toned most aSsiduously except one, and
she was Rose Malloy, Posey Malloy, the
latest and some said the only girl in whom
he had shown serious interest.
Posey was in the theater; at least she had
few lines in musical show then running
on Broadway - from which and indeed,
apparently, from the face Of the earth,
PoSey instantly vanished. She had no trace
able family; her beginnings we're obscure;
the police never found her.
There were, of course. photographs Of
Posey; the flesh Of the rather striking face
was firm then, and its planes bore little
resemblance to Rose Budley. But there was
also picture of the producer of the musical
show. He had since then gone to his
reward, If any, but it was the same picture
which had slid from the musty portfolio

And Rose Malloy - Rose Budley - had
seen my flash of stirred recollection when
saw the word "Posey."

sitting quietly in savings account under
the name of Rose Budley ever since the

But try as did during the long hours of the

emerged some hours later and really
did not know what to do. Lunch seemed
indicated first in any event; | went to my
club, washed off some Of the CRIME, and
had late and very thoughtful lunch.
With coffee, the waiter brought me the
afternoon paper. And at an item on one of
the inner pages, suffered an extraordinary
sort of chill. A man by the name of Harry
Lewis had been found in the park early that
morning; he had been shot; and was then
aware of, the close association, a rather
dreadful kinship with him, for his address
was the same as Rose Budley's. He had
been murdered, living at that address; had
been shot at after visiting Rose Budley.
1t was more than coincidence.
AND, of course, she wasn't only Rose
Budley Unless was greatly mistaken, she
was also Rose Malloy, and Rose, fifteen
years ago, had leaped into righteousness;
she had, indeed, been the subject Of an
intensive man hunt on the part of the
police. She was, in short, Posey Malloy,
wanted in connection with murder.
Probably everybody in New York knew
of the Felix Solly murder. 1t was one of the
sensational, unsolved murders of its day.
Had it occurred at any other period, it
would have been cause c9iebre, bruited
over the world, but that was war year.
More important headlines pushed the Solly
story off the front pages.
In brief, Felix SoIly, rich bachelor, mid
dle-aged man about town, had been muir
dered - shot, in his own luxurious home
some time toward morning Of hot August
night. His murderer was never found.
