&C.. DR. Thore has made a preliminary
examination Of the body Miss Lumsden was
killed by a blow on the side of the head, a
heavy, crushing blow. probably delivered
while she was riding down the drive on her
bicycle. Since she was found so close to the
house, it's obvious that she must have been
killed just after she took her bicycle out of
the shed in other words, few minutes after
the storm started this evening"
His voice stopped and then went on again:
zone Of my men has discovered a full soda
water bottle which had been thrown in the
bushes nearby. It's my belief and Thornes
that the bottle was the murder weapon. The
glass is thick, coarse. 1t is unlikely that even
a blow strong enough to inflict death would
break a full bottle"
Dimly a recollection came back TO Kay Of
the hving-room that evening Just before the
storm a recollection of the weird storm-lght
cleaning evilly on a tray of squat Bermuda
soda-water bottles with little glass marbles
in their thick necks.
The murder weapon!
She wondered-her first coherent thought.
Does the Major know the body was moved
Has Tim told him." And then again WAS
it Maud who moved the body? And if So
Why"
But the Major didn't seem 90 want TO talk
about that. lie had changed his tune lie had
started TO ask questions: Where were you
when the storm started Where were you
when Alice Lumsden went out 10 the bicycle
shed 70"
They Were all answering, one after the
other Kay answered too, calmly and logically
not really knowing what she said Gradually
as the Interrogation went on the facts started
TO register with her. Gilbert had been able
TO give her an alibi. After she had been with
Maud she had been in the library with him.
Yes she remembered Maud and Elaine had
been upstairs together in Elaine's bedroom,
they said But the Majors quiet Il see" when
they told him sounded skeptical.
Don Baird his face pale and arrogant said
he had been in the slave cottage ever since

eyes on him. They were amused But we
didn't plunge out into the rain hand in hand

ing enough on its own"
The Majors neck was turning a dull red.
I'VE can do without frivolity, Miss Morley"
Then it might be better if you stopped
asking questions with frivolous implications"
1t a mistake TO make the Major
angry. Kay realized that at once with feel
ing of indignation against Simon. Since Kay
had lied to protect her, Simon was out Of this
so far as the Major was concerned. She had
no right to make it worse for the rest OF
them
For long moment the Major was silent,
the pause serving the double purpose of in
timidating them and giving him time to con-
troll his irritation.
When he spoke again the old, slightly POM
pous irony was in his voice.
so you all have perfect alibis for the
time of Miss Lumsdens death! / expected
something of the sort suppose one of you'll
suggest that she killed herself by accident,
falling off her bicycle, hitting her head on a
rock ?"
No one answered 1t wasn't question that
had expected an answer anyway But to Kay
those words brought Jingle of anxiety They
all had perfect alibis-yes
All of them except Tim.
The Major hadn't even thought of question
ing Tim!
She looked at DR.. Thorne again, amazed
that he could be standing there, calm and
impersonal. knowing he did how murder
ously involved in this discussion he could be-
come himself. He caught her eye and smiled.
II was a curious. indefinite smile that did not
comfort her.
The Majors voice doomed again: We'll,
VIC will leave this for moment. After all, the
motive for Miss Lumsdens murder is clear.

Get Masters in here to confirm it," he said
IF you don't believe me-"
Major Clifford looked at the boatman, his
eyes family sardonic. First an alibi with
DR.. Thorne; now an alibi with Masters. Only
the best is good enough for you, en- Baird?"
Don scowled Kay glanced shakily at him.
remembering Tim Thorne's story of what bad
really happened last night realizing with a
chill of doubt that, however good his albi
for this crime, Don had, in fact, no alibi at
all for the time of Ivor's death.
The Major concentrated his attention on
Terry now. We'll Mr.. Chiltern only you and
Miss Morley are left. I suppose you're going
to tell me you were together all the evening ?"
His sarcasm was heavily obvious. Kay saw
its effect on Terry. the lips in his pale,
uncertain-eyed face finch. This the first
time she had been with him since Gilbert had
told her the pitiful story of his forgery, Poor
kid, he must have been in agony all day, fear
ing that at any minute the facts of it might
come out, and open up for him untold
avenues of danger.
CHORTLY, she remembered that the evidence
against him was still in Tins possession.
She looked at the doctor still uneasy from his
cryptic remarks in the library
The black medical bag as nerve racking
10 Kay as a time bomb lay on the floor at
his feet.
Terry had not answered the Majors ques-
ton He glanced at Simon who sat next to
Don on the couch, magnificently cool with
her grape-bloom blue eyes. her warm peach
tan and her indolent persmmon mouth.
Then he said: Yes Simon and were to-
gether all evening. We were here in the liv-
ing-room with Mother and Elaine and Don
when Alice told us she was going to the
police station. Then Mother made us all 60
away. Simon and l went together too

A IL that happened later seemed to Kay
- like a dream. Somehow she found her
way upstairs 70 her room. She slipped
off her sodden clothes and soaked herself in
a steaming hot bath trying TO get warmth
back into her. But even after she had dressed
in wooden sweater and skirt that deep
seated chill had not been banished
Her impression Of the living-room as she
went downstairs, was vague as if it had been
seen by someone else who had told her about

she knew who had killed Mr. Drake and was
planning TO tell me what she knew. The two
crimes are as closely connected as any crimes
can be" He stroked his stubby grey
mustache. I'm consequence, l am going TO re-
turn to the events Of last night which is still
the crux of the case"
once again he extracted from the pause
~ that followed every ounce of suspense. BY
now Kay was becoming familiar with his
tactics and she felt that this was the zero
hour for a new unexpected offensive.
His gaze had switched back TO Terry
Il understand Chtern, that you went out

in the sailboat until after brakes body

Terry's face tried 10 conceal it's apprehen-
sion. Yes. That's right
Last night you claimed that your sister
was with you at the actual time Of the death
But this morning. when Miss Chiltern revised
so much Of her original statement, she denied

Elaine looked up sharply, her dark hair
tumbling around her face. Terry said
mo She wasn't with me- That was lie
I'm other words you were alone?'
YES I was alone"
your sister claimed something else this
morning." the Major said in voice that was
omnously quiet. "She claimed that she saw
Drake leave the mainland dock In the speed
boat alone and alive. If she's telling the truth
we have TO assume that Drake was killed
either at the island-or on the way to the
island. Don't we"
Terry looked at Elaine and then down at
his blue sandaed toes. Il guess So"
Where was the sailboat moored last night
when you went to it"
The sharpness Of the question startled
Kay.
Terry said blankly: About fifty feet or
so off the mainland dock"
"And how did you get to it,"
II took a rowboat over from the dock

ton that this nation should bend
every effort TO aid "democra-

The measure will be sent to

both houses. The house Is ex-
pected to act first and admins
tration leaders said prompt ap-
provsl In that chamber is as
sured. They conceded, however
that opponents might delay 1t
considerably In the senate.
Senator Wheeler (D-Mont), q
foe of the Administrators inter-

"the opposition will be quite
formidable" and told reporters
that the presidents lis q most
fantastic foreign policy for US
to follow"
On the other hand, Senator
Austin (R-Vt), the acting MI
nority leader, said that congress
should act on an aid-to-Brit-
ain progrsm at once.
"The sooner we get started, "
he said, "the better It will be
for both this country and Brit
ain"
Senator Johnson (R-Calif),
like Wheeler an administration
critic on foreign affairs, said
that, while he had not yet met
with colleagues who opposed
administration policy, he would
be glad to talk with like-mind-
ed people"
There were many indications
that Wheeler, Senator Clark
(D-Mo) and others would seek
to build q senate organization
to fight the presidents pro-
gram. Wheeler claimed recently
that the opposition already
counted q dozen senator's and
would grow In strength as de-
bate progressed.
Administration leaders ap-
peared extremely confident,
however, and Barley said that
while there will Of course be
opposition, don't believe we
will have any great difficulty"
No committee consideration of
the measure was scheduled be-
fore next week, but the house
foreign affairs committee was
expected to work rapidly once it
takes up the bill.
One congressional leader said
he was hopeful the measure
could be laid on MIR. Roosevelts
