SYNOPSIS Seifert Vail, the most unpopular patient at exclusive Sherwood Forest Sanatorium, is murdered. Two wounds are found on the body; one apparently from a sharp weapon and the other, from a dull, rusty instrument. Dr. John Calvert and Mark Hillyer, playright and patient, agree the wounds could have been caused by a pair of scissors. Fclipa, the maid, discovered the body when she went into Vail’s room to turn off the phonograph. Vail, a former opera singer, broken-hearted over the death of his wife, had a habit of repeatedly playing the record “Waiting For You,” sung by himself. Dr. Calvert claims Vail had been dead an hour before the phonograph started playing. Vail shared a cottage with Willis Clendening, Milton Cross and James Ruxton. Ruxton's nephew, Loren, and Dr. Calvert are rivals for the affections of Sue Faraday, Mark’s nurse. Ruxton had changed rooms with Vail the day before the crime because the former’s room had a private entrance and Vail expected a visitor he wanted to receive secretly. A letter the victim received from New York is missing. Sheriff Finn asks Felipa how she knew Vail had been murdered when he had been covered and the wounds were not visible. She appears to be hiding something and, next morning, disappears. Clendening claims he saw a piece of paper under the clock on Felipa's table, but no trace can be found of it. Mark’s theory is that Dr. Caldwell, having gone there alone, may have found the note but denied seeing it. Loren Ruxton claims he was out with Sue at the time of the tragedy and took a snapshot of Lakeside Cottage a little after two o’clock, yet Sue had not left the hospital until five minutes to three. The bellboy states he delivered a printed note to Felipa. Mark fears Felipa was also murdered and suggests that Finn drag the lake. A pair of hedge shears, wrapped in overalls and believed to be the murder weapon, are found in the water. CHAPTER XVII It was too late, when I returned from the lake, to see Mark again before the afternoon visiting period, so I wrote him a brief note telling him what the sheriff had found and sent it to him by a bellboy. While I was waiting to visit him, 1 picked up a little more gossip about the investigation. A button was missing from the overalls. The record of "Waiting for You,” which had been playing when Felipa found Vail murdered in bed had been examined by fingerprint experts. The only prints on it were Vail’s. The examination of the knob of that secret door which the murderer must have entered likewise revealed no marks but those made by the dead man. The autopsy had confirmed Dr. Calvert’s estimate that Vail had died at about 2.30, an hour after lunch. Except for the discovery of the overalls and the hedge shears, the inquiry was back at the starting point. That bundle retrieved from the lake, however, gave the sheriff at last, something tangible to work on. His statement to the newspapers that he was working on an important clue and that he expected an arrest within twenty-four hours had been a prophecy. The patients had all learned of the discovery and before and after luncheon they loitered in the lobby, talking in portentous whispers. They had heard that Finn was questioning the gardeners and that one of them was unable to prove an alibi. One of the physicians was compelled finally to order the last stragglers back to their cottages. I found when I went to his room after rest period that faithful messengers had brought all these rumors to Mark. He was looking very pleased with himself. “How was that for a hunch?” he cried.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, .11 IA L.

STATE TROOPS ARE GUARPING SAN FRANCISCO (CONTINUED FROM "block sysfem'' distribution of food, under which committees in each neighborhood will see that food supplies arc distributed equally. The teamsters union in Oakland was providing convoy ami safe passage for a limited number of food delivery ti (leks. Two hundred guardsmen from the 160th infantry, Los Angeles, were sent from San Francisco lo the Oukluud and Berkeley armories this morning to reinforce guards already there. The 16oih arrived in Sun Francisco yesterday. The national guard threw a barricade across the embarcadero

"Pretty sour. We found a pair of overalls and a pair of hedge shears, not Felipa’s body, as you so optimistically predicted.” Mark waved my criticism aside. "You found that Felipa went along the path, and you did find something in the lake. Good lord, isn’t that enough for you?” "You always were lucky,” I said. “After twenty years with me, you still don't recognize genius when you see it.” We smiled at each other and then I asked him if he had heard that Finn was questioning the gardeners. “Sure, I’ve heard it,” he said. "Trust Finn to do the obvious and wrong thing.” "I should think that would be the natural and correct thing to do.”

.—-i i | ‘ The secret door which the murderer must have entered likewise revealed no marks but those made by the dead than.

"Do you think a gardener killed Vail? If you do, Finn ought to make you a deputy!" "Now, Mark,” I said, “You’re just annoyed because your almost perfect crime’s turning out to be an amateur job. You won’t believe a gardener did it because it wouldn’t be good theater. It wouldn’t be dramatic enough for you.” “And why would any gardener want to murder Vail?” he demanded. I shrugged. “It’s the sheriff's job to learn that” Suddenly I recalled one of the trifling incidents of sanatorium life which had given us food for gossip about Vail a few weeks before. “Mark! Do you remember the feud between Vail and one of the gardeners? Remember how he complained because the fellow cut the grass near the cottage during rest period and tried to have him fired?” He frowned. “Yes,” he said reluctantly, “now that you mention it, I do remember it. But, Bob, that isn’t sufficient motive for a murder!” His voice, however, did not sound assured. “I don’t know. The natives around here are all half crazy. Maybe he brooded over it all these weeks—” “I don't believe it! How about all the other things? How would a gardener know of the change of rooms? And what about the visitor?” “But the overalls, Mark! How can you get away from them?” He did not answer for a minute. Then he spoke with sharp emphasis. “I'm not trying to get away from them.” he said. “Because a man wears overalls, does that make him a gardener? Suppose you wanted to move around the grounds during

just north of the ferry building between pier 1 and Jackson street. All persons without passes — which were difficult to gel—were barred from paasing the barricade. With this a.'tion, the guard had completed cutting off with sentry lines the entire wholesale district anil an irregular section runping back nearly half a mile front the waterfront at some points from the terry build Ing U fishermen's wharf, a distance of about i mile upd a half. It was believed (ilia was done to facilitate entry of food trucksPickets at the south Sap Frailcisco Un:' said they were not going to interfere with food cargoes. “if the drivers are afraid to take their trucks into the city, we ll drive 'em in ourselves.” In Oakland the Alameda county liquor stores association decided to close all retail liquor stores.

■ rest period, how could you escape > attention unless you were dressed > like one of the workmen? How do we know the murderer wasn’t dis- . guised as a gardener?” ; I burst into laughter. "Oh, that's • too much, Mark! You reject the ; most obvious and plausible assumption and advance a far-fetchod , theory that no one but you could . have imagined.” i I “They laughed at Columbus,” I Mark answered with great dignity. 11 “It was obvious to everyone else ; that the world was flat.” Sue and Loren came in. bringing . with them a flat package. They . appeared to be on good terms again. I “I’m terribly late!” Sue said. “I should have been here to take your i pulse and temperature five minutes ago.”

“I guess I’ll survive it,” Mark said. “I was hoping to get out of that nuisance this afternoon.” “Why, I can remember the time when you used to be really interested in your temperature," Sue answered as she shook down the mercury in his thermometer. “I’ve got a new interest in life now,” Mark grinned. Sue put the thermometer into his mouth, effectually gagging him, and put her fingers on his wrist “I hear you were in on the dis. covery this morning,” Loren said. “You should have been a reporter. You always seem to be around when things are happening." “The reporters weren’t very far behind,” I answered. “I hear they found a tabloid photographer on the grounds today taking a picture of the wrong cottage.” “Yes, and they heaved him out,” Loren said. “Cold Valley’s full of strange faces. 1 understand a couple of reporters tried to get in by posing as friends of patients. You almost have to have a pass to get in the gate.” Mark, who had shown signs of unrest, spoke as soon as Sue took the thermometer from his mouth. "Is that the record?” he asked, indicating the package, which Loren had put on the floor. Sue nodded. “You’re not the only detective here.” she laughed. “Guess what the man in the music store told us.” “What?” "He said he had sent another copy of ‘Waiting for You’ to the sanatorium today, for Willis Clei> dening.” (To Be Continued) Copyright, 1 93 3, by Joao Clayton and Malcolm Logan Dlitrtbiited by Kina Feature!
