CHAPTER FOURTEEN

NOT EVEN to Robert and Car
oline, though, did Linda mention
Sarah's name as a possible enemy.
1t would have been a natural ad
mission, but she realized that she
had no reason to believe that Sarah
would try to murder her or frishten
her. Anyway, there was no possible
way for the theatrical magnate's
daughter to gain entrance into the
apartment.
Robert, thinking the matter over,
finally insisted that the police be
notified. Together the three of
them reported the matter at the
nearest station and walked back to
the apartment. Dawn was breaking
as they retraced their path. Men
We're emptying the refuse cans
along the curb and milllmen were
hurrying back and forth with their
white bottles. The rain was blow
ing away in a cold mist.
Linda shivered. The world was
an eerie place this morning, and
she didn't want to enter her apart
ment. But when Robert had eX-
amined it'carefully, announced that
1t was safe, and offered his own
hospitality if me girls were fright
ened, she decided to rest on her
own bed.
Her head ached the next day.
The telephone rang constantly at
the agency, and people dropped in
to question appointments, to en-
press satisfaction or dissatisfac-
ton. When she heard Ronnies
voice at two, she answered CRATE
fully.
Its been a terrible day. I'm just
now going out for lunch" Then,
remembering that Sarah had come
for him last night, "Was the party
fun?"
mot bad. I'm due at a rehearsal
or I'd take you out for luncheon.
Will you have dinner with me to-
morrow night, Linda?"
He had not said, "Tll see you to-
night. Let's have dinner tonight.
What are you doing at tea time ?"
He had placed her thirty hours
ahead on his schedule. Nor had he
mentioned Sarah. But why should
he?
Linda knew her voice was low
and tight as she answered, "Sorry,
Ronnie. Pm booked up"
He laughed and she could see the
teasing light in his blue eyes. 1t
had been there before, long ago,
when she had refused a class party
date or a picnic because he had
carried somebody's else books
home from school. Oh, it was tor
turs to let one man upset your life.
Women were so silly, and yet SO
helpless. .
Now Ronald said, How about
the next night?'
'It's OPEN"
"Good. I'll call YOU

and slipped the small vial in her
pocket. All the way back to the
office she reflected on her new in.
formation. Sarah and Nina both
used this weird, exciting scent.
Either one could have left it, and
yet both of them had been busy
elsewhere last night. And how
could anyone have gained access to
her room? The door was locked
and the night lock was set, too. on
sudden impulse she crossed to q
hardware store and bought a steel
chain and bolt. She would take no
further risks.
1t was after six that evening
when she went to the custodian's
rooms to ask him to have the chain
and bolt put on her door. Briefly
she told him what had happened.
He was a man around sixty,
gray-haired, blue-eyed, rotund, mild
and merry.
miss Linda, you had a bad
dream" he said. "NoW, who would
want to be knocking you off? And
besides, those locks hold. Tut, tut,
child, forget it. But I'll put on this
contraption if you wish it."
Caroline is another witness that
the room was saturated with chlor-
oforrn," Linda went on. Listen,
MacCrae, did anyone come in or go
out late? Didn't you hear any
noises ?"
He drew himself up to his round,
short stature and spoke impress
sively. "These houses in this block
belong to the Markley agency and
there's never one bit of wrong do
ing"
"Markley-the theatrical MANI"
Eyes, madam, himself" .
So Sarah's father might have
the right to pass keys-that was
foolish-a busy man wouldn't be
annoyed with such trivialities.
MacCrae was speaking again.
"-and nobody has had a pass
key, ever, except Miss Nina Nevins,
the actress, who wanted to get in
to a friends rooms the other
night. Miss Nevins is our most
glorious actress used to see
her twenty years ago-and she is a
friend of mine. She comes and sits
and drinks a spot Of tea with me.
Miss Nevins would not open your
door,"
Linda listened quietly. HAS Miss
Nevins returned the key?" she
asked.

gan to ring again, but she didn't
answer. She called to Hortense
Mitchell, who did secretarial work
and substituted fer her at lunch
time, and asked her to take over.
Then, without powdering her nose
or deepening the red on her lips,
she put on her coat and hat and
went out.
She ordered a matted milk and
chicken sandwich at a nearby
drug store counter, drank the bev-
erage and lef+ the sandwich, and
walked dow the street. Spring had
arrived sine the cool, gray dawn,
Sunlight lad gay rugs across the
streets, flower vendors begged the
laughing people to choose violets
or gardenias, and the stores had
decked their windows In brighter
colorS.
Because the odor Of chloroform
was still drifting someH here near,
she decided to be reckless and buy
a small vial Of her favorite per-
fume. 1t was a crushed lilac fra

She went to the perfume counter
and asked fo- her purchase.

new fragrances," the salesgirl eX-
planned. "This, for instance. Isn't
it exotic and seductive?
She put the hottie under Linda's
tilted nose and the strange scent
that she had caught when Nina
Nevins drew near, the victorious
odor that had stayed in spite of
the chloroform, suddenly was all
around.
Its cur special creation, made

attendant went on talking. "Sev-
eral well-known people are using

that she was just casual shopper
and added, But she wasn't using
it a week or so ago."

girls eyes viewed Linda's slim gray
suit and green beret doubtfully
"She just bought it day before yes

Everyone of us owes something

Predict Mob Bill
Will Die In Rush
OF Adjournment

WASHINGTON. D. C.-(SNS)-
Prediction that the anti-lynchine
bill will die in the adjournment
rush was made Saturday.
Should the prediction come true,
southern senators az. other op.
posing solons would be spared the
trouble of trying to talk the bill
to DEATH.
In senate circles Saturday, it
was being said that the measure
would die on the calendar without
even a full blow debate.
The senate goal has set its ad-
journment goal for June and
leaders are taking no chances On
letting their aim be halted by a
lynch bill filibuster.
Bills which fail to receive action
at this session. do not hold over
until next year, but die with ad-
journment.
Should the bill Idle" at this ses-
sion, proponents of the measure
would have to start all over again
covering the entire tedious legisla-
tive route.
