CHAPTER II By the time Phelps, the finger print man, had finished hi8 in vestigations without any particu larly encouraging results, and Captain Blake then sent Jardhj for the first one to be questioned, "Better get Murdock's man first, sergeant." Hannigan came in as Jardin left. "Get them, Hannigan? Better take a picture of the bullet hole in the drape and then youH want to get this room with X marking where the body was found. That'll make a nice, intriguing layout. When you get to the office tell Bailey I'll be in with the story as soon as all the witnesses are questioned." Hannigan had his two shots before Jardin returned with Mur dock's man. Duncan was six feet tall and massively built. He act ed as chauffeur, valet and body guard to the late Jerry Murdock. There was a surly expression on Duncan's features, and at the first EXECUTOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as Executor of the estate of John E.

CREOMULSION for Coughs, Chest Colds, Bronchitis question it was evident he was not going to prove the source of much information. "Did you hear the report of a gun last night?"' "I didn't hear anything." "Where were you at two o'clock?" "I was upstairs on the third floor after twelve. I didn't hear anything." "Any idea who might have killed Murdock?" "No, I don't know anybody," There were a few more ques tions, but they dieted no informa tion. The next to be questioned was Eric, the Stiles head servant. From that point on things began to happen. He was eager to speak without even being questioned. "I've been anxious, sir, to ex plain certain things which may have gome bearing on the case. It was after one-thirty, while I was making the last rounds, seeing to the light and the doors, sir, when on coming from the kitchen that's at the rear of the lower hall way I saw Mr. Murdock's man going out the front door. He was just closing it and did not see me. I thought possibly he was going out for Mr. Murdock and did not, therefore, attach the chain to the door. And, by the way, sir, I was "Did you recognize the lady?" Blake asked sharply. "Miss Amberson," he finally said in a low voice. "That will be all for the present. Don't mention to anyone what you have told." The servant walked noiselessly to the door and passed into the hallway. The three in the room sat for many minutes without a word. '" "That ruins everything," finally uttered Jardin in disgust. "It looked a cinch that the murderer climbed up to the balcony, shot Murdock and then walked out of the front door." "That would have been too easy, sarge. Of course, Miss Amber son's presence complicates that, but what about the chain on the door? The servant said it was fastened the first down this morning and found that the chain was fastened. "There was one other thing hap pened last night one of those things a servant sees, but never speaks of. Under the circum stances, however, I believe I am at liberty to.; tell.

I was thinkin that it would have been .easier for the killer to have come in the front door, shot Murdock and then gone away over the balcony." "This isn't a guessing contest, men," Captain Blake said sharply. "Well find the motive first." "I'm thinkin' that there'll be so many motives it'll be puzzlin' so it may help to do a little figuring before it's tangled up." "Ill just take my chance on the motive. Jardin, ask Miss Amber son to come in." Robin Dale walked to the win dow and stood there deep in thought as Diana Amberson enter ed. He did not turn until Blake had shot his first startling ques tion at her. Then Dale saw a very beautiful woman scarcely over twenty-one. Her most strik ing feature was a mass of blonde hair, which fell in long, rippling waves being caught up on one aide behind a pink, shell-like ear. Her cheeks were'slightly pale, without cosmetics, but her small, full lips were deep red even without rouge. Her eyes were soft and blue, but showed indications of ; a restless night. She shuddered as' she glanced at the covered object on the lounge. "Why did you go into Jerry Murdock's room last night?" The unexpected question sent a perceptible quiver through her. A crimson flush invaded her features. Blake repeated his question when she remained mute, demanding an answer. "It's true I went to Jerry's room,'' she said finally, "but but I cannot tell you the reason." "Miss Amberson, do you know what it means? Fifteen minutes after you entered Murdock's room he died. You owe it to yourself to make some explanation." "There is no explanation I want to make," Jardin waited for the word to make the arrest when the telephone bell sounded. Jardin answered and motioned to Captain Blake. ; "Blake talking yes, doctor, go ahead" For quite a while Cap tain Blake listened in silence, and then with a brief "goodby" hung "P. "I'll give you a little time, Miss Amberson to think over your de cision to remain silent. Of course, you're not to leave the house." When she had gone Blake turned to the two men.

S. and Letters To The Editor THANKS TEACHERS Editor The Mountaineer: A short time ago I received a very inspiring letter from one of my early elementary school teach ers. I found great pleasure in an swering that letter and the more I thought about it, the greater be came my urge to write to all those who have contributed to the prep arations which have qualified me for the work that I am now do ing. Such an undertaking would be impracticable, as you will read ily see, but the appearance of this in The Mountaineer would solve my problem completely: To My Dear Teachers: Since becoming an Aviation Cadet in the Army Air Forces, those little obstacles that I stumb led over through my school days found that the water in the caraffe in Quincy's room was doped and so was the one in Forrest's room, but a peculiar thing there was half a glass of water on Forrest's table which was absolutely pure." (To Be Continued) back home have again presented themselves. Not just a few at a time, as then, but they seem to want to crowd each other now. But for your patience and, some times, even disciplinary measures, I would be in a hopeless position, however, I am happy to inform vou that most all of it has come back to me. Yes, of course, we are required to go much further insome of our subjects, such as mathematics, physics, etc., and it takes a lot of studying, but I recognize the basis of it all as just what I learned through your instructions. This phrase has been said and written many times before, but I repeat I wish I had studied with more zeal and determination back in school. I am primarily concerned with air navigation which presents some very tough and complicated prob lems, but the purpose for all my studying now is unmistakable. With this in mind I hope to master whatever is expected of me here in order to qualify for the MAJOR TEST which will come sometime next year. I take this opportunity to ex press sincere gratitude to you for every effort you made toward teaching me those things that lit tle did I realize would become so The Mountaineer Stationery Department Has Boston -Pencil Sharpeners For standard size pencils olive green enameled base, and nickel plated chip recptacle, which can be re moved and emptied easily.
