Chapter 38
Call From Joyce
JACK TENNER swung his little
ledan into the driveway, drove
up under the porte-cochere, and
topped there.
"We might as well us the so
elety entrance."
Murdock eyed him glumly. "I
ifnn't like this much."
"You've got the wrong atti
tude," Fenner laid, opening the
door. "You were married to her
once and now
That's tat nothing to do with
It," Murdock Mid. "I just don't
like the idea of trying to bully
her when I don't think ihe knowi
anvthinc about the case anyway.
"Look." Fenner became point
. edly patient. "This dame nas got
a definite hook-up with Raeburn,
right? And your wife can put
Raeburn in the chair practically
singlehanded. If Raeburn finds
that out and he wouldn't have
to be very smart if he can read
the papers and put two and two
together nes going 10 nope
something happens to her. right?"
"Ob, quietr Murdock said.
"Get out We'll talk to her."
The butler looked doubtful
when he opened the door.
"Mrs. Losado is engaged at the
moment.
"We'll wait," Fenner said and
pushed in.
Murdock followed. "Just lay
that Mr. Murdock would like to
see her. Tell her I won't keep her
long-
He had been moving along the
short corridor as he spoke and
was now nearly to the main halL
The butler shrugged with his eye
brows and withdrew, and pres
ently Hestor appeared.
"Why. Kent how nice"
She stopped abruptly, seeing
Fenner, and the smile faded. She
looked questioningiy from one o
the other, and Murdock made the
introduction.
Tve heard a lot about you,"
Fenner said. "And all of it's true."
Hestor looked him un and
down, with some hauteur at first
and then, seeing bis grin, wltn
more interest
"Would that ba a compliment?"
he asked.
"It would."
A smile touched her glance and
he turned to Murdock. "John
Nason's here. Would you rather
wait or"
"Nason?" Murdock hesitated,
finding the name an injection
which stimulated many dormant
thoughts. "No. He might be in
terested in this too."
John Nason rose when they en
tered the drawing room, blond,
square-faced and powerful-looking.
Beneath the bushy brows his
gray eyes examined the trio in
one swift glance and then became
expressionless.
Hestor Angry
SHE sat down and the others
followed.
"The police haven't been here,
have they?" Murdock asked.
"They telephoned," Hestor said.
"I told them they could come
Iter lunch."
"Do you laiow why they
tailed?"
"About Perry Clarke, I pre
lume." Murdock glanced at Fenner,
knowing that .if he did not con
tinue, the detective would.
"Have you seen Raeburn?"
"Why no."
"Have you been tn touch with '
him at all?"
Hestor's glance slid over to Na
son and came back. "I'm afraid I
don't understand," si said. "I've
Just told you"
"A man by the name of Hard
acker was murdered last night"
Murdock said. "Apparently by the
same person who killed Perry
Clarke. Hardacker was a private
detective, and he was working for
Raeburn. The way it looks now,
Raeburn is the one who killed
him and Clarke."
Hestor's mantle of graciousness
had slipped away.
"Ana how." she asked, her
glance reynttul, "does that con
cern me?
"You know Raeburn," Murdock
laid.
"And we thought you might
nave some line on him," Fenner
added.
Hestor looked him up ana
down.
"Is that why you came?" she
snapped. "Because you think I'm
I'm harboring a murderer?"
Fenner was unimpressed. "It's
like this," he said, and began to
tell her what had happened.
Watching the lawyer as Fenner
continued, he concentrated, re
membering things about Nason
that had come to light over the
past two years, reviewing the
business activities that had been
newsworthy enough to warrant a
paragraph or twj in the Courier
Herald. Suddenly he was aware
that not only was there a possible
connection between Nason's field
of business and Hestor's story,
but also a very timely and perti
nent connection. , . .
Fenner had finished and Hes
tor's mouth had tightened. "I'm
sorry," she said, "but I don't care
to discuss it I don't know any
thing about Raeburn and I resent
your inference that I do."
She gave Murdock a hard bright
look. T'If that's the reason you
came I'm afraid I'll have to ask
you to excuse me."
Murdock flushed. He watched
Hestor rise to put an end to the
discussion. He did not move.
Murdock glanced at Fenner. He
was completely at ease. He was
leaning back in bis chair, legi
crossed, a grin on his lips and a
challenge in his eyes. Even when
Hestor glared at him nothing
changed.
"She doesn't have to listen."
Murdock'a flush remained and so
did his stubbornness. "But we
may And someone else who'd like
to know that she had never been
married to Miguel Losado."
Nason Speaks
HESTOR'S face blanched. Her
eyes blazed and for a moment
her acquired veneer cracked.
"Why you" she said. "You "
She choked off and Murdock
went on, implacably.
"You told me you married Lo
sado in July. Isn t that right?"
Hestor was either too angry or
confused to answer and he did
not wait
"Just a minute, please." John
Nason got to his feet and looked
at Murdock and then at Fenner.
His face was impassive, his voice
smooth. He waited until he was
sure of everyone s attention. "The
fact that Mrs. Losado was married
or divorced on a certain date has
nothing to do with the payment
of her inheritance."
"Hasn't it?" Murdock said.
Pausing, as though for empha
sis, Nason continued: "Had Miguel
Losado died intestate, and had
Mrs. Losado not been legally mar
ried, then your contention would
apply, nut he aid not He left a
wilt He mentioned in that will
the name of Hestor Losado. And
so long as he did that. Mr. Mur
dock, Tier legal marital status is
beside the point His intent was
clear and that is the crux of the
matter."
Murdock looked at him and said
nothing. He watched Nason pass a
hand over his short blond hair,
noting the pointed, close-set ears.
He looked at Fenner and that
worthy tilted his brows and let
them fall.
Somewhere In the house a tele
phone rang. Still no one spoke al
though Hestor's look was elo
quent and contemptuous. The but
ler appeared in the doorway.
"Yes, toward, nestor said.
"The telephone, madam. For
Mr. Murdock."
"Thanks. Murdock rose. "Ex
cuse me, please."
The telephone was at the rear
of the hall and when he answered
it Joyce s voice came back to
him.
"Kent. Will you do something
for me?"
"I don't know. What?"
'Will you and Jack come over
to Ward Allen's and do you
think you could bring Hestor?"
"What for? What're you"
"Ward1! ffninff awav. Kent
Delia's gone over to talk to him
and I've just 'phoned him and
asked him to wait"
"Hei crary," Mirdock laid.
"Of course he is. And we have
to stop him. I think we can if we
all get together and tell the
truth,"

PRUSSIAN DRILL
Probably no foreign military figure was mora Important to revolutionary America than
Baron Frederick Von Steuben, who in Prussia was already a grand-marshal. Steuben found
th continental troops raw and undisciplined, and he proceeded to apply Prussian drill tactics.
Thus to him is owed th greatest part of th discipline of American soldiers during th Revolu
tionary war. He also wrote a handbook for training troops which was important long after he
had ceased any connection with th army. Steuben did not return fo Germany, but settled in
New York and was granted a pension by th grateful U. S. Congress.
