raw and my temper hair-trigger.

l went to Jail for it. See? She's
been real good to me- Remember
that, willya? There's something pho

You're telling me?" I asked as
he let me off.
Eddie nodded toward the Paget

MAY l point OUT" Miss Agatha
asked politely, ''that Everett Ferri-
ter also had access to that machine
and a latchkey to this flat?"
Shannon did not seem to hear her.
He said:
"Fn be taking that typewriter
along, too, Miss Paget. We've found
your nephew's fingerprints on the
keys and space bar. He it was who
used it last. I'm sorry but-we're
taking him in, for further question
ing"
Still holding her aunt's hand, AL
legra felt with the other for chair
and sat down. Miss Agatha moved
ever so little. Her head lifted. A
quiet, more impressive than buster,
was in her voice.
Just one thing, Captain Shannon.
I'm the oldest living member of the
Paget family. 1t has influence in
New York"
Beneath his breath, the policeman
mumbled something.
MISS <ASdLl4o "CIlL
THAT is not a threat, though you
may think so. You're wholly with
II your rights in arresting Grove,
but'-the fine old head, the pre-
else voice went shade higher
''but if you maltreat my nephew, if
you step over any single one of his
legal rights, if you or any of your
tribe lay a finger on him while
you're questioning l shall see to
it that more than finger falls on
you, sir.
1--WE lived" Miss Agatha ended,
"more years in New York than !
care to confess. If you misuse your
authority, I shall misuse my inf1u-
ence. And never" she added, with
an oddly mirthful puckering of her
eye wrinkles, think 1 haven't got
it."
The bell rang as she ceased, as
though her words had smitten some
invisible bull's-eye. Shannon's face
softened a trifle. He looked at her
with respect and an unwilling trace
of amusement.
Miss Paget," he began, you're

I think he intended to compliment
her but he was interrupted. A rud-
dy-faced, elderly gentleman, slight
ly out of breath and more than a
little ruffied, entered. He put on
black-corded glasses to glare at
Shannon and me and then beamed
through them at Miss Agatha. The
old lady gave a slow smile of tri-
umph.
"Tertius," she said, as though he
were a late conner to a reception,

Shannon, this is Senator Groesbeck,

Senator who seemed to regard ev-
eryone but Miss Agatha with the
justifable suspicion of corporation
counsel who had been hauled out of
bed into a murder case. Then !
said:
"I'l be going now, Miss Paget.
Good night.
Thank you, David" she said and
looked at me hard.
I ducked my head toward Alleg-
IA, barely meeting her eyes. think
she started to follow me to the door,
but her aunt, whose hand she still
held, stayed her. AS / departed,
Miss Agatha called after me:
Mine o'clock tomorrow, David.
Or rather, today"
She was not one whose purposes
were lightly thwarted.

and stared at the four dim circles on
the desk top where the typewriter
had stood.
I thought of Lyon and of the voice
I had heard-unless I were screwy
issuing from the booth at Mino's
last night. Could it have been only
last night? Was it really yesterday
afternoon that Lyon and I had
fenced? I found myself sitting
straighter. That broken epee point
had not been accident. The plan
had been to kill me while Everett
searched my room and removed
damaging evidence. What evidence?
I groaned and heard Lyon Ferriter
come along the hall
He was a shade more gaunt but
his smile was cordial and his easy
drawing manner fitted him like a
long used glove. Once more, his
voice and appearance overthrow
my suspicion so violently that /
found myself offended by his poise.
Good morning." he said. 81
didn't expect to see you here"
"Or I you," answered.
He frowned and shrugged his
wide, stopped shoulders. "No," he
agreed, lowering his voice, 81 made
an error in coming. I don't think
there's anything in the etiquette book
to fit just this situation. People can
hardly be normal in such circum-
stances. I've taken enough on the
chin in my time to fortify me bit,
but Ione"-his voice softened as he
spoke of her-''is all apart again. "
81 can understand that" I told
him.
He nodded.
"Of course you do" He paused
and / felt his further words were a
belated retort to Miss Agatha Pag-
ct. AFTER all, we are the-bereaved.
Poor old Everett. / can't imagine
why Grove"
He overplayed his hand. For the
first time, I thought I caught the
faint sound of duplicity in his
speech. His martyred air irked me.
l felt my brain light up and was
canny enough to wait an instant,
curbing myself, before I said:
81 can't imagine that Grove did
it."
Lyon looked at me quite carefully
and then shrugged again.
Fortunately" he said, "this time
my alibi is endorsed. / only know
what the police, and witnesses,
say"
Sure" I answered, "and I don't
suppose you can imagine how Grove
got a key to your fat?"
If that reached him, he did not
show it. He seemed to be thinking
of something that his long brown
face quite hid, before he said:
THAT is not true. ! came here
this morning to tell Miss Paget that
/ would make affidavit that I gave
Grove that key"
Which," I told him, comes I'M
der the head of chivalrous perjury"

the curb. l recall little of my ride

read, as I ate, Cochrane's def story
in the Press. I wished that he had
been a shade less authoritative con-
corning what had taken place in
the Paget apartment, but it was a
well-handled yarn, scrupulously fair
as far as young Paget was con-
cerned. He was still held as a ma
terial witness. Which meant, knew,
that, so far, he had not talked.

and emotions. This is the advice Kath.

"Then one of the members of my
old firm got into the business of
building groups of small houses here
and there over the country; five
room farmhouses and little hacien-
das that sell for $500 down and $35
a month. 1 told Dave I'd do it until
I could buy myself good car, which

Objects to Wife Working.
"All was going serenely when
| Dave broke down two weeks ago in
bitter protest against my continuing
as wage-earner. His arguments
you know, for I've seen them in this
column before. Taking the job from
someone who needs it more. Hurt
ing his pride. Robbing the boys of
their mothers society. Doing what
is unnatural and unfeminine and I'M
wifely.
''What do you think of this? Dave
made scene. He said he had been
wretched for weeks. That his house
was no longer home. That there
was nothing in the world he wouldn' t
buy for me; nothing he wouldn't do
| if I'd just give up this nonsense of
| fireplaces and sinks and driveways
and come home again! He shed
actual tears. He said he loved his
wife too much to have her walking
around cheap raw lots all day with
| a couple of builders and painters
and plumbers.
"Dave leaves at few minutes to
nine each morning. The boys are
off at eight, home at four. / go at
nine, am always home at five. My
colored Frances gives them an
after-school sandwich, sees that they
change their shoes and start their
homework. Dave gets in little aft
er FIVE"
Suffers No Inconvenience.
Martha, I think you're right ana
Dawes wrong. Not that / think ev-
cry married woman who works is
acting wisely. When it means res
taurant meals and unmade beds,
unanswered telephone and nervous
WEAKNESS, then a smart woman
makes some other arrangement.
But in this case of Dave and Mar
| tina it has been worked out for the
benefit of everyone. The boys see
as much of their mother as most
boys do. Frances keeps the house
in order. Martha, who admits to
being a good cook, undoubtedly
does the marketing and supervises
the meals. She is always at home
when Dave gets there.
What more does he want, any
way? What does he think life is?
A lovely home, a good maid, two
small sons, smart wife, money for
luxuries as well as necessities, and
happiness all round if he would only
accept the situation.
Thousands of wives, Dave, may
| duly stay at home between visits to
beauty parlors, shops, movies, mat
inees. But they don't want babies
and they can't cook. And rather
than helping with expenses they in
| crease them in every direction.
Thousands of wives are miserably
unhappy when the last child gets
| off to school, and wonder all day
long what they can do with them
selves and why they are alive any
| way.
Thank God that you have a wom-
an as well as a wife.
