thereafter struck the stride that
made him the batting champion in
1887 with an average Of .374.
He hit .3Ol in 1876, SIS in 1871
and 300 in 1882, all " which is
not bad. but he never was able to
muster his Oldtime power and
never was the threat that he had
been when he was out there in
the St Louis sector
As Dodger he has been just
good journeyman ball player, and

CHAPTER FpRTY.FoUR


"IF THAT knock didn't come
from the door, it came from behind
a wall Of this roomw Clemantine
asserted. Someone's been listen
ing"
Willard shook his head. you are
mistaken" The smile was gone
from his face. Are you accusing
me Of hiding an-accomplice?"
II don't know what to think. ="
"Come, Clemantine," Agatha or
dered firmly. She stood, her face
stern and masklike, as best she
could make it so-ready to leave.
Clemantine hesitated a moment,
uncertain, then picked up her suit
case and led the way downstairs.
Agatha cast one look back, saw
Wizards sightless face staring
after her. There was something
about the deep lines in his cheeks
that struck her heart. Yes, Willard
probably knew or suspected the
truth about her, and was debating
whether or not he should tell!
Good night, Willard" she said
softly. "And-thank yor." She shut
the door at the foot OF the stairs
and pulled it tight to make sure it
latched. She didn't want any spies
sneaking in on the blind boy. As
she looked up from the sidewalk
outside, the light in the upstairs
window went out and the rattle of
the typewriter resumed.
Clemantine observed, whatever
that knocking was, Willard was not
surprised. And yeti can't believe
he is guilty OF anything wrong. He
sacrificed himself for us once. He d
do it again"
Agatha shuddered. IT hope not
How on earth can he know who
killed Professor Halder, and how it
was done?"
Maybe he doesn't. Perhaps he
has been reading too many cheap
detective stories. He has a mania
for detecting"
He can't read, as we do-and
they wouldn't print cheap detective
fiction in braille. He must know
Il don't believe it," said Agatha
desperately If he knows, why
hasn't he gone to the police? That's
what 1 CANT understand 49, why
hasn't he gone to the police?"
Gould it be possible he doesn't
trust the police? The FBI man said
the police have bungled. Perhaps
it is worse than bungling."
Nonsense. Don't tart accusing
Lieutenant Larkey OF being the
spy. We've already made too many
bad guessss."
II wonder? One of the guesses
must be right"
They reached the gate in front
Of the rooming house and turned
into the yard. Agatha's eyes ner-
vously searched the deep shadows
under the shade trees on the far

motionless among the hanging
clothes, then she tiptoed back.
II heard a click" she whispered.
Exactly like the click Of gun be-
ing cooked"
"Nonsensew But Agatha was
whispering, too. There are a thou
sand sounds like that-and a hun
dred different kinds Ct guns"
Where is that % revolver OF
yours?"
II suppose IT'S still down
stairs, where Willard examined it.
1 was too excited about the radio
tube to :"
Listen! She's walking across

The fat girl next door must have
stepped on a squeaky board. Aga
tina heard it. plainly.
II never realized how sounds
carried through that open closet"
Clemantine whispered. "Auntie, do
you suppose she's the spy"
Agatha thought. "Everyone's
been looking for a man. Maybe
that's why the spy has escaped.
Maybe she's a woman" Agatha
wasn't even able to whisper. The
possibility that their enemy was
coming at them from the next room
was too much for her.
The door into the hall opened
from the fat girls quarters. The
stairs squeaked. The fat girl was
descending.
Agatha breathed deeply again.
She's probably just going out to
supper. Chances are we imagined
the gun-and everything
Clemantine opened her own door,
quickly and silently. sped out on
the carpeted landing and leaned
over the balustrade. She was back
in a fash. "Now she whispered.
Her face was white. I'VE didn't
imagine anything. She has a gun in
her hand. Do you realize, at this
hour Of the evening we're in the
house alone with her. She's gone to

Good heavens, What will we
do?"
They heard the chain latch rattle

the door OF the parlor below them
creaked open.
shes not going to take any
chances" whispered Clemantine.
She's going to lock he back door,
too"
Have we time to summon
help"
Yes. Quick! Wen telephone
Hans to come, and pick up one Of
those federal men on the way"
Clemantine remembered the tele-
phone number. but apparently
someone else answered the phone.
Agatha waited breathlessly while
the click Of the back door locking
came up the stairs.

side Of the street. "Clemantine
someone is standing there" she
whispered.
"Proba bly, one Of our FBI guard
ians," said Clemsntine. but she
needed no urging TO hurry.
When the door shut and clicked
behind them, Agatha reminded her,
Were supposed to be bait for the
spies. We have everyone watching
us now! We can't tell if they are
friend or foe"
She was sorry Immediately that
she hadn't kept her fears to her
self. Clemantine was obviously
frightened. She did what college
girls usually attributed only to old
maids-she looked under the bed
in her room as soon as they had
reached It.
Goodness, child" protested
Agatha, trying to express conf
dence she didn't feel. with the
federal men watching the building
we're safer than ever"
II wonder? Suppose the person
they're watching for is already in
side this house ?" She opened her
suitcase and started unpacking.
I'm in favor OF sitting up all
might"
I'VE can't do without rest"
Il won't get any rest. My minds
too full. Do you suppose that Will
lard is right-that Professor Hal
der wasn't killed for his invention
at all? 1 wonder what he meant
bout the professors working on
another invention for the first
World war? What happened then
You were here"
Don't pay too much attention to
what Willard says. He has wild
Imagination" Agatha removed her
hat and looked at her guilty face in
the mirror.
Just the same, I'm going to do
some investigating tomorrow. The
newspaper files Of World war days
ought to give us a hint of what
Willard was talking about. Mr..
Belzer can help me look it up"
"You won't find any mention of
Otto's invention" Agatha snapped.
The censors wouldn't let the pa
pers print a thing. And / wouldn't

much attention to his theory"
Goodness, auntie! Just because
Willard limited there was some dark
secret in your husbands life is no
reason you have to take it out on
Willard"
He limited nothing OF the sort"
He certainly did. Listen" She
held up a hand. What was that
noise ?"
II heard nothing" The girls
wide eyes made Agatha's heart
beat faster, but she tried not to
show it.
Clemantine tiptoed into the closet
and put an car against the wall.
For a long minute she stood there
