at the tame ttaa and place may
be just coincidence. Stush could
still have rubbed Cord out, and
then someone else put the K. O.

them both off."
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.

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."
