HI'ECUl.ATION

TACK at Hie hungnr wo couldn't
find the mechanic. But wc
fomd Joubcrt. lie was in tlio tool
locker and the back of his head
was a dreadful siKht. 11c had been
slUKKcd with a Slillwui and he was
quite dead. Meanwhile in the dis
tributor head of the plane they
found graphite which had fouled
tho points, killing the motor but
giving me nothing more than a
few added gray hairs.
We went up into Cuddy Naylor's
ofllce where the Venetian blind::
made prison bars on the floor.
Charley sat in u big leather cliair
smoking witli intense preoccupa
tion as if lie fell that he was lucky
to have the cigaret.
"Look, Nick," he said, "Micro's
getting to be something unpleas
antly fatal about you."
"I'm like Typhoid Mary," 1 an
swered. "I carry the disease nnd
other people die of It,"
"What were you doing fur those
10 months in London, Nick, or Is
it any of my businessV"
I sighed.
"I don't blame you, Charley. I
think even Pal imagines that 1
spent most of my time at The
Cluridgc Willi sloe-eyed Mala
Haris. I don't know what It's nil
about."
"As a mutter of fact today's
little incident, It seems to me, is
pretty obvious."
"How?"
"Somebody must think you still
havo Caluvcstri's diamond,"
"Even so," I said. "Why kill
me?"
"Imagine the ffetcrmnnn dia
monds in some vault In, let us say,
Warsaw." Charley locked his
hands behind his head and stared
at the ceilim". "Word comes that
the Germunstflre biking IhiWigh
and on the verge of taking the
capital and, of course, the Oster-
inann collection. That's live mil
lion dollars. They go out of War
saw in a car or a motorcycle or
on a hayrack that someone has
stolen or murdered for. y now
that five million dollars is any
body's who lias the courage to
take it. Rut they're still Just amaz
ingly hard and shiny pieces of
stone that you can't eat. So some
one puts them in a velvet sack or
a belt around his waist ond
takes a boat from Liverpool. May
be he has to give two or three
stones away as a bribe. He gets to
America nnd in order to give the
whole deal the odor of sanctity he
engages the services of an inter
nationally known person who
niighOvory plausibly, have come
into possession of the stones
legally."
Calaveslrl," I said.
Very likely," replied Charley.
"And she knows tho gems ure
stolen and is not above stealing
them for herself, In tho collection
s this talisman with tho Ironic
word PAX scratched on tho back.
That's tho key to llio whole ; jot
ing match. She lifts it, or mny be
they let her take It as a sample,
and she has it in her bag when
she meets a credulous gentleman
from the New World."
"All right," I said. "Credulous
or not, I take the amulet and give
it to the police and Calnvestri gets
her throat cut. Go on from there."
Charley took his hands from be
hind his head,
"I can't. Unless " Ho frowned
as he stared at his knuckles
"unless Caluvestri might have
inougnt you were privy to we
whole thing. She might have been
trying to make u deal with you
leaving Booker out in the cold."
Bui that's as far as we got.
.
pAT and I hud dinner In sight of
a marsh that sometimes heard,
In the early morning, the echoing
sound of a hunter's gun. And I
held my tongue until on Hie way
home we struck the Sunday traf
fic near the refineries and a couple
of planes from the airport drifted
over the storage tanks.
'Pat," I said, "I'd better tell you
about this morning now befure
somebody else docs."
She faced meuestioningly.
"Charley's plane was tampered
with," I said. "We landed in the
morsh."
Her eyes widened. I continued
grimly.
'Somebody slugged Joubert, the
mechanic who had serviced Char
ley's plane, put him in the tool
locker, and then put graphite in
the distributor head. Joubert
died."
Now Pot closed her eyes and
shook her head.
"But Nick, why?"
"I don't know. Maybe they've
got me mixed up with somebody
else. Maybe they think 1 ,know
something that 1 ought not to
know. Or maybe someone just
thinks that I killed Calavestri and
is looking for revenge. At any
rate, I've got to do something
ibout It."
"What can you do?"
"Perhaps if I slipped off quietly
for a few days alone "
Alone!" Pat broke in and shooic
her head. "No, Nick!"
'A little solitude might work
wonders."
"A little solitude might kill you.
Unless "
Then out of Pat's pretty head
came an enchanting idea. I fell in
love with it and later learned how
faithless the objects of first love
con sometimes be.
'Unless," she said, "you went
to The Ledges."
"The Ledges," I said ond I
grinned with pleasure. "Pat,
you've got something."
