CHAPTER ELEVEN

Supposing that Lieutenant MOT
gan Was from the police depart
ment. Madge was surprised when
the car stopped in front of the
Hall of Justice and he asked her to
come with him.
In a few minutes she was step
ping out OF the elevator on the
same floor where she had been
that afternoon. and her amaze
ment increased as Morgan, walk
ing beside her. opened the door
which bore the name, Walton
Bryce" on the panel, and stood
aside while she entered.
This Way
This way. Miss Kendall" he
said. and she was ushered into the
private office where, but few
hours before, she had carried on
her peculiar conversation with
Bryce after he had warned her
about the dictaphone.
A short, dapper man, with a
shock of gray hair and heavy
gray eyebrows, arose and step
ped forward to greet her. She
recognized him instantly from his
pictures as the District Attorney
and scarcely needed his intro
duction to Identify him.
His face was deeply lined, and
she thought as she bowed, that he
was every inch the politician she
had pictured him.
Will you sit down over here,
Miss Kendall please?" he sug-
gested politely. and ushered her to
a chair back of the desk. It was
the chair where Bryce had sat dur
ing her interview.
Waring
She looked quickly about the
room. but didn't recognize any of
the half dozen men except Victor
Waring, VINO was standing by a
window. He gave no indication
that he recognized her, and she
quickly turned her eyes from his.
Il know you must be a bit puz-
zled, Miss Kendall" Roland Beatty
began, "at being called down here
at this hour of the night. I want
to thank you for cooperating
with us.
"As you may know, one of my
assistants, Walton Bryce, was
shot down outside OF his home
tonight and later, I regret to say,
died in the hospital. We are try
ing to get to the bottom of this
terrible crime, and to that end,
we plan to question everyone with
whom he came in contact re-

Il would be very happy to help
you if I could. Mr.. Beatty the
girl said. But | know absolutely
nothing about Mr.. Bryce"
Perhaps you can help us more
than you think Beatty said,
smoothly. IF you'll be so good as
to answer some questions. we
might get an angle to work on.
You knew Mr.. Bryce, didn't you ?"
No, sir"
Beatty, who was standing
across the desk from her, leaned
forward, his face not more than
two feet away and stared into
Madge's eyes.
you astound me, Miss Kendall
Didn't you call on him in his office
here, this afternoon"
Yes, I did"
"Then why do you say you didn't
know him ?" Beatty demanded,
a note of triumph in his voice as
though he had trapped this pretty
girl in lie.
Because I didn't. Today was
the first time I ever met him.
talked with him but few minutes
That certainly doesn't constitute
knowing him, does it,"
Tense Attitude
Beatty relaxed from his tense
attitude, and drummed on the edge
of the desk with his fingers. This
wasn't to be so easy as he hao
fancied.
Perhaps I'd better lay my
cards on the table, Miss Kendall,
he said, finally. What want to
know is what you talked with Mr.

Save on Towels II

JOLIET, Ill. = Singing In the
bathtub, despite the wear and tear
on the neighbor's nerves, has been
recommended to save the wear and
tear on bathroom linens.
Scientists at the American In
stitute of Laundering approved Of
bathroom yodeling after research
showed that it takes the place of a
too-vigorous rundown.

and seek new vigor by strenuous

THE result is bath towel that is
ruined by having its body stretched

The institute concluded that
such maltreatment ranks with
shoe wiping and razor blade clean

Why do older women refer 10

Why get so excited about

glad your mother is so young in

older persons who are defeated
