ing" A moment later he added fox
good measure, Put on your masks.
We may have to S the tear gas!"
Still there was no sign that they
were pursuing anything except a
phantom conjured up in their own
lmaginations. Henry stood notion
less. He decided they had cone too
far from the exit alreadS sThe fell
low wasn't soaring easily. Suppose
he didn't at all? Suppose he
called their bluff!
Richard lifted his lips close to
one of his fathers ears. Listen! I
hear boards creaking"
There was no mistaking ia
faint sound that could only be
made by the cautious movement Of
a heavy body.
Hes not far away"
Hes opening a Window"
The shrill protest of a long IN.
used sash being lifted out through
the night. Shoes scraped across a
window sill.
"Heh!" cried Laurence from the
rear Of the building. There he
goes! Catch him, Henry"
Henry had no intention Of doing
any catching, but he was embold-
ened to the flight of their quarry.
Down the hall he and Richard ran.
They found the dim glow that
marked the window. 1t was open. A
cold win blew in.
Henry stuck his head outside.
His eyes saw fairly well, as they
were accustomed to the deeper
darkness inside. The man they
were after vas stumbling across a
field toward the road. There was
something vaguely familiar about
the lurch Of his gait. but Henry
couldn't identify him.
They walked back toward the
front door, their hearts easier. u
wonder why he came here? Rich
ard asked.
There's an old saying that a
criminal returns to the scene of his
crime"
On the front porch they paused,
and fumbled along the wall until
they retrieved the umbrellas they
had left there on first entering tho
building. III
DO you think he'll come back ?"f
I'm sure of it, He's a member
of the model railroad club. He'll
have to come here-and appear in
nocent."
They walked down the steps to
the basement train room. "Pop!"
whispered Richard. There's some-
one else inside. Do you suppose he's
come back already. while we were
getting the umbrellas" He moved
to protection ehind his father.
Henry thought it must be Laur-
ence, but it was not Laurence. He
took a step back, treading on Rich
ards toes in the doorway. 1t was
Hans SVenson!

CHAPTER ~TWENTY-EGHT

CHAPTER TWENTY-EGHT
THERE WASN'T time for q
murderer to do all that" declared
Henry, contradicting the theory by
Laurence Hardness that the killer
Of John I've; had first forced Ives
to wreck the model trains.
The young farmer-artist shook
his head. PLENTY Of time. Suppose
when Ives entered that room he
met a man holding a gun :"
Impossible. There couldn't have
been anyone in the room with him,
unless n of the members Of the
club sneaked in after him."
"All right. Suppose one Of the
club members ducked in through
the doorway after him when the
lights were turned down, and stuck
a gun in his ribs and propped a
note up on the switchboard where
Ives had put his book of in~struc-
tons. All the note would have need
ed to read would be, Start trains
hold down relay No. IT,"
And what happened when the
trains crashed?"
AT that moment the killer fred
his shot. The crash covered the
sound Of the shot, especially if
there was a silencer on the gun"
"G-gosh! You've got it all figured
out" breathed Richard, who had
been listening wide-eyed.
Henry wasn't satisfied. 1T re-
quired perfect timing to make the
crash and the shot Simultaneous"
Not necessarily. The crash
wasn't over in an instant. The To-
comotives nit, went off the track.
and then a couple of cars piled up."
Henry still didn't like the theory.
There was something about it that
couldn't be true, he told himself,
although he couldn't put his finger
on 1t.
Come. III show you the control
room," Laurence offered.
1hey crossed the main operating
space and ducked under the table

per half of he door into the train
dispatching compartment where
Ives had been shot.
The small room, with it's plas-
tered walls and ceiling, seemed un-
changed. In the center of the floor
taking up lluch of the available
space. was the large, solidly built
desk on whose polished sloping
black top precise geometric lines
represented on a small scale the
various tracks in the main room
AT regular intervals were small
glass buttons of various colors.
Laurence explained that inside
the desk under the buttons were
tiny electric light globes that were
switched on by the passage of a

train along a corresponding length
OF track in the main room, The
movement Of lights represented the
movement Of trains.
For each section or division Of
track there was a power switch to
stop and start trains, and a revers-
ing switch to change the direction
OF travel on that division. There
were three lheostats to control
speeds, each so wired that it could
De switched into the power circuit
supplying any division of track.
It's the latest type and prac-
tlcally f%oolproof," Laurence told
Henry and his son. You can see
instantly how all the power
switches are set. 1t was Hans who
pointed out to the police that they
were set wrong when Ives was
killed"
where did you learn to build
things like this ?" Henry asked.
i haven't learned. It's Hans
who's the electrical wizard. The
rest of us picked up a few things
from him, but when there's any
complicated job to be done we call
on Hans. You ought to see his dia-
grams of the wiring system for
this layout"
Richard was impatient. when
are you going to run the trains ?"
You can wait a few minutes"
his father told him. while we're
here we want to see if there's any
other way to get into this room.
That's the only possible chance
anyone outside the railroad club
could have shot Mr.. Ives.
While Richard remained at the
switchboard, fascinated, the two
men examined the entire room
They even tapped every wall to
learn if there were any hollow
spots. Solid as a rock" observed
Laurence.
I'm sure there are no concealed
DOORS" Henry agreed.
And there isn't a break In the
floor or ceiling.
Henry looked upward. Ceilings
all plastered, too. Don't use that
electric light fixture in the center,
l see. No globe in it,"
NO. The VIKINGS disconnected.
We prefer the desk lamp" He
moved the flexible stand Of the
lamp that arched over the SWITCH
board. you see, it gives us a con
centrated light where we want it,"
He sat down and put his hands on
the controls. DO you want to go
outside and watch the trains. Rich
ard? You can't see them in here,
you know"
I'd like to see the lights work"
Laurence grinned. He snapped

trcl panel. One of the lights on the
panel g!oWed red, another white.

was going to be fooled by so patent

Fear had Henry by the heart.
He leaped sideways, pulling Rich
ard with him.
"G-gosh, Pop" whispered the
boy. did you hear something's"
Henry sought desperately for his
courage. "Everything's okay, Ser
geant," he doomed. Keep your gun
ready. Too bad We haven't enough
men to surround the building. He
may run for the back door"
Richard whispered, Il thought
we wanted him to go that way?"

be we can sneak up on him" He
began to rise up and down on his
toes when he found the floor would
squeak under him. 1t sounded like
a dozen men tiptoeing down the
hall, he hoped.
The building was tenanted by
strange sounds. Henry tried to con-

CHAPTER NINE

CdAPlE Elk EN- NINE
HENRY FOUND his son stand
ing with his back to the model rail
road right-of-way, hands gripping
the table behind him. The 15-year
old boys wide eyes stared at the
outer door of the big room. 1t shut
with a jar and a click, and foot
steps ran across the outer porch.
Henry, although he had dashed
into the room expecting the worst
was unarmed. He asked b%reathless-
ly, who vas it ?"
The boy could only point to the
door. He had lost his voice.
From under the scenery, in from
the train dispatcher's room, ducked
Laurence Hardness. He gripped a
screWdriver in one hand like a dag
ger. mo one here"
There was" said Henry. "Rich-
ard saw him. He went out the door.
What did he look like, Richard ?"
The boy shook his head. IL
only saw half his face. l heard the
door opening. He peeked in and
saw me and pulled his head back
again"
A crash sounded overhead.
Hes entered the lodge" Lau-
renee gasped. Maybe We can trap
him."
1t seemed a foolhardy idea to
Henry. Suppose he's got a gun? ?"
Hell think We have guns, too"
But we haven't"
Good grief!' exclaimed Lau-
renee. This may be Jul only
chance to get to the bottom of the
mystery of Ives death. Are we 60
ing to let it slip through our
hands
Again the deciding factor was
Henry's desire to appear a hero to
his son. IAN right" he agreed.
What will we dog"
Follow him."
"G-gosh!!" said Richard.
Henry grabbed up the only wea-
pom he could find "a brace from a
wooden packing case. 1t had a
wicked looking nail in the end.
Laurence led the way out the door,
with Henry close behind and Rich
ard in the rear.
Laurence paused in the shelter
OF the overhanging roof. Maybe
he'll try to escape through the back
door. I'll run around there. You

Bridge is usually considered an afternoon or evening pastime, but in Richmond, Va, Mrs. Mary Dou- vile and Mrs. Virginia Brown run q tournament every Tuesday morn ing starting at 10 o'clock. From SO to 75 women can be counted upon to participate.
 That seems rather early in the morning to play bridge-I don't know that my wits would be sharp enough to do well; but Mrs. Douvtlle sent me today's hand to prove that, despite the early hour, the women are wide awake.
