1t seemed to Ellery that three Of the
twenty-odd boy faces were rather too elab-
orately blank. One of them was set on
husky shoulders: this boy was blond, hand
some, and dead white about the nostrils.
The second was sharp-nosed, jet-haired
boy with Mediterranean coloring who was
perfectly still except for his fingers, and
they kept turning pencil over and over
almost ritually. The third, thin and red
haired, showed no life anywhere except in
frightened artery in his temple.
ELLERY made up his mind.

Suppose we begin by finding out about

''One dollar was mine. Miss McDoud,

No. Miss Carpenter had replied bravely,
she did nor have Mr.. Hinsdale's permission,

room :. seven minutes late.
Ellery braced himself and opened the
door.
THE moment he sci foot in the room he
knew he had walked in on catastrophe.
Louise Carpenter stood tensely straight
at her desk, her pretty face almost as white
as the envelope she was clutching. And
she was glaring at a mass Of boy and girl
faces so blankly, furtively quiet that the
silence sizzled.
The first thing she said to him was, I've
been robbed"
The terrible mass Of boy and girl eyes
followed him to her desk.
Robbed in my own classroom" Miss
Carpenter choked.
He laid his coat and hat gently on her
desk. "A practical joker he smiled at the

what happened this morning?''
Il don't know anything about the

The boy who said that" Ellery kept
his tone friendly. II was one Of the three he
had spotted, the husky blond one. What's
your name, son?'
David Strager." His sneer said: You
don'f scare me. But his nostrils remained
dead white. He was the boy Miss Carpenter
had said worked after school as stock boy
at the Hi-Kwality Supermarket on Amster-
dam Avenue.
"All right. Dave. You tell us about this
morning"
The boy glanced scornfully at the girl
with the Italian haircut. I'VE all knew the
money was in the envelope. This morning
before the bell rings Mrs. Morrell comes in
with her buck and Miss Carpenter puts it
with the other money and lays the envelope
on her desk. So afterward the bell rings,
Mrs. Morrell beats it out, Miss Carpenter
picks up the envelope and takes
look inside. and she hollers, I've been
robbed"
The thin boy with the red hair called out,
So what are we supposed to do, drop
dead?" and winked at David Strager, who
. had already sat down. The big blond boy
winked back.
And your name?'' Ellery asked the red
head.
Joseph Buell. the boy answered def
antly. He was the one who worked at
Kaplan's, the big cigar, candy, and station
cry store on 89th Street. WHO wants their
old seven bucks?"
Somebody not only wants it, Joey.
Somebody's got it,
''Aaa, for all we know she took it her
self" And this was the third of the trio, the
sharp-faced dark boy. If Ellery was right,
he was the one who delivered dy-cleaning

The Democrats already have charged
