Newspaper Page TextPAGE FOUR MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1941 gpMADE UP by Kelley Chapter 31 Mora About The Shot THE can sped by below the window, even p a c e d and quiet, like model! In an advertis ing display. Across the street, the doorman at the Esquador came out onto the sidewalk and blew his whistle. A cruising taxi rolled to a atop before him, picked up ' its passenger and rolled away. . (There was no lound in my apart ment, and the night seemed to press down on the city outside and smother Its noises to a low rum ' ble. It might have been an hour er , lust a few minutes ago that Steve had left the room. I wasn't aware of time or of people or of any- ' thing but the numb feeling that seepea inrougn my ooay ana me sharp ache in my head. There was a little icy ridge " around the frame of the window and I scratched it with my nail and it shredded and fell off. Be hind me, pacing the floor, Jeff spoke musingly. "You've learned that trick from CaroL That trick of draping your self in the window. Thais how ahe was sitting this afternoon be fore . . ." "Jeff, let's not talk. Not yet" We lapsed into silence again and I closed my eyes. I tried to think things out. to think what I should say to Carol, how I would answer what she said to me. My mind closed on me and it was use less. "Haila! Jeff's voice wasn't musing now. It was urgent and excited. I swung around to face him, almost frightened. "Hails, listen. This afternoon . , . this afternoon at the party when that shot came through the window 1" "Yes?" "Tell me everything that hap pened after we got here." "But why?" "Please! His hands were work ing nervously together. "We got htre a little after one. Think, Hails, try to remember. What did we do? what did we do exactly?" "We talked to Carol for a few minutes," I said. My mind went struggling back mechanically over the afternoon. "And then Clint Bowers came with his flowers and Carol went into the kitchen. Is that hat you mean?" "Yes. Yes, go on." "Then, in a moment, she came back with the bottle and some glasses. You opened the cham pagne and we drank." "Where were we then, can you remember, Haila? Where were we sitting, you and I? And what was Carol doing and where was Clint Bowers?" Suddenly the picture flashed before me, clearly, like a sharp bright etching. "You and I sat there on the couch, your feet were on the coffee table and I was busy knocking them off. Clint was in the big armchair in the far corner and the champagne was on the ta ble right beside him. Carol was here where I am, in the window (eat I remember thinking how pretty the light looked in her hair. "And then?" Jeff was a moving blur, pacing up and down be fore me. "Carol told us she was going to marry Steve. She said it was wrong of her, it wasn't fair to Steve. But she was going to marry him anyway. I thought how brave and honest she was. And then we congratulated her and said it . . . It was wonderful. And Clint spoke then, I think. He suggested that we have another drink. He said, 'Carol, you're first,' or something like that and she went over to him. She had her glass in her hand. And when she got almost to him, the shot came." Hysteria J EFT (topped in front of me. "Are you sure. Haila? Is that it? Are you sure it happened just like that?" , "Yes." "So am I" He walked aimlessly around the room, kicking up the .corners of the rugs, smoothing them down again, lie lit a ciga rette, took one deep drrg and smudged it out He wheeled back at me. "Look, Haila. One more thing. I want you to think back again, hard. And pretty far. Do you remember the night Green Apples opened and I waited for you outside your dressing room? Eve North and Philip Ashley were fighting. Remember?" "Yes, of course I remember." "We could hear them through the walls. Tell me everything they (aid, everything you heard "Oh, Jeff, pleasel I'm a frazzle. I'm hsiilr4 " "I want you to reconstruct for me, inai s bil "My mind won't function any awe. It won't Heconstruct your- "Halla, please . , ." "Oh. all right Philip accused Eve of stealing a scene from him. He was mad because during his big speech Eve . , ." "When did that big speech come?" "Listen: if I'm going to recon struct, I'm going to reconstruct in my own wav." "Go ahead." "I'm too tired to change my style." Sen. Holman to Speak Portland, Sept. 1. (P) U. 8. Senator Rufus Holman will address an America First com mittee meeting here Friday night Chairman Dellmore Lea Bard said today. Cm Hall Tnouiw want ads.

Shall I hit you in the face?" "Will it hurt?" "I'll say. But it'll atop your hys teria." "Can I slap you back?" I start ed to giggle. I couldn't help it Jeff caught me on the cheek with his open palm. I rocked, then things went red. When I pulled myself together Jeff was sitting on tha floor groaning. I knelt beside him. "Jeff, what's wrong? Jeff, talk to me!" "You louse! You hit ma In tha belly!" "Oh, I'm so sorryl" "Yeah." Jeff was up. Ha prac ticed breathing again. "Shall I get you a cup of tea?" "No. thanks. And let that be a lesson to you. Hails. Don't get hystericsl around me. Now, where were we?" "You were on the floor." "C'mon, Eve and Philip. His big speech. Where is it in the play? "Almost at the end of tha third act Eve was supposed to be i: ranging flowers on the dining ta ble while he talked. She said that there weren't any flowers on the table, that either Tommy or Phoebe Thompson was to blame for forgetting them. She said she had to do something while ha droned along and Ashley said sha needn't have rattled the complete set of silver, the glasses and tha plates. Just upsetting the table would have been more effective. Ashley heavy sarcasm. There, that's it That's what they were fighting about and what differ ence does it make?" "Were the flowers there?" "No, I don't think so, I guess Eve was right." . In Tha Big JEFF stopped his pacing and with his back toward ma looked silently at Carol's door. Over his shoulder I could see him waving out a match and splitting it with his thumb naiL When he turned he was puffing furiously at a half lit cigarette. "That's just how It happened. Isn't it Haila? You're sura of that?" "Of course." He thumped his hand on my back. "Sweetheart let's get mar ried. I have just put the Colony Murder Case in the bsgl" I stared at him to sea It this was a joke and I knew it wasn't The eagerness in his voice and eyes was genuine. Before I could catch enough breath to speak ha was sliding into hisovetcoat mov ing toward the door. I rushed af ter him. "Jeff, you knowl You've found out who's been trying to kill Carol!" He grinned at me. "Yes, I know.'r "Was It Ashley? Is Philip Ash ley the murderer after all?" "I can't tell you yet" ' "Tommy? Tommy . , . Oh, Jeff, not Steve!" "Don't try to guess, Haila." "Jeff, you've got to tell me!" His face went grave and both hands clamped my shoulders. "Don't ask me. Haila. I don't want you to know. It's .... dangerous. Believe me. Haila But you . . . then It s danger ous for you? Jeff, you've got to ten ine ponce. "Not yet." I said furiously: "Oh. you don't know. You've no more Idea than I have. How could you? Nothing's happened to show you." "You just told me who the mur derer is." "I? I told you!" He snatched his hat and gave me a preoccupied kiss on the cheek. I caught him as he reached the door. "Jeff, where are you going?" "Out and about dear, out and about." "What are you going to do?" "I can't tell you that But IH tell you what I'm not going to da Sleep. Not a wink. I'll call you in the morning. I'll keep in constant touch with you. G'night" I stood before him in the door way, blocking his exit Sudden ly, I couldn't bear his leaving, couldn't face the thought of a night in that place with no one but Carol. I felt my face go white, heard myself gulp as I spoke. "Jeff, don't leave me. Please, don't go." He held my hand tight "What is It. Haila?" "Jeff. I'm frightened, really frightened. I'm afraid for vou. I'm afraid for myself, to stay here along with . . . with Carol. When I thought she was . . . before 1 knew about her. I didn't mind. It seemed worth while then and I could be brave. But now, now I'm scared. I don't want to I'sv here with her. If someone tried now . . to hurt her. I . . ." "Nobody's going to hurt CsroL Nobody's even going to try." "But . . ." "llsila. IT tell you this. Keep It under vour hat We've been on the greatest wild goose che that ever was perpetrated Nobody ever tried to kill Carol. Her life's never been in danger for one minute."
