CHAPTER 117 \Ulnen Hazel Leighton walked, into the study, it was quite appar- ent she had completely recovered from the shock of finding Sayler's body. Aloof and self -composed, she stood poised in the doorway for a moment, as if waiting for Lieuten- ant O'Leary to acknowledge her presence. The police officer was still seat- ed at Sayler's desk, engrossed in several documents he had spread before him. Lights in the room were coming from a. series of lamps along the walls and from the desk lamp. O'Leary finally Looked up. wed there was the trace of a smile ou bis face. "Miss Leighton?" Hazel nodded. "I'm Lieutenant O'Leary.' Come over here and sit clown, please." The lieutenant didn't get up. R was not so much his lack of train- ing in.the common courtesies as it was his adherence to the old school eS technique in criminal investi- gations — never give the suspect an even break ... . keep yourself at ease; let the suspect grape and falter.

P211 COPYRIGHT, 1940: NEA SERVICE. INC. • Calmly Hazel walked. toward the lieutenant. It was only when she reached the dark, jagged stain in the middle of the room that she hesitated a moment and ca;re'fully stepped around it. O'Leary motion- ed her into a chair that had been placer] to the side of the desk, at las right. A Check For $5,000 . "Miss Leighton, 1 understand it was you who first came upon the body," he said. She lighted a cigaret.. "Yes. It was pretty Much of a . shock." "Did you enter this room at all?" "Not until the others came. I' just screamed ... I couldn't help it. And then 1 felt weak, so I hung onto the door and stared at the body until Dale and the rest came from the drawing room." "You didn't touch anything?" "Not a thing." • O'Leary pushed an ash -tray within Hazel's reach. "Did any- one e15e touch. anything—the body, for instance?" "No. Mr. Mardell wanted to turn it over, but Dale told him not to ... said to wait until you carie." The lieutenant fingered the check he had taken from the, desk draw- er. "Miss Leighton, did you know that you were to get a. $5000 check from Ma. Sayler tonight?" Personal Business For a moment, Hazel's eyes fal- tered, and she ptamped out her cigaret with quick, nervous move- ment of her long, slender fingers. "Why, yes," s:he said slowly. "Mr. Sayler was a lawyer, you know, and the check was part ,of a business natter. he :was handling foe me." "What kind of business?" "I don't think that matters. It was personal ... nothing at all to do with—+with what happened hese tonight " O'Leary held out a single sheet of. paper, •clilrpetl to a tan legal jacket. "Did it have ale t:Meg to do with this?" "Why, I don't know. I can't—" "Maybe I ought to tell you what this is," O'Leary interrupted. "It's release from possible future breach of promise action against Martin Sao'1er. There's a space clown here for you to sign. You won't need to nowt. " Hazel sat forward in her their and rested her elbows on the desk. '"I can't understand it. I .haven't the faiutest notion • what you mean." O'Leary looked straight at the blond woman and gestured mildly with. a cigar he toole from his vest pocket. "0'h, yes, you have, Miss Leighton. I'll tell you what it means. Sayler was going to' give you $5000 so you wouldn't sue him. And he was. going to make sure that you eouldn.`t sue. Maybe you'd better tell me the rest." Hazel sat very rigidly, her blond hair glimmering in the glow off the desk lamp. Ltftle spots of angry red rose in her cheeks. "All right, Lieutenant, she said. "I'll tell you. Maybe that's better. Then you won't fbe getting a lot of ideas about something that isn't so." One of the- Lowest O'Leary struck a match and head it to his cigar, "Right, It. would be a lot better all around it you told me everything." "Sayler was one of the lowest -persons I ever met," Hazel said. "Funny about that . . . 1 thought I loved bin. He's «got a kind of veneer that doesn't show es) so badly under the right kind of light. We went together for almost a year, He wanted me to marry him, but I wasn't sure. "And then, last week, he made me an offer ... this offer. I was never so insulted in my life. I had known his attitude toward me was changing. But I didn't know what a rater he wee until he told me the wedding was ol1 'and offered nee $500() to be a good girl, I slap- ped his face." O'Le i'y leaned back in his chair, "Why were you here tonight, then, Miss Leighton Tlazel avoided the officer's eyes. "I don't kit ow.

'''Look, Chief," said the Sergeant. "The boys have been doing a little checking. and the medical examiia- PI: telephoned. I thought naaybe you. 14 °anted to know—" "Go ahead; 1Sergeant,"P O'Leary said. Carrell looked unsubtly at Ea•- gel Leighton. "I figumed maybe-•-" .It's an right Iviiss Leigb_toll won't mind." Carroll shrugged. "Okay. Well, first of all, we checked the P4one company like you said, They'd know if any long listarce calla were made here tonight. There wasn't any." O'Leary nodded, "Which menus Sayler never reached his desk. He was killed right after he :left the otters in the drawing roosli:—on his way back to the desk." Carroll squinted. "Right. And here's what the medical examiner has to say. He made a quick check and he said the bullet hit Sayler tlz•om the right, at an angle, end struck his heart. It knocked him oft like a building collapsed on him." "Which means that the shot Teach Child To Finish His Job Youngsters Should Learn to Stick With A Task Once Be- gun There is one point about child- ren's work that needs attention.

Not Through The Window "Right . . . Only 'it Wasn't—not through the window, anyway." O'Leary's eyes 'became quizzical, but he waited for Carroll to con- tinue.

'That'd leave a mark, There isn't any. May- be the fingerprints we took on the inside will show something." O'Leary grunted, "They won't show Anything.
