MARGARET I
! - CHAPTER IV
1 LOOKED around tor Margaret,
but she wasn't there. So I went
to phone for a doctor and the po
lice myself.
j Where was Margaret, I won
dered again, and my heart began
;to ache. I'd have to tell her
poor, poor Margaret!
i I sat there by the phone rub
blng my forehead with one clam
my hand and trying desperately
to think. I didn't know what was
best. Maybe if we told the police
'that we didn't know the dead
man . . . but, I'd have to explain
that to Margaret
i The operator in the village
finally put me through to the
Icounty seat There was a discus
sion between her and another
telephone girl, and then a crisp
jmasculine voice announced:
("Sheriff's office."
I said we had a dead man In
tour ravine. The man at the other
lend of the wire asked for details
'as calmly as if finding a dead man
'was an everyday occurrence,
i Maybe it was to him. I told him
as much as was necessary, no
i more.
I Then I went back to the living
room. Clint Mattison had taken
,a seat He looked pretty white. I
i guess his arm was beginning to
jhurt It only he and that devilish
'glider of his hadn't come crashing
i down at the wrong time. . . .
j I gritted my teeth and told
I Clara to give him the smelling
i salts. . Connie was all right
'"Where's Margaret?" I finished.
Sarah ventured that she was
probably in her room. It was
; Margaret's habit to get up early
i during ne summer monin. ana ao
i her work while it was cool. Then
she'd take a nap about the middle
I of ine aay.
I The -storm brok while I was
j climbing the stairs. A great rush
i of wind sailed through the house
l banging doors and blowing things
J over.- Then rain drummed against
I the ' windows. I winced as I
I thought , of the body out there in
J the ravine with the rain beating
down on it
...
J lt AUG ARET was in her room,
A but she wasn't asleep. The
blinds' were down, for coolness I
! suppose, making the room very
dim. She was sitting in a rocking
chair by one of the windows, sit
, ting very still, and staring ahead
. at the drawn blind. . , . -'
., "Margaret ' T said. My voice
Jiwa- pretty shaky.'
!Yes Miss Marthe." She didn't
' seem surprised that I was there in
J her room.' .
Vwent' over and knelt beside
j her and took her worn old hands
J in mine. I would have given any
' thing if I could have spared her
..the shock of this. . She had wor
. shipped him.
.: ?Derek is dead," I said. "I'm
afraid that is somebody killed
!him.- He's out there in the ravine.
.;Oh, -Margaret Margaret" , I was
. (the one who was crying.
-' She stared at me, her wrinkled,
"Abroad, Irish face looking like a
(brown gnome's in the riimnpss of
J the . room. She didn't ask any
questions. I suppose she was too
"-stupefied.
' I told her all I knew. Then I
leathered my courage.
"The police are coming here. I
phoned them. Of course, they'll
ask a lot of questions. Margaret
j it might be better if we told them
-ve didn't know him didn't know
.who he was. Could you do that
7. Margaret?"
-. . She nodded her head, but' her
eyes were 'vague. I didn't think
she understood.
I tried again. "It will be hard
. for you.- I suppose we'll all have
. to look at him. But just say you
. don't know him. Do you under
, Stand, Margaret?"
, Her voice came from a great
'distance. "Yes Miss Marthe."
' V . "
T CLOSED Margaret's door softly.
.. I would have to tell Kathy, too!
' She was the only other person
In the house who could identify
Derek.
As I started down the stairs
.the door of the rose room opened.
.Kathy came out into the hall. I

held on to the stair rail tight
while I waited for her to come to
me. Then I took hold of her arm.
"Kathy! When did you come
back?"
"Oh, an hour or so ago. Why?"
There is always a flippant under
tone in her clear voice as if noth
ing in the world is quite worth
getting excited about
I stared at her searchingly. But
there was no reading that dark
lovely face. Her rouged lips were
smiling lightly or was it mock
ingly at me her dark eyes, ojten
so stormy, were for the moment
clear and limpid. Was It my
imagination that she looked too
innocent?
But there was no time for the
orizing. A car stopped outside.
There were heavy steps on the
flagstones and someone lifted and
let fall the heavy knocker on the
hall door.
"Kathy," I said, abruptly.
"Derek's been murdered. He's in
PINEAPPLE DOILIES
MAKE PERFECT GIFT
by Alice Brooks
Best love of every crocheter
is the lacy, beautiful, simple-to-make
pineapple motif! Here are
two exquisite pineapple doily
designs one- in an oval shape:
the other a six-pointed star. Use
string or cotton, depending upon
the size desired. Pattern 7315
contains directions for making
doilies; list of materials needed;
stitches.
To obtain this pattern send 11
cents in coin to The Herald and
News, Household Arts Dept.,
Klamath Falls. Do not send this
picture, but keep it and the num
ber for reference. Be sure to
wrap coin securely, as a loose
coin often slips out of the envel
ope. Requests for patterns

the ravine. The police are here
now. Tell them you don't know
him."
My nails dug Into her arm
piercing the skin and steadying
her with a physical pain against
the mental shock. She grew white,
deathly white but she didn't faint
"Gram " Her voice shook.
I shook my head at her warn
ingly. There, was no time to an
swer questions. Clara had opened
the door below and three men
came into the hall.
I went down to them.
