All she could think of was that Jim mustn't come back yet. He couldn't be found until she could disprove some of the damning evi- dence against him
 Hello! Cilly, what's the mat ter? Can't you hear me?"

 Instantly, Cilly found her voice The words tumbled from her lips, fast and decisive, before Dolan could get their full meaning: "You mustn't do that. They're waiting to get you, here in my apartment" i" She slammed the receiver back on its hook.
 Dolan was on his feet imme-. diately, fire in his eye.
 "Who was that?" he demanded.
 Cilly did not answer.
 "So" he shouted. You have no idea where the fellow is, but he's near enough to keep in touch with you by telephone. We'll, we'll take care of that, young lady. You're coming with me, as a material witness, and I'll put someone else in your apartment to take future messages"
 Cilly paid no attention to his words. Let him arrest her. What did it matter? If only Jim would understand and keep away

amuck. At the trial out in Blue fields they had several demon. strations of his wild temper. I've got the complete file on the Kerr case, if you want to come down and check up on 1t for yourself.
 Cilly was staring out of the win- dow, watching the rain beat against the glass. She turned, and looked Dolan calmly in the eye.
 Perhaps I will, some day." she said with deliberation. If you ever indict Jim Kerrigan for this mur- der, I'll defend him. And I'll save him, Sergeant Dolan, in spite of you There's nothing won't do to free Jim
 Dolan drowned, surprised at the fierce promise in her words.
 "It's not a question of what you can or will do, Miss Pierce" he reminded her. "A jury usually decides whether a mans guilty or not. And with the evidence I've got Wait! There's something else we found this afternoon at the Ralston."
 He dug into his coat pocket, drew forth something wrapped in paper. He handed 1t to Cilly - a blue belt, a belt from @ woman's chiffon dress.
 Cilly stifled the cry that came to her lips, her eyes staring hyp- notically at this new piece of evi- dence. The belt belonged to Amy Kerr's blue chiffon dress the one she had taken up on the roof to air!
 You recognize it?"
 Cilly did not, could not, answer. This was the last straw, she thought: This was the last link in the chain that was slowly, surely binding Jim to the mur- der
 Her head spun madly; there was a wild throbbing in her temples, a choking in her throat. She tried to think of an explanation, but her thoughts were a whirlpool of horror and despair
 She was dimly conscious that Dolan was still speaking; she heard his voice, relentlessly pur- suing: ". found it in the pocket of one of his jackets probably wore 1t here. We have the dress down at headquarters. You re- member the girl was holding 1t in her hand ." But the words did not register in her mind.
 Suddenly the throbbing in her temples gave way to a sharp, insist ent ringing. Habit, more than understanding, forced her to her feet and propelled her to the tele- phone. Like Sleepwalker, she pick ed up the receiver, mumbled a mechanical Hello"
 Hello! Hello, Oily, darllng!
 Her heart stopped.
 It was Jim's voice which came over the wire to her!
 Jim was home again! Every thing will be all right now
 But would 1t? There was Ser geant Dolan, seated not six feet away, watching her like @ cat. |. Dolan who believed Jim guilty in spite of everything

Stamp News

kOUh countries have now an
 nounced plans to issue postage stamps in commemoration of the l50th anniversary of the signing of the U. S. Constitution. They are France, Ecuador, Honduras and Venezuela.
 France intends to print 1000, ,00O of the one-franc, 50 centimes de- nomination to be used in interna- tional postage. Honduras plans to- issue 100000 stamps equivalent to our five-cent denomination. The, other two nations have not an- nounced these details. Designs for none of these issues have been indicated.
 A national society of first-day cover collectors is now being formed by Philadelphia collectors and dealers. Full details may be secured through Herbert L. Schatz, l033 Chestnut street, Phil- adelphia.
 Boycott of all future issues of souvenir sheets is threatened un- less the panes are placed on gen. eral sale and in sufficient quanti- ties to fill the demand of philate- lists throughout the world. Many nations have printed miniature sheets and sold them as a special favor to groups that have con- trolled supply and price. As a re- suit collectors have had to pay large premiums. Some philatelic experts go so far even as to raise the question whether such issues are really postage stamps since these panes are theoretically I available for postal duty, though never obtainable by the public for that purpose.
 France, it's reported, is prepar- ing a l0-franc adhesive in connec- ton with the dedication of the American war memorial at Mont faucon. The French government issued 10000 postcards with a special one franc stamp on the day of dedication.

CHAPTER XIV

sThis is 8 surprise" Cilly said tC the stalwart figure in the doorway s'I didn't expect to see you again to- ltlay."
 1 Sergeant Dolan peeled himsel out of his dripping raincoaat anc hung it over the kitchen door. 1 T didn't expect to be here," ht commented. Enjoy the picture"
 "Very much, thank you. Excep that I missed some visitors by being out this afternoon"
 Dolan looked at her Shrewdly "so they muffed it, eh? Well, might have known ." He walked into the living room Booked around.
 1 Cilly went about lighting thu table lamps. It was growing dark quickly.
 "So your afternoon was vast. ed?" she asked.
 "As far as your apartment k concerned, yes. But we had mucf better luck in other quarters"
 'Where2"
 "At the Ralston." ! Oily started. The Ralston Hote was where Jim lived.
 Did Jim leave a forwarding address at the Ralston?"
 "No. He wasn't quite so con- eiderate."
 Cilly strengthened a chair, sal down, a little fearful. What did you discover then?" she inquired hesitantly.
 Dolan leaned forward. "Remember what told you about the bonds stolen by Kerr's father from the BluefleldS National Bank? That they were still missing? Well, we got a thousand dollars worth of them this afternoon in young Kerr's room at the Ralston. Funny thing about it-Martin searched that room thoroughly on Monday after noon, but you know the old saying If you want to hide something thor oughly, stick 1t right out where any, body can see 1t. That's what Kerr niG. The bonds were out on a table, carelessly slipped into @ magazine MHrtin looked through every crack and crevice of that room, into bur- eau drawers and between the sheets. But he never thought of going through the magazine; that was too obvious"
 "A little too obvious, it seems to me-" Cilly retorted. "I'll bet someone put them there" "Who? Kerr, Senior, stole them; his son is here to dispose of them. don't know what miracle of fic- tion you saw this afternoon, but doH't ask he to believe that a vindictive, vicious cleaning woman slipped those bonds into the maga- zine."
 T won't ask you to believe any, thing. You're determined to &C., cuse Jim Kerrigan, and you've a one-track mind, sergeant" Not at all. But when all the evidence points to one man, we can't overlook him because cer- tain young lady has responded to his personality"
 "All the evidence does not point to Jim"
 Ninety per cent of it does Kerr'S been travelling outside the law these past several months Naturally, he didn't want you to know that, so to bargain with the girl not to tell, he asked her to meet him up on the roof, where he probably hoped, if she didn't come to terms, that she'd acciden- tally fall off"
 You told me she was strangled first ."
 "So she was. I didn't say he took her up there deliberately to kill her. They were pretty close to each other; perhaps he thought he could reason with her. Then suddenly he lost his head, The first thing he grabbed was a piece of clothesline. Then, frightened at what he'd done, he threw her of the roof, hoping 1t would look like an accident. I told you it's no new thing for this young man to run
