PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, lEDFORD, OREGON", SUNDAY, MARCH 22. 1936. BTNOPttll Although they have ' lepat proof, Bobby Jonet and Frankie Dertoent know that Roger Baetlnglon-ffrench it the murderer el Alan Cartlaire. But Roger ha eeeapcd them, leaving them trying i to convince the polloe that the vihole thing U not a practical joke. Nov) Bobby and Frankie are hav ' ino breokfaet at the Chipping Som ort'Ye Inn, while their tellow eon epirator Badger tleepe peacefully .above them, Bobby found a photo oraph In Roger1 cottage which -they hope may be a clue. Chapter 41 ROSE CHUDLEIGH A WAITRESS had Just approach ed, bearing toast ' "Do you know who that 1st" frankl asked. . The waitress regarded the photo graph. "Now I've seen the gentle nan Iff the gentleman who had Todor Cottage, Mr. Templeton. they've gone away now some where abroad, believe." "What aort of man wai he?" "I really couldn't ay. They didn't tome down here very often Just week-enda now and then. Nobody law much of him. Mrs. Templelon was a very nice lady. But they hadn't had Tudor Cottage very long only about all months when a very rich gentleman died and left Mrs. Templeton all hla money, and they went to live abroad. They never sold Tudor Cottage, though. I think tbey sometimes lend It to people for week-ends. But I don't suppose with all that money they'll ever come back here and live In It themselves." "They had a cook called Rose Chudlelgb, didn't they?" asked frankie. But the girl seemed uninterested In cooks. Being left a fortune by a rich gentleman waa what really stirred her Imagination. In answer to Frankle's question she replied - that she couldn't say, aha waa sure, and withdrew carrying an empty toast-rack. "That's all plain sailing," aald Frankie. "The Caymans have given op coming here, but they keep the place on for the convenience of the gang." They agreed to divide the labor as Bobby had suggested. Frankie went off In the Bentley, having smartened herself up by a few local purchases, and Bobby went off In quest of Albert Mere, gardener. ' They met at lunch time. "Well?" demanded Bobby. . Frankie shook her head. "For gery's out of the question." She - spoke In a dispirited voice. "I spent a long time with Mr. BIford he's rather an old dear. He'd got wind of some of our doings last night and waa wild to hear a few details. I don't suppose tbey get much ex citement down here. Anyway, I soon got him eating out of my hand. , . "Then I discussed the Savage case pretended I'd met some of the Savage relatione and that they'd hinted at forgery. At that my old dear bristled up absolutely out of the questlonl It wasn't a question of letters or anything Ilka that. ' "He saw Mr. Savage himself, and Mr. Savage Insisted on the will's be- - Ing drawn up then and there. Mr. Elford wanted to go away and do It properly you know how they do sheets and sheets all about nothing" "l don't know," aald Bobby. "I've never made any wills." "I have two. The second was thla morning. I had to have some excuse for seeing a lawyer." "Whom did you leave your money to?" - -"Tpu." "That waa a bit thoughtless, wasn't It? It Roger Basslngton ffrench succeeded In bumping you off should probably be hanged for It!" "1 NEVER thought of that," said ' Frankie. "Well, as I was say ing. Mr. Savage was so nervous and wrought up that Mr. Eiford wrote out the will then and there, and the ervant and the gardener came and witnessed It, and Mr. Elford took It way with him for sate keeping." "That does seem to knock out forgery." agreed Bobby. "I know. Tou can't have forgery when you've actually seen the man sign his name. As to the other busi nessmurder. It's going to be hard to And out anything about that now. The doctor, who was called In has died since. The man we saw laat Bight Is a new man. He's been here only about two months." "We seem to have rather an un fortunate number of deaths," said Bobby, "Why. who .else Is dead?" , "Albert More." v "Do you think they've all been put out of the way!" "That seems rather wholesale. We might gtve Albert Mere the benefit of the doubt he was seven-J-two, poor old man." BRAIN FOOD IDEA OHIOAOO (UP) The tradition that (Ish food 1 a bono to mental faculties may not be so far from the truth, according to experiments con ducted at Elgin hospital tor the In sane.

M4LA tt Utf tild et kUs All rit,u., said Frankie. "I'll al low you Natural Causes In his ease. Any luck with Rose Chudlelgh?" "Yes. After she left the Temple tons she went to the north of Eng land to a place, but she's come back and married a man ' down here whom It seems she's been walking out with for the last seventeen years. Unfortunately she's a bit of a nitwit. She doesn't seem to re member anything about anyone. Perhaps you could do something with her." "I'll have a go," said Frankie. "I'm rather good with nitwit. Where's Badger, by the way?" "Good Lord, I've forgotten all about him," said Bobby. He got up and left the room, re turning a few minutes later. "He was still asleep," he ex plained. "He's getting up now." "Well, we'd better go and aee the nitwit," aald Frankie, rising. ."And then I must buy a toothbrush and a nightgown and a sponge and a tew other necessities of civilized exist ence. 1 waa so close to Nature laat night that I didn't think about any of them. I just stripped off my outer covering and fell upon the bed." "Let's go and talk to Rose Chud lelgb." said Frankie. Rose Chudlelgh, now Mrs. Pratt, lived in a small cottage that seemed to be overflowing with china dogs and furniture. Mrs. Pratt herself waa a bovine-looking woman of am ple proportions, with Ash-like eyes and every Indication of adenoids. "You see. I've come back," said Bobby breezily. Mrs. Pratt breathed hard and looked at them both Incuriously. YOTJ were with her for aome time, weren't you?" asked Frankie. Were I which, ma'am?" ' 'With Mra. Templeton for somi . time," said Frankie, speaking slow ly and clearly. "I wouldn't aay that, ma'am. Onlj two months." 'Oh I I thought you'd been will her longer than that." "That waa Gladys, ma'am. Tb house-parlormaid. She waa then six months." 'There were two of you?" 'That's right House-parlormaid she was, and I waa cook," "You were there when Mr. Sav age died, weren't you?" "I beg your pardon, ma'am?" "You were there when Mr. Sav' age died?" . "Mr. Templeton didn't die at least 1 haven't heard so. He weni abroad." , "Not Mr. Templeton Mr, Sav age," eald Bobby. Mrs. Pratt looked at him vacantly. "The gentleman who left her all the money," said Frankie. ' - A gleam of something like In telllgence passed across Mrs. Pratt's face. , "Ob, yes ma'am the gentleman there was the Inquest on," "That's right," said Frankie, de lighted with ber success. "He used to come and stay quite often, dldn'i he?" "I couldn't say aa to that, ma'am I'd only just come, you see. Gladys would know." "But you had to witness his will didn't you?" Mrs. Pratt looked blank. "You went and saw him sign a paper, and you had to sign It too?' Again the gleam of Intelligence "Yes, ma'am. Me and Albert I'd never done such a thing before, and I didn't lltfe It. I said to Gladys. '1 don't like signing a paper, and that's a fact,' and Gladya she said It must be all right becauae Mr. El ford waa there and be waa a very nice gentleman as well as being a lawyer." "What happened exactly?" asked Bobby. . "1 beg your pardon, air?" "Who called you to sign youi name?" asked Frankie. 'The mistress, sir. She came Into the kitchen and aald would 1 go out side and call Albert and would we both come up to the best bedroom (which she'd moved out of for Mr. the gentleman the night before) and there was the gentleman sitting up In bed he'd come back from London and gone stralgbt to bed- and a very Ill-looking gentleman be was. I hadn't seen him before, but he looked something ghastly. And Mr. Elford was there too. and he poke very nice and said there waa nothing to be afraid of and I was to sign my name where the gentle man bad signed hla. and 1 did and put 'cook' after it and the address. And Albert did the same, tCetritH mt-Jl-M. Afthe Ct'Ulie) Tomorrow Bobby finds a trace t tvans. 13 months showed that those on the diet had gained the equivalent of U 14 months of mental age, whore non-diet firs gained only 341 months of mental age.
