' "MT rOOR LITTLE BOY
- : CHAPTER VII " "
I NOW know that while Chief
Deputy Shaw was In the house
.that afternoon taking down our
i formal statements, the other dep
uty was still in the ravine going
over the vicinity where Derek's
body was found with a fine tooth
,'eomb as the saying is.
And what he found there was
' enough to start the telegraph
wires humming between Liston,
the village where we get our mail
' when at Kraiktower, and Chicago
' where Derek Grady was last seen
' alive. As a result one message
came through that set cocky,
i young Sam Shaw by the ears. It
Mew to bits the only obvious rea
, son for the removal of Derek
. Grady from this mortal scene.
' However, neither Shaw nor the
ether deputy said anything of
their finds in the ravine that aft
' ernoon. I suppose Shaw was still
' sore because we had deceived him
bout knowing Derek, and flg-;-
ured that if hs asked any more
questions we wouldn't tell him the
truth anyway. And, too, at that
stage, the evidence in the ravine
must have seemed purely inci
dental to him, too.
So the two officers took photo
graphs, packed some things in the
' back seat of their police cruiser
and left shortly after Sam Shaw
gave up trying to question Mar
garet ; AU I had to worry about as I
' went around that afternoon try-
tng to steady my household back
Into its accustomed groove and to
persuade the distrait Sarah and
Clara that murder or no murder
we would expect to have dinner
as usual was the fact that Derek
had shown up at Kraiktower
for the first time in years right
after Kathy had come down. That
fact was more disturbing to me
than the fact that he had been
murdered. Maybe the past hadn't
buried itself. I began to imagine
11 sorts of goings-on.
a a a -
pLINT MATTISON dropped In
on his way home from the hos
pital with his arm in a cast and .
elf-conscious air about him. He
aid he had stopped to see if
there was anything he could do. I
noticed aim eyeing Kathy with a
hang-dog air.
"My grand-daughter, Miss
Kraik, . Mr. Mattison," I said belatedly.-
"I don't suppose any one
thought to introduce you two this
ftemoon."
"I've already had the pleasure
of meeting Miss Kraik," Clint
Mattison said surprisingly. "But
I don't suppose she remembers
Be."
He blushed and. looked at
Kathy apologetically: "It was at
party in Hollywood, Miss Kraik,
I st winter. I was out there for
while; they were adapting one of
my stories to the screen."
Kathy smiled brilliantly at him.
"I'm afraid my memory is rude,
Mr. Mattison. I don't remember
you. But I am glad to meet you
ow."
My opinion of Clint Mattison
went up several degrees. So . . .
he had had a story screened.

A ITER dinner I went up to see
Margaret and took her a bowl
of soup. She hadn't been out of
her room since I had told her
bout Derek. I pushed on the light
and arranged the tray of . food
temptingly on a table by her bed.
"Miss Marthe," she remonstrated
feebly, "you shouldn't have
brought my dinner up. It ain't
iltten' you should wait on me."
"Never mind about that," I said
over the lump in my throat "Just
try and eat a few bites."
But she wouldn't She said the
tight of the food made her feel
worse, and begged me to take it
way.
I tried to hold my voice steady.
"The police have taken Derek's
body to the village undertaker. Do
you want to go and see him, Mar
garet?" She began to whimper then like
I child. Her words were hardly
ntelligible, broken as they were
md -Tin together. "No no. Miss
.farthe. I don't want to see him.
h, my poor little boy . . . my
oor little boy."

I knew then she was thinking of
the mischievous boy with the
laughing Irish eyes to whom we
had all lost our hearts, and not
of the vicious, violent man who
had met death in the ravine. The
police officer had said Derek was
wanted for kidnaping. I won
dered if Margaret knew about
that If she didn't I wasn't going
to tell her. He had already
heaped shame enough on her poor
old head.
After a little while Margaret
quit crying and asked me in a
muffled whisper if I would take
care of Derek.
I told her, yes, that I'd make
arrangements for his funeral, and
asked her if she wanted him
buried in the village cemetery.
Michael is buried there, he want
ed to be near Kraiktower. Mar
garet nodded her head, yes.
As I left Margaret's room I al
most bumped into Connie. She
was coming out of mine, directly
across the hall, and when she saw

me her face flamed. She made
some excuse about looking for a
book that she thought had been
left in my room when her things
were moved.
- "Did you find it?" I asked.
"No." She looked miserable.
Somehow I got the impression
that she hadn't been looking for a
book at all, and I wondered about
that. What had she been search
ing for with that desperate look
on her face?
A little chill crept up my spine.
