' Uncertainty prevailed as to
whether or not some of the

huge quantities of corn this

tend to prevent any ' renewal of

The Silver Rood Mystery
By LEWIS ALLEN BROWNE
Robert Laws new
Pastor at Brooks
SYNOPSIS
During an af temoon party on the
lawn of Major Forrest's place, Ger
ard Montieth, extremely wealthy
man of 50. Living on the adjoining
estate, is murdered. Montieth want
ed Mary, his niece, to marry For
rest's son, David, and said be would
disinherit her if she refused. Mary
is secretly in love with an artist,
Howard Cms old. Forrest's son-in-law,
Harlan Stevenson, writer of
crime mysteries, is asked to help
solve the mystery. He finds that
Montieth was killed with a knife
which , was disguised as . a silver
rood. This was hanging on the wall
its another. room front where Mon
tieth was found. M ary, it is learned,
left the party for a half hour that
afternoon. Gnswold, ordered to
keep away by Mottieth, weeks be
fore, wit also on the grounds.
Mary, however, swears he was not
tibere.
CHAPTER VI
- "Nate is old and forgetful. I tell
you, Mr. Stevenson, Howard wasn't
here today. I am glad you believe
me
I nodded and stared at the silver
rood on the wall,
. "That's odd," I said, pointing to
?it: "Mr. Montieth wasn't much of
religious man.'
Mazy glanced at it. There was
bo sign of any sort of emotion in her
expression.
"That silver rood ? It has no relig
ions significance, or, I mean, it had

sort of an ornament he picked up
"abroad, years and years ago. Once
he said it was give- to him as a sort
of reward of merit.
"Did be ever explain?"
"No more. IS yon navenrt any

FJost a minute, Mary." 1 turned
and took the rood from the wall and
held it before her. I pressed the
ratchet catch with my thumb nail
and the still slightly stained blade
dropped down into view.
"Oh!" Mary gasped and her eyes
depicted amazement and no more, I
. was sure.
"How how sort f awful a knife
out of a crucifixl Bat wha
She caught her breath. "Was it done
with that T" she asked, huskily.
"We have every reason to believe
se. The autopsy -rill decide that.
They have taken the blade measure
ments.' I held it out for her to take-
She took it without hesitation and
examined it.
If she had used it to kill someone,
within a few hoars, she could never
have touched it again, I believed.
Then she said a surprising thing.
"Even if Howard Gnswold had
been here today aid he wasn't he
wouldn't have known about this.

"I love Howard, and ha loves me.

Davison says he never knew that
the silver rood was a disguised stiletto,"
"I don't believe that he did. 1
dont believe anyone, other than
Uncle Gerry, knew about it."
For the present, I advised, tell
no one about Griswold, or your ab
sence from the party. It will have to
come out later."
Mary promised.
I sent her back upstairs and went
out to where Sergeant Harper and
Foxeroft were questioning the servants.

"No sir." Mrs. Johnson straight
ened up and stared at Harper. "If
Mr. Montieth died a natural death,
why so many questions?'' she de
manded. "Yon are not to mention this to
the servants or anyone else, but Mr.
Montieth was murdered," Foxeroft
told her.
She was silent a moment. Then
she said, "Poor Miss Mary she
must have known, which explains
why she seemed to be filled with hor
ror, although she told me nothing."
"May I ask a question I" I said,
to Foxeroft.
Certainly."
"How how sort of awful a knife out of a crucifix !" Mary gasped.
Harper- was questioning Mrs.
Johnson, the housekeeper.
They were taking them, one by
one, from the servant's hall, so that
the others wouldn't know what had
been asked or answered. Mrs. John
son was a highly intelligent woman
of around forty.
I had Just come in as Sergeant
Harper started his questions.
She was saying, "Two years, next
March." I guessed, correctly, that
this was the time she had come to
work for Montieth.
"Would yon have opportunity to
see anyone who might come or go
from the library."
"Occasionally. As housekeeper I
go about to see that all the work is
done properly. Mr. Montieth was
inclined to be quite sarcastic if he
saw a speck of dust. Not that 1
blame him. He kept a large staff
of servants and paid them well."
"Did yea see anyone today in the
Hbrary I mean, any caller?" , .
Tea sir Chat is, on the library
porch." She turned and looked at
me. "I saw Mr. Stevenson out there.
Davisoa aerved a drink."
-1 nodded at her.
"I was passing through the re
ception halL The library door was
open. Mr. Montieth was standing,
holding a book in his hand.
"What time?"
"After twe. I couldn't say as to
the wiw-.es.
"About half past two," X said.
" knew about that, Sergeant,"
Foxeroft interrupted. "Mr. Mon

after that, Davison says." -

sharp way Harper glanced at me.

"Do you know anything about that
silver rood on the library wall?" I
asked.
"Rood ? Silver rood Oh, the cru
cifix the large one with engraving
on it?"
I nodded.
"Has it been stolen?"
"Oh no, it is right there. Do you
know anything about it?"
No sir. I know that Mr. Mon
tieth wasn't what is called a relig
ious man. I never gave much
thought to it It might have been
merely an ornament, or some work
of art. I wouldn't know about such
things."
"Did you ever handle it?"
-Oh no."
That was all. I asked Mrs. John
son to send in the maid who cleaned
and dusted the library.
Her name was Jackson. She knew
nothing about the silver rood. In
fact, she didn't know what we meant
by "rood." She said she always
thought it waa a cross. Ke, she had
never taken it down; she had dusted
it, along with the other things, but
didnt think she had ever actually
touched it. We could, she said,
search all of her belongings. She,
too, thought it had been stolen.
Harper set her mind at rest about
this.
"You wouldn't see anyone any
caller, would you?" Harper asked.
"If they came about nine they
seldom did I would see them, as
that is the hour I dusted the library."
"And you saw no stranger this
afternoon?" .
"No stranger" Miss Jackson
sudde&y caught her breath.

market leaders dropped to

months or longer today, although
extreme losses of 1 to 9 points
were cut down or cancelled by
a slow last-hour rally.
The news picture, while spotty,
showed little change and broker
age quarters attributed the fur
ther setback in the last partly to
weak securities markets abroad,
and continued doubts regarding
business trends.
Some "bargain buying" and
short covering were said to have
been principally responsible for
the recovery move on the final
