"The Papers"
And, although Ascy hadn't
considered this particular an
gle of the situation belore, he
couldn't stake his oath that the
Boat was the only thing Alfred
had buried. And, after all, Miss
Olive was still missing.
"If that goat was a red her
rin'," Ascy murmured to him
self, 'I'm goin' to look one
plumb dumb fool!"
He strode over toward the
kitchen ell.
The lights went out before he
got there, and as he peered
around the corner, Washy, in
a belled mackinaw and with his
little blue knitted pap on his
head, sidled out the kitchen
floor and started down the path.
He didn't exactly run, but he
walked so rapidly on tiptoe that
the effect was the same, and he
held his head down and his
shoulders crouched a little, as if
he were trying to make himself
small.
With a puzzled look on his
face, Asey watched for a mo
ment, and then quietly set off
down the path after him.
He heard a crackling sound
as Washy left the path and
skirted the brush pile, and then
the soft crunching of his sneak
ers as he hurried along down
another gravel path.
Keeping well behind him,
Ascy followed him around a
Finall pond, through a pine
woods, and down a little slop
' lug hill to (lie bay shore.
Washy paused for a moment
at the edge of the beach grass
and then continued more slow
ly toward the gaunt outlines of
a bathhouse that loomed out of
the fog.
Waves lapped on the shore
beyond, and a bell buoy rang
hollowly from Quissct Harbor,
and then Asey heard the rat
tle of keys and the click of a
padlock.
Washy swung open the bath
house door, emerged a moment
later with a shovel, and then
began to dig industriously in
the sand. .
After a few moments he stop
ped, jabbed his shovel upright
: Into the snncl, nnd took some
thing from the pocket of his
mackinaw.'

Asey strolled forward.
His hands were in the pock
els of his coat and he almost
sauntered up to Washy, but he
was ready to meet anything
from a frontal atlack with the
shovel to what used to be
Washy's piece de resistance, a
a sort of elementary flying
tackle.
"By gorry, it's you, Asey!"
Washy said in a voice of pleased
relief. "I must say I'm glad! I
been tryin' to got hold of you
all cvenin' long to see what you
thought was best for me to do
about these cussed things. Here.
You take 'em."
He held out a flat fifty cigar
ette tin.
Asey look it with caution.
Washy was also a past master
of the extended hand and the
hearty grip. And when you
came to and picked yourself up,
you found your arm was
broken. ,
"What's this, Washy?"
"It's them cussed papers.
Honest, Asey, I been like to go
crazy, with them cussed cops
stickin their cussed noses into
everything, for fear they'd find
'em an' start askin' my wife
say, you met my wife now,
ain't you?"
"Uh-huh."
"Then you kliow, if they find
these papers an' ask her about
'em, I'm a goner! 1 kept thlnkin'
I'd be all right as soon as Miss
Olive come back. But with her
away, no one wouldn't ever be
lieve me. Anyhow, now you
gol 'em," he hooked his arm
chummily in Asyc's, "an1 every
thing's okay. My, my, it's good
to get them cussed things off
my mind, I can tell you. Come
on back up to the house, Asey,
an' let's us talk about the ole
days"
'Wait up," Asey disengaged
himself warily. He still didn't
trust Washy even in this nmod
of benign good humor. "What's
all I his aboul papers?"
"Oh, they're In the box. Come
on out of this damp an' fog
an'"
"Hold on, Washy! Come back
here! What are these papers,
an' what's the idea of buryin'
'cm?"
'I lold you!" Washy said im
patiently. "1 don't want them

cussed cops to take 'em to my
wife an' ask her any questions
about 'em, because then I'd be
a goner! So 1 thought I'd just
bury 'em out of the way till
Miss Olive come back, because
then people'd believe me say,
Asey, you don't think nolhin'
happened to her, do you?"
"I hope not. Washy, slop
dancin' around, an' tell me
what these papers are!"
"They're -just the notes."
Washy took Ascy's arm again.
"She wouldn't never take 'em,
you see. She said she trusted
me. But I said, 'Miss Olive,
with a sum of money like that,
you got to have a note.' I told
her that ten years ago. So I
makes out a note. N'en as I paid
her back, I made out other
notes. She gives me a receipt
every lime I pay her back. The
receipts is in that box, too."
"Do I understand," Asey was
honestly bewildered, "that you
owe her money?"
"Only two thousand now,"
Washy said with pride. "I paid
back the other five."
"Washy," Ascy said, "come
over here an' sit down on these
bathhouse steps an' let me get
this straightened out. Miss Ol
ive once lent you seven thou
sand dollars? What for?" Asey
asked.
Washy understood his ques
tion. "You see, ten years ago
the bank foreclosed. Kind of
hard, times was then. An' the
cussedest part was, Asey, I had
the money to pay 'em with, on
ly it was all tied up in this
schooner. Ever know Sim
Smith?"
At Six Ter Cent
"I was partners with S i m
Smith in this schooner," Washy
said. "Thai's where my money
was tied up. I knew I'd get the
money back all right, some day,
but the bank, it had to get paid
cash money then, see?"
Asey nodded,
"Well," Washy continued, "I
was feelin' pretty blue about it
all when Miss Olive came to me

one day, out In the kitchen, an'
said she knew how things was,
an' she'd like to lend me the
cash money to pay the bank.
Only she didn't want Mrs. Doane
to know. So "
"Why not?"
"Miss Olive said Mrs. Doane'd
make a lot of fuss over her, an'
things wouldn't be the same, an'
nolhin' but hard feelin's ever
come when one woman lent an
other woman money I think
she. was right, don't you, Asey?
An' when them cussed cops
started pokin' around tonight,
I thought to myself, I wasn't
goin' to have this spoiled now
if I could help it. It'd look awful
funny if they asked my wife to
explain about the notes an' she
didn't know, see, an' nobody'd
believe me if Miss Olive wasn't
there."
"Washy, where in time'd Miss
Olive get this cash money to
pay you with? They told me she
was a schoolteacher."
"Oh, she's one of them care
ful ones, I guess," Washy said.
"Think of it, my wife not know
in' about this! When I get the
last cent paid up, I'm goin' to
tell her an' show her the notes,
an' that's goin' lo be a great day, i
Asey, I can tell you! Asey, you
don't think anything's happened
to Miss Olive tonight, do you?"
"I don't know. Asey opened
the tin box, struck a match, and
held up one of the papers. It
was a note, all right. Washy was
apparently telling the truth.
"I hope you noticed," Washy
said proudly, "that I pay her
six percent interest, too. I pay
that regular, out of my own pay,
an' what I pick up shootin' crap
with fellers like Rankin around
the Inn."
"Where's that gun of yours?"
Asey asked. "Got it in your
pocket now?"
"Oh, I give that to one of
them cops," Wastly said. "I told
him I had a gun, an' a license,
an' give 'em to him, right away.
But you know what I was think
in' tonight?"
"What?"
"I was t. 'nkin' if anyone's
harmed Miss Olive, I don't know
but what I might cut loose en
ough to make up for all them
quiet years. I'd like to locate
her, Asey, an' be sure she was
all right. Can't you figger out
some way we can find her?"
"I done my best," Asey as
sured him. "Tell me one more
thing, Washy. This feller Alf
red, Lady Boop's chauffeur. You
see him go into the Inn this
evenin' "
More On Alfred
"I lold them cops I look a
pot shot at him," Washy said
with a snicker. "I couldn't help
myself, I always wanted to, an'
there he stood outlined against
that ell, big as a barge! I knew
I hadn't ought to of, but I could
n't help myself. I just had to,
Ascy."
"Wasn't carryin' anylhin,' was
he?" Ascy asked. "Like a large
bundle, maybe?"
Washy laughter. "Say, you
couldn't tell, with him? Once I
seen him walk in that kind of
a waddle of his' from the garage
lo the car, an' it wasn't till ten
minutes later that I realized he'd
been luggin' a tire all the time!
He ain't such a bad shot. Used
to be a cop, you know."
"Alfred? He was a cop?"
