j SYNOPSIS
Edward Fowler, af wealthy gam
bler, is murdered "at the Sunset
Bridge Club in Miami. His body,
witjh a knife in the back, is found in
the poker room. Fowler had played
bridge that evening with Millie La
Fra'hce. a ceduetiva blond: Ben
Eckhardt and Dave Button; but
quit the g'ame when Millie accused
him of throwing it. He paid the
owser, Toby Munroe, for his and
Millie's losses and ostensibly left
only to be found dead in an adjoin
ing; room' early, the next morning.
A mysterious prowler discovered
the, body, following which the po
lice received an anonymous phone
cal informing them of the crime.
Two weeks previous, Fowler had
searched the hotel suite of the Dur
lyn! Bessingers. Bessinger claimed
to be a wealthy grain merchant but
Fowler believed this only a blind as
letters found in a trunk relating to
hit grain business were evidently
written by Bessinger to himself.
The Bessingers were at the club
the night Fowler died. Bruce Far
... raday, the millionaire, enlists the
services of private detective,' Miles
Standish Rice," to help clear np the
murder because his son. Tolliver, is
involved. The boy a torn check to
Fowler for the sum of ten thousand
dollars was found in the latter's
roam. Farraday, Sr., tells LeRoy
and Stan that his party, consisting
of his daughter Eve, Tolliver, and
Mrs. Staunton (a friend) had left
the club about 1 A.M. (two hours
after Fowler left) and gone to the
Alligator Inn with a Commander
Eric Dawson, whom he had just
met, and the Bessingers. Glen Neal,
the society reporter , was also in the
party. Later, Millie arrived at the
Alligator Inn with Eckhardt and
Button. Next morning, Stan and
LeRoy search the club for dues.
I CHAPTER IX '
I The stair-well opened into an
"It shaped hall on the second floor.
To the right of the stairs, at the
. bottom of the "L," .were two large
closets. The one nearer to the stairs
had been converted into a cloak room
- hy fitting- it with a divided door,
which formed a counter when the
bottom half was closed. The other
closet was nsed for storage of clean
ing equipment and odds and ends.
At the end of the hall a door led
into the well equipped kitchen,
where Juan prepared tasty Cuban
dishes for occasional parties who
wished to dine at the' club.
Stan passed by the closets, and
lingered only long enough in . the
kitchen to glance in the big electric
ice box. It was well stocked, and
! served to remind him that Doris
Buchanan was busy with a prime

I The bridge room occupied him less
than five minutes. He went in the

; glanced without interest at the four
i tables and stepped onto the porch.
From where he stood he could see
part of Pomona Road through the
; trees. The porch was entirely
: screened. . It continued on around
' in back of the house, encompassing
the bridge room on two sides. Heavy
matting of woven grass covered the
floor. " ,:,:: - ::. . r'-.
The furnishings were simple

- wicker table supporting a lamp.

Oregon Growers Sell but
27 Bales for Week, at
18V
2 Cents Pound
r
Oregon markets i continued ex
tremely quiet, with trading al
most at a - standstill during the
past week. Sales by growers were
reported at only about 27 bales
of 1938 clusters,) which netted
producers 18 H cents per pound.
Demand was reported light from
both domestic and foreign buy
ers. The tendency of growers
and the trade generally to await
official announcements as to in
dividual allotments of producers
resulted in light offerings by
growers, which tended to offset
the slow inquiry j and impart J
steadiness to the marKet situ
ation in this state.
The materially lighter out
turn of the new crop in -Oregon
producing districts than was an
ticipated earlier in the season,
was an additional important mar
ket factor,. Dealers"" were taking
deliveries on early season con
tracts with growers, although
shipments to midwestern deal
ers and industries remained of
comparatively light volume. Cur
rent values on top qualities . of
1938 hops In Oregon were around
18 H-19 cents per pound net to
growers. i

There was another window, by the
door to the porch,' but the other
settee-swing faced it. Toby had sat
there the night before watching
Edward Fowler. I
In the card room the Captain was
questioning Toby about the seating
arrangements the) night before.
Stan scuffed vigorously at the grass
matting with the toe of his black
and white sports shoe. He bent over
and studied the result. Some of the
stiff fibre strands were loose. He
pulled out a few, vainly searched
the pockets of his white coat for an
envelope, and finally dropped them
into his left hand coat pocket.
As Stan came back into the card
"Don't you listen to him.
room, LeRoy pointed to the table
at the right of the porch door.
"That's where Fowler sat last night,
Stan.. His back was to the rest of
the room most of the time." - .
Stan hardly hear'd him. : There
were three doors to the card room ;
one across the hall from the cloak
closet, by which they had entered ; a
second leading onto the porch; and
a third directly across the room
from the porch door. The third, was
closed. . . . ' j ; i: )'.:.'.'
Stan strode across the room and
tried it. It was locked.' He looked
for a key, but the lock was empty.
He came back and rested himself on
the corner of a bridge -table with
out removing his feet from the floor.
Toby Munroe swallowed drily, wait
ing for Stan to speak.
Stan took a cigarette from his
pocket, lit it, blew a heavy cloud
of smoke, and watched it dissipate
lazily in the still air. "The matter
of proper ventilation must be a try
ing thing, Toby. It was hotter than
billy-be-dam last night. It's hotter
than that now. Is the air in here
better with that door closed and
locked?" i
Toby's face set in defiant lines.
"You better ask Hal Sweet," he said
shortly. "He's my lawyer. I've been
grilled once today." ;
Stan's voice wit reproachful! "I
merely wanted to find out if that
door was closed - and locked last
night." -

market leaders swept up
ward 1 to 5 points today and a
few much more aa Europe's war
scare evaporated with the signing
of the "big four" peace pact at
Munich.
- Overnight buying orders in
blocks as large as 10,000 shares
for some favorites such as US
Steel and General Motors swamp
ed the stock exchange at the start,
and during the first half hour the
ticker tape was behind. In the
first hour, the turnover amounted
'to 790.000 shares. ; Volume
dwindled later as profit selling ap
peared and closing prices. In the
majority of cases, were below the
best of the day. j
Jit was one of the most exciting
openings In months. Efforts to
coordinatethe flood of purchas
ing orders from all parts of the
country and abroad brought &
delay of 20 minutes before a deal
In "big steel" could be negotiated.
The two principal motors were
also late in getting a start.

SO stocks was up 1.3 points at

moderately active' but remained
fully steady. Sales by growers In
the Yakima valley area included
around 245 bales of prime to
choice 1938 crop Clusters, which
netted growers 19 cents per
pound. No sales by growers were
ieported in the Puyallup valley
district of western Washington,
although dealers fc were offering
20 cents per pound for new crop
Fuggles in: that area. Remaining
supplies in growers hands in the
Puyallup valley iwere reported
as consisting entirely of Fuggles,
the 112 bales of clusters pro
duced there having been covered
by contract and delivered.
California hop markets turned
somewhat stronger during the
past week, reflecting improved
demand from the trade and con
tinued light offerings from grow
ers. Sales by producers were
placed at 550 bales of 1938 hops

d
you please. I'm going back down
stairs." Toby turned his back and I
started from the room.
I can find out." Stan stood up
and put a hand on Toby's shoulder.
"There were several here last night '
who can probably tell me. I thought
it might be better coming from you." I
Stan's usually cheerful blue eyes j
hardened. "There is one of two :
reasons' why that door was closed i
last night. A man was stabbed to -death
in the poker room, just across I
the halL He had to pass that door
to get :n there. You knew he was I
going in there and didn't want him
to be seen by the players in here " ;
"That's a confounded lie!" Toby;
Captain," Toby yelled. .
screamed. He began to shake with
a quick uncontrollable tremor.
"Don't yon listen to him, Captain.
For God's sake, don't listen to him.
That room was engaged for a poker
game last night. The same fellows
have had it before. They always
make me lock the door so they can
get in without being seen."
"Yonll have to come clean, Toby,"
said LeRoy. "I can't take a yarn
like that back to headquarters with
out names and dates. I'm not out
to clean op gambling. I'm after
somebody to sit in a chair."
"It was CaprillL" Toby spoke
through a sob. "He's in town with
some of his mob for the races.
They'll beat the life out of me if they
ever learn I tipped you off "
The Captain whistled softly. "So
that rat's back in Miami. I warned
him last year to spend his winters
north." : .. . - . :
"And what about the game?"
Stan asked. "Did it end with the
last pot for Mr. Fowler?"
Toby slumped into m chair,
crossed his arms on 'a table, and
buried his face. His shoulders were
trembling with nervousness and
fear. "I'm busted wide open." he
sobbed. "There was no game. Cap
rilli gave me fifty bucks advance to
hold the room and buy liquor. Juan
fixed a lot of stuff and not cne of
tke crowd showed up!"
