Chapter 10 Another Myatery ASEY felt sure Pam must have " hidden the ambergris in the cellar. It was lucky Tim had kept the police from moving the coal. "They thought," Tim went on, "she was under the briquets. I tried to point out the impossibility of anyone's hiding in a coal bin, and then pulling the coal over 'em, but they took a lot of convincing. This is my first actual contact with the fiolice, you know, and it amazes me o find that they think the way they do in movies and books. "Painl" He groped for the switch and flicked on the light Pam was not on the bed Pam was not therel Asey Jerked at the closet door. A strong odor of mothballs filled the room. Inside, as he had left them, were his old suits, forlorn looking in their cloth coverings. Pam was not in the cupboard under the eaves. The window screens were firmly hooked in place. There was no connection with any other room. Asey was peering under the bed when Tim Carr bounded in. His white linen suit was streaked with grass stains, caused when Emma Goldman s leash had tripped him and sent him sprawl ing. "What's the matter?" he de manded breathlessly. "That," Asey said briefly, "is what I'd like to know. She's gone." "She who? Say, did you have Pam Frye here all the time?" "Yup," Asey said. "Come on. We'll do some huntin' " Hastily he looked through the house. Then, equipped with flash lights, he and Timothy set out to explore outside. I know this place," Asey said after half an hour's frantic search ing. "1 know itl There's no road except the one out front. No one can come or go without using that road, right where we was. It'd take an army to cart thai girl oli against her wNII And how'd any one get in? How'd they get out? Them screens was In place. Thai door was locked. I never heard ol a human bein' evaporatin' into thin air, but she hasl She certainly has!" "But they found," Asey said, "no trace of Pam?" "No. Where is she"?" Mrs. Carr asked. "Where can she be? And what can we do for her? And poor old Mr. Frye we've got to do something, for his sake. Did you ask him about charges, Tim? My dear boy. what have you been do ing in there? Mr. Mayo, how much do you charge for solving things? Because if you have a special rate for widows and orphans, Tim and I would like you to clear Pam Frye. You will, won't you?" she added briskly, as though the whole mat ter were settled. "I don't do things for prices," Asey said, "an' why are you two so set on helpin'? You never met the Fryes till you landed here, did you?" "No," Mrs. Carr said, "but we like Pam, and her father and I feel a sort of sympathy with them. And to be brutally frank, I am glad that Marina Lome finally met up with someone who gave her what she richly deserved. Even if I thought Pam killed her, I should still ask you to prove she didn't. And proving that she didn't won't bo hard." Asey grinned. "How so?" "Why, it's Jack Lome, of course. Aaron Frye told us he'd been over there today, trying to borrow money Mnnna was in some sort of scrape. Frye refused, and 1 sup pose everyone else refused, and In desperation, Jack Lome killed her. I can't see why he didn't do it long before. He is a what's that expression, Tim? A summer guy?" "A fall guy," Tim snid gravelv "And he1 left handed" "He isl" Asey said. "Are you sure about that?" "Timmy." Mrs. Carr said plain tively, "what did you talk about so long in there in the house? Didn't you lell him anything at all? Jack Lome paints with his left hand, but hes right handed in every thing else. He Mr. Mayo, this seems rather a persona' question, but is there anyone upstairs in your house? I can see a light and it's acting so queerly. going off and on." Hunting IN ONE motion, Asey tivisted the ' 1 key and swung open the door of ' ma upstairs bedroom. . . "Site's gone!" Mrs. Carr and Em.na joined the hunt. It was Emma, shying and hissing at something that fluttered in the underbrush, who found. the only trace of Pam. 'In Danger' "TIER handkerchief," Asey said, n picking it up. "Least, it's mine. One I tossed on the pile of clothes I give her tonight. It's the last clean one of that batch of monogrammed handkerchiefs." "What does it sll mean?" Mrs. Carr demanded. "Did someone take her away? Did sht lust go?" Asey shrugged. "Presumably she was in that bedroom, takin' a nap. That's what her no'," said. 1 locked her in, because it seemed to me I'd been awful careless. II she was in the room, how'd she get out? If she wasn't, where'd she go, and what'd she leave that note for? It don't seem possible she'd go rompin' off without tellin' me she knows perfectly well thai she's in danger. "But the police don't know she's here." Timothy said. "They're all over Quanomct, combing and scouring vicinities." "The 'ianger," Asey said, "ain'l from the police. She must havi understood we didn t talk abou' It, but I thought she knew. I know she knew. And tha'. note!" "Gran," Tim said, "have you got that receipt she gave you for the board money? She wrote it out, all very formally. You might compare the writing on tin receipt with that on the note. Perhaps someone else wrote the note." Mrs. Carr finally produced the re ceipt from the depths of her capa cious pocKemooK. Asey marveled, as he invariably did, at the amount of miscellaneous objects that a woman could Dack into a hanribas of given dimensions. Mrs. Carr's was unusual only In that It con tained besides the usual truck a quantity of puppy biscuit and three chewed catnip mice. "Emma's." she explained. "We always carry cans of evaporated milk, and paper cups in the car foi her. too." "Gran." Timothy said, "give hin the receipt." "Here you are." Mrs. Carr passef it to Asey. "Now, whores tin note?" Indoors, in the living room. the compared the handwriting. Vri4r. I9!t. 1m fawi Tllftl What has hanntnrd to Pam? Can. tinned tomorrow.

Inc. Trl -State Congressman. Matthew Lyon began bis political career In the Vermont state legisla ture, to which he was elected ID times tn all. Then, strange as It seems, Lyon t out to represent. In succession, threo different states In the U, S. congress at Washington! In 1707 Lyon was elected Vermont's representative. He Immediately be came the center of attack by the Fed eralists and was viciously lampooned along with Jackson and Jefferson In the Federalist press. He was a bitter foe and outspoken critic of President Adams. This opposition culminated In a four-months' Jail sentence for him In October, 1798, when the was sentenced for violating the federal sedition act with certain libelous statements In a letter directed against Adams. Strange as It seems, whllo still In Jail In Vergennes, Vermont, Lyon was re-elected to congress by an over whelming majority, where he con tinued to serve Vermont until 1801 In that year Lyon moved to Ken tucky, representing that state In the U. S. congress from 1803 through 1811. He was then appointed a factor of the Indian Territory In Arkansas .ind moved to that state. Arkansas saw fit to elect Lyon to congress also, but he died before taking over the office. Slaves and Slavs. United by a common tongue an the largest group of people tn Europe are the Slavs, comprised mainly of the Russians1, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks and the Bulgarians and Yugoslavs. Strange as It seems, their national name Is derived from the word slava, meaning glory, but It baa also given rise to our modern word, slave. "Slave" first came into general usage to denote a man of the Sla vonic race captured and made a bond man to the Germans. In the state of captives or subjects they overspread eastern Europe, according to the his torian Gibbon, and the national hp pelatlon of the Slaves has been de graded by chance or malice from the signification of glory to that of servi tude.
