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

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?"
