don't know what I'd have done if I'd been
alone in the room with him. But of this much
was certain: wasn't going to make any
play that would increase the danger to Dale.
After all, there was nothing we could do to
help Maxine Collins. realized had a
double job on my hands: first, to keep Dale
from making any move; second, to handle the
situation as quietly and calmly as possible in
the effort to soothe the jittery visitor
Dale said suddenly, IF you aren't going to
phone, Steve - WILL
l said quickly, Hold it, kid. The guys
serious. You're going to work for Philips,
Schirmer & Lee. You'd be playing dirty
trick on them if you got yourself killed."
She looked at me oddly. At first she didn't
tumble to what was trying to do Then
saw comprehension commence to dawn in her
eyes, and she picked up the cue. She said,
II wasn't going to take that job, anyway"
The little man looked at us as though we
were crazy. He snapped, Hey! what kind of
double-talk is that? And whatever it means,
cut it out"
"Okay, Doc" said with what hoped was
an air of superb nonchalance. Then: by the
way, you're moi doctor. are you?"
''O course not"
who are you?"
What difference does it make?''
Its easier to use a name, and it wouldn't
be right just to 60 on calling you Doc
would it?"
HE THOUGHT it over, and then shrugged.

How do you do, Mr.. Slocum. I'm Steve

Oliver He couldn't figure my angle - but he
was trying, and that was all to the good, be-
cause it gave him something to think about
besides the spot he was in.

Ibis habbe,sed in Part One: STEVE WARREN
and DALE CRAYsON, partners in an architec-
tural firm, noticed red-haired girl in the
Blue Penguin looking extremely i'll. When
they helped her to a taxi she tainted and they
brought her to Dale's apartment, where Dale
discovered that she had been shot. Just then
stranger appeared, claiming to be doctor
sent to examine her. They left him alone, but
when Dale glanced into the room, she saw
the man taking jewelry from the girls bag and
putting it in his own pockets Dale and War
rem. realizing he was no doctor, faced him
accusingly. At that moment the girl on the
bed died, and Steve turned to phone the
police DOC" drew gun. IF you touch
that telephone, he said steadily, "I'HkiNy yOu"
Second Of Tioo Parts
Vou think you know what you'd do in
Il situation like that, but when the time
comes you don't do it. You suddenly realize
that it's the real thing, not a motion picture.
If it had been picture, Id have known
precisely how to act. I'd have ordered Dale to
stand out of the line of fire, I'd have trans
fixed covering murderer with fierce and
steady eye, I'd have started slowly across the
room, knowing his courage could not stand
up against mine.
Maybe he'd shoot: maybe not. 1t wouldn't
matter either way. because if he did shoot -
he'd miss. Then I'd wrap up his puny frame
in my big arms and hold him until the cops
came. I'd be the personi6cation of virtue
triumphant and I'd marry the boss's daugh-
ter and win seven refrigerators and four elec-
tric dishwashers on quiz program.
But things gave no promise of working out
that way. Facing us across the dead body of
Maxine Collins was a little man who was
cornered and desperate: man who had COM
mitted one murder and who had nothing to
lose by committing two more.
The fact that he was obviously terrified
wasn't any help, either. A nervous finger can
pull a trigger before it means to, frightened
man can do things that sane, level-headed
person would never think of doing.
Evening star., 1949-09-25

He said, mo use play-acting, Warren.
You'd better start feeling sorry for your
selves
That wouldn' t get us anywhere, would it?''
mo. I've got a job to finish"
us, you mean?"
YES"
really"
Gould what?''
Kill US in cold blood, just like that"
He moistened his lips II wouldn't want
to. But what else is there to do?"
Dale was really in there pitching. As far as
l could see, we were gaining nothing but time.
But even that helped. Maybe the doorbell
would ring. maybe the maid who serviced the
apartment would remember that she had for
gotten something and come barging in. There
were thousand maybes, all unlikely, but
each having its tiny ray of hope.
Looking at it from Oliver Slocum's angle,
there really wasn't much for him to do except
knock us both off and walk out of there 1t
was that simple. Certainly they'd never be
able to tie him up with us, so he d be safe un-
less they connected him with the girl on the
bed. And even if they did that, it'd be the
hard way because they'd find her in Dales
apartment with no proof that Oliver also had
been an actor in the drama.
l SAID, Look, Oliver, why don't we go into
the living room and talk this thing over? We
didn't ask for this, and we don't like what
we've got. There must be some answer other
than the one you're thinking"
could sense that I'd made the only posi-
bic approach. The frightened little man had
meticulous mind. He, too, was looking for
way out. Our apparently casual acceptance
of CHASTITY fact had already had some sooth-
ing effect. My idea now was to get him out of
sight of Maxine body. Then he might really
listen to reason.
He waved us into the living room. He re-
NAMED safe distance from us, 50 that
couldn't hope to Jump him. He motioned us
to the couch and suggested that we sit at
opposite ends of it. He pulled up straight
chair, and sat facing us. He was still coiled
tight {. .. and the gun was still steady. re-
minded myself that with that very gun Oliver
had just committed murder
Get it off your chest, Oliver" suggested.
Maybe we can work something out
He said, shrilly, You're not fooling me.
I know what you're doing. You're trying to
make me relax 50 you can get to me. You
won't succeed. The first move you make ."

stration of what that gun can do"
Dale said, why did you kill her, Oiver?''
He wanted to talk, all right, but he went at
it the hard way. He said, 'tShe took the
jewelry from me. She said she was going to
return it. !"
"Who?" asked Dale patiently.
Maxine. And she refused to 90 away with
me. Even after she'd told me ANYWAY.
she wouldn't
''You were in love witt, Maxine?"
''OF COURSE. Certainly was. That's why
took the jewelry in the first place: so she and
/ would have chance
Dale's voice was quiet, soothing.
Look, Oliver" she said, you've got to
remember that we don't know what you're
talking about. Why not tell it from the be-
ginning? Who are you? What do you do?''
He blinked at her. He said, almost apollo
getically, ''0 course you don't know. For
fifteen years I've been confidential secretary
to William G. Huntington. You've heard of
him. haven't you?"
''Yes," / lied. "Of course"
That seemed to give him certain salts

His voice was steadier almost as steady
as the gun he held, the gun which never wav-
cred.

At his home, not his Office. Then his wife
started calling on me for things. l became
sort of combination errand boy and housecat'' -
They pushed you around, didn't they?"
They didn't know existed"
The picture was getting clearer now: little
man with an overwhelming inferiority COM
plex.
He seemed surprised to find himself talking.
Surprised and pleased. He'd had things bot
tied up inside for long time. I suppose he
was telling himself that it didn't make any
difference how much we knew because at
that moment - he was convinced we'd never
live to tell it. The whole thing would have
been fantastic - if it had been happening to
somebody else.
DALE's eyes rested on mine for a moment,
briefly. She was telling me to give Oliver
Slocum his head. to keep him talking. to play
for time, to give him chance to work off
some of his tension. Oliver drew deep
breath, hesitated for moment, then looked
at us again.
Il was in love with Maxine" he went on.
She said she was in love with me- I always
doubted that, though didn't tell her 50.
