"HIGH SCHOOL TRAGEDY* by MAXINE CANTY-

SYNOPSIS Julie Martin, she's all of 17, is relating what happened after her French teacher, pretty Constance (Connie? Sinclair, was found shot dead at a desk in her (Miss Sin. clair's) apartment. Julie has star* tied her mother and interest* her father, a lawyer, by telling that ahe and her boy friend, Dicky Ward, had viaited the apartment the orevioua afternoon, a few hours before th* murder. She had returned a fountain pan which the had borrowed from Miss Sinclair. Newspaper reports make known that the teacher was slain about 10 o’clock that night. The police went to the apartment upon receipt of a mysterious telephone call informing them that Miss Sinclair had been slain. Julie’* young brother, Allen, aleo a high school pupil, leaves the breakfast table soon after the family starts discussing the tragic news. At the school later. Police Inspector O’Brien questions Julie concerning the return of the pen, basing his inquiry on notes made during an earlier examination of Mrs. Sardoni who conducted the apartment house tenanted by the slain teacher. Julie tells the Inspector that she talked with Miss Sinclair about a book. Principal Perkins remarks that he found the book on the teacher's school desk that morning and gets permission to return it to the rental store Melvin Wright, "the school's problem boy” and the last known caller on Miss Sinclair, is grilled in secret . . . the evening papers feature the victim’s last letter, addressed to a “Dear George,” who evidently was married . . . then come extras with the news that Hym, Filipino janitor of the apartment house, had vanished the night of the murder! That development was obscured temporarily by news that the police had found on Melvin a gun of the same calibre of that of the muider weapon. The victim's father arrived, inquiring for one Bruce Lloyd, described as the late “Connie’s” fiance. Lloyd appeared for police examination, said the engagement in question had been broken, refused to answer queries concerning the missing "George," and declared he "could not say” where he was on October 20 the night of the murder. The mysterious “George” is identified as one Carrington, also reported to have been a former fiance of "Connie." Julie's father becomes counsel for the handsome Bruce Lloyd. Julie recalls vividly the scene when she last saw “Connie,” a book in one hand, a pen (now missing) in the other. Remembrance of Mrs. Sardoni's spider-web writing is also in her mind, as she goes on with her ’’inside” story: CHAPTER VI The next morning I went to school with these problems still unsolved. The kids were al) talking about Carrington and Melvin. Opinion was pretty much divided, but most everyone thought Melvin a bad <’gg. although very few said outright that i they thought he committed the murder. Carrington was considered more from the gossip angle; several thought his wife might have been the slayer. Carrington’s description, wired the police from down the peninsula where he had been found, fitted that of the frequent visitor, which Mrs. Sardoni ha 1 furnished at this end. He. was t_’l, dark, prosperous, and rather- well, lively. He was baing brought to St. Joseph that day. After school I was in the office ns usual when M-. Perkins came in; he had a book under his arm. “By the way, Julie,” said tc. “would you do an errand fcr maj ’ “Certainly, Mr. Perkins.” “Then please return this book to the lending library nt the hotel, the one called The Book'Shop Corner, you know. Just say it was found | here at school. Here is the fee."' “Yes, sir,” I said. I took the book, j It was the one Miss Sinclair had : talked about. I remembered the light and dark blue wings on the cover, showing it was some sort of guild edition. Then the picture that had bothered me all night tame flashing back. I saw Connie against the sunlighted table, a pen in one hand and this blue-covered book in the other! She had never visited the school again. Who had brought it from her apartment after that afternoon? I turned to Mr. I’crkins, but he was gone. I felt very much excited and very trembly. I was not sure just what I should do. This discover- uJ mine might reveal the

I want to ask him about that peculiar handwriting.” I had decided ’ ot to say anything to anyone about the book. I felt somehow ti nt it w:is too important. Much as I tnuted Dicky, I didn’t like the idea of telling him that bit. The Inspector lived over east of town in a nice little frame house. i His wife was a motherly, pleasant woman with gray hair who invited us into her living room and called her husband. "Well, how do you do,” he said heartily when he entered, “what is new tonight?” “Inspector,” I said, “I think I have thought of something more that might interest you. Could I talk to you a minute?” “Why, surely, surely. Come in here. Mother and the boy friend will excuse us.” He led me across the hall to a smaller room, evidently his study. 1 could feel Dicky gazing after me wistfully. I felt somewhat important, but mostly just scared. 1 began to wish I had let Dad come instead. “Now. what is it?” Mr. O'Brien asked when we were both seated. . “Well,” 1 began, leaning my elbows on the desk. “I am not sure I I ought to tell you this. I am really I rather scared because I may get I into an awful lot of trouble, and ;1 may get someone else into it.” “I wouldn’t worry a lot about that,” he said comfortably. “Just roll me what you are thinking about.” “You remember," I said, taking a deep breath, “that you asked me what conversation I could recall having with Miss Sinclair that afternoon.” “Yes." “I told you she talked about a . book, a biography of a man who wrote Moby Dick." i “Yes.” the Inspector w.T . tiling.

"If she had lent it to the teachers across the hall, there is no reason why they should have sneaked it down to her desk at school. Melvin is hardly the type who would have taken it to read. So someone else must have been there that evening that we don’t know about!” I finished triumphantly “How many people have you told this story to?” “No one but you.” “Not your father? Not <ie boy friend?” “No. On my word of honor." “Miss Julie, if you continue this discretion, you will be a rare woman. Suppose you keep silent a little longer. And if you think of anything more, come to see me.” “I will.
