said. II no was not impressed be-
fore, he was now. Turn 70 your left
from the elevator and Mr.. Macy's
apartment Is three doors down."
TAFT walked into the ornate lobby.
The immaculate gentleman ct the
desk regarded him with suspicion,
but TAFT ignored him. TO the eleva-
tor boy he said, Tenth noor,
please"
In another moment he was at
the door Of Leonard Macy, the
wealthy dilettante whose hobby was
the detection OF crime and who
loved 10 make fools Of Woodworking
fellows like Dannie Feeley. II was
with q feeling akin Of contempt that
Bob TAFT pushed the bell.
A smooth looking Oriental In q
white coat answered the buzz. MY

photographer said. II would like 10

Come In, please" the Oriental
invited. But once TAFT was inside
the door, his manner grew slightly
cool, you will please wait here"
he said.
TAFT sat In O small hallway, studied
the small etchings hanging there.
He was about TO have a surreptitious
look inside the apartment when q
dark, heavy set man almost blocked
the entrance. TAFT knew Leonard
Macy by sight, but there was such
legend about his wealth and his
eccentricities that even the celeb
rity-innoculated photographer was
startled at his appearance.
"Ah," Macy said, coming forward
with hand outstretched. mfr. Robert

were volumes from floor TO ceiling

Macy settled into the other, offered
TAFT cigarets and began talking
volubly.
"Prehaps you can assist me, TAFT,
You newspaper fellows have helped

fess that my-ah-work Is mostly

Macy contemplated the ceiling for O
moment, and TAFT waited.
"Tait, this murder interests me
because of It's background. I refer
TO the phenomenon of swing music.
