Chapter 41
Present For Ward
"A CLUB was what they said
they wanted It for. They
were getting member! when I
left. It would have been a club
too, until the right time came.
They offered Mrs. Clarke two
hundred and fifty thousand. I of
fered the same but I couldn't pay
more than twenty-five thousand
in cash. She knew she would get
the balance within a year or two.
but she hated me and she refused
my offer. Then I had a stroke of
good luck. I had suspected all
along that there had been some
previous affiliation between her
and Perrv Clarke, but it was not
until the day before she sailed
that 1 learned anyining aenmie.
"I had come to see her to make
final plea. I walked down the
hall unannounced. They were
talking in the patio and I heard
him sav that unless she paid over
one hundred thousand dollars
he'd see to it that she got nothing
at all. He mentioned something
about being able to Drove it. and
Mrs. Clarke said she couldn't do
anything about it until she had
returned to the States I heard
that much before a servant ap
peared and they stopped talk
ing.
Raeburn picked up two of the
photographic prints and began to
roll them with one hand.
"I went to Clarke the dav after
Mrs. Clarke sailed. At first he
would admit nothing. I kept after
him, told him I'd be glad to pay
for any information that would
prevent the estate from being
sold. He Anally admitted he had
once been married to Mrs. Clarke.
I tried my best to check that mar
riage and divorce by cable and
transatlantic phone, but with the
Germans in Paris I could get no
where.
He paused, his face thoughtful
and Murdock prodded him.
"So Clarke followed Hcstor
here."
"He ran out on me," Raeburn
said. "Just when I thought I had
convinced him to see things my
way he took the plane. I didn't
find out until he had gone. So I
took the next one out, two days
later. It seemed like a wild
chance, but I had to try.
"You went to Hardacker," Fen'
ner said.
Peculiar Bequest
"I DID. Got his name from a
telephone directory. He found
Clarke and Mrs. Clarke lor me
I went to her house one evening
There was a party on but Clarke
met me outside. I told him I'd
pay him twenty-five thousand
dollars if "
"And he believed you," Fcnner
said.
"Why shouldn't he?" He put
the two rolled photographs in his
pocket "I think you know the rest
of the story."
"He was really doing a Job of
(riling out, wasn't he?" Fenner
said.
"Wait a minute," Murdock said,
glancing at Nason. "Is there some
jaw in caragua tnat says a man
can't leave what he wants to a
woman whether he's married to
her or not?"
"Not that I know of." Raeburn
frowned; then said: "Oh, I see
what you mean her marrying
father before she was divorced?
But this case was different. For
tunately, and for some reason of
his own, no doubt, my father
used a peculiar wording in his
win. in ellect he said that II. at
the time of his death, he was still
legally married to Hestor Losado.
she was to receive the following
bequests."
"Oh. oh," said Fenner. "That's
the crusher.

face blotchy and her stare vin

aware of anyone but. Raeburn
and the look on her face held
Joyce until she saw someone
move Irom the corner 01 her eve.
It was Raeburn. He was offer-
ing the two remaining photo
graphs to Ward Allen.
"Would you like these?
Allen took them. He stood very
straight and stiff, and his
blond lace was colorless, nis lips
barely moving as he spoke.

"Those clippings made a lot of
trouble for vou, didn't they?"
Raeburn said. "It's too bad you
didn't know."
"Know what?
Raeburn backed to the door.
Things have happened since vou
left. They deported vour frielrd.
the Countess, for one thing. And
some of the undesirables have
been weeded out of the police
department The truth about that
charge against vou came out

He paused and explained. "Al

for a while in Caragua. He ap
parently regretted it later be
cause he broke off with them.
They resented it and did what
they could to punish film.
Ward Allen stood motionless
until it seemed that he did not
intend to answer. Finally he said:
"Perry Clarke knew the charges
had been dropped and yet he "
"He helped what is the word?
frame you."
I'll Listen'
"YES" Allen "id- He looked at
Hestor. "You could have told
me the truth, too. You knew I'd
been cleared."
Hestor gave no sign that she
had heard. Raeburn reached be
hind him for the doorknob, turned
it
"I'm grateful to you," he said
to Joyce, "for suggesting such a
satisfactory bargain." Then, to
the room: "Give me a reasonable
chance and there'll be no trouble."
"Oh, sure." Fenner said, his
voice thin and mocking. "We'll
give you plenty of chance."
Raeburn looked at him. as
though weighing the statement
"I'm not sure I can get out of
tha country, but I can at least
start these photographs on their
way. Alter that I II not care so
much. . . . There's Just one more
thing."
He turned to Delia. "I'm sorry
about last night Miss Stewart
I hadn't expected vou. I didn't
know who it was and I tossed my
coat over vour face and grabbed
you. When you fainted vou
slipped out of my arms and struck
Kour head on a chair. I should
ave been more careful."
He backed through the door
way. Joyce sat up and got her
feet under her: then Raeburn was
gone and Fenner was moving
towards the door in quick long
steps, his hand sliding inside his
coat.
Joyce ran across the room,
meeting the detective at the door.
"No, Jack!"
"Look out," he said, not even
looking at her.
"You mustn't" She struggled
to stay in front of the door and
felt herself being thrust aside.
"He can't get away with it"
"But he didn't do It!"
This time Fenner looked at her
His eyes were still narrowed, still
suspicious, but he dropped his
hand and stood back.
He was there. You saw him
come out.
"Yes, Joyce said.
"He grabbed the envelone frnm
Miss Stewart."
"There must have been some
one else there before him."
Yeah? Fenner moved back.
Go ahead, I'll listen."

Fifty years old, the Rio Grande Southern railroad of Colorado is being revived by ear-load
ings of strategic or for the war effort. This narrow-gauge rsad offers one of the most thrill
ing rides through mountain country in the United States and it is one of the two daily narrow
gauge passenger operations left in the nation and it is ten years ago the operators of tha com (
pany decided to use "rail autos" to supplement the locomotive service. New wheels are
placed on the car and the rear end is split and widened so a special body can be attached for
hauling mail, expresa and freight.
