Kaye did not notice this OK
change. Her attention vas fixed on
Janet, who replied:

her.

Janet shook her head.

but to Kaye, although she was to

words were an almost unbearable
shock.
Softly the chief spoke again.

"Mark-dead." Duly, she re-
peated his words. She made no eff
fort now to pull away from Janet's
sustaining hand. INTERESTINGLY, she
allowed her cousin to guide her to
a chair. "What-? How"
That is what we are trying to
find out. You may be able to help
us. You say he told you tonight
that you couldn't marry David
Otis. Tell us about that"
But Kaye a in ne condition to

phrasing had caught her attention.

she leaned toward him.

"How-but not who killed him"

that Hayes late entrance, with

aroused his suspicion. Her piteous
eyes We're fastened on his.
You mean" it was the merest
whisper, somebody killed Mark
killed-him."
Yes" Then the horror on her
face seemed to soften him. He add
ed gently: He was sitting at the
library desk-someone shot him
there. We're trying to find out who
that someone was. Now, Kaye, tell
us what Mark said to you about
your marrying David Otis"
Like . flash, she turned upon me.

Her sudden attack almost took
my breath away. l knew she was
thoroughly upset, but I couldn't
understand why, after the conf
deHces she had given me, she
should turn upon me like that.
Only someone with something to

He smiled, LAS bad as that ?"

because he said no more and be-

He drew up before the Fleuric
