THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT XII ''THERE is no more arresting sound than an unexpected knock on a door at nigh). "What's that?" aiked Charley. "It's someone knocking at the front door," said Mr. Hudson, "but I wonder who it can be?" The caller had woltcd for a few momenta, . then attacked the knocker with renewed vigor. "He's impatient," murmured Brenda, . 'Til go," I said quickly and 1 went through the dining room. I opened the door cautiously and peered out Into the darkness "Who is it?" , "Oh, is that you, Mr. Trent? It's Cass Hopes. I saw your lights and thought I'd investigate. "Come In, Cass." I threw open the door with relief. Hapes had assumed his peaked police hat as a mark of authority, but tho rest of him was unrecon structed Northshoreman, His red rubber boots were glistening with moisture, and the soft mud on their lips told of reconnoltcrlng on tho grounds. Mr. Hudson had followed me and now he cama forward through the hall, ."Why, Cass," ho said, "what's wrong?" , "I Just saw the cars and your lights, Mr, Hudson, and thought I'd look in." , Hnpcs whacked the moisture off the crown of his hot. "Well I'm glad to soe that the Sandy Point police arc on the Job." , . "Mlnot," corrected Hapes mildly. "Well, . Mlnot or Sandy Point, you'd better have n little some thing to ward oft cold." "No." Iftipes shook his head and there was a serlogs glint in his eyes. ' I m on duty, Mr. Hudson. 'Mr. Hudson pup back his head and eyed Hapes shrewdly. "What's on your mind, Cass' rpHE policeman put his finger on J a bubble of moisture on his hat and rubbed the finger against his thumb. "Well, Mr. Hudson, there's been some prowling going on in Sandy Point especially here at The Ledges, and I thought you ought to be on the watch." Mr. Hudson smiled. "There always Is, Cass. It's probably just a few curious 'townies who want to see what the summer colony lives in." Hapes flushed. ' "It's not townies, Mr. Hudson." The policeman held up his hat and I saw a clean hole through the peak. "Great heavens, man, that's not a bullet hole?" "It ain't termites," replied Hapes, "and it's damned good shooting." What happened, Cass?" I asked. "It was last night. I was driv ing down to Cap Hutchin's and it had Just fallen dark. As I came past The Ledges, I saw a bug light over by the garage. It went out tho minute I spotted It. Some how I didn't like the look of It, so I pulled up by the gntc and climbed the wall. I hadn't got any more than halfway to the garage when I spotted the light again. I yelled and got this for an answer." Hapes gestured with his hat. "I dropped liko I was hit and waited for another shot so I could Ore at the flash. But whoever it was, ho was cagey. No shot came and ho got away." "Nicholas." Phlncas Hudson took my arm gently. "Don't say anything of this to the girls." "Several people have reported seeing lights here," wyit on Hapes. "At first, I thought you 4ight be coming down from Bos ton, but no one had seen you so I got suspicious." "Naturally." Mr. Hudson shook his head In perplexity. "But I can't understand what anybody would want here. Nothing's been taken and there's little of value in tho housOj)" Hapes said: . "Whoever it was had no busi ness here, Mr. Hudson, and it's my Job to find him." "Of course," said Mr. Hudson. "I appreciate that and I'm very grateful. But I. don't think there's much danger of your marauder turning up tonight, now that we're here." Hapes looked very much as if he wanted to say something. But he closed his lips stubbornly. All right, Mr. Hudson. Ho pulled on his cap. "I Just wanted to . make sure everything was in order. Hut remember that tho follow who was here last night Is a killer and he's not particular who he shoots at." WHEN we got bnck to the, U hrary, Bruce Temple turned his head and I remember think- that he looked unpleasantly arrogant. "Wasn t that Hapes?" ho asked. "Yes," replied Mr. I'.idsnn. "He now our llffhls and thought hod investigate to make sure every thing was all right." Charley came through the door with a pot of coffee which he set down on the table. He sat down beside me. "Who was at the door, Nick?" "Cass Hapes." "What did he want?" . "Just checking up lo nee who was here." Charley's eyes rested on mine for a full five seconds. Then he said: Nick, ho knew who was here. I saw him in the square this aft ernoon and told him all about It." There Is a very large fly in somebody's ointment," I said. "Coffee, Nick?", Brenda Temple passed mo a cup and saucer. Her eyes were bright and knowing. You may be glad of it .rr.cr. (To Bo Continued) A Cap Sleeve Knit! r-T-r i 5723 By MHS.
