PAT5ESTX . MEDFORD MATE TRTBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1941- SMATO?. IID TO TCIIT.P by Kelley ' Chapter 37 Murder b Murder' CHE didn't know the wu giv ing up her chance," Jeff Mid. "And It leemi this iin't luit any old ring. It'i been In her family tor five generation! and it had become a legend. The Mc Donald who wat In possession of it never atepped on the atage without wearing it And the couldn't break that family tradi tion. She hadn't known of couth that ihe wai going to play, ao the ring wu in her room, locked up. She knew ahe'd have time to get it and be back to the theater Before the curtain. And ihe was. but when ehe did get back, Carol waa there." "But why didn't ahe tell Tommy why ahe waa going?" "She knew lie wouldn't have let her go. She had to ineak out" For the moment I let my mind drift back over those last five days. "Jeff, it'a been horrible." "Sure. Murder isn't a dancing thing. It isn't a waits by Strauss. Murder is murder." Jeff had been staring out the window when a moment Later he said, "Haila, are you wondering what has happened to Carol, and what is going to happen to her?" "Yes, I do think about her. And worry." "Well, you needn't worry any more. Look." At the curb girl In a dark blue auit was standing beside a man. Her face waa tilted up to his, one copper-colored curl es caping from the narrow brimmed hat ahe wore. There was a look of childlike wonder in her eyes aa she listened to him talk. And Vincent Parker was . loving it We watched him call cab and help her into it Jeff grinned. "Well, Parker found Lee Gray. And he'll have both Carol Blanton and Lee Gray in the same show. For the price of one salary! It'll be terrific! Pack 'em inl They'll flock cleat from Jersey! Where is Jersey Haila?" I said, "Jeff, could we have another drink? "Why not? After all, I'm on my vacation." "Jeff," I said, ao suddenly It surprised me, "let's use the last week of your vacation for a honeymoon!" "You mean get married?" "It doesn't count unless you're married." "Sure, Til get married if you will! Why not? I said we would I wnen i soivea ints case. And i am soive u. Despite wnat Peterson says. Sure we'll get married, just like people! I can afford it now on account of the reward. ..." He groaned. "What'e wrong, darling?" "I caught the wrong guy!" "You- mean Clint didn't mur der ..." "No. I don't mean that I mean he's the one who hired me! And I proved he committed' the mur der! I bit the hand that waa go ing to feed us." "We'll get married anyway." "Okay, out we won't eat Look, Haila, Bowera is a gentleman. Maybe he'll pay me.- He's got to admit I did a good job." "Clint Bowers isn't a gentle man! I used to think so but not any more! Oh, I could forgive him for murder. I could forgive him for that! But for striking a lady, especially when the lady was me . . ." "You're all wrong, Haila, Bow era didn't touch you." "Oh. he didn't!" "No, he didn't lay a finger on you." "He knocked me out!" "No, Haila, what happened to you is something that I've been afraid would happen to you ever since you , started being an actress. "And what would thet be?" ' "You got hit on the head with a .theater seat." The End ACROSt L Kind of b.tJ f. Rst II. Cotton clot 14. Prevent 15. Dw.lt li. Or of th Invwntori of photography IT.
