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.
