STORY, OF A MISSING ACTRESS :AND THE
.TAXING OF WITS TO EXPLAIN HER FATE.
BY NANCY BARR :MAVITY'
=0=100=0=01GS0t 00>G[0
"SYNOPSIS.
Don Elsworth's wife, formerly act-
ress' Sheila O'Sh'ay, disappears. Dr.
Cavanaugh, criminal psychologist,
identifies a charred body found, in
the tule marsh as that of Sheila:
Barbara his daughter, faints when she
hears him tell this to Peter. Piper,
a Herald reporter.
When Mrs. Kane, 'Sheila's maid, is
arrested she admits that' Ellsworth
married Sheila under . threat of
breach of promise. A, threatening
nate signed "David Orree"'is found,
Peter trails Osteo and arrests him.
Peter sees Barbara destroy a jewel-
led comb 'of Sheila's and when she
refuses to talk he realizes she is
proteeting someone. At Cruse's trait
Mrs. Kane states that Orme is
Sheila's real husband. Orme ad-
mits seeing Sheila on the night of
her death, Dr. Cavanaugh takes, the
stand,
CHAPTER XLVII.
"Now dotter," the district attor-
ney began with 'heavy reasonable-
ness, "if the defendant's actions are
fully explained by all this fugue
and retroactive amnesia !business,
how do .you.account for his failure to
snake any mention . of these occur-
rences on the witness stand?" ,
"I object!" Graham exploded.
"A moment ago, my learned friend
across the table was very meticulous
about statements coiling for the con-
clusion of the witness,
"If your honor, please. I should
like to answer the question."
"I withdraw the objection," Gra-
ham subsided meekly.
"Tire most significant factor in
Cane's life of recent yeasts," Dr. Ca -
mangle turned from the 'district at-
torney and addressed the ,jury conver-
sationally, "has. been the loss of two
of his fingers. From a squalid child-
hood he bad been lifted by his talent
into a world of music ---a world where
he met some of the greatest names
of Europe nn a plane 'of congeniality
and equality.
"At one stroke lie was hurled out
of that environment, hurled back into
a poverty and a. limitation far worse
than that in which he started be-
cause it was now complicated by
thwarted ambition. The result, in a
man of his temperament, was a sense
of inforiority—nn inferiority actual
and yet endeservedwhich condition-
ed his entire life.
"It was for that reason that Mrs.
Orn e's sitenticism regarding hie
musical ability moved him even more
Powerfully than the cooling of her
love and her attentions to 'other
melt.
"He transferred to the loss of hie
smeltery the same intense feeling of
inferiority whioh"''llad goaded frim ev-
er since the lose of his fingers. It
was a further 'lopping off,' you .tee
—another blow of fate stamping him
as incrtnplete, es unable to hold his
owes with normal teen.
"Yon must remember that we are
hers dealing all alone with exagger-
ated reactions. In the short time at
my disposal far' treatment, I was un-
able to eradicate from David Orme's
iniad the idea that his 'flight from
reality' in the form of a fugue war
an act of porsonal and moral coward.d
ice.
"It was not that, of course—it was 'lie
absolutely beyond his control. But •
remember. tiro 'tortured pride with
which he endured the humiliation of lv
rubbing sandpaper in a jazz orches- cc
tla ivhen..he had expected to take his ry
place among the world's egeat viol- 0f
inists. Ho had dragged himself baler
from the temptation of suicide be,: an
cause he thought it cowardly to run R"
away from life.. Kr
"And yet.' enduring that depth of
bitterness, he found that after all he Cel
had run away. Rather than admit pr,

=Action. Life, you see, was
ready a prison to him,- and a
tenet of death would offer hint
arable escape,. his final release."
For a moment, silence hung over
the court room. Every mind was
contemplating the vision of a tor-
mented soul caned up by the dootor's
quiet and yet compelling, earnest ut-
terance. The district attorney was
the first to shake 'himself free of the
spell.
He shuffled his notes, coughed
changed his position.
"May 'I ask, doctor," he said, con-
cealing his uneasiness under an air
of ponderous assurance, "whether it'
is your custom to take your patients
off the'etreett and give them a course
of treatment at their mere request,
with nn assurance of their ability to
pay for your services?"
"Your honor!" Graham sprang to
his feet, finding relief in action. "Dr
I understand that the district attor-
ney .is attempting to impeaeh this
witness?"
'*What Mr. Graham understands is
beyond my power to fathom, as I
make no pretense of being a mind
reader—or a psychiatrist" The dis-
trict attorney turned with vicious
joy to e. 'antagonist whose weapons

ertly at the jury. They were oh.
viously unpiessecl. I -Ie wished he
had left'that, particular line of ques-
tioning unopened.
Graham was Meaning back 'takin'g
things as they came. He could .set
Dr. Cavanaugh up there' and turn bion
loose? The ,district attorney inquir;

passed his handkerchief acnoss the
back of hie' neck, .where the roll of
fat stood out in a thick ridge. Then
he leaned forward,' moving to.: a new
tine of attack,
"'Granting that all you say is true,
doetor—and I am without the advan-
tage of the technical learning necese
sary to argue the point with you—"
(the' district attorney hoped that
that'wouldhave its effect on the jury, a,
that they would see themselves and
hist together as allies, as plain men
pitting their robust common sense
,against the hair -splittings of the aea-
demic expert "there still 'remains
no reason why Orme should not have
had another .impulse to kuook Sheila
O'Shay down. And why, having kil-
led her with the blow, he should not
have concealed and destroyed her
body, as he thought—and then have
eonvenientiv'suffered another loss of
memory. Or let us say that the e-
motional crisis put him into that
state of fugue again."

"The question is allowed."
Dr. Cavanaugh looked down at the
district . attorney with an invulner-
able placidity, from which iris in-
truded thrust glanced harmlessly a-
side.
"Of late yeari it has been my ans.
tom to take only such patients as in-
terested me—and to take them wher-
ever I found them, Fortunately I

stated on direct examination, and ani

part to special research. For some
years I have been wo"king on the
problem of the relation of fugue
states to genuine dissociation °filer,
venality. From that point of view I
found Mr. Orme interesting.
"011, so you were very much inter-
ested in Mr. Ornse's case "
"Very much, yes."
"Well. doctor." the district attor-
ney's bludgeoning nice went on.
'isn't it a fact the scientific mind,
ilce the musical mind. is subject to
temperament'? In the enthusiasm

hat facts are intet'orete1 to nee'
the hypothesis which the ievestiga-
or is trying to prove?"
"That is sometimes true of some
nvesiieators, yea,"
"Well, then," the district attorney
anted a little in his approach to hie

you took in his case. fnnnn making nr

"Tho main thing that prevented

strict attorney had evidently reach
el his goal, only to find that nothing
