Chapter XXIX ".I'm all right" McCale said, "hut I'm still wet and very, very tired." "Then you get into dry clothes right away. Rocky, you prix him a highball while I make coffee. While you're getting the liquid in- side of you, I want to hear about everything. If you think I'm going to tuck you in and go home be- fore I get tin whole story, you are sadly mistaken, If you will go out chasing a murderer all night with a hole in your side, you'll have to take the consequences. I'm going to ask questions if I stay here the rest of the n'ght." The three of them sat a long time over brandy and hot coffee discussing the case. After a leng- thy resume, they grew silent, Mc - Cale finally spoke. "The maddening thing about it all was the motive, you see. Every- one who came under suspicion af- ter Veronica was more or less. cleared had a motive. But not dif- ferent motives—they all had the same one. * * * "What do you mean?" Ann ask- ed. "Well, they were alt In the plot to get Curt married to Veronica and in charge of the Bigelow mil- lions, Then when it was discovered that he didn't intend to give them a share after all, they all had the same iuccntive—to keep him from getting control of it, When it was clear that they all wanted him out of the way for the sante reason, it became more a matter of seeking out the person with the character.. istics most suitable to committing murder." Bright lad," Rocky grinned. It's a wonder you fumbled as long as you did." McCale scowled. "Olt, I know the old one about everyone being a potential murderer. I had to nose a little closer to the ground than just accusing one right after the other. Some of thein had to have a stronger motive than just money.

READ THIS THRILLING STORY BEGINNING NEXT WEEK W.N.U. FEATURE* "Call it jealousy combined with passion. Karen was the 'femme fatale,' of course. I think she knew from the first that Stephen did it. She didn't give him away, though, not until tonight. She'd even thought of helping him to run away again, That's why she drew the $500. But tonight when I asked her if she knew why Sybil hadn't been killed instead of stunned, she didn't answer. However, as 1 went out the dobr, she began to play the Lullaby from Joselyn. It was her way of telling me about the mo- -titer fixation Stephen had. He could not bring himself to kill her, even though he realized she had gone to the attic to see if his sailor suit was still there—and the gun." "Oh, that's what she was' look- ing for." * * * "Of course. Funny. All the way along the line, everything pointed to the sailor angle. It wasn't until I found the black silk square in the attic that I realized what I had missed. It was a kerchief, you know, the kind sailors wear knot- ted about their necks. When I re- alized what it was, the whole puz- zle fell into focus, There was a sailor lounging near the gate across from the house on the af- ternoon of the murder. Then Miss Bigelow had told me that Stephen had once run away and joined the navy. IIe even mentioned the fact himself. Then there was the pic- ture missing from Shari Lynn's wall. The only sailor in all those uniforms, Stephen's photograph, of course. The picture was taken years and years ago—not a very good one—but if I had given it more than a cursory glance the night I saw it at Shari Lynn's, L think I would have recognized hint." "Lord. The whole business was out in the open all the time," This from Rocky. "Uh uh, That's where he was clever. It was almost too out in the open. Stephen told no lies. He admitted being jealous of Karen. Everything he did was logical, you know, except attacking his mo- ther. IIe shouldn't have done that, because he couldn't follow through on it. IIe didn't have the heart to kill ler. It showed that the ]tiller had a fondness for Sybil that kept Itim from destroying her. That de- finitely put the finger on Stephen." * * * Rocky said, surpris:ngly, "He was lucky about the false clues, too, boss, He didn't try to leave any himself—false ones—to point another way, like most murderers do. There was the red wig and everybody being in the same lo- cality at just the right time to come under suspicion. Those things just happened, All the con- fusion it caused was lucky for hits —for a while, anyway," "That's certainly right. I -Ie al- most got away with bumping me off, too." "He'd never been caught if he'd kilted you," said Ann. "Oh, I don't know. Donlevy's smart and he would have plugged away until he got the right line, no doubt." "Maybe." She sounded skeptical: "Good heavens, It's five o'clock. Rocky tilted his bulk from his chair, saying, "I'll ntosy along, too, Come on, Ann, I'll drop you." Duke," she ordered. "I hope you're You get right into bed now, going to he all right. You aren't running a fever are you?" She put her hands on his fore- head and, bending over suddenly, gave him a long kiss. "I'm fine," answered McCale happily, "but if you want my tem- perature to go tip, you're certain - 1y doing the right thing."

Arnott Crude, peaty, excessive curls in handwriting is an expression of vulgarity. From the writing, you can picture such writers to be flashy and showy to the extreme. Their clothes may be of loud splashy material with an assort- ment of contrasting colours, cheap jewelry, ant; a display of unnec- essary trinkets. These indicate lack of good taste and refinement. An example of thiswriting is il- lustrated below, Such writers make ungraceful, heavy whirls and loops in all their letters. In many cases, hooks begin and end the words, showing the person to be abnormally materialistic with a love of self-indulgence in eating and drinking. They go beyond the average person in their living habits and become excessive in everything they do. Harmony and spirituality is not part of their character as they tlo not Believe in retitlement, good temper, or good judgment. Writing which appears to stand straight up, as in the first exam- ple, shows the nature to be more reserved than the nature in the second exampie, which indicates the person tobe openly vulgar in speech as tell as manner. 4111 ozOVU21 %2' -" Wdials c9 2 as1' Lo ps 150Is Anyone wishing a more complete analysis please said self-addressed stamped ravelope to L'as 11, room 421, 73 Adelaide SI.

Purity of heart, therefore, be- came the supreme and necessary condition of a good and whole- some life, as much as pure blood is the condition of a healthy body. * * * What does it clean to be pure in heart? The , common tenden- cy is to think of"purity" chief- ly, if not altogether, in terms of sex; but purity of heart means a great deal more than avoidance of what Saint Peter (I Peter 2:11) has called the "fleshy lusts that war against the soul." Purity, too, must be considered onits positive side. It is not enough to resist the temptations of evil; it :s necessary to be moved by the impulses of good, and the power of love.
