Murder In Duplicate .

Qv coming a natural repug- nance, Jim leaned over and touch- ed the crumpled figure. The body was still warm. It had been weds- ed in a corner of the back seat, propped upright so that it had the ghastly air of a pmenger waiting for the car to start.
He could visualise the scene. The car stood at the kerb, out- side the gate of Oorder's house. The road was dark, silent, de- serted, apparently not often used. Another car must have driven up behind it - softly. so as not to rouse their attention while they were talking with Oorder. out of that car had stepped a man. He must have peered stealthily up, and down the -road, to see that the coast was clear.
ms next grisly task would occu- py only a few moments. From his own car he had taken a heavy burden, walked a few feet with it. and then conveniently rid him- self of a dead body. Then he had driven off . . .
Hamilton, Jim judged. had been shot not -more than a half or three-quarters of an hour ago. In other words. it must have been very soon after they had left him in Mary's flat, unconscious, but alive.
Hamilton was obviously a mush specimen. The effect of the blow Jim had struck would soon wear off.
Jim could imagine him stagger- ing to his feet. cursing when he realized his quarry had got away.
What would Hamilton do then?
Whltoombe had seen Hamilton enter the. flats, and he had seen them come out. Whltcombe knew Hamilton, or at least knew of him. He had said that Hamilton was no longer a detective, as the big man claimed. but had been sacked from the force and had turned crook. His game was black- mail. Smith. also, was apparently a blaclunailer.
Jim experienced a little stir of excitement. Suppose Hamilton, I blnckmaiier. had belatedly discov- ered who the real killer was! sup- pose, during that conversation with them in the flat, Hamilton had suddenly realized the truth! Hamilton had been Smith! It seemed obvious that he lrnew a great deal about the Dor- mer case.
If he thought he now knew the real murderer, he might be bold enough to try to blackmail him. only he had underestimated the ruthlessness of his intended vic- tim. The murderer had been first off the mark.
It all fitted nnoothly together. with the inevitability of a jigsaw puzzle. ,
Jim came out of a. brown study to find Mary tugging at his arm. Her face was pale.
"What are we going to do now?" she whispered. "The police may be here at any minute . . .
"If they find him in our car. we're sunk." lJim agreed.
All the some. he stood a moment
A longer. He was beginning to grasp
the murderer": plan. It sent a cold shiver down his spine.
Carder had received a , phone call ”from the police." warning him that his visitors were wanted for murder. But the police hadn't really made that phone call. The only person who could have told the police about Smith's death was Hamilton, and Hamilton oh- viously hadn't been near the pol- ice.
so it was the murderer -- the slayer of both Smith and Hamil- ton - who had made that 'phone call. Why?
Because he wanted another witness against them: 'Corder. More than that. He wanted the police to find themlwith Hamil- ton's body in their car. A dead man in Mary's fiat. another dead man in Jim's car --that would make the case against them in- deed formidable. ,
wasn't sufficient for the murderer to plant Hamilton's

afterwards. Dan came home .from war as a knight errant, ready, verbally, to take on his lady's trouble. Had you been otherwise situat- ed, his gallantry would not have been so vaciferously asserted.
Are you going to compound this tragedy of errors by leaving a husband, who is the father of your child and provides adequately for you? You aren't even sure that Dan still loves you, or is willing to take a wife away from her husband. '
Think it over carefully before jumping into another mess.
Mooning over past loves is a sure path to unhappiness taken by all too many wives. Of course. it is a human weakness to feel that the grass is greener in the other fellow's yard, or'the fish that got away was the best of the catch, but when the factions involved are as fundame '31 as one's family, a far-distant graveyard is the safest place for dead romance. Don't try to revive the pastecspecially at 24. You have a long and productive future ahead of you; make the most of it.
DEAR MISS DIX: I am a woman of 58, widowed for the last thirty years. II raised my two children alone. Both are now married and doing well. New I am unable to work, and have been under doc- tor's care for some time. My children completely ignore me. They
do visit, which is rarely. they stay for a few minutes and run along. LA.
ANSWER: Children who neglect a needy parent are the most contemptible breed of humanity I know. And, shameful as it is, their number is legion. -
Ii-'l I humiliating course to take, but sometimes the only way a mother can obtain even a modicum of help from her. offspring is to appeal to a welfare agency or the-Family Court. Understand- ably, a mother would often rather starve than admit such brutal neglect on the part of her sons and daughters. There is nothing else you can do to force them to part with money, and absolutely nothing you can do to awaken them to a sense of duty. Prayer may produce results-ltls all you can depend upon.
DEAR MISS DIX: is there some wily that help can be obtained for those of us who are partially blind, who have over 1096 sight without glasses, and up to 50 or 6093 with them? some are being helped by the Institute for the Blind but others of us find it very hard to get along. There must be work we can do. We seem to have too much eyesight to be eligible for help from institutes for the blind, yet we certainly need assistance from someone. Sometimes it seems that it would be better if we were totally bli d. '

ANSWER: There is a widespread need for organized work among those who are partially or almost totally blind. If any of my readers can offer suggestions, or help for these unfortunates, I would be very
