Yi VtM m " wwojwi- " OLD HOME WEEK MURDER by Phoebe Atwood Taylor Chapter 30 "It would be so atmple, Madame Meaux laid, "to make a pass at you Just as she comes in the room And mind, toots, youTe the one that does the explaining. Not me. I've got a contract. I get paid no matter what happens. No moral turpitude clause In my contract. And I'm going to stay right through to the bitter end. But if you force me well, I'm sure that dear old Mr. Leach would believe me If said I was leaving because of your undesirable attentions. And Mr Mayo's cousin told me when I came that I was to march straight to him with any complaints. He meant Pinky Upjohn and the boys, but you'll do. Asey, If the ram's letting up, how's for taking me home along with you two? I dont trust myself with Casanova here. "Oh, you cant!" Brlnley was on the verge of tears. "You've got to drive home with mel My wife would ask questions she knows you started out with mel" "And 111 tell her plenty, toots.' "Okay, toots," Madame Meaux relented. "You can take me home. but Just keep In front of your mind Just whatll happen If you don't behave. Okay, Asey?" "Pine," Asey said. "Keep him In hand for me. IH see you later, Brlnley, an' you better be thlnkln' up a lot of nice explnatlons, be cause considerable checkln' Is goln1 to be done on you. So long Where's your car, on the east road? 3ye.' Kay's teeth were chattering as she and Asey walked back to the roadster. Asey gave her a coat from the rumble seat. "I was goln' to stop at the hol low," he said, "but that can all wait. You're due for a hot bath an' dry things. I forgot you was wet to begin with." But as they passed by the hollow and the figures out In front of the Randall house. Lane and two of his troopers hailed them triumphantly. "Shells I" Lane shouted. "Hey. Asey, we got a shell!" In spite of Kay'a appeals to Asey to stop and find out everything at once, Asey merely slowed up long enough to call out and assure Lane that he'd be right back. Then he continued on to Aunt Sara's. "Don't wait," Kay hopped out of the car. "Hurry right back there. and when I'm ready I'm going to ateam back after you In my perco later. Asey, do hurry Lane waa so excited!" "I'm goln' to wait for you," Asey aald. "Hustle up, an' put on some- thin' that'll withstand the next shower we're goln' to get, because "Asey. Lsnell be frothing at the mouth I He wants you. and" "Uh-huh, an' I want you. You got a Job to do for me, young lady, so hustle up." Kay rushed off. While she took a brief hot bath and a briefer cold shower. Asey sat there In the car and puffed at his pipe. He was very pleased with the two discoveries made that aft ernoon, but not at all for the same reason Kay supposed. He started the car as Kay ap peared, dressed In a light tweed suit and wearing black and white sport shoes. "I'm simply thrown together- whet's the big Idea, anyway?" "YouU see." Back at the hollow. Lane was annoyed at the way Asey had flipped past, and he went Into the subject at some length. "Nice way to treat the only clue we got so far," he sold. "Zipping oast In" "You may have the ham," Asey told him, "but we got the rest of the sandwich." He unlocked a com partment In the roadster and dis played the shotgun Kay had found "Where d you find that?" "Kay found It over In the pond yonder. Now, let me gape at that shell, will you? An' then you play round an' see If It c'nects with the gun. That r'mlnat me, where d By Jane go to, anyway?" "Jane shut up shop," Lane said. and went tripping off with that Chase boy. She Just Ignored some customers. She" "With Zeb Chase?" "Yes. She said something about a cum bake. I said what should do with the customers, and she said, never mind them. No one's been around lately, though. They got rainea out." An hour later Lane lined up half a dozen sneiia lor Asey's InsDec- uon. "There." There was a note of Joy In his voice. "There you are. See? The same. This Is the eun that fired the shell that killed Mary Randall. There you are." "This is the gun that fired the shell," Asey corrected him. "I suppose you think look, you come out here and let me show you where I found It." Asey and Kay followed him out to a small and badly kept garden ai ine side or the house. "Now. here's where the shell wss. See how the rain washed It out of that hole? It's smack on our line. or near enough, anyway. Someone tossed It there, and covered It over See Asey, what's the matter with you?" Lane was annoyed and impatient. usually Asey caught on to thlnis oeiore you expected him to. This afternoon he was being unneces sarily slow. In spite of the rain," Asey said "you can tell that these flowers ain't been watered, or dug around, can t you? The ground's hard as a rock, even a little under the sur face. That was a heavy downpour. but it didn't soak In much. It's been pretty dry lately. And here, on this land, the water run down and off Into the drive. See where It went?" "What If the rain didn't soak in? It could have washed out the shell, coudn't It? Asey, don't you see where It was? It washed out, right RADIO PROGRAM XftLM KlUrrele Sa tarda p. .

Carl Anderson there." Lane pointed to the hole again. "It did," Asey said, "because it was stuck there this mornln', or last night, so that a good rain would wash it out. Lane, I'm not trytn' to muss this up, but can't you see? The ground around Is hard. Where you found the shell, It's soft. It was dug up, an' the shell stuck In, Just so It'd wash." Lane said a number of bitter things. "Yesterdsy mornln'," Asey said, "you raked this whole area, didnt you? Monday night you an' me took flashlights, didn't we, over this whole area? We raked It. We walked up an' down around this garden plot We both said It was hard and dry. Lane, how could we of missed see In' it? I'd say It could have wash ed out. But It's hard. And this rain wasn't heavy enough to wash any thing out of a hole like that And if the shell had been burled here be fore, we'd have found It see?" 'Listen," Lane said, "can't you figure that this means the case?" 'I can figure enough to figure that someone wanted me to think so. "The Warren girl," Lane said firmly, "stood here, probably In the lee of the apple tree, and shot Mary Randall, and then tossed the shell" 'That's another point," Asey said. "Shell. Why not shells, Lane?" Tossed the shells aside I bet you I can find the other If I dig up this garden" "Why," Asey Inquired, "bury 'em sep'rate? Oh, Lane!" If I dig up this garden, I'll find another. Anyway, then Warren took the gun and beat It to the pond, and tossed the gun in the water. Then she came back and let you In the house, and let you find the woman." "If it were me," Kay said, "I wouldn't have tossed a shell, or the shells, aside. Not If I Intended to dunk the gun in the pond right af terwards. I'd have flipped the lot into the water, all at once. Why complicate things by leaving the shells here?" All women," Lane said, "don't think alike. Where are you going. Asey?"
