Captain Mcdonald was biting his

in police opinion, should be a rather
perfunctory ceremony. The coroner,
being an ambitious young man,
was out to make headlines.

"N-no. I never saw him drink,
until Tuesday night"
"AE! So he drank Tuesday
night? He must have been under
unusual stress, then, to break a
lifelong abstinence?"
THAT is an assumption. I can't
testify as to that"
"Quite right. Did you notice that
he acted any differently than usual,
aside from taking the drink-or
was it several drinks ?"
II wasn't paying any special at

in which Scarlet comes upon that
moral obligation to shoot to death
that Yankee soldier.
AS the scene was set, Miss Leigh as
Scarlet came to the head of flight
of stairs, glanced down in horror to
see rough looking invader climbing
toward her with a menacing leer.
At that point, she was required to
take from the folds of her dress a
heavy, old-fashioned revolver. point
1t at the intruder and pull the
trigger.
1t sounds quite simple. but hor-
rible thought, quite unrelated to
Scarlet and her affairs, chose that
moment to seize Miss Leigh's mind.
The thought was: Suppose this gun
really is loaded?
Take 1t from Miss Leigh:
II know now how it must feel to
be killer. There was soldier COM
ing upstairs. I realized it was Mr..
Paul Hurst, but when pointed my
pistol at him and pulled the trigger,
the idea burst in my mind like a
balloon that maybe there was bull
