The Story So Far:

Seemingly normal, Intelligent and attractive Philip Monrell has married Stella Bergen, a beautiful refugee who has been a companion to his mother. They are happy but the erratic, morbid side of Philip's nature develops more and more. He secretly kills Stelle's pet kitten because his friend, Ward Androws, has given it to her. He becomes, obscssed by the notion that she and Ward are in love. As head of a steel works he antagonizes the men and almost causes a riot. Then, one day, nearly crazed, he tries to push Ward into a steel furnace. That night, Ward confronts him with it. They quarrel and Ward leaves to go to London, Philip has won but at the same time he feels that he has really lost-Stella.

"Not that I'm expecting burglars," said Philip. "But you never know. haven't they?”

Then he replaced it in the door crack and tled it to the bell rope in such a way that it seemed as if the knife handle were the bell handle,

And so it was arranged-against Stella's better judgment. Ward was to come out to Chassingford 'late the next day.

It had been easier than he thought. Now he went ahead with his plans. They were diabolically simple, yet perfect to the last minute detall. Iow He got them under way hours before Word wan expected.

Philip laughed. "Not that I'm expecting burglars. But you never know. Everybody has some ene- nies, haven't they?"

When the servants were all gone he went into the library and tried out his device. He placed a hunt- ing knife between the door that led to the hall and the door post. Then he advanced to the tip of the blade to see that it touched his heart Satisfied that the knife was in position he opened the „door......” The_kulfe dropped to the...

Ward obliged but suddenly Philip taughed. "How stupid

Now Philip began to talk gaily,

feverishly, about everything under the sun. His eye was on the clock howover.

But finally Ward cut in brusque- ly. "I haven't much time, Philip. Hadn't we better get down to busi- ress? You said that you'd like to

Phillp smiled, quietly and hold out his hand. ** I'm going to. And

And later, there had been the violent quorrel between the two men.
