The footsteps had approached very near the door when Craig knocked and f alrnost at once the handle turned and { a young woman stood before them. JWith her small, oval, colorless face , and pale hair clipped short she seem - 1 ed almost a girl at first glance, but closer inspection revealed faint but mature lines and a certain poise in spite of her obvious agitation that in- dicated a woman .nearer 30 than 20. "We're from polis: headquarters, ma'am." Craig cleared his throat. "Cone in." - Her voice was quiet and controlled, but Barry observed that a muscle in her thin cheek twitch- ed slightly. She threw the door wide, revealing a living room barely furn- ished almost to desolation, with cheap matting rugs upon the uneven, paint- ed floor and the ugly, straight lines of a few dull, fumed -oak mission tables and chairs scattered about. "You are Miss Shaw?" asked Craig, seating himself gingerly upon the edge of a chair. "Patricia Shaw, although I' occa- sionally sign niy articles 'Patsy."' The young woman' nodded. .a 'I write for the magazines, you know.

' • "You stated that you did not hear ' a shot fired from,below," said Craig. "Are you quite sure, Miss Shaw?" "I ant sure that I heard nothing that sounded at the time like a—a shot." Her voice trembled a little "At least, it did not occur to me that a shot had been fired. There were several sharp, crashing peals of thun- der before the storm passed.

That is all that can tell you, gentlemen." With a swift glance at Craig, Barry rose but made no move toward the door. "When was the last time you saw Mrs. Vane alive, Miss Shaw?" "One afternoon last week; Thuts- i day, I think. She was entering her studio as I came down the stairs and she did not see me." "Are you acquainted wit% any of the other tenants in the house?" Barry's abrupt change of topic evi- dently astonished her, but she drew herself •up and responded coldly: "I ani not" "Was Mrs. Vane?" The question came with almost startling sudden- ness. "I do not know. I have no reason to think so, and as I have told you, I anti not a busybody." "Very well. I don't think we'll trouble the 1ady.any Further tonight, shall we, Sergeant. Craig?" Barry turned formally toward his confrere who shook his head. dumbly. Miss Shaw opened her lips to speak, hesitated as though she had thought better of it, and preceded them with dignity to the door. "Goodnight, gentlemen" There was just, tile slightest shade of pause before the last word, which lent it irony, and the door closed with emphasis behind them. -"That was one of the things I want- ed to find out!" he responded. "The professor's light is out and we'll let. him rest, but I'll just slip this 'note under.his d•Ror.

Sergeant Craig stared at his fellow detective, scribbled a ,few werds on a page of his note book, tore it out and folding it, thrust it under the darken- ed door.
