And here was where another detail dovetailed perfectly. It had been the morning ot the day we found Derek's body that Mattlson had come up to the big house to pay his rent. All I had to do was to suppose that Derek had seen Mattison and recognized him at he went back to the Cottage, and that Mattison had shot Derek rather than risk exposure, He had 0 gun. I had seen It the night in the Cottage when I had fled from the Thing on the path. He had taken a gun and a flashlight out of his desk. Of course, there was the book , Mattison had given Kathy to read, the one she had left on my desk in the study. But it Mattison was as clever as he appeared to be, he might have figured it was safer tc assume the name of a real writer and supply himself with some oi said writer's work to make it more convincing. I was quite excited about it by the time I reached home, and the first tiling I did was to look in the study for Mattison's book. I got the publisher's name and address from the fly leaf and then con vinced the telephone girl in the village that I really wanted to send a telegram. Sulkily, she read the message back to me: PLEASE WIRE FULL DESCRIP TION CLINT MATTISON AU THOR OF TIME FOR MURDER URGENT. T GOT downstairs the next day just in time to see George Baker arrive. He stepped out oi a gray convertible with red leath er seats, and I blinked twice to be sure I wasn't looking at a cut from Esquire, Kathy gave him her cheek and he pecked at it before piping up: "Ghastly business, isn't this, dar ling?" I grunted. How Kathy was go ing to stand his inane remarks the rest of her life was more than 1 could imagine. But Kathy, with a straight face, assured him that it was a bad business, and George shook hands with Walter and Connie and came toward me. And I was conscious only of my personal dislike for him! It seems impossible now that I shouldn't have felt some pre monition at that moment of what his coming meant . . ' ' It didn't take a clairvoyant to see that George was plenty both ered about the notoriety centering on the girl he was going to marry, and that he was at white heat to clear it up at once. He said that most of the papers were letting Derek's death slide as a gang mur der, but that there were all kind of rumors going around. I asked what kind ot rumors, but he wouldn't be specific. He had the attitude that we were too stupid, or too naive, to know how to handle the situation and it put my back up. I smiled at him, and slipped the knife in casually. "George, I think you ought to know that the police have discarded the idea of a gang mur der even it the newspapers have not" He ogled me rather foolishly. "What what do you mean?" "The Chicago police have checked up on Derek's Chicago pals, and not one of them could possibly have been near Kraiktower the day Derek was killed." George took out an expensive handkerchief and mopped his brow. "Then that leaves " I" gave the knife a mean turn. "Just us here at the house as sus pects and the servants are ac counted for." TJE stared at me. I went on. "You have guessed why Derek came here, haven't you?" "To hide, I suppose." "Nothing of the kind. He was blackmailing Kathy." That certainly punctured George's opinionated smugness. He nearly fainted. It was the only fun I had had that day. But it didn't last long. He mopped his brow again, and his logical mind seized upon the one thing that had stopped the police from making any arrest so far. "After alL it doesn't really matter as long as the police haven't found the weapon." The weight settled back on my heart "But they have," I said I FUNNY BUSINESS "J jusl drifted while tonelessly. "A friend of ours is going to hand i. "ver to them to day." Walter gave me a murderous look. He hadn't thought my frank tactlessness a bit funny. He told George about the gun being found in the pool, and the bit of cloth caught in its trigger. George looked desperate, and it was then he said the thing that started everything moving to ita swift and appointed end. "That's fine! All the police have to do now is check that bit of cloth with the clothes of all you suspects and find out whose coat or dress was covering the gun when it was fired. , There'll be powder marks on it, and probably a hole whers the bullet went through, certainly a hole where the gun hammer took out a piece of the cloth." All at once I was seeing Connie as she had been dressed that morning, the morning of the day Derek was killed. Connie in that slack suit with its dark coat cut JIFFY-KNIT JACKET IS CASUAL; YOUNG J '755.31 by Alice Brooks Here's the answer to a maid en's prayer for "a knitted jacket to slip on over everything!"
