Detective story writer Helen
a soprano and bird-lover. The
hat.
(SYNOPSIS) The Met'g bright-
est star, Soprano BKUNH1l.DE
; WAGNER, is an avid detective
; story reader, so her manager
. husband BILL WAGNER, invites
all the nation's top mystery story
writers to hear her sing and then
ho.ua. annn.. o t th. Wa mat anmrt-
ment. Present too are OTTO
FURST, Met conductor, and his
former wife, LILY, Brunhilde has
been feuding with Otto. At the
supper party, excited and gay,
she treats each of her favorite
writers to an enthusiastic analysis
of his work.)
Chapter 3
Hpp niYt tnraet. wax n woman
isruniiuac spoxe in a voice tnai car
ried iirm conviction.
"Understand, dear, I like my
stories occasionally leavened witn
romance, because I am myscu a ro
mantic. But why must your hero
ines go stumbling into dark attics
and cellars Just because (hey hear
suspicious sounds? That's very sil
ly, especially after six or seven mur
ders have already been committed."
The author addressed managed
a polite smile. Then her face red
dened, for Brunhilde was quoting
a passage from her last book.
"Had I but known, on that fate
ful night as we sat around the
campflre on Angler's Island what
ghastly horrors were in store for
all of us, especially Casper, and
how it would end with Lucy's lovely
throat , . ."
She stopped and left the rest of
It hanging unspoken.
"Know what I mean?"
uait you qo De iter, Maaame
Wagner?"
"Yes," said Brunhilde. "As a
matter of fact I already have."
She was instantly the bull's eye
lor a barrage of inquiry.
"You mean you wrote a mystery?"
demanded Ellcry Queen, the de
tective novelist and editor, sniffing
out material for his magazine.
"Yes," Brunhilde was placid.
"What's it about?" asked John
Dickson Carr.
She shook her head. "I'm not
telling."
"How many murders?"
"Twelve."
"All done the same way?"
"Nope. All done differently."
The assembled authors were now
suffering from an acute attack of
curiosity. Twelve different murder
methods. It seemed impossible.
Hanging, drowning, shooting, poi
soning, strangling, stabbing, bash
ing what else was there?
But Brunhilde was adamant. She
refused to tell. Some day, perhaps,
they would see her atory in print.
"Can you tell us the title?"
She just smiled.
"Please." Agatha Christie was
pleading.
"All right, laid Brunhilde. "It's
called: "Murder at the Met."
"Admirable," said John Dickson
Carr.
"Excellent." said Rex Stout.
That seemed to be the consensus
of opinion.
Then Agatha Christie pointed at
the bird cage and said, "That la the
alnglngist canary I ever heard. What
do you feed her?"
"Italian Coloraturas."
Everyone Joined into her roar
of laughter. As usual, there were
some moments before she had her
breath back.
"And not only does the canary
sing," she said, "but her repertoire
contains a very unusual trick."
"Oh no," groaned Otto Furst.
making a sour mouth. "Not again."
"Oh yes." Brunhilde was firm. "1
want them to see how clever Oalli
Is."
"Galll?" Erie Stanley Gardner
looked puzzled.
"That's the canary's name. Galli
Curci. She doesn't have quite the
same range, but she loves singing
every bit as much as her name
sake." "What is this trick?" asked Ellery
Queen.
"You shall see." Brunhilde arose,
wet to a highboy, pulled open a
drawer, and found a small box of
birdseed. Then she went over to
the cage, slid the door back, and
itnroat
-
Traubel at home, making like
bird is normally on a Traubel
held out a finger. The canary flut
tered her wings and made a perfect
three point landing. This was ad
mired by every one except Otto
Furst and the French poodle.
With her free hand, Brunhilde
extracted a seed and offered It to
Galli-Curcl. Taking the seed in its
beak, the canary flew straight to
John Dickson Carr and put it be
tween his lips.
"Go ahead,',' urged Brunhilde,
"swallow it. Galli-Curcl is very sen
sitive and she'll feel l.urt if you
don't."
It was a small seed, and easy to
swallow, and since Mr. Carr, a very
gallant gentleman, had no desire
to Injure the little creature's sensi
bilities, he forced the seed down.
The others, observing him closely, j
saw that his face registered no ex-i
piesslon to indicate an unpallatable
taste.
Thus encouraged, each accented I
one of Gain's seeds.
The sincle ma or objection wasl
filed bv Otto Furst. who neverthe
less fell into line, looking sour as
ever. Galll placed a seed on his
protruding lower lip. The instant
he got It down he shot up out of
his chair and repaired quickly in
the direction of some plumbing
facilities, presumably to upset the
laws of gravity.
(Gracious! What goes with Otto
Furst? Why U Brunhilde so de
termined to show off her canary's
trick? Can she have a Motive?
Read tomorrow's installment and
see for yourself what happens
when sc-ranos become rabid de
tective fans).
