PAGE SIX THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1929 LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE Ar"'" Interested By Harold limy. ' At R.A.U. WALLING Chapter 14 COUSIN JOHN ' Go Cousin John Merryweather u to be the name pi our atrange guest. I secretly admired my mother's daring and xorsignt. "Have you told Lazton?" I asked her. "Ob, I Just casually mentioned It Be laid Le didn't dream of Inflict ing bmuell . us for another night. But he wanted to wait until you came in. Professor Laxton sat In my long chair smoking a cigar, when X went in. X greeted him. "How do, professor? If you want another midnight expedition, not tor this child tonight." "Wouldn't think of asking yon. Mr. Qrenofen. I only came up to say thanks for not recognizing me In the hall at Hewplaee." "Oh," said I. "but I gave myself away I I forgot I'd seen you In London and therefore ought to have owned you when they brought you Into the library. In the excitement most people mused It, but one saw It - "Who was that?" "Mr. Fotherbury himself." "An well, he may forget. A queer yarn about this fellow Pell. What do you think? Just madness or method In It?" "If there wasnt any method In It, professor, there was purpose. Pell expected to reveal somebody." "Quite," saul Laxton. "What had It got to do with Fotherbury's dig gings?" "Ha vent ". shadow, professor. What about you?" "I had an Idea, Mr. Orenofen. But now Pell's dead, and whether I can ever put the Idea to the proof well, we shall see. But It's late and you're expecting a guest. So" "Must nave a sip before you go, professor." And I went out of the room with out giving him a chance to refuse. I wanted to know whether Mr. John Merrywether had arrived and the - coast clear. 3ut Mr. Merryweather had not yet produced himself. In fact It was while my mother put glasses on a tray In the dining room that I heard a car In Wood cot lane. "Take the tray In to Laxton, will you. mother?" said I. "Keep him talking till I've snirlted Cousin John out of the way." And I went down to the road, reaching the gate as the taxi pulled P. "Hello, Cousin John," I called into the dark.- "Just step Inside the gate. Got your bag?" A figure went by me. I paid the driver. He maneuvered round. Presently his tall light dropped down the road, "Cousin John Merryweather. where are ' you?" I said. "There's a man in the house, and wo thought we'd Just get In qultely and smug gle you upstairs at once." "A man? What man?" asked a deep voice. "I'm suspicious of all men." "He's called Professor Laxton," said I, "and he came down to look at some Roman remains at Now place. "Where Is he?" "In my studio round at the back of the house." "Could I see him without being seen?" "I don't quite know how you could, Cousin John, unless you could get a peek at him by the side of the blind." "Will you take me there?" "By all means. This way." It certainly seemed as If Cousin John might be a rather troublesome relative. We went quietly round to the back of the house. Unfor tunately I had not noticed that the blind of the big north window had not been drawn. A huge square of bright light lay on the turf. Nearly the whole Interior of the room was visible. My mc'her stood talking to Professor Laxton. Cousin John leaped back Just as be was about to step Into the square of light, "That man. " "Professor Laxton?" "Oo and get rid of him. I'll wait somewhere outside. Does he know you have a visitor?" Naturally. He's taking himself off to leave room for you Walt here by the shrubbery and I'U go and get him out of It." As I entered the den X guessed that Laxton had heard the arrival of the taxi. So I said to my mother: "Cousin John's Just come very tired, but he'd like a little supper when he's had a wash." Whereupon Laxton put down his glass and soon took his leave. When the coast was clear and brought the man in from the ahub bery, and he stood revealed In -the light of the hall, I had a terrible Jar. But my mother Just smiled in her sweetest way and said: "Well, Cousin John, how are you?" The man was tall and between 30 and 40 years of age. He had a stubble of beard of three days' growth at least, which stood out all over his face and this was the sinister thing was quite as long as his hair. Is there a less pleasant spectacle than a man whose hair has been clipped to a uniform length of a quater of an Inch, so that his scalp shows through everywhere? This man had a thapely head, but in his dark eyes ths look of a hunted wolf. He wore nondescript ciotnes. he held In his left hand a battered hat and in his right a rag ged bag. He might have rummaged an old clothes shop and put on the iirst thing that came to hand. My mother is a very dainty woman rather fragile In appear ance, but really quite sound and gracefully active. And she, like a hostess receiving a distlr-gulshed guest, walked up to this fearful tramp and said, "Well, Cousin John. now are you 7" He put down the queer-looking black bag he carried, took the ex. tended hand and bent over It. And then he was no longer a tramp but man who knew how to behave with a woman: and from the terri ble face there came that deep boom ing voice, "I'm very grateful, Mrs. Grenofen!" Nonsense." said my mother. "Tom, take Cousin John up to the Datnroom. I see you've got some things, Couiln John not like Pro fessor Laxton." No," said he. "I've no things not a rag. The bag" He paused, and his eves danced from one to the other of us. Then ne shrugged his shoulders. i may as well tell you now." he went un. ine oag contains pri vate things of great Importance and value to me. I want you to put It In your safe."
