"I didn't do it!" he screamed hysterically. "I didn't have Kas- per killed! I tell you I didn't—I didn't! And You think I'd hurt Madelaine! You're a devil. 1 didn't do it, I say! You have no right to accuse me." He reached down quickly and picked up a small, but heavy bronze statue of Antinous on the table beside him. Snitkin, standing just behind Fraim Falloway's chair, leaned over and deftly manacled the youth. "Really, Mr. Falloway," Vance admonished in a soothing voice, "you shouldn't handle heavy ob- jects when you're in that frame of mind. Frightfully sorry. But just sit still and relax. "As I was sayin', the disappear- ance of the stones from the collec- tion was an indication of the iden- tity of the murderer, for the sim- ple reason that the hirin' of thugs and the underground disposal of these gems quite obviously sug- gested that the same type of per- son was involved in both endeav- ors: to wit, both procedures im- plied a connection with undercover characters—fences and assassins. The two notes yesterday were highly enlightenin'. One of there was obviously concocted for ef- fect; the other was quite genuine. But boldness — usually a good technique—was, in this case, seen through." "Referrin' again to the various ransom notes, they were dictated by the plotter of Kaspar's murder —that is, all but the one received by 'Mr. Fleel yesterday —' and they were couched in such lan- guage that they could be shown to the authorities in order to side- track suspicion from the actual culprit and at the same time im- press Mr. Kenyon Kenting •with the urgent necessity of raising the fifty thousand dollars. I had two statements as to the amount of money which Kasper himself was demanding for his debts—one, an honest report of fifty thousand dollars; the other, no doubt a stupidly concocted tale of thirty I came here, in order to verify nib' expectation that you would urge Mr. Kenyon ICenting to re- quest that all police interference be eliminated. This you did, and when I learned of it, after arriving here with Mr. Markham, I definite- ly objected to the proposal and counteracted your influence on Mr. Kenting so that you .could not get the money safely that night. Seeing that part of your plan hopelessly failing, you cleverly changed your attitude and agreed Vance," he commented. "It shows remarkable ingenuity, but it en- tirely fails to take into consider- ation the 'fact that I myself was attacked by a'sub-machine gunner on the very night of Mrs. Kent- ing's disappearance. You have conveniently forgotten that little episode since it would knock the entire foundation from under'. your amusing little house of cards." "No. Oh, no, Mr: Fleel. Not conveniently forgot --conveniently remembered, Most vivid recollec- tion don't y' know, And you were jolly well frightened by the at- tack. Surely, you don't believe your escape from any casualty was the result of a miracle. All quite simple, really. The gentle- man with the machine-gun had .no intention whatever of perforating you.

"The second note received by Md. Fleel, was not, as I have .al - 'ready intimated, one of the series written at the instructions of the guilty man — it was a genuine document addressed to him, and the recipient felt that he not only could use it to 'have the •ransom "money paid over to him, but to disarm once more any suspicion that might be springing up in the minds of the authorities. It did not occur to him that the address, cryptically written in for his eyes alone, could be interpreted by an- other." He turned slowly to Fleel again and met the other's slunk with a cold smile. "When I suspected you, Mr. Fleel," he said, "I sent you from the District Attorney's office Thursday before Mr. Markham and Issue 46—'38 D age if everything Went according to your pre -arranged schedule. Mr. Van Dine and I• both saw the man. When he learned that, you had not been successful with your plans, he undoubtedly reported your failure,. thereby throwing fear into your hirelings that they might not be paid—which accounts for their keeping Mrs. Kenting alive as an effective threat to hold over you till payment was forthcoming." The Machine -Gunning Fleel's expression did not change. "A. very pretty theory, Mr. KOkIOL HAIR DYE 1410 Stanley Itl•ontreal, P.(L.

You were never safer in your life than when that ma- chine-gun was sputtering away in your general direction." The smirk slowly faded from Fleel's lips. "Your theory, Mr. Vance," he said angrily, "no longer has even the merit . of 'humor. And I wish you to know •that I greatly resent - your remarks." "I don't regard that fact as dis- cancertin' in the least," Vance re- turned with a cold smile. "The fact is, Mr. Fleel, you will be in- finitely more resentful when I in- . form you that at this very minute certified public accountants are at work on your books and that the police are scrutinizing most care- fully the contents of your safe." For two. seconds Fleel looked at him with a serious frown. Then he took a swift backward step and, thrusting his hand into his pocket, drew forth a large, ugly looking automatic. Both Heath and Snit - kin had been watching him stead- ily, and as Fleel made this move- ment, Heath, with lightning -like speed, produced an automatic from beneath the black sling of his wounded arm.

Suicide But there was no need for Heath to fire his gun, for in that fraction of a second Fleel raised his automatic to his own temple and pulled the trigger. The wea- pon fell from his hand immediate- ly, and his body slumped down against the edge of the desk and fell to the floor out of sight. Vance, apparently, was little moved by the tragedy. However, after a deep sigh, he rose listless- ly and stepped behind the desk. Vance bent down. "Dead, Markham — quite," he announced as he rose, a moment or so later. "Consid'rate chappie —what? Has saved you legal wor- ry no end. Most gratifyin'." Snitkin unlocked the handcuffs on young Falloway. "Sorry, Mr. Falloway," mur- mured Vance. "But you lost your self-control and became a bit an- noying .... Feelin' better?" The youth stammered: "I'm all right." He was alert and appar- ently his normal self now.
