 He leaned closer, and once again his dark eyes looked into her very soul.
 You know you are quite the loveliest girl?" he murmured. Your face has haunted me, ever since met you"
 Joan Squirmed.
 There's something about you that reminds me of someone ;" Norton persisted. Someone knew did you ever live in California;"
 "No!" Joan almost shouted the denial, drawing away from his nearness. Quickly, however, she gathered her wits. That is," she amended, less violently, mot since I was a baby. I was born in Sacramento, but my family left California when I was still an in- fant." Dorothy's spirit hovered over, prompting, strengthening.
 Norton smiled. But you did come from California! I knew it. You can always tell a Sunshine girl =. Who was your father? I might have known him. I lived in Sacramento for year ."
 Joan's nerves were quivering. She couldn't fool this man. His eyes saw too much. Even new they were probing, seeking, won dering what caused her hesitation. Was he tormenting her, knowing full we'll who her father was?
 With all the strength of will she possessed, she forced herself to smile, and to answer lightly:
 T imagine my father stayed in Sacramento just long enough for me to join his family I really come from a long line of gypsies. California was just one more stopping-off place."

Marvin Hopkins, an employe of a New York realty firm, was stabbed in the back in the dingy first floor hallway of four story tenement. He had just collected the months rent from the buildings tenants and the killer fled with the money.
 Within half hour after the mur- der. police picked up Fingers Alber- ti for questioning. Fingers lived near the tenement in which Hopkins was slain and he was known to be handy with knife. He had been released from prison on parole the previous week and was known to be in need of money.
 The officers who seized Fingers in his room told him that rent collector had been killed down the block and that he was one of a dozen suspects.
 But Fingers only sneered when the officers told him why he was want ed.
 Not me-" he boasted, T ain't no suspect. You muggs maybe can pin this stickin' on one of the II other suckers you got, but not on little Fingers. I got cast-iron alibi."

CHAPTER XVI

Norton was in the office again on Wednesday. Joan Shuddered now every time she saw the man. Bob was right; he was horrible person. But his presence was even more terrifying to her. He was another link to the past, and she could not breathe easily again until he was on his way back to California.
 Over and over, she had per- Suaded herself that his discussion with MT. Hendry of Jeremiah Jor- dams murder meant nothing. Ten years ago, the Jordan case was 9 sensation in California. Nobody knew that better than she did. Ger tainly, then, it was not incredible that two old CaIifornians should talk it over. Particularly if they had known Jeremiah Jordan.
 That was the worst of it. The fact that they had known the man. That MT. Hendry had known him. Norton did not matter, he would be out of New York in another day or two. But what did MT. Hendry know? How well had he known Jordan, if at all?
 She did not tell Dorothy about it at home. There was no point in bringing unnecessary ugly de- tails into their life together. For get it, Dorothy would say. And forget it she must Nothing could matter now. Nothing.
 Shortly before noon, MT. Hendry brought the man over to her desk. MT. Norton wants to make a few changes in some of the terms of that agreement" he said to Joan. Think you can go over it with him?"
 of course"
 Good. I've luncheon ap- pointment with my lawyer, Char ley, so I'll have to run along. Miss Barrett will take good care of you"
 Norton looked down at Joan. a slight smile twisting his lip. His eyes were expressionless. I'm sure she will" he said.
 He drew up a chair alongside of her desk and took out his copy of the Bella Terra sales agree nlent. MT. Hendry went back for his hat and coat. A moment later, hc stopped on his way out.
 By the way" he said to Joan, T don't expect to be back this afternoon. If you want few hours to go shopping :"
 Joan smiled. Thank you, MT. Hendry. I do."
 He patted her lightly on the shoulder, chuckling bit to him self, and went out. loans eyes followed him to the door, and she realized for the thousandth time how kind he was to her. She could phone Dorothy now; they would have lunch together and shop all afternoon, until her feet ached. Dorothy did not have classes on Wednesday afternoon at the art school. She'd enjoy shopping for bridal lingerie.
 Norton rustled the paper ill his hand. loans smile vanished as she looked up and saw those piercing black eyes glaring through her.
 T can start immediately, MT. Norton" she said with dignity, calling his attention to the work on hand.
 Norton smiled again. For some inexplicable reason, Joan wished that MT Hendry had not left her alone with him. He looked like Dracula, she told herself, and half expected hi into stand up, spread out his long arms, and turn into a vampire bat. For the first time in all the years she had been working, she felt uncomfortable for being alone with a man. She
