the mans hart i to his face it was a surprising voice to come from a ragged fugitive hi-1- ing under an alias with murder in the background it was low vibrant modulated giving to the simplest words i hint of music peter knew with instant absolute assurance that a man with a voice like that might commit murder but he would never stab an unarmed man with a dirty knife he slid into a seat on the bench beside orme and leaned his- elbow on the table j it would be he smiled company jonably its a funny thing about people who change their names al- ways keeping the same initials in fact the tendency is so familiar that j i should think by this time everyone would take pains to avoid it by the way why didnt you clear out j i didnt have the money the man said simply i peter groaneo there surged ove him an irrational impulse to protect this man from the trap which he him self had laid and into which the vc- tim had stepped with such blind un hesitating promptness it was toh asy you ought to have a guardian he exclaimed almost angrily and then almost gently its a good thing i found you suppose this babe had been pouncj cl upon by men from the homicide squad with their sweating mclhj ods and strongarm tactics v would be like seeing a rabbit torn piecemeal by dogs peter quite forgot that the man beside him was sought as a dangerous character a slayer but you havent told me yet why you wanted to find me there wasj not a trace of fear in the low voice nor any combativeness peter leaned forward and peered at the face before him with his bright nearsighted gray eyes before answer ing it was a worn and sensitive face young and yet ravaged a face with delicate clearly modelled features and dark sunken eyes the perfectly shaped head had the smiting beauty of a profile on a greek coin and this was the man whom ethel had dismissed as a sickly looking fel low if sickness was there it was a sickness of the soul the curved lips drooping slightly at the corners the dark steady eyes with their depths of pain did not suggest weakness so much as the helplessness of one who is an alien in the world where he must live there was a permanent bewild erment in those eyes the eyes of a baffled poet thrust into a world of ugly prose in which he could never bo at home bruised and broken and still wondering a man like that wounded beyond endurance might strike to kill and st 1 not understand what it was all about surely you know peter said at last speaking patiently as if to a child that you are under suspicion of the murder of mrs ellsworth the curved lips tightened into a hard straight line the face befee him became as still as expressionless as if it were chiselled in stone i dont know any mrs ellsworth the voice took on a remote metallic ring as if each word were the drop ping of a coin peter stared a moment then he remembered soncthing something that had puzzled him but you knew sheila oshay he asked breathlessly yes oh yes sheila oshay the words were hardly more than an aud ible sigh a great many people knew sheila oshay his hands were suddenly flung out ward on the table in a singularly de fenseless gesture the knife un noticed slid across the boardsnnd f 11 noiselessly to the ground the fa woman and her tumultuous offspring had wandered away out of sight yes peter said sternly but you j wrote heila oshay a threatening letter 1 dont know why you didnt i take ny pains to disguise it but you didnt then you hung around out side the house lying in wait for her- sheila oshay was found murdered and you arc out here hiding under an assumed name youre absolutely no good as a fugitive ill admit i could have done a lot better myself but thats no sign you didnt do it you trembled all over when i spoke to you oh hut that was before i knew you ormes face broke into n ra diant confiding smile of sheer delight youre so very likeable you know by the way i dont think youre a po liceman arc you no im not poter said harshly but im just as bad im

tion of the seriojsness of the situa tion it was like seeing a child watch the house burn down and clap his hands at the pretty fire weil that cant be helped i sup pose orme acquiesced youd have done better to face the music in the first place if you couldnt get away any better than this peter said crossly youve made an awful mess of things yes the young man nodded his head gravely i know i do that often im always making a mess of things but hardly with your life in the balance does it matter not a great deal i think ormes tone was not in the least bitter he might have been commenting on the prospect of rain im afraid youll wake up too late and find that it does peter raged well dont let it bother you it5 ray er potential funeral after all again that winning sunny smile like a child watching the mounting flames against his will peter found himseif smiling back i wont say that whatever you say will be used against you because youll be just putty in the hands of the police anyway but would you i nd telling mo did you really kill her maybe so the young man raid but that will be for the police o find out and this through all the long drive back to town was the last word that p had from him chapter xxxii did you put up any money on me peter threw his hat into the nearest armchair and leaned forward to ex amine the top of the desk but the fa miliar nickel was not in evidence no said dr cavanaugh the sporting clement would be lacking unless i elaborated a system of odds id hate to have you on my trail young man or perhaps this is what you call being on my trail already the doctors clear brown eyes smil ed with warm friendliness into peters as he pulled forward a chair oh no ive just got into the hahit of consulting you i hope im nut making a nuisance of myself ive no doubt you hope it but even if you were a nuisance you would regretfully persist i luppose i would peter admit ted well then if its any comfort to you im really not particularly busy at the moment and you may help yourself to the cigars its rather lucky for me that ive retired from active practice you might not leave mo much opportunity to collect from my patients im glad im not bothering too awfully peter said cheerfully ignor ing the box of cigars which dr ca vanaugh oxtended and pulling forth his inevitable crushed package of cig arettes because you sec i do feel sort of responsible for this babe in the woods i turned over to the police dr cavanaugh smiled ever so slightly do the police look on him as a babe in the woods he inquired they do not peter said emphatic ally as a matter of fact im sur prised at him myself- honestly i felt as if i were throwing him to the wolves it had to bo done of course but 1 didnt think theyd need to be half as violent as they probably would be on general principles to get everything out of him and yet there ho sits and says absolutely nothing theyvo questioned him in relays 24 hours at a stretch theyve plant ed a man in the same cell with him to gain his confidence theyve done everything but light a bonfire under him and theyre getting annoyed you seem rather pleased about it the doctor observed noncommittnlly i cant help boing proud of his grit its a perfectly useless line to take and itll only make it harder for him in the end the district attorney has got to tho point whero hes out for blood why they even held be- foro his eyes a copy of tho herald with headlines about sheilas murder and made him stare at it for hours butcher joo crumpled under that stunt two years ago you tcmombor and ho just sits there looking as if he were comowherc else it isnt as if he were an old hand a 12ycarold child could havo done better at covering his tracks 6o really needs a guaruian and sinco i found him i sort of feel that im it at least i want him to have a fair show he isnt the ordinary criminal type at all among all the things we dont know about sheila oshays murder er dr cavanaugh murmured bo- tween puffs of his cigar we do know
