"And so was Kaeburn's to the tune of twenty-five thousand. It looks to me as if Clarke was trying to clean up ill around." He finished his drink and leaned forward, accenting h! words. "By the way, who exactly is this Rae burn?" He saw her blink,' the automatic recoil of her eyes. He smiled. "You know him, of course. I was looking right at you when he walked in here this morning." "Oh," Hestor said and her voice was like a sigh. "You recognized him; that's why you dropped the glass." "All right," Hestor said, her pout good-natured. "You win. I'll tell you about it, but I can't talk clear across the room." She indi cated a spot on the divan. "We might have a drink first, though," she said, and waited until he re turned with fresh ones. "Now?" she said, her eyes mocking him over her glass. "Now." "Well" she sighed "Don Rae burn is my stepson." Murdock turned so auickly that some of his drink spilled on his band. "Your what?" "But he is," Hestor said calmly. Murdock stared at her. He took a drink. Finally he leaned back. "All right," he said wearily. "You "I'm not so sure that I want to.' "The police have been hammer ing away at him all day. They'll Jet the story eventually and then II get it from them "You would," said Hestor. "Well, It's like this. His real name is Don Losado, Miguel s only son." "Then why" "Because he hated me. Raebum was his mother's name and he took it when his father re-married. Whether he hated me pe.sonally or whether It was just the idea of his father marrying a nightclub entertainer, 1 don t Know. I ve never seen such a proud and arro gant man. The family is very old, and smug and patriotic and ap parently the son had no intention of accepting me. At first i was furious, and then I thought per haps he'd get over it But he never did. I simply didn't exist for him." Suspicion AS SHE went on, Murdock's mind began to revolve around certain possibilities that had not before occurred to him. In spite of himself he began to wonder if Hestor was quite all that she seemed. If behind her apparent frankness there was something that might connect her with the murder of Perry Clarke. "and now, of course," she w-s saying, "he hates me more than ever because 1 have something he wants. "Why was Raeburn's name on that list?" "I don't know." she laid. "And why did Raebum follow you here?" "That I know." "He thought you had too big a slice of his father's estate and was trying to" "On the contrary," Hestor said. 1 Inherited only a very small por tion. Miguel was very wealthy but that wealth was in the country itself. He had three nlRnfntmn 1 don't know how many thousands h acres ana me town place.

Murdock asked. "Or is it none ot my business?" "It's none of your business," Hestor said, "but I'll tell you. A quarter of a million in cuh and the town estate should bring about the same amount" I "Umm." Murdock said. "It must I be quite a plaje. 'It is. Really. Kent you've never seen anything like it It's about luur in I tea uui uii uigu umicau that looks over town and harbor. The house is stone, low and ram bling, and there's a pool ana gar dens and a tennis court. I don't know how many acres there are, but enough for a polo field and there are trails along thf slopes so one can ride. You should sit out on the veranda at night with the lights of the city shining below you and the moon spreading its reflection out across the set. . . . She sighed and stirred beside him, as though to break the spelL Then she had turned and was smiling, her voice once more mat ter of fact "It was heavenly, Kent Yet I couldn't stand it there alone. I had to leave, and I knew I'd never be back." "You're selling It then?" "Yes. To a syndicate. For a new club, I believe. They were already getting members when I left And that's why Don Raebum hates me. He wanted to buy it" The Bundled Thousand MURDOCK waited. When there was nothing more he said: "Don't you want to sell to him? You being spiteful?" "Oh, no. I know why he wants It It's been In the family for ages and he can't bear the thought of its being turned into a a club. The trouble is he can't pay for it" "You said he was rich." "He is or will be when the Inheritances are paid over the first of the month, but there is nc cash, don't you see? I cat. get two hundred and fifty thousand for the estate the first of the month. Cash. He has made the same offer but with only twenty-five thousand down. I can't do it Kent." She paused again, and when he saw the new line of her mouth ht knew she meant what she said. "With all that property," Mur dock said thoughtfully, "it's funny he can't raise that amount through the banks." "That's what I told him In Ca ragua. Now I suppose he s come here with the idea that he can fester me into accep ing his offer, ither that or why. yes." Her eyes widened. "Maybe he has found some way of raising the money here, in this country. "Would you sell to him if he did?" "But certainly. Not because of him, though; because of Miguel." "And if not the sale goes through the first of the month through John Nason's office?" "Yes." She leaned towaris iim and her hand found his. "And now, please, can't we talk about something else? See what you can get on the radio." Her touch was warm. He gave her hand a quick squeeze and dropped it "All right. But tell me about one thing first?" "What?" "Perry Clarke and that hundred thousand you gave him." She smiled. "All right then. I will. I did because he once did something for me and if it hadn't been for him I might still be sing ing in nightclubs. ... I'm not go ing into detail about our mar riage. I thought we had been un happyyou and I but it was nothing like it was with Perry. You were never mean or deliber ately nasty and you stayed sober, but Perry . . ."

Oregon, pride of the Uncle Sam's battlefleet dur ing the Spanish-American war. may supply the steel for a mod ern aircraft carrier. Possibility that the one-time bulldog of fhe navy" may be scrapped was disclosed late yes terday by Oregon's Gov. Charles Sprague at a meeting of the Battleship Oregon commission. He said that a war production board survey showed some of the best steel ever forged in the United States is in the old ship now berthed in the Willamette river here as a State park mu seum piece. Years ago the government re turned the vessel to the state, but Sprague said that the com mission holds the view that the Oregon still belongs to the navy and that the state serves only as custodian.
