much for telling us that" she ex- claimed. Then, trying to be casual in her explanation, she added: "You know, everybody is under suspicion in Q case like this until an alibi is established"
 Mrs. Perry nodded snnilingly. She did not understand why MT. Kerri- gan, Priscilla's special young man, needed an alibi. But she did not say so.
 "Well, we'd better take the gold fish and run along" MT. Perry sug- gested. If there's any way we can help, sergeant, we'll be right next door. ."
 As the door closed behind the Perrys, Cilly turned to Sergeant Dolan. She could not hide the gleam of satisfaction which lighted up her eyes.
 "Well, sergeant, do you still want to hold me as an acceSsory?"
 Dolan slumped into Q chair weari- ly.
 T guess not. Their story rang | true enough and we can always check on it." He looked up at Cllly smiled 8 little crookedly. "Well, il begins to look as if there might bt some grounds for this faith of yours in the young man. Say, tell me the truth now, will you?"
 "Of course. I haven't lied to yoU yet, but you won't believe me-"

 "No. received 8 postcard iron him on Monday, saying merely tha he'd been called suddenly to Utah didn't hear another word iron him until he called just now"
 "What did he say?"
 Cilly smiled, "1f you rememger I didn't give him an opportunity to say very much. Only that he't just got in from Newark Airport and was on his way over here" (TO Be COntinued)

1 MT. and Mrs. Perry are my next door neighbors. sergeant"
 Dolan acknowledged the introduc- ton with brief nod.
 "Oh, this just too horrible for you, my dear" Mrs. Perry went on. And to have 1t happen the minute your young man was called away"
 Cilly's eyes widened. Dolan turned his shrewed glance on Mrs. Perry instantly.
 "How did ycu know Jim was go- ing away?" Cilly asked her.
 "Oh, we met him that evening. Didn't we, John?"
 "when was this?" Dolan asked abruptly. -....
 "Just about midnight" MT. Perry stated mildly. "YeS, 1t was exactly midnight"
 Cilly's heart bounded as Q new hope dawned.
 "Just how and where did you 1 meet the young mann" Dolan asked l quickly.
 MT. Perry seemed a little sur- prised at the sudden questioning.
 we met him two blocks further down, on St. Ar1n's avenue" he re- lated simply. You see, we'd stopped in here a little after Il, wasn't 1t, dear? Miss Pierce had offered to look after our fish while we were away. MT. Kerrigan and another gentleman were here. ="
 How did you know which was Kerrigan?" Dolan interrupted.
 "Why, we had met him before. One Sunday afternoon, we met him Miss Pierce down at Jones Beach. We all came home together. So of course when saw him in such a hurry Sunday night, I was glad to offer him a lift. Wed gotten the car, and had a little bite down in the tavern, and then just as we started of, we saw MT. Kerrigan, running toward the subway. He seemed in such hurry. ."
 "What time was tl1is?' ?''-=-' '- 7-'.
 Exactly midnight. Remember, Mary, you remarked on it?"
 "Yes," Mrs. Perry affirmed. "The steeple clock was just striking mid night. I leased MT. Kerrigan about being in such hurry to leave Pris- cilla, and he explained that he had to make @ hurried trip out west. He didn't want to wait for trains, and there was 8 friend of his--a private pilot-who was leaving Flyod Ben- nett Field at 12:30 for Chicago. MT Kerrigan wanted to catch him, but of course because he was in such 8 hurry he couldn't get a taxi. So we drove him down to the flying field"
 "You drove him to Floyd Ben- nett Field Sunday night?" Dolan repeatedly incredulously. He saw his carefully prepared case crumbling before him. / .',&
 MT. and Mrs. Perry nodded simul- taneously. And we got him there in IS minutes" MT. Perry said with pride. "Kerrigarl's friend had just arrived himself. It was exactly quar- ter past 12. We waited around until they took of, and then we started for Fall River" x,
 
 Cilly could have wept for joy. Jim had been down at Floyd Ben- nett Field at quarter past 12. Amy was killed at 1920.

CHAPTER xxvI

Cilly leaned helpleSsly against the wall while Dolan proceeded to give orders over the telephone to trace Jim'S call.
 Jim had phoned from the Penn- sylvania hotel. The operator veri- fled that. He could get out and dis appear into the subway in 30 sec- onds. She felt a subtle pleasure at having outwitted Dolan. He was so sure of himself, so positive in his theory. What did it matter to him that he was railroading an inno- cent man to jail; to the to the electric chair! For the first time, Oily caught the full significance of what Jim was facing. She held her breath as 8 new terror seized her.
 Dolan was arresting her. There would be nobody to carry on for Jim nobody to watch the Hunter man, or Harvey Ames .. nobody to check on CarrutherS who also came from Utah. Dolan would forget all that.
 Suddenly she faced Dolan, her eyes burning with indignation and terror and despair.
 "Why are you so determined to accuse Jim? What about Harvey Ames? He had every opportunity and just as good a motive. What about Hunter? There are a dozen angles that you refuse to consider. What about Carruthers upstairs? We have proof that he came from Utah recently. ,. His trip to Ber- muda might easily have been a blind, or he might have gone way to let someone else use his apart ment. What about the Elliot woman upstairs? Surely she's read about the case in the newspapers. Why don't you check on her?"
 Dolan frowned in annoyance. See here, Miss Pierce" he said irritably, you may be a smart lawyer and all that, but don't need you to tell me hoW to do my own work. We've checked every situation thoroughly. We've got the word of dozen peo- pie who saw Carruthers of on the Monarch of Bermuda. don't go raNsacking peoples houses unless Tvs got something on them Come nGT, get 8 hat and coat on; you're going with me-"
 There were voices in the outer hallway Cilly recognized them A second later, her bell rang
 %. K. Answer it." Dolatl ordered.
 Cilly opened the door to admit MT. and Mrs. Perry, who lived next door in Apartment 1-B.
 Mrs. Perry, 8 plump, neighborly little woman, held both hands out to Cilly in a motherly gesture.
 "You poor hear!" she murmured. we only heard about 1t today. I'm so terribly, terribly sorry"
 Dolan stood in the living room, taking in the situation.
 Come in, Mrs. Perry" Cilly urged. Hello, MT. Perry. This is Sergeant Dolan, from police headquarters.
