"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

Police Chief Clatou Mc
Credle said today that all bi

censed for 1942. but that appli

The chief requested bicycle
owners not to apply for their

arrive some time around the
first of the year.

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'"

BARKER'S BITE
On the morning of October 27, 1918, Major W. G. Barker wa up in hi stubby Snip
and engaged a German two-seater at 21.000 feet, near Valenciennes, France. Almost at
once he was attacked by another, and within tha next few hectic momenta was menaced
by at least 50 others! Faint from the blood' loss of three wounds, he managed to regain hi
line and, skimming low, cracked up in flames. He lived and afterward was one of the
first to predict that Britain's bulwark would om day be a wall of planes. He was killed
ia the crash of a commercial airliner in Canada in 1930.
