"End toward the garage." "Did he aeem " "I didn't notice a darn thing about him. Marvin heard ma coming " "Marvin? Did ha coma from his room?" "No. Be waa with yon. Tha man I saw from the w.ter." "What?" "He'd heard yoa fall, he said, and saw the room door open." "Hm!" Linda digested that "Where were the othera?" "DeVoa and Statlander? Oh, the excitement brought them out, too. We brought you in here " "And telephoned for your mother. That was nice of you, Tom." "Then what?" "Well first we called Dr. Paraons." "Go on, Tom. I'm quite all right, Really. I'd rather have you tell me everything. "Well, he made an examination. Looked at the place and the body. He was a bit upset as to what was best to do because technically any case of sudden death like that has to be certified as an accident by the medi cal examiner. You're not supposed to move the body till he has seen it and said you could. Parsons isn't any too friendly with this man Boyle. He's that roughneck, old-time pill peddler one of the county political gang, you know. Anyhow the office ia a nice little bit of graft and he's never around on the rare occasions when he renlly Is needed. This time he's on a fislnmr trin with some of his cronies down nt the end of the island. So Pin-sons had to act on his own. He examined everything very carefully it was obvious what had happened to the poor old man and that you'd prob ablv seen him fall. A. far as we could figure out, you stopped at hia room on the way downstair, and found him' feeling badly. I told Parsons about his upset yesterday afternoon and the row. Anyhow you must hav actually seen him go over. No won der yon fainted! Parlons 1. .Mil downstairs, incidentally. He'll be np any minute to look at you and prob ably give me hell for talking and let ting you talk." , "So that's the story!" Linda drew a long breath. "That's what happened from our end anyhow. Ton can fill in the gaps." ' ' "Yes." Linda looked him atraight in the eye, opened her month and then shut it aa another thought came. "Our guests are they all .till here?" "Hnnev. don't worry about them. Ho patted her hand reassuringly. "Of course they're hert now but they're going aa quickly aa they can get on. You needn't aee one of them again if you don't want to." "Vo?" said Linda. "I told them the train .ervice into town on Saturday morning wa rot. ten and naturally I didn't want to hnrrv them too much. Especially ue.
