Either possibility was impleas ant to contemplate and I wished something would happen to bring about a speedy solution. The sec ond killing had resulted in a nice state of hysteria around the take. The gloomy weather the past day hadn't helped people's nerves either. e e , ixUS cottagers were socking shut IdS MU WHJBB mW Ilia" carrying old-fashioned hunting guns on their nightly walks to and from bridge parties and the few picnics the younger set staged. Things must be dull, I thought, when Chris Gordon came to the house with some mail which I hadn't gotten around to pick up that morning. I could Imagine that the guests at the inn found the atmosphere anything but fes tive or vacation-gay, with police and reporters making It a head quarters. "Heard your mother wasnt feel ing so good after the other night," he said, handing me the letters and papers. "Thought It might be hard for you to get down and maybe there was something im portant in this stuff." "Bills, probably," I said, "but it was nice of you to think of us. Won't you come in?" I didn't ex pect him to, but ha took off his hat and followed ma into the liv ing room where we sat and talked a while. He seemed to have a hard time following the conversa tion and although it wasnt hot he kept wiping his nearly bald head with a wrinkled handker chief. "I suppose this hasnt helped your summer business, has it?" I was finding It hard to make conversation. He sat on the edge of the chair and looked around as though he expected a mur derer to leap at him from every door. "Been a long time since I was in this cottage," he said finally, when I'd thoroughly discussed the weather, the farm crops and the political situation. "I've seen a lot of cottages go up around here during the years. Wasn't much of a colony when I first came here." "Was the Morris residence bunt when you first came?" "That's one of the oldest 'round these parts," he said. "And did you know Miss Mor ris the old one, I mean when she was a young woman?" I asked. TTE went off again into one of those abstracted streaks, but finally be seemed to remember that I had spoken. "Eh Oh, yes, everyone knew Miss Millie around here." He reached for his hat and, taking one last mop at his head, stood up. "Anything we can do for you folks while you're here, just let us know. Always glad to oblige." "Thanks. What with people be ing killed every night or so it's good to know the inn isn't too far away should one need help." "Folks mustn't lose their heads," he warned solemnly. "Someone around here seems glad to help do that," I said. He looked slightly shocked and went out to his car without looking back. Maudie was calling and I went to her room. She was sitting up in bed reading a magazine. "What was that man doing here?" "Inquiring after your health," I said. "He'd heard you were upset, and then, too, he brought the mail." J tossed it to her, but she didn't grab as usual, hunting for letters from the boys. "Oh; so he brought the mail and came to inquire about me, did he? Now wasn't that con siderate of him." "Why, yes, I thought so," I said. "And you needn't sound so sar castic. But then that shows you're practically well enough to get up and start hunting for another good corpse." She moaned and sank back against the pillows. "Get out of here," she said. "Get out! I want to think." (TCo Be Continued)' MURDER! WORBOCKS. ANNIE. PUNJAB.
