. A pass key OF
the type issued only to hotel en-
ployes was found outside her un-
locked door. g,
But Sheriff Brown revealed
yesterday that a negro chamber
maid, Evelyn Moss, had reported
Miss Clevenger's door locked from
the inside at 500 a. m. with no
key on the outside.
The chambermaid's evidence
pointed to a theory that the mid
night intruder, who criminally as
saulted Miss Clevenger and ST.
fenced her screams by stabblng
her in the face and shooting her
through the breast, had returned
to her room later to make sure nc
clues as to his identity were left
behind.
