wealthy widow, and she lives here at this
summer home with three servants. At the
time of the killing. which the coroner places
at about midnight, the butler is not in the
house. 1t is his night out and he claims he is
canoeing around the lake with one of the local
bellies. The cook and the maid are in their
rooms on an upper floor in another wing of
the house. The cook admits she hears noise
around midnight, but she figures it is only a
car on the road backfring. The maid hears
nothing. When the butler leaves he locks the
front door and goes out through the back
entrance, to which he has key. There is no
sign of any door being forced open so it is
probable the killer climbs to the second-floor
bedroom window
Mrs. FITzFNNEY is late sleeper, and her
body is discovered only an hour ago when the
maid goes into her room with breakfast The
room is mess, with bureau drawers pulled
out and things scattered all over, but as far
as anyone knows there is nothing missing
not even Mrs. Fitzfnney's fifty-gand pearl
necklace, which is lying on her dressing-room

That's something" says Kitty. AT least

I'm sure Mr.. Foldyce will solve it in his

says. I'm turning in now. I've got to start

he is right where he starts from, only more
confused There is no known motive, and no

course, haven't moved in any direction either,
and, oddly enough, neither has the great
super -sleuth Foldyce, although he is looking
wise and limiting around at an important de-
velopment which is coming up. Dan knows
he has to act fast.

says. "She lived in that big estate down the
road. She was murdered last night Someone
put two bullets in her. They just found the

his hands. 1T won't take me minute to

GO where?" asks Dan.
1T seems we have murder mystery to
