' THE TYPEWRITE CHAPTER IV rpHEY buried Joe Parker the next afternoon. Pat never knew how she sot through the short service at the church and again at the crave when the solemn "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust" brought fresh tears to the eyes of almost every one in the crowd. Of course, Dave Elson's firm hand on her elbow helped a lot. Later, after they had gone back to the big house that had been Parker's home since childhood, Pat decided that the scribbled note on an immense basket of red roses was as much of a comfort to her' as anything else. "He was a great man and a true friend to all who knew him." Pat could not help being a bit surprised at the donor, for Ran dolph Atherton never agreed with Parker. Not on the plans for the new city park, improving Main street, or anything else. But his message, so sincere and thought ful, told her that tragedy had con quered all other enemies and the flowers were Atherton's final trib ute, n "That man never paid tribute! to anyone but himself, Pat," Davel remarked sarcastically when she' told him about it "He has one ambition money. How he gets it doesn't matter." The girl laughed. "My, but you're cynical," she told him. "Is that what New York does for you?" "Maybe Life is what does It, Pat People are funny when you get around and see a lot of them. You don't trust anybody, not even yourself. See what I mean. Fat?"1 "Sort of. But it's wrong, Dave, all wrong." Dave ran his fingers through hi hair in a characteristic gesture that she had almost forgotten. "I know, Pat but " . "Here, children," Sarah Har rington, Mr. Parker's old house keeper, interrupted him, "drink some tea and get the chill out of your bones." a A LITTLE later Clem and Mary Evans came in. Dave switched on the light and the glory of the open fire was masked by the brighter and less romantic table lamp. The tea, so piping hot and de licious when Mrs. Harrington had brought it in, had cooled alarm ingly and Pat followed the house keeper into the kitchen to brew more. She smiled ruefully at the heavy bolt on the kitchen door. At least the mysterious prowler would not get in that way again. "We should have known better." "What, dearie?" ' Mrs. Harrington bustled from the cabinet to the stove and back again. She gave - Pat a quick, questioning look, - "The way Dave and I barreled In here," Pat explained. "Why, Aunt Sarah, we simply asked for trouble. The door was unlocked that alone should have cau tioned us. We might have known the police would have locked all doors. Oh, no! - Not Cleveland and Elson, Incorporated. Prize chumps." , Mrs. Harrington laughed. "Hey, you two," Dave hailed them from the hall, "are you mak ing tea for the whole town?" "Indeed not," Mrs. Harrington chuckled, "but you can't make tea too quickly if you want it to be good." "If that's it, I forgive you." He ave her a quick hug Pat slipped off her perch on the kitchen table. "What are Clem and Mary do ing?" she asked. , "That's what I came out about Pat We're going to have a look around the place and I knew you'd never forgive me if we started without you. Come on, sleuth." He started toward the door. "By the way. Aunt Sarah, we'll stop any time to eat You know me." "'LEM and Mary were already in the study, a large room filled with books and souvenirs that Joe Parker's friends had sent him from all parts of the world.

No crime is perfect." His wife shook her head de spairingly. "I'm beginning to doubt that" said- Pat almost agreed. She, too, had her moments when she was sure they would never know the truth. Half-heartedly, she sat down at Parker's desk.- Mary.

"No use looking there, Pat," Dave said when the girl opened a drawer. "Blair turned it inside out." "I know," she nodded vaguely, "but I just " Her voice trailed off Into noth ing and Dave turned back to his search, sympathetically silent Pat's fingers caressed the key board of the old typewriter on the desk. Absently, she rolled a sheet of paper into it and began to type the sentence that is as old as high school typing classes. "Now is the time for all good men" She stopped, stared at the line of typed letters. That "1" this was the typewriter that turned out that threatening letter!
