PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1941 by Phoebe Atwood Taylor Chaster S7 1 Dim Trail THIS enterprise photographer A named Ferdinand, he printed . up a lot of the Reverend Henry an' hi. two daughter. j em. An' because Juanita I runnin awad caused quite a nurry in town, a lot of people bought 'em. Mrs. Harris dug one out of her at tic. She didn't know what'd be come of Lucy an' the Reverend Henry, but I 'pose," Asey con cluded, "Lucy grew up an' mar ried a Mr. Beadle." "He was a ship chandler," Miss Olive said, "and he died when I was three. I was brought up by his family. So my mother was ac tually born here in townT I won der if perhaps that can be why the place has always attracted me." "You'll find," Asrjr said, "that your grandmother is buried in the old cemetery. Mr. Philpott'i wife Is buried near her, Jennie you were pretty hot on that, you were!" "How does Ann come Into this?" Mrs. Doane asked. "How did you find out about that?" "Juanita married the music teacher, Marcy Joyce. They had a son Marcy 1 got this out of Ran kin s papers. Joyce died of pneu monia, an' Juanita left the child when he was a couole of years old an' was never heard from again. Joyce's family brought the hnv ud. an' he married, an had a son, who was Ann's father. She had other brothers, Mrs. Thome told me. but thev died. In short, Ann's the great-granddaughter of Juanita Upjohn. "I'm speechless!" Cummlngs aid. "What about this estate Miss Olive's the heir to, Asey?" "Wa-el, about a year an' a half crv I went to Boston for this cart, an' bullied some Porter Motors directors Into gettin' the dona from friends of theirs con' nected with the Empire National 'bout a year an' a half ago, a woman named Allstadt died in Npw York. Juanita Allstadt" "Juanita?" Freddy interrupted excitedly. "Our Juanita, the one who ran away with Marcy Joyce?" "Whoa up. She was the wife of Willem Allstadt, who was very rich, an a famous yachtsman, an after he died around nineteen twelve, she went into seclusion an' got kind of queer. She didn't see people, an' didn't often leave her apartment, an' meals were left outside her door. She had one ole servant, an' after the servant died, the apartment hotel folks had an awful time even gettin inside her place to get it cleaned ' proper. She paid for everythin' with bills. An' when she died, it turned out she was rollin' in money, an' there wasn't no All stadta left, an' there wasn't no will, an' the Empire National was pretty unhappy about It all. On her marriage certificate, this Mrs. Allstadt was Juanita Juan. An' when that got known, hundreds of folks named Juan appeared on the scene, an' the bank got un happier than ever. Finally they hired Rankin to see if he could track down the heirs. An'" "I get it He found out every thing, ' Cummings said. "Only, bow did he plan to profit by it?'' The Plan "MOT io fast. Remember, Doe, 1 1 you've started from Qulsset Rankin had to work it out the hard way. He had to go through Mrs. All.itadt's things papers an' all. An' finally he askea the bank for a secretary, an' they sent him a girl named Ann Joyce. Now, Rankin'd found out that Juanita Allstadt had been Juanita Juan, a famous actress of the nineties, an' finally he located some ole lady in an actor's home who told him she was sure Juan was an assumed name. How he caught on to Ann bein' related we ran only guess till we've pumped him. But may be she knew she had a great grandmother named Juanita. an' raid so. Anyway, Rankin looked into the matter without tellin' her an' found out who her great grandmother was. There's pages an pages of how he found out, upstairs in his papers. Last sum mer, Rankin asked Ann to marry him. Get it?" "Gorry be!" Washy said. There's one part I knew, any way!" "Uh-huh. An' trackln' down Juanita Upjohn who got to be Juanita Marcy, he got bark to the Upjnhns, an' Miss Olive." "How perfectly amazing!" Miss Olive said in her quiet voice. "D'you know, he a-ked me to marry him, last September. And several times this winter. And only last week, after I came!" Asey grinned. "I guess he knew about you, all right! 1 s'pose. If Ann had accepted him, your re lationship an' your part In this wouldn't ever have been brought up, an if you'd accepted him, Ann's wouldn't. He was pretty safe there. Uh I gather you didn't accept him?" "I thought." Miss Olive said, "that he was being rather absurd. I told him so." REDS SURPRISE Moscow, Dec. 29. (AP) The army organ Red Star reported NOTICE! Barken are Still Selling ARROW SHIRTS at the Old Prices 2.D0-2.25-2.50 Arrow Shirts Increase in Price January lit Store for Men "Which I don't think endeared you to him much, ' Asey told her. ''Now, consider. Rankin I done nil bert to. Ann,, anou. Arm you don't. But a little while ago, a cousin of Ann's diet, an' a in?.VL nn l a o the R.Verend Hen- ry an his two aaugnters. now, from what I picked up, I don't think Ann was one bit dumb. While she worked for Rankin on this Allstadt estate, she saw pic tures of Juanita. She knew what Juanita looked like. An' here In this packin' case is a picture of her. an' the name's written on the back. What d'you suppose hap Dened then? Your guess is as good as mine." ane took u io jianum, .ui- mlngs said. "She said, 'Here, look, mnybe I'm related,' or words to that effect." . "I think so" Asey saia. i think, too, that she'd maybe be- ?un to suspect that KanKin naa ound out somethin' about her be in' connected with Juanita All stadt' estate. I think she asked Rankin to look into it for her, an' then when he dallied. I think maybe she went so far as to threaten to get a lawyer an" look into it herself, if Rankin didn't get busy. I think somethin' like that was what goaded Rankin into action. An' this play about the middle-aged schoolteacher give him an opportunity so golden he couldn't let it get by." "What d'you mean?" Miss Olivi asked. "Bram Reid told me this morn In' that a day or two after the play was brought up Ann told him that Rankin Had given her a sublime idea. She said it was a great secret, but ne'd see." "You mean that her dressing up like me was Rankin's idea, orig inally?" Mrss Olive said. Asey nodded. "Uh-huh, I think so. I'm sure of it. He suggested she dress up like you, an' I think planned it out with her, an' somehow got her not to mention his part in it. You see, if you can get someone to keep a plan secret, an' then you shoot 'em, the results is inclined to be bamin'. But Ann gave a hint to Bram Reid, an' I think she told Horace more than Rankin thought she would. That's why Horace got shot" Laundry Chute "DOT sea here," Freddy said, "how did he shoot Ann? How could he have done It? Wa were here in this room all after noon, Mrs. Clutterfield, and Ran kin and I! And he wasn't out oi sight!" " 'Marcella's Rainbow to Love,'" Asey said, "is a half-hour pro gram, Freddy. I got stumped by that first, until I looked it up in the mornin' paper today. Rankin was upstairs durin' it, wasn't he? Durin' that time, Ann got dressed up as Miss Olive an' wrote her a note. Then she showed herself to Rankin. An' while Mareella was goin' on down here. Rankin had a symphony concert goin' on the radio upstairs, an' you never heard the shot. Then he whisked Ann into his room Hanson, look around that bathroom floor, up there, don't forget after hidin' the conversion unit of his forty five in the Venetian blind in Mist Olive's room." "Why in my room?" "I'll get to that Then Rankin came down an' clowned around with Miss Clutterfield, an' then come the special broadcast every one listened to, that Rankin knew about an' counted on " "Mr. Mayo," Miss Olive said, "d'you mean that when he walked downstairs with me, and gave me nickels for my dime to phone with, he had )ust shot Ann?" "Uh-huh. Did you get the party he told you to phone?" "No. I didn't understand that He said I'd had a call, but there wasn't any such number when 1 came out of the booth, he'd gone." "Just so. But he'd planted in people's minds the thought that you was alive an' well when you come downstairs with him, an' that he left before you come out of the booth. The number he give you was a fake. Anyway, every, body gathered around for the spe cial broadcast. An' the laundry man come. An' lust afterward. Rankin went out to get his rain coat at the bathhouse. Washy told me. An' " "And he came back with It" Freddy said, and then he went off with the Judge! Now, how did he get Ann's body downstairs? Tell me that?" "Laundry chute, Asey said. "1 asked Washy if there was secret panels or passageways, last night, an' said no. But I looked before I went rushin' o(T this mornin'. an' there's a laundry chute next to Rankin's room, an' it comes out in that narrow hall behind the phom booth. What Rankin done was to roll up his raincoat an' stick it near the house say, behind bush, or somethin' Durin' the mu sic part of that broadcast he lust went a few steps away, an' then popped bark In. He was safe as he could be. Everyone was Ustenin'."
