OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1941. by Phoebe Atwood Taylor Chapter S Another CorpM "TTORACE kepi watchin' the door," A icy laid, "an' after gulpin' down about half hit din ner, he went out to hii ear an' drove away. Miss Olive an' Brim Reid finished their meals, an' then she made off in her car, toward Provincetown, an' Bram Held made a phone call, an' then he went off In his car toward Quis set!" "I think I see what you mean Mrs. Clutterfield said. "My, my. it's rather provoking. Isn't it?" "That sort of sums it up," Asey Mrs. Clutterfield clucked her tongue and said she personally felt this whole affair was harder. much harder, than any mystery cartoon she'd ever seen. "I still don't see why Horace was here," she added, "ft appears as if they had a date, doesn t itT What do you make of that, Mr. Mavo?" This is all SDeculatln'." Asey said, "but 1 think that Ann Joyce wanted the middle-aged part in the play Mrs. Hingham told me about, imow, Mrs. ntngnam saia that Horace an' Bram Reid had been arguin', presumably about the castm' of that part If Bram Reid wanted Ann to have it, there wouldn't hardly be no argument So you can fiueer that he didn't think she could do it an' Horace thought she could. See?" "Not quite," Mrs. Clutterfield said. "But do go on, Mr. Mayol This is fascinating, listening to you! I feel like Dr. Watson!" Aey swallowed. "Wal-el, Doc." ne said, "s'pose Horace asks Miss Olive to dinner to meet Bram Reid. I wonder, now, if that wouldn't be how It happened that Ann got Miss Olive's clothes? They ask her to dinner to meet Bram on one hand, an' then in the next breath, they beg her to lend Ann an outfit of her clothes uno, im dumb! I m gettin' old an' feeble, Mrs. Clut terfield! I Just begin to catch on! Miss Oilve was goin' to help, see? Get it?" "No, but do go on! It's fright fully exciting! How could Miss Olive help? Not that she wouldn't Srobably have been terribly irilled to!" "Sure, that's itt Bram 9:ld an' the Theater an' all is out of her line. She'd jump at the chance of helpin'l Look, Horace an' Miss Olive an' Bram Reid are to sit down an' have their dinner. Long bout dessert, say. Miss Olive is to skip out to powder her nose " "She doesn't use any make-up, ever!" "Wa-el, she's to skip out An' Ann Joyce, dressed like her, is to come back. Now d'you see how that would work out? If Bram Reid didn't catch on right away an' with all them rose-shaded lights in there, I think he'd have been fooled for a few minutes then Ann had him. see? That ex- Klains why Horace phoned I bet e was the one who called an' asked for mess beetle! That's why he was so nervous an' worried! Ann never showed up, an' he went off to try an" locate her!" "Where," Mrs. Clutterfield In quired, "is Miss Olive now?" Fnrloas Doctor "AT LEAST we made some prog- ress." he said. "We know she headed toward Provincetown around seven-thirty. Mrs. Clut terfield, we'll go back to the Inn now. I still got this yen to chat with Angie Harris's aged mother, an' I want to see Bram Reid. But I bet you he don't know a thing about this plan! I bet nobody let on, when Ann didn't come. An' I bet you Horace knows lots golly to think I had that child by the arm an' let him go! Back to the Inn, Mrs. Clutterfield, an' you needn't spare the horses, this trio!" Mrs. Clutterfleld's face was flushed with triumph when she headed the Porter into the Whale Inn's graveled driveway. "If Alfred." she said softly, "could have seen that! My, my!'1 "Alfred," Asey returned as she drew the Porter up smoothly by the porte-cochere, "would've died of apoplexy just the other side of North Quisset. Huh! Just for fun, take Rankin for a drive tomorrow. He don't relish speed You're good. Lady Boop! I hand it to you. Come the revolution, I'll get vou a )ob at the Porter provin track." "It sounds too. too fascinating oooah, there's Horace's car, see?" Mrs. Clutterfield pointed. "He's gone and left it out by the turn table again, and Mrs. Doane will be so provoked with him for not putting it into the garage. But Horace claims he's so tired when he gets back that simply the thought of the garage doors utter ly exhausts him. and" She broke off as Dr. Cummlngs stomped down the front steps to the roadster. "Asey Mayo, I wish to God be fore you go tearing off on Junkets you'd have the common decency to tell people where you could be found! Didn't anyone give you my message? Didn t anyone tell you I was coming back here with NOTICE! Barkers are Still Selling ARROW SHIRTS at the Old Prices 2.C0 -'2.25 -2.50 Arrow Shirts increase In Price January 1st Star for Mtn X some highly Important Informa tion for you?" "Golly P' Asey said as he got out of the car, "now you speak of it Jennie did murmur some thin' about your havin' phoned." "Indeed!" Cummings retorted. "And did Jennie happen to mur mur that I was up at three this morning, and do vou realize it's now practically three o'clock to morrow morning? When people all but break their necks to try and supply you with vital infor mation, it seems vou might " "You mean, Doc, you found Misi Olive?" Asey demanded. "Who said anything about find ing Miss Olive! Cummings held open the front door for Mrs. Clut terfield and informed Asey in whisper that the woman ought to diet. "My God. man. haven t you found her? Finding scl oolteacherl isn't my department look, what I've got to tell you is about that gun, Asey. The tool marks on the rifling of a bullet from that twenty-two we found with the girl don't match those on the bullet that killed her. Hear that?" "Honest? What " "Furthermore," Cummings said, "I know it'll interest you to heal that it's Mrs. Hingham's gun. "She bought it" Cummings said. "When I came back here, I brought the gun with me, and Hanson con fronted her with it when she cams in a while ago. After a stormy in terview, she admitted the gun was hers, and even dug out the fancy case it came in see it on the table? She claims the outfit case and gun, was in her bottom bureau drawer and someone must havs stolen it" Gun For Horace "TJUHI What in time." Asey said, "would she be buyin' guns for? Did she explain that?" "Claims she bought it for her husband to practice shooting with," Cummings said, "so if he was drafted he'd Know which end of a gun you pointed, or words to that general effect Washy Doane says that Horace has used the gun perhaps twice. Says he closes his eyes" "Uh-huh. Washy told me about Horace's shootin' an' after havin' had a glimpse of the fellow, I un derstand that part," Asey said. "Horace ain't too rugged they all gone to bed?" "Mrs. Hingham's retired with acute migraine genuine. I think. Hanson was feeling so thwarted by the time she came, he let loose in his best manner. You know, finger pointing and yelling 'Aha and generally acting like a trial lawyer in a B picture. Your charming friend Rankin has also retired, yawning, after a few gentle cracks at me " Before I forget It. an' before you malign my charmin' friend Rankin any more. Doc, I must tell you that he never got any of the bills you sent him." I don't believe it!" 'He told me he left monev to pay you with Freddy, an' took it lor gramed sne did, an now was he to know if you never billed him for his debts, ' Asey said. - "I tell you, th.it man's simply a fourflusher. that's all! And look. one of the troopers chased some one he thought was a prowler. out it turned out to be a soldier. And" "Again? Is Freddv ud?" Asey Interrupted. "I'm b?ginnin' to have this suspicion that maybe perhaps this comes in her depart- "She's In the kitchen with Washy and Jennie. We were ply ing ourselves with coffee." Cum mings said, "to keep awake. Why should Freddy" "You go get her," Asey said, an' while you're doin' that' I'll go rouse Horace. He's the feller I'm most eager to see, right now." "Wait!" Cummings said. "Horace Isn't here, Asey. He hasn't :ome back yet That sent Sister Hing ham into a frenzy, when she found that out." "But his car", here!" Mrs. Clut terfield said. "Down by the turn table. Those lovely headlights of Me Mayo's car showed it up the n -te I turned into the drive wa! Of cours, he's home!" "Maybe his car's here," Cum mings said, "but he certainly isn't We went through all that with Sister Hingham half an hour or so ago. She didnt say anything about his car. She simply said he had to be here. But he s not. And he certainly hasn't come in since. I've ben right here, and 1 know!" "Is Hanson nere?" Asey asked suddenly. "No? Well, he left some men, didn't he? We'll get 'em to gether. Doc, an' vou an" Washy an' I, we'll have a hunt for Hor ace! If his car's here, he must be. An' I want him!" It was after five that morning, when the fog at last lifted, that Washy Doane found Horace, down on the sand by the bathhouse. Like Ann Joyce, he had been shot in the back, through the heart There was a gun lying beside him, and Dr. Cummings gulped as he picked it up. "Asey, look at that tag!" he said in a weak voice. "I put on that tag. myself! Asey, this is the same twenty-two that Ann Joyce wasn't shot with before!" Ta be eantlnace' Gen. Harmon Hinted Army Air Chieftain Washington. Dec. 27.
