DEATH WRITES THE LAST E By Adeline McElfresh THE MAN IN PARKER'S STUDY CHAPTER XI MTJAVE, what's wrong? You sound so queer," Pat's voice was puzzled, "Has anything happened?" Dave hesitated. Pat could pick the darnedest times to call! He gripped the telephone tighter and stared at Myra Rose's retreating back. "No, Pat, I you " he flound ered hopelessly for a moment, then his tongue straightened itself out. "Just a little surprise," he told her. "I'll tell you about it to night." "That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Dave," she went on. "Why don't you ask Clem and Mary to come with you? We'll have supper together and spend a comfy evening, just like old times." "Swell, Pat," Dave tried to be enthusiastic, but his spirits went Into a tailspin. She didn't, he told himself, want to spend an evening with him and him alone. "Good. Jerry has some sort of a Scout meeting and Mother is go ing over to visit Aunt Sarah Har rington, so you can plan on help ing with the dishes." She laughed at his grunt of consternation. "I knew there'd be a catch to It," he groaned. "Okay, Pat, we'll be there with bells on. 'Bye, now." He hung up and turned to rtie others. "Go on, say it," he grinned, a little of the old excitement re turning. "Tell me I'm a chump." "Not chump, Dave," , Mary ' Evans said. "Champ." "Right you are, honey," Clem agreed with her before Dave had a chance to speak. "Congratula tions, son." "Mine, too," Elinor piped up, and Rod Thomas joined in: "You sure shut the old gal up pronto, Dave. I'd already started to rack my brain about another job." Dave chuckled. "Maybe you'd better not stop yet, Rod," he said. "I still have Jo convince the bank that they should back me." ! T")AVE hailed a cruising taxi and went to the big house on Elm .street that had been home to Joe Parker for so long. He wanted to talk to Mrs. Harrington. "Hello, girl of my dreams." He bowed low when Aunt Sarah an swered his knock. "Go on, now, with your flat tery, Dave Elson." She laughed heartily, throwing the door wide. He followed her into the living room with its comfortable old furniture and cheery grate fire. "What is it, Davey?" Mrs. Harrington stirred up the fire and threw on another stick of corner before she sat down. The flames leaped, crackiing, up the cavernous chimney. She waited patiently until he was ready to ppeak. Hesitantly, Dave told her what , had happened. Of Myra Rose's arrival and her decision, to sell the property. Of the coldly mer cenary view she took of the whole estate, her announcement that there was no reason why she should not have the money now, regardless of what. had happened. Only when he told her of his im petuous offer to buy the Express did Mrs. Harrington smile. "I'm glad, Davey," she mur mured, trying to hide the tears that made her voice tremble. "Mr. Parker would be happy, too, If he could know." She wiped her eyes with the corner of her big apron. Dave reached over and patted her hand. His own eyes felt suspiciously moist. ,. "Maybe," he whispered, "maybe he does know, Aunt Sarah." "OME on in," Patricia called when Dave announced his arrival with a sharp whistle, and Clem, Mary and Police Chief Sam Blair ushered him into the room. "Why, welcome, Mr. Blair," she greeted him in surprise, then to Dave: "What have you done that you have to have a police escort?" "He's a public enemy, Pat," the police chief boomed. "A menace to the heart of every pretty girl in town." "Oooh, Dave, give the man a quarter," Pat laughed. When the dishes were done and they had all gone into the living room, Pat began to feel uncom fortable. Something, she could not FUNNY BUSINESS .'He's dicciiia a fox hole he COPYRIGHT, 1943. NKA (ERVICK, INC place it, exactly, warned her of a mounting tension. "Is there something going on around here that I don't know about?" she asked innocently. "Heavens, I hope not, Pat" Mary Evans' reply came a little too quickly. "Why?" "You're all fidgeting, that's why. Even you, Maiy." ' Mrs. Evans laughed and the others joined in, but Pat wasn't satisfied. She settled back to await developments, wondering if this, whatever it was, could be the rea son for Sam Blair's surprise visit Certainly, she thought, Dave's an nouncement that he was going to SUNFLOWER PANEL 7569 by Alice Brook Embroider the sunny yellows, cool greens and rich russet shades of these glorious sunflow ers ... on a wall panel -that will bring permanent cheer Jo any room.

The brief silence seemed like an age to Pat as the three men leaned forward expectantly. But Dave, she saw, was watching her out of the corner of his eye. "I'm George Rand," came the man's voice. "Is Sam Blair herer I was told he wanted to see me." Pat started up, then snt down again. She threw a frightened glance at Sam Blair, then at Dave. "That's him," she whispered hoarsely.
