Johnson, state OPA director, an nounced today that restraining or ders had been signed before U. S. Judge I. M. Meekins in Elizabeth City against two Raleigh firms and one Fayetteville store charged by OPA with violating maximum pric>;. regulations. Read this first: Everyone thought Agatha Brown was an old maid, but she had been secretly married for 25 years to Prof. Otto Haider of Western college. She had left him in World War I because she learned he was a traitor. The girl she called her niece, Clemantine, really was their daughter. Not even Celmantine knew it. Everyone who had known it was dead. Now, in World War II, Agatha discovers the professor again is going to sell one of his inventions to the enemy. Deep in her heart she still loves him. but she had considered killing him as the best way out of their dilemma. Estelle Blossom, a student who claims she was engaged to marry the professor, accuses Clemantine of the crime. (Nov/ go on with the story). CHAPTER TWELVE “I didn’t bring you here to trap you by matching your hairpin with the one I found on the floor, Miss Brown,’ said the lieutenant. “Miss Blossom may be convinced you are guilty but I am not. How ever, she told me you spent con siderable time with the professor. I wanted to ask you if he ever mentioned an enemy, or made a guess on the identity of the per son who has been trying to break into his laboratory. Anything you can tell me now may be very important to us, because Profes sor Haider was stabbed not more than two hours ago. The mur derer cannot be far away.' “Humph!” snorted Agatha. “Don't lie. Its her you suspect! Clemantine, dont tell him a thing until you get a lawyer!” “I have nothing to tell,” Clem antine protested. The detective’s face flushed. He handed the two hairpins to one of his assistants standing just out side the door. “Here. O'Brien, put these in separate envelopes. Mark this second one the property of Miss Clemantine Brown.” His jaw was harder than ever when he turned back to the wom en. “I can’t force you lo answer my questions. You have the right to refuse. But time is valuable, and 1 need help. Please, Miss Brown, cio \ou think the professor had ; ny enemies?” "I—I don’t know. He was work ing on some invention for the gov ernment. There were guards around his laboratory. I suppose he was afraid of spies.” “What was the nature of his invention?” “Hs never said.” “Well, we’ll soon know. I've sent for the college president. He’ll be able to tell us. Agatha sniffed. “He’s just a stuffed shirt.” The detective frowned. “At least maybe he’ll talk, which is more than you women seem willing to do.” “Why not question Miss Blos som?” Agatha suggsted. “She seems to be strangely familiar with the professor’s doings. For example, how did she happen to learn about the stabbing—at this hour of the night?” “I’ve already told all I know,” said Estelle, icily. Larkey nodded. “Miss Blossom tried to telephone Professor Hai der . . he looked at his watch 1. . . “about an hour and a half j ago. When he didn’t answer, she ; started looking for the janitor, and then sent him here to see if any thing was wrong.” _ “Oh—the janitor found him?” “No. The janitor discovered the door was locked on the inside. He heard the professor groaning. He tried to break in, and couldn’t, so he called us. He was badly fright ened. We had to saw through the bolt of the door in order to get | in.” Clemantine stared at him, wide ■ eyed. “You—you mean the pro fessor was stabbed to death in a locked room?” “He was stabbed here all right, but not to death. We didn’t even think it was a bad wound, but he died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.” “But how did the man with the knife get into the room if every thing war locked?” Lieutenant Larkey threw up his hands. He turned to the plain clothesman who had escorted Cle mantine and Agatha. “Cassidy, you keep the ladies pacified. I don’t stand up well under cross examination. And I want to give this room the once over again, in private.” Cassidy grinned as his chief stepped back inside the room and shut the door. His grin vanished quickly, however, and he was dead ly serious as he faced Agatha, Cle mantine and Miss Blossom. “I was the first one who got here when the janitor eailed. I found, when I sawed my way in, ! that every bolt in that room was : thrown and locked on the inside, even the windqws and the tran I som. That shewed that Professor Haider knew someone was after him.” “You—you’re sure,” inquired Agatha, “that the murderer could n't have thrown one of the bolts ! shut after he left the room?” “Not unless he was a magician.” “Nonsense!’ declared Estelle. “You make it sound as though the I professor was alone in that room. You know he wasn’t. You found a hairpin. Miss Brown was in there. ; before the room was locked, wait j ing for him!” Agatha cried, “You take that ; back, or—” Clemantine grabbed her arm. “Miss Blossom doesn’t really mean it. She’s upset. She doesn’t know what she s saying.’ “Oh, I don’t?” “Upset, my eye!” snapped Aga tha, who was glad of any sort of an argument to make her forget \ the shaking of her knees. “She hasn't shed a tear.” Cassidy and his partner, O'Brien moved in together and shoved the women apart. “Ladies! Take it easy!” Cassidy pleaded. “Sure, ’twas a mistake to bring you here,” observed OBrien. “Keep your voices down or you’ll be after wakin’ the whole place!’ “Maybe you already have,’ Cas sidy w.iispered. “Someone’s corn in’ up the stairs.” Up around the corner and into the hall panted a heavily-built man. Seemingly he had been sum moned from bed and had hastily put on coat and pants that didnt match. The open neck of his shirt was without a necktie. His face was lined with deep worry, and his goatee trembled with his breathlessness. It was the first time Agatha had DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Migratory workman 5. Lizards 9. Small drum 10.

Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc. 0 seen President Hill of the college shocked out of his correct formal ity. He looked almost human. “Horrible! Horrible! I can’t be lieve it. Why, only a few hours ago—” His voice, weak from lack of windpower, was drowned by the noise of another railroad train that coupled w:th a series of crashes on the nearby tracks. O’Brien grimaced. “What a place for a dormitory!” Ordinarily President Hill would have made sharp reply. The trains were a sore spot in his life, and he liked to point out that the city would do nothing about them, but tonight he did not even notice the remark. “Yeh!” put in Cassidy. ‘“Only a few hours ago’ . . . what?” “We had dinner together. He told mo he had conquered the last difficulty that had been holding up his invention. He was so confident —elated Tomorrow he was go ing to deliver it.’ “And where is the invention? Shure it wasn’t in the room,” said O’Brien. “Probably in his laboratory.’ Cassidy shook h i s head. “We talked with the federal guards there. They say the last piece of his machine, whatever it was, is missing.’ “Oh-h-h!” Estelle put a hand to her face. There was no doubt of her emotion this time. Clementine gasped, “How aw ful!” Dr. Hill went white. “The in vention already may be in the hands of America’s enemies!” (To Be Continued) -V Auto License Tab Price Reduction Is Effective North Carolina automobile li cense tabs will go on sale Thursday at one-qua”ter off the annual fee, Miss Minnie A. Payne, manager of Wilmington branch of Carolina Motor club, announced Wednesday. “All applicants from the state of Virginia should bring Virginia titles, and take from the vehicle the serial number, because it is not shown on any Virginia documents,’’ Miss Payne said. “This informa tion is required in North Carolina.’’ During the first quarter sales of license tabs have been more than doubled over the period when 1942 plates were issued, she said. •KT 39 GRADUATE DURHAM, March 31.— W—Thir ty-nine seniors of the Duke univer sity college of engineering will be graduated at a special tommffice ment program on Sunday and Monday, April 11 and 12.
