' ""By VIRGINIA HANSON Cy
Rejected Manuscript
' The club orderly, passing through
(from tho bar to the kitchen rooms,
etopped when he saw ua.
"There's some mail for you, Miss
Cornkh. I was fixing to bring it
around to the colonel's quarters as
soon as I go off duty. But bIiicp
you're here I'll get it for you." He
vanished.
"Would you like me to put the
suitcase in your room?" the chap
. lain asked while we waited. "Or
perhaps you're not staying there?"
"No. Just leave it here, thank
you," I said evasively. "I'll speak
to Mrs. Bridewell" f
The orderly reappeared with the
mail. I took it from him and mut
tered something uncomplimentary
as I saw there was nothing from
Adam.
"Not bad news, I trust?" the
chaplain asked anxiously.
"No, just not good. A rejected
manuscript and a letter from the
same people. They were in an un
pleasant hurry about It, I " must
say."
He tut-tutted a couple of times
while I thurst the letter, unread,
into my purse. Then he came out
with some bright remark about If
at first you don't succeed, or words
to that effect.
The orderly, lingering, said: "Too
bad about that, young lady," and
added fervently, "I'm glad I don't
sleep here!"
"I understand the, jah, weapon
was taken from the kitchens here?"
the chaplain asked with what I
could not help considering ghoul
ish interest.
"I guess It was. The cook said
her best butcher knife was miss
ing, and she hasn't got It back yet.
She was pretty sore when she tried
to cut the ham this morning"
"Anyway, llm glad I wasn't around
when that fellow come for the
knife," the orderly dilated with grue
some relish. I got one scare a cou
ple of nights ago that will last me
awhile. I was ready to go back to
the barracks, and there wasn't a
soul around. It was a week night,
and I guess everybody was in bed
for a change. I went back to the
kitchen to change my white coat
for my uniform blouse that I al
ways leave hanging out there, and
I came back through the dining
room. The lights were on out here,
see, and the dining room wasn't
exactly dark, so I didn't turn on
no lights. I was almost to the hall
when I seen this sort of floating
white figure by the buffet. Not that
- it was acutally floating, or even
moving when I first saw it. It was
standing real still, like it hoped
I wouldn't just notice it at all. Well.
for two shakes I would have just
cut and run. But I was right by
the door, and I figured I could get
out quick if I had to, so I reached
over and turned on the light."
-He paused, enjoying our atten
tion and creating suspense. Then
he chuckled a little and went on
"Well, sir, it was Mrs. Tack
the bride, you know. She had on
a kind of white bathrobe, and she
had a medicine bottle In one hand
and a vinegar cruet in the other
and she was pouring vinegar into
the bottle. I reckon I thought she
was daffy or something. I just
stood there and stared until she
gave a little laugh and asked me if
I didn't know vinegar was good for
a headache. Seemed she had one
and was going to rub vinegar on
her head. I told her it was a new
one on me, but she Just smiled
and said, 'Don't tell anyone 1 swip
ed it. So I didn't But I guess
she was just joking, don't yuo?"
As both the orderly and the chap
lain seemed disposed to linger and
continue the subject, 1 took my
overnight case and my rejected
manuscript and went off down the
hall to Felicia's room. But it did
strike me as odd that Sandra would
Jwve been filling her medicine bot
tle in the dark. And there was!
something else the orderly had said
that rang the little bell in my mind.
Something that for the moment
eluded me. :
