TWO ROSEBURC NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURC. OREGON. FRIDAY. MARCH 13. 1931. .'Murder at Eagle's Nest' By WINIFRED VAN DUZER CHAPTER XLVII. "How would 1 know?" Bob r plied irritably. "A woman, lu a while dress. That's how I saw her . the white dress lor ihe was half way acruss the mounds and it was dark. Seemed to be sneak Ins kIoiik. 1 stood there and I saw her sneak up to the back of the summer house as if she was watehlnK someone. There's vines or somethliiK. and they almost hid her. Hut she came out and went around lo the other side; I saw her while dress on the other side of the house. Then she yelled wine thing, it sounded like, 'Thai's enough,' and 1 heard a shot." "Sure it was a shot?" "Ouxht to he; I've heard il-nty of shooting." ''What' did she do then?" "1 don't know. I didn't see her again. I ran across the lawn un.l she was gone. J looked inside and saw the woman on the floor." There was a long pause, broken only by Mllllcenl's sobbing, while the sick eyes stared al ihem all. "1 was going to call someone," Dob 'Trent went on at lenglh. "IJon't know why 1 didn't. Guess I must have been out ot my Head. What I did was come up here ami grab a sheet out of the bundle of laundry on the porch. 1 took it back and covered her np. Then I got the car turned around anil came home. That's all." The too bright eyes closed; he seemed to lapse into stupor. A tier a time the others went n to the little room and Mllllcent wept out an apology for purloining the cigarette lighter. "You see, 1 was afraid to have Bob tell. 1 I didn't mean to harm Ted Pros I truly 1 didn't! Duly I thought it would give them something to think about till they'd found the right one. Oh, what will become of us?" Walter tried to reassure her bill his voice sounded flat. And all at once Win knew that Wulior did not quite believe lloh Trent's story and that Reynolds did not believe II at nlll Hhe knew It was Ihls an underlying suspicion of Hob Trent In Waiter's mind which accounted for bis lack of definite action, his following fulse clews. He had been trying lo shield the sick man, this broken hero they all loved, hoping something would turn up to substantiate his faith, wavering always between that faith and duty. She loved Walter for It. It came to her that this moment of sud den knowledge had brought her a first realization of what love ac tually was. Jn the Bhadows of the porch she saw t ied Hurke, and knew all too . well what his presence meant. imogene was waiting at the sla Hon house. A white and shaking Imogene, though her Hps were pulled into a mini, malicious smile. Mini did not know why she hail followed Ihe officers hack since It was plain Waller did not wish lier'lo, but now she was glad she ad come. Hhe w as hoping against hopa that something would hap pen before tomorrow, morning; something . which would save lloh front the arrest that Walter would lie able no longer to delay. Hhe saw Waller give Ihe girl a nod and watrhed Imogene attempt one ,of her flirtatious glances ul iiim and Reynolds. "I auppone you've remembered something else?" Walter asked dryly. "Anybody can forget things." "If they try hard enough. Had memory gets people Into trouble young lady." "Jlut you wouldn't let me get Into trouble, would you, Mr. VanceT Not when you hear whut ESD ONUWIMOIOKS RADIO THE 'LITTLE GENERAL M with Rariiatrona ' It Ih I'm Koing'to tU you." "All right, Imogen; hurry on." The girl drew a breath and Dim saw the look of malice twist iutosk her lace again. She wailed a mo ment and then Hpoke with drama tic clearni'KH. " know who Ihe man wan the UaronHHH met In the garden." "What 7" Waller came to hin feel. "You knew Uiib and didn't tell?" "I'm telllnj? now, ain't I? Oh, sure, I tuippose you'll make a racket." Sin Beemed frlKhtent-d all at once frightened and untune of heiHelf. Him wondered if she had acted hastily In coming here and win heginnliiK to repent. Rea lizing In no in e k (.range way what was coming, Him was more inter ested In Imogene than In what he meant to Hay. "I'm Horry," the maid continued more soberly. "Ouess 1 couldn't know how you'd feel about It. Any way, the man didn't have nothing to do with the murder." "How do you know that?" Wal ler snapped. "Because I seen him go out and I seen him come In and the mur der was afterward. Anyway, he waa in before 12 o'clock. The man," Imogene stated, "was Mr Dole." "Ah, the philandering Mr. Dole." observed Heynodls with elaborate aarensm. The sareaRm was lost on Imo gene but not the Implication, which aeemed lo Fhrow her Into fury. "You said III" she sputtered. "It's Ihls one and that, one with him and true to nobody, that's what. We'll see can he go around telling lies to decent hard-working glrlH." "Dole has been lying to you, Imogene?" "Well, 1 don't care nothing alinut that, lm through with him. What I want In Justice done; that's all." she muttered In a way which indicated that this was by no means all she wanted. "Well, Its like I was telling you before. Mrs. Hardy sent me out of the dressing room about eleven thirty and I went up stairs." "You said you were asleep In ten mlnuates, I remember." "Well, I wasn't I started to undress and then 1 sat by the win dow a while not very long. I guess. I seen the Haroness on the terrace; she was standing there like she was waiting for someone. And 1 seen who It was when W I Ham came from around by the kitchen. They began" to talk and she took hold of his arm and they went down the path to the summer house." "How long were Ihey gone?" "Not more'n firieeu minutes. Not him, anyway. He came back then." "He cuine hack alone?" "Oh, mire, Hud enough of her I giH'Hfl. He went up the kitchen stair, 1-tuU a while louder and I was undressed and in bed when I beard the clock Htrike midnight." "Hee anyone else in the gar den?" "No, I didn't," Hhe replied sulk ily. "I didn't see anyone or any thing else about tho old murder. In case you maybe get to thinking I'm not on the level about Ibis." They asked her more questions and finally let her go. And thou they sent for William Hole and he was brought in. si 111 self-poH'ssed, though his eyes. Ilim uollced, were harrassed. He admitted the truth of Imogeiie's story simply, u iih a sort of fatalistic mini. "I've been an awful fool," he said, stepping out of hie butler character. "That's all, though just a fool, uot a murderer. When X think or her lying out there dead Cod. "The story goes back a long time ten years. She wasn't a HaroneBs thn; she was a dancer, like myself. We danced together In 'Helle of liroadway' and I It'll for her as everybody else was do ll, only harder. Something about her to drive one mad. We we went to Paris. We danced lhre and In London all around. She ditched rue when she b'-gan to K't famous. I well, you couldn't blame her. I wasn't anybody much and there was no lint if to where she could go. Ambitious she uas. You see? "1 didn't fall out of lov with her, though. 1 came back here and did a little something on my own But 1 kept remembering. Want ing to see her aga n. That's hunt to understand, I guess." Walter Jii'.'. hf-rfjiv "On cm" "I read In the pap-i (the w ;i coming to America coming to visit Mrs. Hardy. Ho I got a job as butler since I figured I couldn't get In any other way. Didn't ex pect to speak to her, you know. I just thought . . . Say, It's funny how things work out; the Illusions you carry around." 'Illusions?" The man looked up in surprise and shook his head. "Why, yet. When I did see her 1 knew I'd been kidding myself all these years. I wasn't in love with her at ail and hadn't bten for a long while. Don't understand that even yet. When I saw tier that night she looked IlUe Just another woman to me." "You told her Ihie?" ' "Wi'Il, she wanted to stir up the old thing, I suppose. Asked me to meet, her in the garden. That " he said with a glance at Blm, " was what the note was about. I didn't want to go, but I did. We walked down to the summer house and sat there a few minutes. She v, ;ih angry and disappointed. I left her out there." He shook hiiiis If a.s one might upon awak- i niug from a had dream. "1 said I'd ben a fool." "You understand," Walter asked him, "where you're standing now?" . "Oh I'll not t;y to awaj, ii thai s what ou mean. I'm will ing to lake what over's coming lo in-. I suppose. The price of tolly." Him fell sorry for him as he went away slowly, his head down Had he told the truth? She would have said yes. And yet. . . . It was then that Chief Kury paid an, unheard of midnight visit to the station bouse.
