Over and over, his words echoed
in her brain. She .praye.d for faith
in a man so rattan's. A 'roan who
could , run away.
Jim would be back. She was sure
of that: Just as sure as she was
that tomorrow morning would bring
another surprise. Dolan knew criiii-

he didn't know twes that ''there are

• From Across The Street
Still too nervously excited to think
of sleep, Cilly,' went into the living
room and sat down by the window.
The .night was cool, and the breeze
from the bay was delightfully re-
reshing. She looked agrees the street
t the St. Ann Apartments, into the
other living rooms where people gath-
ered for the evening.
A11 normal, conn oeplace people
each living his or her own private
life securrein a tiny 'cubicle.' Cliff
,dwellers„ crowded together under one
roof, yet each a stranger to the other.
That is the sway of New York re-
flected Cilly: •
Just as easily could .those . =cross
the street sit at their 'windows and
look at the tenants• of the Bayview.
They could, watch these people carry
on their normal routine of existence,
private and undisturbed. And they
could overlooktihe doings of each per-
son in the house—and one .of these
persons was a murderer. .
• "Suppose I were across the other'
side of the street," •filly, asked her-
self, 'What would I see in this house?
Would I see people playing bridge,
and listening td the • radii, or could
I see clearly where a cloudof sus-
picion bung over one apartment. Over
there, I coald 'see these people a

they actually ` are, and not as they
pretend to be while the police are
questioning them."
The -more she th?ugrht of ' it, the
stronger became the urge to get
across the street and regard the dif-
ferent families in the Bayview.
But how ?
The only windows .'Which frente11

In On A Party
But no: The sounds. emanating from
the Corbett apartment gave no indica
tion of • retirement. Cilly halted on
the stairway. Were :they having a par-
ty ? All the better, she decided. She
iwould have an excuse not to stop
in;she •could continue immediately
up to the roof.
' Even , as she decided this, the door
opened wide. A' man appeared on the
threshold.

"Come on in, busby. You're just
what we need to make this a real

At that momelit Mrs. Corbett an-

Miss Pierce!" she beamed. Come right

Graciously she took Cilly by the
arm. Mrs. Corbett was less inebri-

Was a •marked contrast to the timid,
nervous ' little 'woman Cilly met on
Monday morning.
"No,' perhaps I'd better not : stop
now," Cilly demurred: "It was nothing
important--" •
"Of .course you are coming in!"
Mr. Corbett had her 'other arm now;
it was useless to protest. . .

poor dear. 'This is the young lady i

"Shut'up!" Tom ordered. Evidently
he did not like the word "murder".
"Oh Memel": Mrs. Corbett called
across the living room, unconcerned
by her husband's rudeness. "Mama,
come here a • minute. Here is Miss
Pierce. Conte, • Mamas come Meet Miss
Pierce ." But there was no ,reply.
Tq Cilly, she explained: "Mama is
asleep, I guess., She's like that....

;Mr. Corbett entered, rcarrying a tall
bink for her.
"No, no thank you", Cilly begged.
