THE THIRD KEY
death-but whose hand behind II?
Major Tyson investigates MURDER and himself!
by E. Phillips oppenheim

At first it appeared to me that Mrs. NallenCy
was utterly indifferent to her surroundings.
Later on changed my mind. If her eyes were
ever turned in my direction. they passed by
me without the slightest sense of recognition.
Yet they we're the eyes OF a searcher. 1t was
busy day and the door opened and closed con-
tinually felt that if the person she desired or
hoped to see passed into the Grill Room, there
would be different woman in her place.
She relaxed little with her coffee and lit
a cigarette. Afterwards she paid her bill and
departed Before Louis desk she paused for
moment to say good morning. There was
look of inquiry in his eyes She shook her head
gently and passed on.
The memory of her presence left tingling
in my nerves. listened against my will to the
conversation about her between two men at
the next table.
She must be pretty hardboiled, said one,
"to be seen about here knowing that half the
people in the room recognise her. :.
What does she do it for, do you suppose:
She can't get much fun out of it.

Il should think So" the other assented.
THE only thing is, there doesn't seem to have
been a shadow of motive. Holden drank a
great deal, they say. and he was certainly an
uncouth lout of fellow, but he can't be said
to have altogether neglected his wife. They
were about together fairly often, and the
prosecution could not produce a single man
with whom she had been seen alone. A cold
woman, if ever there was one - beautiful as
saint and as mercilessly virtuous.

itself was in Egypt, as you know, when 1t all
happened There must have been some reason
for her being so strongly suspected.
Louis stirred his after luncheon coffee: II
think the real reason everyone came to the
conclusion that she must have been guilty
was because there seemed to be no one else.
She lived outwardly on fairly good terms with
her artist husband, but they were of different
types. He was slovenly, drank too much and
had twice been in the usual sort of troube.'

~HE WOMAN with whom Louis Manager
of the Milan Grill Room, was engaged in
d conversation attracted me curously She
was beautifully and simply dressed in gray,
with chinchilla wrap She was very pale and
the expression in her beautiful eyes was mex
pressively sad.
When went over to give Louis my usual
morning greeting, he laid his fingers on my
arm and said: Would you allow me, Madame,
to present to you friend who is a constant
visitor here - Major Tyson? Mrs. Vallency. -"
She inclined her head very slightly.
Mrs Vallency,' Louis added shares

How to measure shortening and butter easilv.
When recipe calls for solid shortening the fol-
