OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1941. by Phoebe Atwood Taylor Chanter S3 Mist Olive's HCniiV "THERE'S writing on th bick of the picture," Mrs. Thorn (aid. "See, it lays, Henry with Lucky and Juanita.' It ii peculiar, now you apeak of it I thought he looked like a minister, but I never connected him with that exhibition. He mint have been a most unusual man, that Ferdi nand." "That who?" Asey stared at ber. "Ferdinand." "Who in time was he?" "He was the photographer In well, it would be Quisset now. but In those days it was Pochet. Just inmK, it never occurred to me when Ann showed me this, but it is one of Ferdinand's pictures? Those jardiniere of grass, and that sDiked iron railing are in every family picture for miles around. Ferdinand must have taken pictures of half the Cape. And what amazes me," Mn. Thome added, "isn't Just the way his pictures keDt they never faded out white, like some but the way people Kept his pictures. I suppose that's why, though. They kept, and so people kept them." "Looky here." Asey said. "Ann Joyce wasn't a Cape Codder, was sne7 was ner ioiki tap loa ders?" "Her folks are dead," Mrs. Thome said. "She's an orphan. I don't think she has any family at all, except this cousin on her mother's side who died. And I'm sure she told me she was born in New York state. She lives in New York now. Of course. Cape Codders spread out, but people always know if they do come from the Cape are you going to tnlf that nintur urith unV "Uh-huh. I wonder," Asey said, "where are those pictures now that Mr. Philpotts had in his ex hibition?" "Why, he Just borrowed them from people! Mrs. Thome said. "I suppose he Rave them back afterwards is this important, this picture? Is it a clew?" "I don't know," Asey told her honestly, "if it's r clew, or Just a sort of puzzle. If this feller with the whiskers really was a min ister, then most likely this pic ture don't mean muck. You know, whenever ministers left a church, they used to give everybody a picture of themselves we got a raft of ministers at home in al bums. On the other hand, it's sort of an odd coincidence to have this picture turnin' up here now, considering Huh. Old the girl mention any new play she wanted to be In?" "No, she didn't say much about her work. But she's seemed kind of excited these last couple of days." Mrs. Thorne said. ''1 told those troopers so. And I told them that she hadn't any fights or quarrels with anyone, nor any enemy in the world. She was a nice girll As nice a girl" "Uh.huh. Mrs. Hlngham." Asey said hurriedly before Mrs. Thorn had a chance to launch into any recital of Ann'a sterling virtues, "she told me as much just a little while ago. I'm goin' along now, but if you remember anythin' about this picture, like who Old Whiskers is, I wish you'd con trive to let me know." "Angle Harris's mother could probably tell you. She' nlnety nve," Mrs. Thorne said, "and re members everything. Particularly about ministers. She told Mr. PhilootU lota of things." "Thanks," Asey said. "I think Fll look into her tomorrow." Mrs. Clutterfleld Thinks HE returned to the roadster, where Mrs. Clutterfleld greet, ed him with an arch salute. "Where to, air?" she asked brightly. Asey frowned. Tm torn," he aid. "I got this yen to tear a nlnety-flve-year-old woman out of her bed at what time is it. quarter to two? An" at the same time I want to see this Bram Rcid, an' I want to see Horace. Huh, I guess I better see him first. Back to the Inn, please. Tell me. you happen to know Horace's last name?" "His lost name?" Like everyone else, Mrs. Clutterfleld seemed dumfounded at the suggestion that Horace might possess a last name "Why, Hingham, of course! Oh. no, it couldn't be Hingham, could it? Isn't that strange, I can't remember!" "Neither ran anyone else," Asey said. "What's Horace like, that Keople remember only halt of im?" "Why. you saw him." Mrs. Clutterfleld said. "He must have passed by vou when you went into the Theater to see Mrs. Hingham. He had on short and a blszer " "What? Short an' blazer? That fellow! If i was drivin'," Asev said, "we'd be strugglln' in a ditch this instant! You mean, that blonde youth? Him! He couldn't have been more than twenty!" "He was twenty-six last month. He's a nice boy, but always so tired looking, and always want ing a quarter from someone to BICYCLE LICENSE AWING. Police Chief Clatou Mc Credle said today that all bi cycles In the city must be li censed for 1942. but that appli cations wouldn't be received until the plates anived. The chief requested bicycle owners not to apply for their licenses until it was announced the plate were on hand. The plate, he said, are expected to arrive some time around the first of the year.

He often borrows money from Alfred really, I've often thought that if Mrs. Hingham were as fond of Horace as she seems, she should really make him a small allow ance. Just so he would have a little pocket money. Mr. Mayo." "Uh-huh." Asey said. "Good driver waich the road." "Mr. Mayo," Mrs. Clutterfleld spoke to the windshield wiper, "of course I can't ever solve those little daily mystery cartoons but, d'you know, a little bird ha just told me where Miss Olive went!" "Where?" "You know," Mr. Clutterfleld said coyly. "1 think Miss Olive has a crush on Bram Reidt I do. I mean it! She doesn't often talk to people, but last week she an I were both sitting out on the lawn Just after Bram had left with Horace, and I said wasn't he still marvelous looking And d'you know what? She unbent! Actually" "The road," Asey said, "Dont get so worked up that you for get the road, now!" "I'm sorry! But she confessed she'd seen everyone of Bram Reld' pictures, and some of them four or five times! I gathered she was dying to meet him and talk with him, but she was too shy just to walk up and speak to him. She's awfully shy, really. And when Freddy said tonight she was talking to that police lieu tenant and giving him a descrip tion of what Miss Olive wa wearing this afternoon when she said Miss Olive wore a gray hat with a feather, I almost spoke up then." "In short where do you think Miss Olive went tonight?" The Trail T the White Horse Grill. You see, while we were talking about Bram Rcid, she and I. I suggested that if she ever wanted to see him, she had only to go to the White Horse Grill Horace told me Bram Reld always has dinner there. Now, Mr. Mayo, I can't even do those little mystery cartoons, but I've been wondering if maybe it couldn't be some thing as simple as that? She Just went to see Bram Reid!" "You suggestin she eloped with htm after dinner?" Asey inquired dryly. No. Indeed! Only, because she was wearing that new hat. 1 de cided she must be going some where special. You don't," Mrs. Clutterfleld pointed out, "wear new hat if it looks as stormy out as it began to when she left!" "I don't know," Asey said lowly, "why your guess as to what Miss Olive done ain't as good as mine, or anybody else's, whereabout In Sketlcket Is this White Horse place? I don't seem to remember anythin' of that name." "It used to be the Casa Va lencia." Mrs. Clutterfleld said, "until about a month ago. Then it got all done over and became the White Horse Grill" "Whoa!" Asey said. "That' on the road to Provincetownl I won der, now! I wonder if golly, I'm torn! I ought to get back to th Inn, but If Jennie an' I seen th real Miss Olive, that's the way She was headin' from the four cor ners. I wonder if the place' open all night,' like the Valencia used to btV' "I think so. Shall we go there? I'm dying," Mrs. Clutterfleld said, "to try the new hlghwayl W Just simply ought to float!" She floated at such a pace that Asev cautioned her gently. "The cops don't often stop this car, but uh it's still foggy. Ease her off a bit." "To think," Mrs. Clutterfleld said, "that Alfred always consid ered forty-flve goiajg fast! Mr. Mayo, they're still open at th White Horse. See the lights?" "Pull in," Asey said. "I'll go in an' ask. Never any harm in askln'." He didn't think she noticed that he removed the ignition key as he stepped out of the car, but she commented on the fact in a hurt voice as he closed the door. "You don't trust me. Mr. Msyo!" "No. ma'am," Asey said. "Not on a sixlane highway! 1 probably won't be two shakes in here" But a half hour passed before he emerged, and his face, as h got into the roadster, was a study, "Whatever' the matter, Mr. Mayo?" Mrs. Clutterfleld said. "You look just the way 1 fee when I try to solve the daily mys tery cartoon. Was she there?" "Uh-huh. she was. Mrs. Clutter, field, I wish you'd explain some thin' to me. Why Is it that each additional thing 1 And out, that ought by right to make things that much easier, only balls things up all the more?" "Exactly!" Mr. Clutterfleld nodded her head enthusiastically. That's exactly the way I feel about the daily mystery cartoon! She went to see Bram Reld, didn't she?" "Uh-huh. Horace was waitln for her. They talked together a minute an' then sat down. Horace got up an' made a phone call. While he was phonin', Bram Reld come. The three of 'em had dinner together, an'" Ta at eentlnaeA DRINKS LIMITED San Francisco, Dec. 26 V Lluet. General J. L.
