Suddenly she threw back her oglzing. Walter's no angel to live with. Walter has his little claws. sometimes."

Then a wry, bitter smile touch- ed her lips and she looked old. "isn't it runny, how it goes with us?" she asked in her little-girl voicc. "Whenever I'm in luck. you're out of it; whenever you're lucky. something awlul's happen- ing to me. Like two sides or a bal- ance. It's always been that way." She added, dreamily: "I haven't been lucky for such a long, long time "

made the rounds of the Hollywood stationers. I went over the old or- der lists at the places carrying that brand or writing paper. At the iiith place I found her name on their list, she'd ordered two boxes six months ago."

"And the pen it was printed with?"

"The enlargements show one of the better pens-even ink flow. no strstching." '

From the street below. traffic sounds waited up. Tuck,sat for a moment listening to them. and then went to the hatrack for his brown fedora.

"You going to talk to her?"

"Yes."

"Want me along?"

"No...

Froody looked wistful. "What I can't figure is why she did it. If she was out to get Mrs. Hime, she had her chance at the inquest. and she knocked herself out cov- erlng up for her. I don't get it." He brooded tor a moment and Tuck put on his hat.

" 'You're going to suffer now'." quote Froody. ".l'hnt's queer. That's-wrong, somehow."

Moira Ha.stings.was not at home, Tuck waited for her in his shabby black sedan. which looked even shabbier than usual in comparison to the sauve opalescent convert- ible coupe parked just ahead of them. The midaftemoon sunlight. which always seemed clearer and brighter in Hollywood than in Les Angeles, beamed down on the chateau-like white building where Moira. Hastings lived. A woman in slacks above which showed a brown diaphragm stared insolent- ly at his car, went lightly up the steps of the apartment building. In half an hour Moira Hastings drove past without seeing him, and parked two spaces ahead up the sloping street. He was waiting for her at the door when she came up the steps. her key in her. hand. Above a tailored beige jacket her amber hair shone brightly. Her hard, light eyes flashed a hint of fear. and then she hall-dropped her lashes and looked very non- committal.

"I want to talk to you." he said. He took her elbow. turned her around, led her to his car. She balked. Then she relaxed and got

"What do you wont, to talk about?" she asked. when he had tucked his bulk in under the steer- ing wheel.

"The anonymous note you to Mrs. Hime."

She held her breath for a. mo- ment. ''I don't know what you mean."

Tuck sighed. and turned on the ignition. He pressed his foot on the starter and the motor whirr- ed.

Her voice was thin. "Where are you taking me?"

"To. the city jail."

Her body went rigid. and the brown purse on her lap slid to the floor with a muffled thud. Tuck

dropped one long arm and retriev- ed it, but instead of t ' g it he opened it and felt among the ' contents. She tried to snatch it trom him, but he twisted his body and fended off her hands with one elbow. He took out her fountain pen and put it into his inner pock- et. Politely, he laid the purse on Molra's lap.

"You can't do that!" she said.

"I've done it. The paper has been traced to you through the stationer where you had it printed with your name and address. Printing from this pen. enlarged. will match the printing of that note. I don't think it wise of you to continue to deny that you wrote and sent that note. but that's your business."

He slipped into low gear, stepped

on the gas; the car moved for- ward.
