r,ApTER TWENTS-S SEVEN

CHAPTER NV Elm -oE1 A'-<
WHEN LINDA opened the door
into the outer room OF the Bagley
Models agency, where she had her
desk, she expected to sec ClaraDeIi
Alderman working at her desk,
desk she had been occupying While
Linda was getting something 70
eat.
Clarabell was 81 the desk. But
she was ret working. She never
would work again.
Her body slumpcd over the desk
and her arms hung Imp at her
sides. The green eycshade was
shattered and her face was half
covered with red blood. Fresh
blood, Linda realized ii that first
moment Of panic.
She wanted to run. To scream
even louder. But some instinct
drew her nearer. Maybe CldraDell
wasn't dead. Maybe if She called
her, there would be It sign OF life.
"Clarabell. Clarabcll.' She was
so near that body now that she
could see the blood on her clothes.
And she could see the bullet hole
in the girls head.
Shot, Clarabrn had been shot
while she stopped over to work.
Ii OF on her blouse
mus ue another wound. But VINO
would kill her? Poor, simple, I'M

had telephoned for a milk snake
only five or ten minutes before.
Why, this just had happened!
Maybe the murderer was some
where near. She shivered ana

Get help. But where? The elevator
operator was down Gil the ArSt
floor and it would be long time
until he could get the signal and
come up. Usually he stood at the
entrance at night and only occa-
sionally turned his head TO see II
signal was flashing. Oh, If this
were only daytime when ali the
elevators shot up ana down, instead
of night with just one operator on
hand.
With trembling hand she
reached for the telephone. She
must get the police, Caroline, Mr..
Baeley.
Then two things happened. A
mans voice had been talking on
Ire radio. Now it stopped and a
woraan's came on. Nina Nevins.
Yes. that was the role Nina was
playing. SO Clarabell had died to
the intonations of voice she wor-
SHIPPED, never knowing about the
woman who had that voice.
But the other disturbance was
so startling that she let the tele-
phone slip to the floor and roll
away.
Distinctly, clearly, subtly she
caught the odor of the perfume
that Nina Nevins used. Suddenly it
seemed to be everywhere. She was
being upset, excited, she whispered
to herself. That perfume was in

Some of the men were finger

pressed against the blotter.
Some Of the detectives went
away. Some more came ana Will
them some reporters.
Miss Avery, you were alone
here all evening with Miss Ackcr-
man." the commissioner Of police
asked.
"Oh yes, ever since Mr.. Bagley
left"
The man turned to Joe, the ele-
vator hoy. Joe, you said you
heard a scream and saw MISS
Avery running. Any chance II
wasn't Miss Avery's scream you
heard?" He paused and asked in a
softer, beguiling voice. Gould II

Joe shifted from one foot to an
other. II don't know, sir. 1 never
heard any of them scream before.
But Miss Avery wouldn't do it. She
just wouldn't"
Linda sprang to her feet, her
eyes black with anger. "You mean
you think 7 did this? That you
want to pin it on ME?"
There, there, Miss Avery. NO
one wants to pin anything on any
one. We just want to find the guilty
party. This girl was murdered and

enemies? somebody important IN
detective circles asked.
The commissioner went on, dis
regarding the interruption. Miss
Avery, could it have been that that
shot, two shots, were intended for
you? The green eyeshade would,
hide your face, this girl is about
your build, and the room is in
shadow. It's J. quite possible mis-
take. Could anyone have wanted
your life?"
At that moment Linda had
stopped to pick up a fallen hand
kerchief. She thought it was her
own until she caught that Whit Of

treacherous. She turned the linen
square around, searching for an in.

POWELL HAS FUNNY
UMPIRE EXPERIENCE

Ed Powell, who is calling them in
the Bi-State league this year, had
an unusual experience the other day,
an experience that usually leaves 4
baseball arbiter reeling. Let's let the
ReiGsville Review tell about Umpire
PoWell's experience.
E. w. Powell, Bi-State league UNI
pire, thinks he has one for the book,
and maybe il is about the first such
instance in organized baseball.
He SAID several days ago he was
calling 'cm over at Mayodan when
Deacon FOgleman was on the mound.
At the conclusion OF the game the
deacon told the umpire: "You gave
me two inside pitches and didn't take
one from me-" he said thankfully,
What did you say?' asked the jumps,
The thanks were repeated. Powell
thinking the compliment from such
Il source, called the base umpire and
asked FOgleman to repeat his words.

said Umpire Powell Il thought the
world ought to be fold about it"

They are dissatisfied at the
