credulously for a moment to see whether he might be testing. and then a fear-stricken maid uttered piercing sllriek and slipped to the floor in faint.
 One of the policemen rushed to her side. He ordered Willows to get a glass of water. Dale was pacing within small space be- hind Rhoda's chair, as he looked down anxiously at the girl who sat in silent horror. Barbour had walked to the window near OLeary's desk and was peering outside into the summer blackness. It was several moments before the confusion subsided. The maid, still pale but conscious, begged to be allowed to remain. Sergeant Carroll had walked over to the desk and was sitting in 8 chair near OLeary. Barbour was the last to take his seat.
 Dale stood erect now, behind Rhoda. "Why don't you end this torture, Lieutenant? Get it over with"
 "Itll be over soon enough" !" OLeary said. ''Let me tell you about it. The murderer was very clever. But the trouble with smart murderers is that they usu- ally forget some little thing.
 "In this case, the killer forgot that Martin Sayler was very fastidious man. He was almost eccentric in that way. He liked everything in order. Everything neat always exactly the same. His books, for instance. He wouldn't tolerate having any book out of place or moved. an inch out of line from the others. Every volume had its exact spot.
 "That was where our murderer slipped up."
 OLeary had the rapt attention of everyone in the room now. You see, this murderer had a unique problem on his hands. He or she, ha at obe in this room to shoot Martin Sayler at the same time that the same murderer was in the other room with the rest of you. That would eliminate suspicion. It wasn't easy. but the killer figured it out. Would you like to know how?"
 There was breathless. fearful expectation written on most of the faces in the room. Rhoda Waters was frankly holding on tightly to Dale Appleby's hand, and, Hazel Leighton was letting hef cigaret burn dangerously close to her fingers. Mardell's face was spotted with little beads of sweat.
 Barbour took of his glasses and put them carefully in his pocket Then he stood up and stepped into the center of the room. He opened his coat, and thrust his pudgy hands into his trousers pockets.

Spoin Renews Old Fiqht for Gibraltar

GPANISH demands that Britain V surrender Gibraltar renews a battle for possession of "The Rock" that has been going on for IF centuries. Spain's last attempt to capture the fortress that guards the entrance to the Mediterranean was in 1779 in a siege that lasted three years and seven months.
 Spain is separated from Gibral- tar by a flat, sandy strip. The Gibraltar stamp above, of the George VI coronation issue, shows the view of "The Rock" from the Spanish mainland. The tunneled, fortified mass of stone is 2A miles long, three-fourths mile wide and 1896 feet high.
 Moors, under Tariq, captured and fortified Gibraltar in I'll. Spain regained possession in 1909, lost it in 1888, captured it again in 1462. In 1902, Gibraltar was formally incorporated into crown domain. In 800 years Gibraltar was besieged II times.
 Britain captured "The Rock" during the War of Spanish Suc- cesEion in 1704, has held it since that time. It is now crown col. onys important strategically as . naval base and as guardian of Britain'S Mediterranean life line.

Sergeant Carroll sensed, when he stepped into the Sayler study that night, that the involuntary guests were not in the most joyful of moods. OLeary had not yet arrived. Dale Appleby was being as gracious Rs his nervousness permitted.
 Rhoda Waters sat by herself, ln 8 large overstuffed chair, which had been arranged earlier by Lieutenant OLeary to face Say ler's desk in the corner of the room. A divan and several occa- sional chairs had also been lined up, and the other guests sat there now in glowering silence.
 Winslow Mardell still wore the emblazoned sports costume he had on when the officers accosted him in his hotel earlier in the day. His lips were twisted into satiri- cal smile. George Barbour leaned quietly back on one end of the divan and displayed his discom- fort only by nervously Ticking at his cigar.
 AL Illc OppOSICC CAiO OA UAAS NA'eAA sat Hazel Leighton, grimly reti- cent, smoking irritably and glancing antagonistically at the complacent sergeant from time to time.
 Carroll was relieved when OLeary finally appeared. Following the lieu tenant were two uniformed officers and between them walked the sul- len Riggs, chauffeur for the late Martin Sayler.
 Those in the study fixed their attsntion on Riggs, who refused to look up from the floor. O'Leary directed the officers to seat Riggs in a chair on the north side of the room. Both policemen stood nearby. OLeary went to the door, way to speak to Willows, the but Ter. and in a few minutes, half a dozen servants dropped into the room. Diffidently, they looked at the guests and then seated themselves in a row behind the others.
 Slowly, OLeary walked to the desk and sat down in Sayler's swivel chair. He turned on the desk lamp and leaned both elbows on top of the desk.
