went, the inquest over the body
u-hich Bobby Jones antt Dr. Thom
as found at the bottom of a ellfj
indicated that the man simply had
fallen over, lie is identified by o
ilre. Cayman at Alexander Pritch

"IIIIAT blooiltSlrBty 'mtlncls you
' have, Frankle," Bobby Bald.
"I know. It's probably atavism
(however do you pronounce It?
I've never been sure). Don t you
think eo? I'm sure I'm atavistic. My
nickname at school was Monkey
Face."
"Do monkeys like murder?" Que
ried Bobby.
"You sound like a correspondence
In a Sunday paper," said Frankle.
" 'Our correspondents' views on this
subject are solicited.' "
"You know," said Bobby, reverts
log to the original topic, "I don't
agree with you about the female
Cayman. Hor photograph was love
ly." "Touched up, that's all," Inter
rupted Frankle.
"Well, then, It was so much
' touched up that you wouldn't have
known them for the same person."
"You're blind," said Frankle. "The
photographer bad done all that the
art of photography could do, but It
was still a nasty bit of work."
"I absolutely disagree with you,"
Bald Bobby coldly. "Anyway, where
did you see It.'" i
"In the local 'Evening Fcbo.'"
"It probably reproduced badly."
"It stems to me you're absolutely
batty," said Frankle crossly. "Over
s palnted-up raddled hussy yes, I
said hussy like the Cayman."
"Frankle," said Bobby, "I'm sur
pilBod at you. In the Vicarage drive,
too. Semi-holy ground, so to speak."
"Well, you shouldn't have been so
ridiculous."
There was a pi.use, then Frankle's
sudden fit jf temper abated.
"What Is ridiculous," she said. "Is
to quarrel about the damned woman.
I came to suggest a round of golf.
What about It'"
"0. K., Chief," said Bobby hap
pily. THEY set off amicably together,
and their conversation was of
such things as slicing and pulling
and bow to perfect a chip shot onto
the green.
The recent tragedy passed quite
out of mind until Bobby, holing a
long putt at the eleventh to halve
th6 hole, suddenly gave an exclama
tion. "What Is It?"
"Nothing. I've Juat i ' ered
Bomothlng." ,
"What?"
"Well, these people, the Caymans
they came round and asked If the
fellow had said anything before he
died and 1 told them he hadn't."
"Well?"
"And now I've Juat remembored
that he did."
"Not one of your brightest morn
tngs, In fact."
"Well, you see, It wasn't the sort
of thing they mount. That'a why, I
suppose, I didn't think of It"
"What did he say?" asked Frankle
curiously.
"He snld: -Why didn't they ask
Evans?'"
"What a funny thing to say. Noth
ing else?"
"No. He Just opened his eyes and
Bald that qultt suddenly and then
died, poor chap."
"Oh, well," said Frankle, turning
It over In her mind, "I don't ace that
you need worry. It wasn't Impor
tant." "No, of course, not. Still 1 wish I'd
Just mentioned It. You see, 1 said
he'd said nothing at all."
"Well, It amounts to the same
thing," said Frankle. "I mean It Isn't
like 'Tell Ulayris I always loved her,'
or 'The will Is In the walnut bureau,
or any of the proper romanllo Last
Words thore are In books."
"You don't think It's worth while
writing about It to them?"
"I shouldn't bother. It couldn't be
Important."
"1 expect )uu're right," said Bob
by and turned his atlenllon with re
sowed vigor to the game.
Uul ih mtittor did not really dls
miss llsnlf from his mind. It was a
small polni but It trolled him. He
felt very faintly uncomfortable
about It. Frnnklo s polnl of view was
