Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1941. by Phoebe Atwood Taylor Chapter IJ . Cone Like The Wind "CHE'S bick." Rankin laid, O hut she iin't doinl anythlnal What's she waiting for? Why j -l . i ul in" QUVSIl I 1I1B gel BlUHg WliU ... "Give her time." "I don't think she'f golnf to do . , : N n LI : J anyimng more, nanam i-iu im patiently. "Look, Mayo, I think she's stuck. Her car'i In the garage. There." Rankin pointed to a building beyond the turn table. She'f got to get that body down from the tun deck, get her fell down, get her car, get the body into it" Hit patience was practically exhausted by the time Hanson reached them via hit circuitous route. "Hi," Asey said. "Where's your ear?" "Parked down the road bit Jennie seemed to think that was what I ought to do. Asey, Jennie told me all about this, but I don t understand itl And when ever I asked her to explain any thing. I couldn't understand it s well as 1 hadn't oelorei wnai s happened here?" ''We're endeavorin'," Asey said, "to find out. Hanson, peek up on the roof no, this way. By the sun deck. See the lady?" "What she doing?" "Lady has a body." Asey said. She's now in the process of orooain ney, come oacs nerei Hold on, Hanson, We ain't rushin' in on her. We're going to let her brood an' see what she does with it. You go get your car an' ease it up across from the drive, an' be ready to follow her In case she sets to the point of drivln off. We're going to wait here an' watch for developments, an' if they don't develop pretty soon, we'll Join up in a nit of eon fxontinV "But, Asey," Hanson began. "Poo alone an' eet the ear." "But look here?' Hanson said olaintivelv. "I onlv want to know one thing, Aseyl Is all that stuff Jennie told me true? "Most probably," Asey said. "Maybe she's done a little em bellishin', but she must've stuck pretty close to facts. If she'd started wonderin', you wouldn't be here now. Say, Where's that car goin'?" "What car?" Hanson returned. "I don't hear any car." . "See them headlights, . over yonder?" Asey pointed to the left beyond the kitchen ell. - "Service drive," Rankin said. "It swings along over there." "How'n time did I miss that?" Asey asked, and at once an swered his own question. That rain the first time, I guess, an' I cut In the other side of it the next time. I was so busy eom putin' the area of them elli I suppose it's no wonder I missed a driveway." "Well, I didn't," Hanson said. "It was full of puddles up to my knees" He broke off as Asey grabbed his arm. , "Heyl We got to beat ft on the double-quick! Hustle up!" "What for? She hasn't left that roof, has she? I can see her." "But she just waved I Now she's goin' down! Hustle. Hanson! Get fioin'l Whoever come In that ear s going to help herl She waved, I tell youl Come on!" "Can I come too?" Rankin de manded. "Hustle!" Mad Chase tV'ITH Asey leading the three ' of them cut back through the woods, circled wide around the Inn, and reached Hanson's police car a split second after a sedan cut out of the service drive, "I'll drive." Asey said, and started oil with part of Hanson and most of Jonathan Rankin clinging perilously to the running board. Hanson took It as matter of Course. He had driven with Asey loo many times before in Asey s own low-slung Porter roadster and when Asey was really in a hurry to be perturbed about a slidht catapulting. But Rankin was frankly shaken by the experience, and he said so, as soon as ha iga!d sufficient breath. "Do you." he Inquired ddly, "always start off like that?" "Only." Asey told him. "when the car I'm chasin' has the choice of two main roads an' fifty mil lion little ones that's funny, Hanson. They're goin' down the Cape. They're takin' the Pochet turn." "How do you know? I cant even see the car!" Rankin com plained. "And what made you Euess that Elissa might be hav ig help?" "Wa-el." Asey said, "like you pointed out, she was kind of stuck. An' she seemed to be waitin'. An' I seen her make a kind of surreptitious phone call, usin' the back door of that llvin room phone booth, so I put two t an' two together an' wondered If she wasn't just possibly waitin' fnr some help from the person she calied. Hanson, this is fishy." Hanson and Rankin both in stantly demanded to know why. "Because." Asey said, "they're coin' too blessed fast. We're a lap behind 'em an' look at our speed ometer needle." "I'm trying not to." Rankin said. "And what's so fishy, as vou term It, about their haste? Aher HOLIDAY SHORTENED London, Dec. 1. (") The treasury announced today that banks In Scotland, England, Domestic Harris Type Tweed Tope oars that are waterproofed 523.CO tee them at Store ft Men J alL they have I body to dispose of, and they want to dispose of it with all possible speed and ce lerity, don't they?" "If you had a body to dispose of, an' if you possessed just a quarter of a teaspoonful of com mon sense, would you drive like a fool an' lay yourself open to accidents, an' village cops' speed traps, not to mention the fellows Hanson plants around these roads just to haul in speeders?" Asey returned. "I'm sure I wouldn't. I'd drive thirty-five miles an hour on the right-hand side of the road, blow my horn pretty at all Inter sections, an' try to seem like somebody on their way home from Prayer Meetin'. This gets fishier sn' fishier, Hanson. They've taken the turn into Pochet vil lage." Rankin took off his shell rimmed glasses, wiped them as well ss he could in his cramped position next the door, put the glasses back on, and shook his ead. "'I'm still damned If I can see any car at all!" he said. Whv. it's right there!" Hanson said. "Right on let's see. That'd be the Old Mill road, wouldn't It, Asey?" "Well, yes." Asey said. "Only kind of a little mi(e more to the leri, on me cui-mrougn mat runs past the ball park." "A little mite more to the left, indeed!" Rankin said sarcastical ly. "You mean a good half mile to the leftl Hanson, you can't sea that car any more than I can, and you know it! And if you really know. Mayo, and if you really are following It, why don't you catch up with it and grab them for speeding, and put an end to this er well, I suppose you could call it just a ride, but it seems like such an awfully scant and inadequate little word! If this is merely a ride, then I've been traveling on gocarts all these yesrs!" Asey chuckled. Lights In Pochet "DEAR up," he said. "I'm goin' to see this thing through to the bitter end. Maybe you better hold on tight, Mr. Rankin. I'm goin to creep up on em a mite. I want to know what they're up to in the village. CreeDl Rankin said. "Creeol rm the one who's creeping! I'm a creeping piece of eon; flesh! That speedometer needle won't go any farther!" When It did. Rankin took off his glssses, folded them, and tucked them away in the pocket of his brown tweed coat. Hey. I can see the car nowl Look!" Hanson pointed. "My eyes, Rankin told him, 'are closed. Tell me when we've landed." Hanson laughed. To me." Rankin said. "It all seems perilously like Dick Tracy." "it is a dick Tracy nnlsh. sll right. Mr. say, I don't know youi name!" "Meet Mr. Rankin," Asey said, "Mr. Rankin's a genealogist, Han son." "Oh." Hanson said, snd added. after a pause, "Do things with rocks, eh?" 'No. I do things with families" Rankin said with a trace nl laughter In his voice. "People with nothing better to do pay me to track down their family trees. And if I come to a violent end on this little ride, as I fully ex pect to. mere are at least tnree fat dowagers who'll cry them selves to sleep because I never finished their ancestral charts look. We must be there, aren't we?" 'Uh-huh. You can open your eyes now," Asey said, "I'm parkin'." rtankin looked around Pochet i main street. "Where's Elissa?" "Parked bv the station. I drove past 'em. Kind of gay here to night, ain't it?" "I,ay7 Its almost abandoned! What's the reason for all this reckless illumination?" Rankin Indicated the brightly lighted stores in front of them. "Stores open, crowds milling around what's the event? Is there a car nival in town, or is It bank night?" Tomorrow's a half holiday In these part." Asey told him. "Seventeenth of June. May even be a bonfire later, if the boys get ambitious, an' thinga ain't too wet to Burn. They ' "See here, Rankin Interrupted, 'now that you've caught ud with them, aren't you going to see what they're doing "1m watchin right now. Asev Indicated the rear-view mirror. "Mrs. Hingham's just gone into Fallback's Hardware Store." 'Hardware? R.inkin sounded Incredulous. "Hardware? Mavo, you've made a mistake, that's all You pirked up some other cat and followed that! Missa Hing ham's been a number of places, but she never entered a hardware store in all her life! If you asked me to name three places Elisss would never go. I should un hesitatingly say three hardwari stores? What in the name of all that's holy would Elissa be doing in a naraware storey "Time will tell." Aser said "Fishback's is where she went' Rankin said that he didn't be lieve it, and that Elissa Hin-harr didn't know what hardware was Te ke eeatiaaee' Wales and northern Ireland would take only one day instead of the usual two-day Christmas holiday this year.
