’’DEATH «SC®4G” Ay JOAN CLAYTON and MALCOLM LOGAN

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 th wounds could have been caused by a pair of scissors. e elipa, 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. Calvert having gone Uaue alone, may have found the aste 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. 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. The gardeners are questioned, but Mark believes it was someone else disguised in overalls. Loren and Sue bring a "Waiting For You” record to Mark with the news that the music store sent another copy to Clendening that day CHAPTER XVIII Mark chuckled as he took the record from its envelope. He read the label on it and then said, “Did you get the catalogue?” Loren produced it from his pocket and Mark thumbed through it. He found his page and read it, his lips pursed. “I'm a sap,” he said. "I should have had you get me another of Vail’s records." “What do you intend to do with if?" 1 asked. “Never mind, you scoffer,” he eaid. “You don’t believe in me, so why should I let you in on my secrets? Drag the phonograph over, will you?” I carried his portable phonograph from the desk and put it on his bedside table. “I’m afraid you've wasted your money, Mark, unless you miss the sound of Vail's voice," Loren said. “It must be one of the gardeners.” “Says you. If it’s a gardener, that record still isn’t explained.” Mark put the disc on the phonograph and released the lever. Once again the song that now seemed to symbolize Vail’s death rang through the sanatorium grounds. It was uncanny and disquieting, listening to Vail's voice again. If I had not been certain that Mark had some definite purpose in playing it. I would have protested. As it was, 1 sat quietly, feeling very uncomfortable and embarrassed, as though I were a party to a breach of manners. Mark listened intently to the song, and when it was ended, he nodded in a satisfied manner. but be offered no explanation. “1 thought I'd never have to listen to that again." I ->ren said.

“Please don’t play it every day, as Vail did.”

“Once is enough, I think.” Mark answered. “Sorry to raise the dead like that.” We all sat silent. That song seemed to have deprived us all of the ability to make inconsequential conversation. Into that uncomfortable restraint came James Ruxton. He looked pale and ill and he seemed to be struggling to suppress some agitation and indignation. “Good afternoon,” he said. He looked at the phonograph and then at Mark, his thin lips tightened. “Surely you weren’t playing— ’’ He paused and Mark finished his sentence. “‘Waiting For You’? Why, yes, I was. I hope it didn’t annoy you.” “Really, Mr. Hillyer!” he said, "I realize that a guest is hardly privileged to question your actions, but I don’t think it’s quite the proper thing to do, under the circumstances.” “Uncle Jim—” Loren began, but Mark interrupted: “I was merely trying to confirm a theory,” he said. “My experiment’s finished and I don't think I’ll find it necessary to repeat it.” James Ruxton took an immaculate handkerchief from his breast pocket and wiped his lips. “Thank you,” he said. “You can understand what unpleasant associations that record has for me.” “I quite understand, Mr. Ruxton.” Mark said gently. “I'm afraid you’re going to hear it again, Uncle Jim,” Loren said. “Clendening sent to the village for the same record today.” James Ruxton’s thin body stiffened. His eyebrows drew together and his eyes became hard and angry. “I believe I can attend to that,” he said. Thinly, from down the hill another phonograph began to play the same song. It seemed like a gesture of defiance from Clendening, coming at that moment, but I realized that the record had just been delivered to him and that undoubtedly he was trying it on bis machine immediately. In a moment even Janies Ruxton saw the sardonic humor of it and he smiled, grudgingly. Hastily, to distract him, Sue said, “Do you want to see the photo- ■ graphs Loren took yesterday afternoon, Mr. Ruxton?" She laughed merrily. “He’s the world's worst photographer, I believe. You see what he did to me.” “If he couldn’t take good pictures of yag, sweetheart,” Mark said, “he may ss well throw away his camera.” “That's nothing to what I did to Uncle Jina," Loren said. “I spoiled a whole roll of film of him and the cottage the day before the dance.” Sue opened her bag and, walking to the bed, handed some of the prints to Mark and some to Jernes Ruxton. Loren and I walked over and stood behind them. There were several pictures pf Sue, all but one out of focus and that one under-exposed. We passed them from hand to hand, laughing, and Loren good-naturedly joined in our amusement. “It’s the modern technique,” he said. “If James Joyce and Gertrude Stein can write things that don’t make sense, why can’t I take photographs that don't make sense?” “You have grounds for a damage suit,” I said to Sue. “These of Loren are good," his uncle said to Sue. “I suppose you took them, Sue.” “Yes,” she said. "Isn’t he handsome?” “Here’s one of Lakeside Cottage,” Mark said. “Hello, who’s this? Look!” He passed the print to me. The picture was a bad one. It had been over-exposed,' and the cottage tilted at a slight angle. But beside it. visible below the branches of a tree in the foreground, I could see the body of a man facing the house. "Good Lord!" > cried. “He's standing right beside Vail's door!” “Let me see!” James Ruxton exclaimed. He pushed close to me and took the photograph in trem-

bling finger*. “Why, so he is! Its a gardener. Bee, he’s wearing overalls! He turned to Loren, his eyes gleaming excitedly. “What time did you take this, Loren?” “About two-thirty,” he said. “Let me see!” * He studied the photograph for a minute, with Sue looking over hi* shoulder. Then he turned to Mark. “Remember when you asked pie this morning if I'd noticed anything unusual around the cottage yesterday afternoon?” he asked. “I said I hadn’t, but I wasn’t quite sure. I had an idea in the back of my mind that I had seen somebody. I must have remembered seeing the gardener when I snapped that picture, but you get so used to seeing people like that that you don't really notice them.” Slack nodded. “That’s perfectly true. They become a part of the scenery after a while. Let me see it again.” He took back the photograph and studied it. “And you took this at two-thirty?" Loren nodded. "About then,” he said. Suddenly a look of alarm flashed over his face. I could understand it. In his excitement he had forgotten the lie he had told Mark that morning. Now he recalled it. He said lamely, “You asked me about iv this morning, and i said I took the picture a little after two. When Sue reminded me that she didn't meet until three, I realized it must have been considerably later. Mark, do you think that'* the— the person who killed Vail?” “It’s impossible,” Mark said. “A thing like that couldn’t happen. But I don't see how it can be anyone else.” Suddenly he laughed. “By Jove, imagine it! A picture of the murderer, and it might be anybody in the sanatorium! The tree there cuts off the head, and the body might be anyone’s.” He laughed again. “What a joke on Finn!” “It seems unfortunate to me, rather than amusing,” James Ruxton said. “Let me see it again. Perhaps it would be possible to identify the man.” But when he had examined it more closely, he shook his head. “No, I’m afraid you’re right, Mr. Hillyer.” He seemed disappointed. His face sagged in tired lines. “What a misfortune!” he said. “Oh, Loren,” Sue said, “if only you were a better photographer, you might have solved this awful thing!” Mark picked up the telephone. “Tell Mr. Finn that I want to see him as soon as he can come,” he told the operator. “I’ve got something of the utmost importance for him." He replaced the receiver and said to Loren, “Have you the negative of this?” Sue pulled out a dozen negatives and began examining them, holding them to the light. “Here it is,” she said. Loren examined it ruefully. “What a cluck I am,” he said. “I might have solved the great murder mystery with my little camera!” When Finn arrived a few minutes after Mark had telephoned, it was apparent to me that something had occurred since the morning to restore his self-confidence. The worried indecision which had characterized all hi* actions since he had arrived to Hunt for Vail’s murderer had gone. He looked ruddier, bigger, completely assured. His manner was jovial. I had a feeling that this was the genuine Fipn—a big, hearty man pleased with himself and with the way life had treated him. He greeted us all in a loud voice and said to Mark with just a suspicion of condescension, “Well, Mr. Hillyer, what can I do for you? Want me to make you a deputy for that lucky hunch vou had this morning?” He winked broadly at the rest of us. Mark smiled gently. “No, don’t shower me with honors, please,” he said. “I merely wanted to show you this photograph of Lakeside Cottage. taken at 2:30 yesterday afternoon.” (To Be Continued) CortrliH. 183 Sto Jwi Clirun Md Kllnlra PUlrWuted gln< Vaiuiiw SmdlriW.
