FICTION DETECTIVE
CHAPTER IX
XMUST have given Clint Mattl
son the shock of his life run
nine In that way with my hair fly'
log and my eyes wild.
I finally managed to say that
somebody had bumped Into me on
the path through the woods and
frightened me.
Mattison stood up quickly.
"You don't know who It was?"
"No. I thought everybody else
was In the house when I left."
He went over to his desk that
was piled untidily with papers and
books and yanked open a drawer
and brought out a flashlight and
a gun.
"What are you going to do?" 1
gasped.
"Have a look around before they
get away."
I was out of the chair with one
jump and had hold of his arm.
"YouYe not going to leave me here
alone."
"You'll be safe enough. Lock
the door."
"No no."
He shook my hand off his arm
and turned briskly to the phone.
I heard him ask central for the
county police headquarters. As
soon as he got a connection he
began to tell someone about me
running Into somebody in the
woods. Then he listened for awhile
and a funny expression came over
bis face.
He looked rather foolish when
he turned back to me.
"Let's call your house, Mrs.
Kraik, and see if one of the family
or the servants isn't out Maybe
It was someone just taking a walk
In the woods."
I was beginning to get my senses
back. "No please don't I don't
want them to know I'm here."
Mattison looked at me in a pe
culiar way. I know now what
must have passed for the first time
through his mind then. But, of
course, he said nothing to me
about it
t'TT must have been somebody
from the house," I agreed,
wishing he'd quit looking at me
that way "I'm jittery because of
what happened yesterday. That's
why I lost my head. Let's forget
It Do you know what I came to
see you about?"
He shut his mouth slowly and
tat down in a chair across the
hearth from me and waited for
me to go on.
"I came to talk to you about the
man who was killed yesterday.
You see, he's an ex-convict and
he's been mixed up in all kinds of
crime. And the police will wonder
.how he happened to be at our
place when he was killed."
Clint Mattison nodded his head.
They do. That chief deputy was
over here this morning asking all
sorts of questions about you folks."
I swallowed hard.
"WelL you see how It Is."
spread my hands in a helpless ges
ture and looked appealingly into
his eyes. "We don't want to be
mixed up in a lot of newspaper
scandal. I I thought if you you
write detective stories if yon
would investigate for us, that
Is . . .
"You mean you want me to try
and find out who killed Derek
Grady?"
I nodded my head.
"Whew!" He let out the word
with a long breath and his friend'
ly grin tugged at his mouth.
"That's a big order, Mrs. Kraik.
At that I wouldn't mind try
ing it"
He stared at the wall behind
me for a moment "Maybe you'd
better start off by telling me
U you know about this Derek
Grady."
I had no Intention of doing that,
but it wouldn't hurt to tell him
as much as I had the police. So
I told him about Derek being my
housekeeper's grandson.
"You believe then that he came
to his grandmother for help?"
I stared at Mattison goggle
eyed. It was funny I hadn't
thought of that. It was so ob
viously the explanation of Derek's
being at Kraiktower. If I hadn't
been so concerned about that old

MATTISON went on talking.
"The police had it all doped
out yesterday. You see, they knew
that this Grady was In with a
Chicago gang on a kidnaping.
But he got cold feet and welched
on his pals. The police thought
one of the gang had trailed him
here and killed him In revenge."
I nodded excitedly.
"But they had it doped wrong,'
Mattison went on. "That deputy
just told me over the phone that
they've had word from the Chi
cago police. They've rounded up
every member of the gang that
pulled the kidnaping and not one
of them could have been within
two hundred miles of this place
when Grady was killed."
So we were back at the begin
ning again.
I got stiffly to my feet "Would

A DELIGHTFUL NOTE

Clint Mattison walked silently
beside me. Hit hand was Arm be
neath my arm and his voice gentle
when he told me to take care not
to slip on the stepping stones as
we crossed the creek. I lifted the
skirt of my long black dinner dress
above the dew wet grass and pre
ceded him up the slope of lawn
toward the terrace. I saw that
the living room and the library
were ablate with lights.
Then I stepped through the
French door from the terrace and
stopped dead still In surprise.

A woman, unable to secrete
