CHAPTER XXV It was very hot in the town. Heat waves shimmered above the single bright line of railroad tracks and the gray, barren roadbed. There was very little apparent activity, but there were several taxi drivers dozing in their cars under the roof that extended from the wooden railroad station. “Taxi?" inquired the driver of the first car. I shook my head. “Not yet,” I said. “I’m looking for the driver who took a visitor to Sherwood Forest last Thursday afternoon.” “Last Thursday afternoon?” he said. His eyes brightened. “That's the day that fellow was killed there, wasn’t it?” I nodded. “Yes. I’m inquiring because this visitor lost a cigarette case and I thought it might have been dropped in the taxi.” “It was Stan that took her," the driver said. “Second fellow down. I don’t think she dropped her cigarette case in his car, or he would have found it when he had it washed yesterday.” 1 tried to look disappointed, but I do not think I succeeded. There had been a visitor, then, and the visitor was a woman! I said, “Well, I’ll ask him about it anyway. Thanks.” I walked over to the car he had indicated. The driver was sleeping, with a handkerchief spread over his face tb keep off the-flics. The handkerchief rose and fell rhythmically with his breathing. When I touched his arm he came awake with a start. “Sorry to disturb you,” I said, “but I want you to drive me to Sherwood Forest.” “Sure,” he said, scrambling out to open the rear door. “Never mind,” I said. “I’ll ride in front with you.” We backed out from the station platform and crossed the railroad tracks. As we drove out into the country, the driver turned to me. “Been havin’ some excitement up at Sherwood Forest, ain’t you 7” he remarked. I had been wondering just how I would open the conversation and I was delighted with this opportunity. "Yes, it’s been an exciting week, I said. “Have you been up there lately 7” He shook his head. “No, we don t get many calls from there 1 almost got’in on that murder, though. It’s a funny thing, 1 drove a lady to Sherwood Forest that very afternoon, but 1 left without even knowin’ that fellow Vail had been killed.” “You couldn’t have stayed long then,” I said. “They found it out a little before four o’clock.” “So I heard,” he answered. He concentrated on his driving as we spiraled around a hill. Then he said, “I don’t know much about the sanatorium. I don't get up that way very often. Which cottage is the one Vail lived in?” “The first one as you come in.” “Yeah?” He sounded startled. "Say, that's the cottage my fare went to!” “You don’t say so!" 1 said. “I wonder who she was visiting. I don’t remember that anyone there had a visitor that day.” “She stayed less than five minutes,” the driver answered. “She come in on the 2.49 and when we got to the sanatorium sh« had me stop on the road, just before it turns at the first cottage. She waited in the car until just 3.30 and then she walked up the hill to the cottage. She was back in about five minutes and she had me take her back to Echoville. You know, 1 thought at the time it was funny she come all that way an’ then only stayed a couple of minutes.” “She didn’t murder Vail, if that s when you mean,” I answered. “He was killed about an hour before she arrived. What sort of looking woman was she?” The driver’s lean, tanned face wrinkled into a grin. “A hot number,” he said. She was one of these here platinum blondes, like you see in the movies. Funny how many of ’em you see lately. My wife says they're phony, most of ’em.” “Was she short or tall ?’’ •Medium. She had brown eyes, and a lot of makeup on. She had a pretty good shape, but kinda fat around the hips. Hard-looking, too. I guess she knew her way around.” He stopped suddenly and looked ot me with an embarrassed grin. “I hope she ain't a friend of yours,” he said. I laughod. “No, I don’t recognize

her,” 1 assured him. “I thought I might know her if you told me what she looked like. How was she dressed ?” “Well.” he answered, “she had on one of those dinky little black hats over one eye. It looked like it was goin' to slide off any minute. An’ she had on black shoes with real high heels and stockings that was so thin yon thought she was barelegged till you looked close. Yeah, an' she had on a black silk coat with monkey fur on the collar. I know it was monkey fur because my wife's got a coat trimmed with it. It’s the latest style, my wife says.” “I don’t recognize her at all,” I said. “Did she take the train for

New York when you took her back?” “Well, there wasn't any train for an hour. She went to the hotel an’ had somethin’ to eat, I guess, an’ then she took the train. Say, I been wonderin’ about her ever since. Do you think I ought to tell the sheriff about her?” I thought for a minute, and then decided that Mark probably would not want Finn to know about her immediately. So I said negligently, “I don’t see why you should. Vail was dead long before she got here, so I don’t see how she could have had anything to do with it She probably came to see someone else in the cottage, and you might get in trouble with the sanatorium if you said anything.” He nodded vigorously. “That’s what my wife said. She said, ‘Don't get mixed up in it, Stan, unless you have to.’ ” “Your wife’s sensible,” 1 answered. “That’s good advice.” He looked relieved. “It don't pay to get mixed up in murders,” he commented. We had passed through the gates of the sanatorium by that time. As we climbed the hill on which the cluster of white buildings stood I looked quickly over the terrain. Farther on the road curved and ran along the side of the hill, rising very little, and the land sloped up above so that the road was entirely concealed from any of the cottages. A short distance on it curved again and came out suddenly into the middle of the sanatorium. The afternoon of Vail's murder when the driver had stopped just this side of that bend, the ear had been completely concealed, even from Lakeside Cottage, which stood about thirty feet back from the road and beyond the brow of the hill. It was easy to understand how the woman who had gone there to see the singer had been unobserved by anyone at that time when the pa-

Will you give i me your card 7” , , ’ “Sure,” he said. “Glad to take I care of you any time you want. > He pulled out a wallet and produced a somewhat soiled card which , announced: i Taxicab Service ; Anywhere Any Time i Stanley Carson ! Tel. Echoville 466 “Service With a Smile.” . . “Thanks.” I said. I dropped it in ■ my pocket and went inside.

I had to wait an hour before I could tel) Mark my news. “You’ve discovered something,” he said the moment I came in. “You’re right I have!” I said. “I found a taxi driver who brought a woman to Lakeside Cottage at 3.30 last Thursday afternoon.” Mark’s hand trembled with excitement as he lit a cigarette. “Tell me about it,” he said. When I had finished my story he said, “Swell work, Bob. I’m going to promote you to sergeant.” “It was your hunch that was swell,” I said. Mark looked pained. “That wasn’t a hunch It was pure, brilliant reasoning. Did you recognize the description of the woman?” “No. I've never seen any platinum blondes here.” “Well,” Mark said, “we know now that it was this woman who started the phonograph, discovered that Vail was murdered and ran off without raising an alarm. Now all we’ve got to do is find out who she was and where she is.” “That’s a large order,” ! said. “The police haven't been able to find Fclipa, so how are you going to find a woman whose name you don’t even know 7” Mark sat up in bed and glared at me. “We've got to find her!” he said. “If we find her, we’ll break this case wide open! Why was Vail killed on the very day she was to see him? Why did he want to see her on the quiet? Why did she skip when she found him dead? That woman can tell us the answers, and when we know them, we'll know who killed Vail, and why!” “If we find her,” I amended. “I’ll find her, all right!” Mark said, and as 1 looked at that stubborn jaw of his, I almost believed that he would.
