The HOUSE on
AP NtwtftofurM
(Chapter8)
Retracting her steps, Derria reach
ed the vicinity of the laundry shop.
She drove slowly past, down Ma
ple Street, and parked her car
a block away, around a corner. To
Justify her going inside, she had
brought along a bag with soiled
clothes which she intended leav
ing.
In the light of day, Derria ad
mitted to herself, there was noth
ing at all sinister about the place.
As she watched from underneath
the awning of an adjacent shoe
store, she saw one or two people
go In, to come out almost imme
diately. Several seconds later a
car pulled up to the curb, and a
man with a briefcase got out and
went In. She waited for some
time, but he did not come out.
Derria glanced at her watch and
pushed open tne door.
Once inside. Derria glanced quick
ly around. The shop was dismal
and not too clean, but surprisingly
much larger than it appeared to
be from the outside. An opaque
glassed door on the left Indicated
an office of sorts. Steps sounded
along a passageway leading to the
back. A man came through the
door and said:
"Good morning." Of the man
with the briefcase there was no
sign.
Before she could answer, the bell
sounded and a woman entered the
store. She glanced around lnqulr
lngly, then came toward fahem.
"I was supposed to come here
uus morning, its aoout some in
surnnce. It this the right place?1
The man behind the counter
traightened up,
"Yep, this is the place. I guess
it's Mr. Owens you want to see
What's the name? I'll let him
know you're here."
"Mrs. Warnock."
He went to the door which Derria
had first noticed, and stuck his
head In. The man who came out
was the one she had seen getting
out of the car. He allowed the
woman to pass into the office, or
whatever it was, and closed the
door.
The loquacious character had
meanwhile rammed his position
behind the counter.
"Insurance?" Derria prompted.
"Here?"
"Sure, I let a couple of the boys
I know have the use of that office.
I don't need it for anything any
way. They say It's handy for theii
contracts out this end of town, and
I get well paid for it."
Unable to think of anything more
the could ask without arousing sus
picion, Derria moved toward the
door.
When will my stuff be ready?"
"Oh, Monday sometime. I'll prob
ably be shopping in the neighbor
hood, and I'll call for it."
A sudden thought struck her.
"By the way, until what time are
you open in the evening?"
He looked surprised. "We are
not, miss. We close at six every
day, and one-thirty Saturdays."
Derria looked up from her gar
dening to see Dr. Bayles' car com
ing toward the house. Having seen
her from the drive, he left his
car at the front and came around
to the side where Derria was work
ing. The doctor smiled. "Had sev
eral matters to attend to early,
and since I was passing by, I
thought I'd come in and see if
there were any further develop
ments." Derria came In and sat on the
bench near him.
"I'm glad you came. Several
things have happened."
"Let's hear Uiem," the doctor
asker, leaning back. Derria pro
ceeded to tell him about the stolen
car and her excursion to the laun
dry. The doctor was thoughtful. "I
don't like to throw any cold water
on you, but everything so far is
negative. It's all a mass of con
jecture, and I still tlinik it's Just
one oi uiose tilings tnnt happen
without nnv beginninir or end nnri
that you might as well forget
Voices sounded from the klU-hen
Sarah appeared in the doorway
to announce, "Maria is here." She
paused, throwing a significant
glance toward the doctor.
Derria Ignored It. "Ask her to
ome nere."
"Dr. Bayles," Sarah said unex
pectedly. "I wonder if you would

care to come and see the new
barbecue we're having built."
That the idea didn't particularly
appeal to him was obvious, but be
fore he could voice his objections,
Derria spoke up.
"Yes, why won't you? For what
it's costing us, I think it snould
be worth seeing. We'll be there
in a few minutes."
As the others left she turned
to Maria and asked quietly, "What
is ltv Youre worried about some
thing?"
"Yes. very much a-worry for you,
Mees Derria. There have been
men making the questions about
you. I did not see them, but I
have hear how they ask every.
where." With great agitation, she
began to fold and unfold the edge
of her coat. "About thees men, I
do not know anything but that
tney are Daa, very Daa. it ees saia
they have had trouble with the
poleece. They have been seen talk
ing with that man Kleeber. He owns
a garage. That one, ees no good.
There ees much he can tella you
n he wanted."
As if suddenly aware of what
sne had said, she looked at Der
ria, her big brown eves frightened.
"Please, Mees Derria, do not say
anything to anybody about thees
things what I have told you. Al
ready, I have said too much. I
am so much troubled." She gazed
about as if looking for some means
of escape. "I have kept open my
cars, and listen, but never do I hear
much. Only I know something she
ees very wrong,"
All further questioning was
fruitless. As if afraid that she
had laready said too much, Maria
refused Derria's offers of tea, and
quickly left.
But the words of warning rang
in Derria's ears "Something she
ees very mucn wrong!"
