CHAPTER XXIII When 1 went to Mark after rest period 1 told him of the report that Loren had heard. He said: "Yes, 1 know about that. Finn ■topped in for a minute. He admiti ted that the fingers of Joe’s left hand were bruised on the top, but he wouldn't let that shake his belief that Joe took a load off his gonscience by jumping overboard. He thinks maybe he hit his hand on the beat when he went over the side.” I looked at him doubtfully. “Do you think so?” “It’s possible," he admitted. “It’s possible, too, that Joe took the grappling hook with him to make a good job of it. Finn's going to try hard to convince the coroner’s jury, anyway. He’s going to kill two birds with one stone and hold the inquests on Vail and Joe both tomorrow.” “You said Joe’s fingers were bruised on the outside, didn’t you?” I asked slowly. Mark’s eyes brightened. “Yes. So what?” "Why,” I said, "it doesn’t seem possible that he could strike the outside of his fingers jumping or falling from the boat.” “You’re getting to be quite a detective,” Mark said. “You’d almost have to fall over backward or do a front flip-flop to hit that way, wouldn’t you?” "Yes.” I thought for a minute, trying to visualize the scene on the lake during the night. “It would seem much more probable that he fell backwards—or that he caught the boat ard someone hit his fingers io make him let go.” “An unpleasant train of thought. Mark said, “but a logical one. I never heard of anyone who wanted to kill himself jumping in the water 1 backwards. It would appear that it was an accident, or another murder.” He frowned and ran his fingers through his hair. “If it was either one, I’d like to know what Joe was doing out on the lake at night, with a grappling hook.” “I don’t know," I said. “But listen. Mark. Last night I either heard or dreamed I heard a scream.” “Did anybody else hear it?” “Not that I know of.” “What time was it?” he asked. "Eleven-thirty.” “That was after Joe’s guard left him,” Mark said gravely. “It may not be murder. Bob, but it looks like it." Sue came in. She smiled at me sand said to Mark, “Did you have 1 nap?” “A good one,” he said. “That’s fine,” she said. “Let’s see if your temperature’s behaving.” There was a pause while she put the thermometer in his mouth and took his pulse. She took the thermometer out. looked at it and then 1 \ began to shake it down. “Ninety-eight-four,” she said. “You’re feeling better lately, aren’t you?” Mark grinned. “I’m feeling great,” he said. “My legs are coming to life, I believe. Pretty soon I’ll teach you how to tap dance, angel. Want a job in my next show?” There was a knock on the door, ' and Dr. Calvert came in. At the I sight of him all my uneasiness was revived. But it was impossible to tell anything from his face, except that he seemed worried. He could not even smile very convincingly at ; Sue. I “Good afternoon,” he said. “How * are the legs, Mark?” > “I hardly know they’re still on, j they’re so good. You look more like * a patient than I do.” John Calvert shrugged. “I’m tired.” * “You look it. Why don’t you ever . think of yourself? The patients can do without you once in a while.” I “I wasn’t working with the pa- > tients today,” the physician answered. “No,” said Mark, “you were doing an autopsy. Well, everything's washed up now, isn’t it? Finn told me so.” “Perhaps. That remains for the coroner’s jury to decide.” ‘What do vou make of the bruises on his hand?” Mark went on. “Oh, Finn told you about that? Well, his hand may have struck the boat, or he may have hurt himself

The present officers have completed their report for this year and these reports show that their; expenditures are within the two cents a bushel estimate. In July they expended $71.16. in June $304.45. and in April $29.65. The total budget for the county was' $815.00. and there is an unexpended balance of $38.16. which will re-; main in the treasury to be dis- 1 tributed nt the end of the contract

with the grappling hook. It’s impossible to say.” “Were nny bones broken?” 1 asked. He nodded. “The middle finger on the left hand. The other lefthand fingers are badly bruised.” “What’s your opinion, Dr. Calvert?” Sue asked. ‘lf you don't mind,” he said, “I’d prefer not to offer any opinion. I hope the sheriff is right. If he isn’t—” He gestured slightly w-ith his hands. We all understood him. There seemed no possible connection between the murder of the gardener —if he had been murdered —and the murder of Vail. I looked at Sue and

saw her frightened eyes fixed on the doctor’s. If the sheriff was wrong who among us was safe? ♦ ♦ ♦ Next day, the Tuesday following Vail's murder, four patients left Sherwood Forest Sanatorium. All of them were quite ill, and they left against the advice of the medical staff. Fear drove them away. They fled from the vague terror that had infected everyone since we had heard that Joe Barker, too, may have been murdered. Sherwood Forest was still on the front page of the newspapers. The management of the sanatorium had abruptly changed its attitude toward the reporters who were still camped in the village from hostility to friendliness. The press had been called in and told of Joe’s death, and the newspapers had printed the sanatorium’s statement that he had apparently committed suicide just as he was about to be arrested for Vail’s murder. There were, however, in the stories which I read at breakfast, some hints of skepticism, and one reporter emphasized the sudden and suspicious accessability of the management. “The newspaper men didn’t quite swallow that story," Loren Ruxton remarked to me, stopping at my table as he left after breakfast with his uncle. “Suspicious fellows, aren't they?” If this statement to the press had been intended to allay the fears of the patients, it failed. Death was their familiar neighbor, but now even the hopelessly ill had discovered that they were completely unresigned to death by violence. They could face the thought, that their lives were sharply limited, but not

that some of those precious weeks or days might be snatched from them prematurely. The four who fled, hoarding their precious scraps of existence, left behind them a fear- . fulness that might become panic and stampede. “I have faith in their curiosity, Mark said. “Most of them would rather be knocked off than miss the inside stuff they can get here. They’ll wait until after the inquest, at least. The show has to be pretty dull before the audience walks out in the middle of Act Two.” Mark was rather quieter than usual that morning. I tried to talk to him at first, but his attention wandered. He replied to some re-

mark of mine about a new play by saying: “Vail’s sister's expected in a few days.” “Oh, yes,” I said. “She was on a cruise when he was killed, wasn't she?” He nodded and retired into himself again. Presently he said, “I want to see her.” Then he dropped the subject and added, “I’ve got a little investigation I want you to make for me.” “What is it?” I asked him. “See me after the inquest,” he replied. Then, as I looked impatient, he grinned. “What’s the use of being a detective if you can’t ht mysterious?” I had to be satisfied with that. I knew Mark too well to hope that arguing would do any good. He was playsng a new role and, characteristically, he had submerged himself in it. If he intended to be the mysterious detective, nothing w’ould make him step out of character. The inquest was held that afternoon after the rest period. For the convenience of the patients who had to testify, the coroner used the office of Anderson, the sanatorium’s business manager. Neither Anderson nor Finn dared to try to bar the reporters, but they were very carefully ushered into the room and kept away from the patients who crowded the lobby waiting for news. The coroner's jury had been carefully selected from persons in the village who would have found it unprofitable to antagonize the sanatorium management.
