STORY INVESTIGATED

Police also are investigating
Miss Fontaine's story that she
beard a loud thump in the room
adjoining hers, shortly before
Dodge went out on the porch, on
the theory that the deceased man
might have fallen there.
Or. Plinn Morse, pathologist al
Harper Hospital, has said that
Dodge might have suffered his
fracture several hours before his
collapse.
The theory that Dodge might
have been injured in fight with
William Tucker. at whose house
next door his wife, Mrs. Dora
Dodge. was visiting that evening,
has been virtually discarded by
police, after several witnesses said
that the encounter between Dodge
and Tucker never got beyond the
verbal stage, and was conducted
through a screen door.

By GEORGE McMANUS

Bill Talcott had once been, he had become something sinister and strange. He was someone she did not know perhaps had never known. Whatever his deadly game with Halsey, Struthers and Mac Dowell, he could have 1t all to him. self. She had been a fool to come here.
 As quickly as it came, the re- solve to pack and escape crystal ized in her brain. She was draw ing away when movement out- side the window held her. A cloying, nameless fear caught at her throat, robbed her of the power of movement. So near she could touch him, shadowy fig ure loomed and began slow, ambling walk toward the pier.
 Someone had been there, watch ing as she watched the tableau in the water. Had the presence of the schooner prevented an entrance to her room?
 The figure was lost in gloom when, from the sea in the direc- tion of the pier, came the heavy boom of shot.
 Once it sounded. And then from the depths of darkness be- Iyond her window arose a wild, angry below followed by the pounding beat of shoes on the path.

tear you to pieces. They won't stop. Miss Petersons disregard of my order has already aroused them. The slightest violence will upset the balance"
 For Gods sake, MacDowell!'' Halsey cried hoarsley. Cant you tell when a man is speaking the truth? Your cap pistol wouldn' t amount to peanuts! Put 1t away!"
 The detective hesitated with ill., disguised anger. Why'd he clip me?" he demanded. Why'd he wait until my head was turned? You mean to say that whistle an her screamin' wasn't no setup?"
 June Paterson trembled. What ever MT. Talcott may have done, the scream was entirely my own idea. Please, IT." She became suddenly limp and would have fallen had not Halsey,s arm sup ported her.
 Without too much grace, Mac Dowell stood aside to let them through. Indecision and bewilder- ment struggled with anger in his expression. He knew what he would do. Put Talcott in irons and palaver afterward. Fundamentally an un- complex individual MT. MacDowell's s theory was to locate the source of trouble to put 1t out of business. But he didn't know what was out there; his mustache twitched nervously as he peered into the darkness before closing the door.
 Black Sam brought restoratives, administered them with the de- tached calm of physician, waited until Miss Paterson showed signs of revival, vanished at a nod from Bill Talcott.
 That guy makes me nervous, Mcdowell muttered. He don't stay in one place long enough to-" His eyes hardened. What was all the screamin' an whistle blowin' about?"
 So June Paterson told him. Of discovering the natives in the dark, their menacing attitude Halsey's courage, the arrival of Sebastien, and later of Talcott When she was finished, Halsey abruptly cut off @ oss-examina- ton.
 Miss Paterson has had sum- cient excitement for one night, Halsey said. My dear, why don't you go to bed? Tn the morning 1t will all seem like q very bad and distant dream"
 Talcott's eyes were on her. cold and unapproving. The man seemed made of ice and concrete: unlike the others, no slightest trace of precipitation showed in his face. No emotion showed there either; be- yond the faint flash of his eyes he was stone.

and arose from the couch. Good night, dear" she said softly and lifting her face, kissed him on the lips.
 That brought a reaction from Talcott Dull red mounted from his collar to the rims of his eyes He seemed as If about to speak, and then, turning, he strode from the house.
 She aWoke from troubled sleep with a startled sense of reality, of emergence from a hay, swift mov- ing world into one that was sharply focused and sinister. It was still night; unobstructed stars gleamed balefully through her unglazed win- dow. Dawn she knew, was not far of; soon, with the swiftness of a drawing shutter, the sun would beat mercilessly down. Already the nights welcome coolness had pass ed; there had been rain, for a square of floor by the window was dark with Wetness.
 She lay moment beneath her netting, trying to fathom what had awakened her. And then, be- yond the slope on the sea side she heard voices. Detached, un- even; drifting shouts. Drawing a robe about her slim figure she crossed to watch a panorama oi moving light fingers.
 There were two shafts. Ont threw into bold relief figures or the beach. Instantly she recog. nized Sebastian, and beside hin the huge native Tomas. They were watching the white patt thrown by the powerful fiashligh in Sebastian's hand to where thu outlined gray hull of a schooner was perilously close to the shore
 You want to get wrecked hey?" Sebastian,s yell hoated up
 From the schooner a crisp harsh voice answered, "Ligh your pier. We want to land!"
 No light the pier!" Sebastien' yell increased in volume. MI know youl We got plenty trou' bles now. You stay awayw
 The schooner swung slowly about, wallowing in the trough ol waves. An end to stiffness, thu untitled boom of her engine: echoed and she swung in a wid' circle, heading wes to the land. ing place. SebaStiens enrageC cries followed them, and the ligh in his hand bohhed crazily witt his running.
 A nice hospitshle place this is June Paterson thought. If tht schooner could land 1t woulC afford her the opportunity Of es' cape. She was tired, sick anS thoroughly frightened now. Therl was evil here, No matter wha.

MYSTERY SHIP CHAPTER VI

A hush came upon the terrace; a void of silence as If every living thing on the island could sec and recognize the danger in that vicious sntlb-nosed pistol. Even the wind Seemed to hesitate and the rustling of the palms was stilled. About them the only thing that lived was the smell of the long dead rocks. Strange, how that odor could be- come a part of your life. How 1t dehdened and clawed at you with invisible fingers. Like the creeping growth of jungle. Everything was unreal; the dark sea. the house, the sagging battered detective outlined In the doorway; the hunched, ex- pectant figures. Only the nauseat- lng smell was real, and the pistol hl MacDowell's hand.
 Put down the gun"
 It was Bill Talcott who said 1t. His voice, too, was unreal Calm, with the deep reverberance of a drum beat. It shattered the mo- mentary hypnosis, whipped frayed nerves, Halsey made a half turn with fists elenched, and the girl tried out, "Don'ti"
 Put down the gun," TaIcott said again. His manner and voice were tired; his was the weariness pf a father with a recalcitrant phild.
 MacpOwell's glaring eyes sought kfalsey. "He tried to get away from me-" Mcdowell snarled. wit his tricks O blowin' whistles MI hAvln' this dame scream SOS 70 catch me off my guard. He slipped me on the jaw and knocIEed me coIdl"

Seventy-five applicants for citi-

In by Judge Robert l.. Munger, at

equal number will receive final pa
pers at the resumption OF the ses-

The anticipated total, about $50,
Is almost half the number granted
