 T found that clipping, Jim;" Cilly cried. Tt was still in Amy's hand when I reached her." She explained how and why she had burned 1t.
 Tt was the final link, apparent ly, in Amy's chain of evidence against Worth. That is--if her slls- picion were true. That's why she sent me to Bluefields immediately, to check for Ter, while she kept her eye on Worth here in New York. She was so terribly afraid he'd begin to get suspicious :"
 What did you find out in Blue fields?"
 "Just this. Amy knew the old hermit pretty well. Frequently she rode out through the moun- tains and stopped at his shack. She'd been kind to him. The day of the robbery, she saw him in town. She told him of some old suits of mine which he might have if he wanted to stop for them. He did, that afternoon. It was getting late and she suggested ! that he sleep in the room over our garage for the night. But he was in a hurry to get home, he told her.
 Amy doubted whether he ever i reached home that night. Worth had run him down, perhaps, and then conceived bright idea of changing personalities. That's where I've been this week, to Smokey Joe Barlows shack. And none of my clothes were therel He never reached home. Knowing that, we can have the body disin- tered and identified more accu- rately ."
 But what about Worthp" Cilly begged nervously. Did Amy tell you who he was? Did all the proof she gathered die with her2"
 "No, thank God" Jim said earn estly. "She was prepared against any emergency. Every fact she unearthed is in @ safety deposit box at the National Trust Com. pany's downtown branch. The key to the box is in her desk ct Ames and Wakefield"
 "Then you can get 1t the first thing in the morning2 Tomorrow we'll know who did 1t ." Cilly stopped abruptly. Upstairs she heard someone walking around. was 1t the special officer, or had nnlan Naf,.NNA ad0 NSHiaaA ,.alnAA An the police sergeant, she added. Hell want to question you im- mediately, Jim"
 Jim jumped to his feet. q don't want to see him, Cilly. Not yet. l want to go over Arny's evidence before the police do." He smiled, @ little sheepishly. I'm still afraid of the technicalities of the law. dear, in spite of your legal brain. Do you suppose you could get that key for me the first thing tomorrow, so that I can open the deposit box before the sergeant sees me?"
 Surely. We could get 1t to- night, if you want no, I couldn't go. Dolan will be back here any minute, with mean to talk to me-" She didn't want to tell Jim of the policewoman who was coming to guard her., There was no need to worry him But have 0 key to Amy's office, Jim. Why don't you go right over2 Tell the watchman in the Cannon Building that you're friend of mine Here, the key is in the secertary ."
 She got 1t out, handed 1t to him. He clenched his hand around 1t tightly, and tears sprang into his eyes.
 Think of 1t, Cilly," he inur- mured shakily. This is the key which will unlock my fathers
 The next minute he was gone, and Cily sat down on te divan to await Sergeant Dolan. She wouldn't tell him anything about Jim's visit, she decided. She would say only that Jim would see him the first thing in the morning.
 Suddenly she sat bolt upright, her eyes staring into the bedroom beyond. The window to the fire escape, the one she had so care- fully left open only one inch, was now halfway open, and the cur- tains were blowing in the breezei (To Be Contlnued)
