AT TV PAGE SIX TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1929 THE CAKJ i Al. .HMtKNAI,, SALKM, OKKUUN By Harold ilray LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE ltir !:nTder After Another CHAPTER 3 THE MYSTERIOUS, PELL - Z wu destined to meet Veronica again on the afternoon following Pell's visit tc Wood cot. With her were Anderson Royle and Martin Somerfleld, whom she Introduced to me, and Insisted Z jrln them In a proposed speed-boat run. We paddled out to the Piftlper. an ill -smelling craft, composed nearly entirely of cowl and engines. I will not describe that nu. except to say we logged 65 la id miles In an hour. Zt wai 'ore Interesting tor me to watch Veronica's glowing blue eyes and golden complexion. But before we landed Z learned sev eral things directly and Indirectly. That Royle and Somerfleld were intelligent, likable young fellows; both thought themselves madly in love with Veronica, and she declined to treat them as anything but pals. That both the young men shared the commander's dislike for Roger Pell but Veronica was quizzical and would not reveal what she thought of him. That another person was In dis favor with both men. who alluded to him as "the unllcked cub." Z gathered i&e. Fred Potherbury was as objectionable as his lather was charming; that the son had dared to east eyes on Veronica, an unfor givable sin. Zf Z have succeeded hi giving an impression of Pell as a disturbing influence in Blackwater,. can now pass to the critical events of that summer, which culminated In the tragedy in the library at newplace. Before the crucial month ended, he was "Pen" to me, and Z to htm "Orenofen. Z think it was Veroni ca's attitude toward the man that created a liking between me and Pell. Z soon discovered she did not share her father's unreasoning hatred for Pell and the green-eyed aversion of Royle and Somerfleld due to the theory that Pell had de signs on Veronica, was foolish. Pell decidedly was not in Blackwater for love-making. In many talks between Pell and myself, the mention of the Sea brokes would bring him to what seemed the verge of a confidence. But he always drew back and the confidence never came. He had introduced me to Mr. Fotherbury and had taken me to see the excavations, when Fother bury learned Z did a little sketch ing, he Immediately begged me to make-sketch plans of his discov eries.' I agreed In a neighborly way. Pell and I were walking twoard the IVewptace Abbey one day when we met the parson, Mr. Marling. He was the most saturnine -looking cleric Z had ever seen, with his fierce dark eyes, and his tall, meager body. I had already di vined a rather special animosity ' between him and Pell, far different from the ferocity of Seabroke and the fussy dislike of Dr. E&niey, who obviously was painfully Irked when Pell displaced him as Fother bury's chief confidant and crony. Mr. Marling, as we walked along, , was discussing Fotherbury's latest i discovery, a slab with some paint ing on It. The pardon remarked! Fotherbury thought it a scene be tween a Roman genera and a Brit-1 lsh prisoner when Pell broke in with an apparently unrelated re mark, j "The Roman conquerors were hu mane to their British prisoners, weren't they?" he asked. "I don't know," I replied. "Well, they were," Pell retorted. "More than can be said of some people In modern times, modern convict prisons, for example, eh padre?" During tne montn - naa neen ai Blackwater, it had become obvious Just one man seemed to have no enmity for Pell Mr. Fotherbury. But it had become equally evident the most stouter of the hatreds was that of Marling for Pell and Pell for Marling, We found Mr. Fotherbury super- Intending the work of two men at the very edge of the excavations. His tall figure, large features, sil ver hair mu1 spotless black clothes made a notable picture and cer tainly looked far more clerical than Mr. Marling. "Ah. my dear Pell!" cried Mr. Fotherbury. "Here Is a real find. And Mr. Orenofen this will test your skill. How do. Marling?" Pell insisted the fensational dis covery should be broadcast. Mr. Fotherbury urged him to wait, but in the end, a note went to The Lon don Times, supplemented by a com munication from the paper's cor respondent at Hollman Bay to the effect that Mr. Fotherbury in his excavations had "the expert help of Roger Pell, well-known archeolo- Z cannot quite recall bow the sug gestion arose that Z should then and there do a drawing of the dis covery and myself take it to the British Museum, under pressure Z agreed, and Mr. Fotherbury left us to write the museum people to expect me. Thus, on the following noon I arrived there and found myself awaited. A pleasant old gentleman greeted me and begged me to wait until he telephoned Professor Lax- ton. . Laxton was announced soon there after. I had no large acquaint ance with the professorial tribe but i tnougnt Laxton a remarkably favorable specimen. He was a hard set, vigorous man of middle age. clean-shaven, with a rather sleepy eye but a capacity to come awake in an Instant. Professor Laxton asked me to show him the drawing but after a casual glance, he put it to one side. 'I saw in The Times," he said. "Mr. Fotherbury Is being assisted by a Mr. Pell. Have you met him?" Yes," Z answered. "I've seen quite a lot of him." I don't seem to remember the name of Mr. Pell as an expert In archeology," Professor Laxton re joined. "It's a distinctive name, not likely to be forgotten. What sort of a man is Mr. Pell?" We talked for nearly an hour. I described Pell and afterward regret ted that I mentioned the obvious enmity in Blackwater against the newcomer. Laxton studied me quiz zically as Z gave him this information. "Pell I can't get over Pell," he ruminated as Z was departing. "I ought to have heard the name. Mr. Pell doesn't seem to be very popular in Blackwater, does he? I wonder why." I was unable to enlighten him, or myself, la this speculation, and took my leave. But I was determined to sound out Pell as soon as possible. 1 took luncheon and early In the af ternoon was on a rtaln bound for home. Again I found myself unconscious ly pondering the Blackwater enig ma: Who is Roger Pell?" (To be Continued) At.' n oss . V. Short visit a Vounir frn In nn . Minnie II. vnlft li.
