The youth shook his head. "I was
too scared"
The big man turned to the dep
uty. Suppose we leave the coroner
here with the body, and see If we
can follow the killers trail? It
can't be very old, and in this
mud :"
Sure" The deputy pulled out
his gun and made certain it was
loaded. He nay be hiding close
by"
Henry had a queer feeling In the
pit Of his stomach, but he followed
as Jones led the way to the boulder.
The rock provided an excellent
view Of the trail in both directions.
The three men halted atop 1t and
looked around.
He was waiting here quite
while" the deputy observed.
Here's piece Of orange peeling.
He lunched while he waited"
How the devil would he know
Bisbee was coming this way?"
Henty added, How would he
even know the professor had been
let out Of Jail? ?"
The deputy shrugged his shoul-
ders. I'VE put a bulletin on the
short wave radio when he was re-
leased, just in case some Of the Of
ficers might think he'd escaped.
Anyone with a short wave receiver
could have picked 1t up. Why he'd
come here I don't know"
Maybe" said Henry" he was on
his way to meet someone"
John Jones shook his head. "No
use guessing" He pointed to the
ground. THE footprints are easy to
follow in the mud. That's the way
our man went"
Henry had never hunted a killer
before. He was grateful for the
deputy sheriff and his gun, and for
the large bulk Of John Jones.
The trio pushed on through the
wet brush. The retreating killer
had not followed a trail. He must
have been well acquainted with the
hills. His footprints led over
slight rise and down into a ravine
that was a shortcut to the aban-
doned railroad.
Five minutes later the pursuers
stood between the rusted rails.
Which way?" asked the deputy.
1nstinctively he lowered his voice.
as though the killer might be
within hearing.
There were no footprints on the
ties or the gravel ballast. A hun.
dred yards to the north gaped the
dark mouth Of a tunnel. To the
south the track curved out of sight
around the hill.
John Jones pointed to a piece Of
orange peei."He's gone into the
tunnel. Keep that gun ready. Wen

| Henry thought hastily Of Marcia
Wensley and Susan Baker. He
couldn't conceive Of either one OF
them as a murderess.
Jones canes back, holding the
shell in the palm Of his hand, and
passed it over to the coroner.
Where would Bisbee have been
going on this trail ?" he asked. He
must have had some urgent bust
ness shortly after he got out of
jail"
Pretty hard to say" observed
the coroner vaguely, studying the
shell as though he were trying to
ut 1t into some picture he had in
his mind. Half a dozen places he
might have been headed for" He
looked up the hill. Were not far
from Stanley Kings house. The
trail curved below the gardeners
house a few hundred yards back,
and the big house is beyond those
trees ahead. There's private drive
to 1t on the other side of the hill.
Then, too, the professor may have
been taking his short cut to the
old railroad light Of way. That
would take him past the Laurence
Hardness place. And the track
eventually swings around in back of
the Potter and the Baker places
IL he was trying to get around
there without being SEEN"
A deputy sheriff in khaki, pant
ing from the climb, arrived around
the bend, followed by two ambu-
lance men.

deputy. as though he had doubted

Jones hitched his trouser legs
and crouched down beside the body.
"Mm'm. How long ago did this
happen?"
"Id estimate he hasn't been
dead more than an hour" the cor
oner said. "Bill Mullins here tells
