We were all Jittery from nerv ous strain and it was with relief that we saw long-legged Clint Mattlson striding up from the woods. Kb thy hailed him and he came up on the terrace grinning his attractive grin. Mattlson remarked about the weather, said it was grand or something equally inane, and Kathy agreed with htm with so much vivacity that I sat up and took notice. I watched her and Mattlson and began to conjecture like a .sentimental old busy-body. Mattlson maneuvered the conver sation around to fishing and re minded Kathy of her unfulfilled promise to go with him. He wanted to know if the following morning would be all right Kathy said she couldn't, that we had a guest coming and she'd be tied up for a few days. I no ticed that she didn't tell Mattlson who it was. Little Judy came bouncing out 'on the terrace through the study " door and ran up to Connie and hugged her tightly. Connie kissed her and asked her where Jack was. The cherub looked mysteri ous, and a worried frown cleaved Connie's white forehead. But Kathy laughed. She had glimpsed Jack and pointed him out to the rest of us. He had somehow escaped from Imogene Lake's vigilant eye and had had another try at Clint Mattison's fishing gear in the hall. Now, dragging a rod behind him he was slipping stealthily from the back hall door toward the lily pool at . the far end of the east lawn. Kathy started to call out to him, but Mattlson stopped her. "Let him alone. He wont hurt the rod. Let's see what he does." From beginning to end of that affair Clint Mattison was my Jinx. JACK knew what to do all right. He perched himself on the edge of the pool, got the stick back over his shoulder as he had seen Wal ter do, and then tried to fling it forward over the water. Of course the line unreeled as the stick went forward, and Jack threw down the rod and began to pull the line in by hand. Connie murmured worriedly something about the hook and catching it in his fingers. Mattison said he'd forgotten about that He started down the steps and across the lawn toward the pool. By the time he reached him . Jack was pulling hard on the line. It must have been caught on something. Mattlson picked up the rod from the ground, reeled in the line until it was taut and with weaving motions untangled the hook from whatever was hold ing it He started reeling in again and at last stooped over and picked something up from the shallow edge of the pool. Dropping the fishing stick he turned and came back to the ter race. On the flat of his palm he carried a gun. There was red rust at the end of its short blunt barrel and on the handle, and a shred of black cloth was caught between the hammer and the barrel. I stared at it and wondered it it was the one missing from my desk in the turquoise room. It looked like it But then all guns look alike to me. Mattison said something about the water and the rust having re moved any possible fingerprints. Gingerly he thumbed the catch and swung the cylinder out to one side, and slowly turned it around looking into the bullet chambers. One bullet was missing. Kathy was standing beside me. I felt her shiver. "We'll have to turn It over to the police," Mattison said slowly. "It's probably the gun that killed Derek Grady." I LIFTED my eyes from the gun and looked back at the sun splashed pool where Jack and Mattison had found it It's an artificial pool, part of the land scaping of shrubs and evergreens that form a backdrop to the side lawn and reach from the circle of the driveway to the ravine some distance back of the spot where Derek's body was found. If the person who had shot Derek wanted to return to the . house without being seen, the most natural thing in the world would have been to follow the ravine back to this line of shrubbery, and FUNNY ,KHurry up and gel by you guys from the t3th Bomb """ jLia JLtllll,sLroJLlt!5K?Jn nervousi" then approach the back hall door using it for concealment just as lack had done when he had been trying to reach the pool without being seen with the fishing stick, t was as clear In my mind as If 1 were seeing it actually hap pen. The murderer stealing back to the house our house, passing within a few feet of the pool, which is deep at the far end and filled with lily pads, and on the impulse of a moment throwing the gun into the water hoping that it would never be found. I made my decision. "There is one thing I think you ought to know before you hand that gun over to the police," I said, and my voice sounded hol low. "It Is probably mine." I watched their faces. All I saw was Incredulity and horror and sick shock. Mattison's head jerked up and he looked at me and I tried to outstare the probing sus picion in his eyes. "I had one," I explained care fully, "in my desk upstairs. And LACY CROCHET INEXPENSIVE LUXURY Alice Brooks Lacy doilies, the delight of every housewife, are yours with ease.

"Gram you don't know what you're saying. Who would have taken your gun?" Against my will I found myself remembering how convincingly Kathy had lied to Shaw about not knowing Derek.
