|''HIGH SCHOOL TRAGEDY" by MAXINE C A NTY

SYNOPSIS Jrlie Martin, at 17, becomes an “inside” observer of the police investigation of the murder of her former French teacher, the pretty Constance (“Connie") Sinclair, who had been shot dead in her apartment by a party thus far unknown. Julie is on the "inside because after school hours she is office assistant to Principal Jerkins and the latter has detailed her as stenographer for Police Inspector O'Brien, who is busy examining suspects and others. Among those questioned, or wanted for questioning, are Julie herself and her boy friend. Dicky Ward, who was with her when she returned a pen to “Connie” a few hours before the tragedy; Mrs. Sardoni, manager of the apartment house in which “Connte” was killed; Principal Perkins; Melvin Wright, the school’s “problem boy”; Hym. a Filipino janitor, who had been discharged for insolence to “Connie” and who was missing since her death; Bruce Lloyd, her former fiance, who refuses to say where he was on the murder night; and George Carrington, also reported to be a former suitor, who is now married. The latter seems to have a perfect alibi for the fata! night but he admits to the police that his wife has been missing since that evening. Julie’s father has become counsel for Lloyd. The authorities are anxious to find Mrs. Carrington. Meanwhile Inspector O'Brien urges Julie to keep her eyes and ears open but her mouth shut tight. He appoints her his confidential assistant at the high school, laughingly calling himself "Sherlock Holmes” O’Brien and Julie, his "charming Miss Watson.” Dicky Ward is jealous of the handsome Bruce Lloyd who is invited to the Martin home for dinner, immediately after which all present are stirred by the news that Hym the Filipino has been found in San Francisco. The harmless looking little Oriental readily tells the police that he discovered Miss Sinclair dead when he called to ask her to use her influence so he could keep his job He said he approached her door twice that night but did not try to enter because she had visitors. The third time, she did not answer his knock so he opened the unlocked door and fled the tragic scene in a panic of fear over being suspected. He was locked up pending further inquiries. Meanwhile. Bruce Lloyd avoids arrest by agreeing to stay at the home of his counsel, Attorney Martin, whose high school son, Allen, detests Lloyd because Allen is so grieved over his favorite teacher’s fate. Allen’s sister. Julie, however, still has faith in the handsome Bruce who finally tells the Martins the story of his romance with “Connie.” He says he met her the previous summer when she was staying with her Aunt Hannah at a lodge near Carmel's artist colony. Bruce had abandoned art for salesmansnip out still liked to paint. So he was drawn to the vicinity of Carmel where "Connie" was stopping. prior to her debut as a teacher. Julie is describing Lloyd’s account of his first sight of “Connie” on the tennis court of the picturesque lodge. CHAPTER XI It must have been then that he fell in love with Connie, for an older artist would have delighted more .n Aunt Hannah, with her lavenuer hair and her lavender suit. Wnqt the secret of the hair was, Comm I never found out. Aunt Hannah yet- ( petually wore the lavender shader in summer, the purple in winter, and always her hair, origins.ly. white, carried that lavender tinge. It softened the expression <f her' j restless, active, black eyes, and it emphasized the delicate coloring 0, I her still smooth checks. She now regarded her niece disapprovingly. i I "I should think,” she announcer!. I ' “that if it is necessary y,,,- i . I indulge in such strenuov: game:., it would be more appropriate i-- ’! you to recover your streng' I '. jou. | appearance, and, your cc-mp • < ■' p s your own room.” Connie rose immediately, a v small figure very much dish- '.let.. “You are quite right. Aunt Hani"!. ; I’ll see you in an hour or so." As she crossed the patio, Brue" gave up the idea of the first painting. and wished he could capture her figure in action. She walked always as if she were about to break into a run, or rather as if she would at any moment unfold wings and skim the ground. This was a qualr ity peculiar to her, a quality which he found to be both physical and mental. They met that night. The place was very informal; people who came there came for some time and came often. It was not hard to find someone who knew Aunt Hannah and therefore could introduce Bruce. “How do you do,” nodded Aunt Hannah. “Good evening. Won’t you join us?” invited Connie.

•‘Thank you; I hoped you would ask me.” “How long have you been here, Mr. Lloyd?” Aunt Hannah was direct in her questioning. “About a week this time, Miss Sinclair.” “You have been here before?" "Yes, several times this summer." “Young people are not usually so fond of this quiet place.” “That is why I like it, Miss Sinclair, because it is quiet.” “Hmmm." Connie inierrupted the flow of questions. “You are from the East, I know. Tell us about your home.” "Philadelphia, do you know it?” “Slightly."

Bruce arranged a flower co«e >ith Connie . . . "If »ou have to back out entirely, wear yellow” , . .

“My parents and sisters live there. It is lovely ; green and quiet, I always think of it. But San Francisco enthralls me. It is so very quaint. I always smile when I see the nvotorman get out to swing the cable car around on the turntable. It is as if you were watching a scene from a book.” “And yet it is as if there were no other city in the world that ever had been like it,” Connie remarked. “True. It is one of the cosmopolitan spots of the world,” Bruce conceded. “I an surprised you arc enthusiastic about cities. I thought you liked quiet,” commented Aunt Hannah gruffly. “At times, Miss Sinclair,” laughed Bruce. “Some of us are changeable.” “No dcubt,” was her dry remark. By dint of Aunt Hannah’s direct questions and Connie’s kindly attempts to draw out his interests, they’ soon knew most of the surface ' details of his life. In spite of the I older Miss Sinclair's brusque tone, he seemed to like him. He was very Ihandsomt in white flannels and dinI icr jacket, very charming in his I deferential attitude. As the music I >f 'he Cuban orchestra began in the I hotel lounge, Aunt Hannah rose. “I am going to my rooms. I shall i expect to see you, Connie, at ten|thirty. Goodnight, young man.” This was her way of granting I Conn:.- permission to remain below. | ;e dan-.-e’to the haunting strains of .:he m :. and to enjoy the charm of ' Llo.-i-J young man. I \’.'iey anced without much talk- ■ . ig. Corm.e as light and airy as her . . " g blue chiffon. Bruce ■ in t an aura of contentment. Te:. tl ity came very soon. "J am . d even an old-fashioned . r i-./e-■ 1 i." smiled Connie. “She ' 'a ast until the clock struck “ And most ycu go?" “f am air.'id so.” “Put triivnvrow—T shall see you “D. if you like.” “F- r '."T.mr. t':i?n, at eleven!” “V ; V "til eleven,” an J with her I quiet, gliding movements she was k“- e- ’ The nevi day Connie and Bruce ■ played tennis, ate lunch, and went swim; ir.g (og--thci-. At dinner that 1 evening Ann: Hannah said, “Sit i dow n if ’ ir. ; i.-. when he stopped • at their i.'h- » r- following day ■ this pru-’ a-v augmented oy an auto d: iv» i-< •' a : irseback ride. i The third *rtv some variation as Bruc* had ar. engagement With

friends at Carmel. Connie had tea with Aunt Hannah in the patio. “Where's that young man today?” “In Carmel, Auntie.” “Hmm. Be back?” “Yes, late tonight.” “I suppose your going to this special dance tomorrow night." “Bruce asked me to, if you don’t object, of course.” “I can get along without you, I guess. I saw a dress of that jade green you have always been so fond of in the Dress Shop this morning. I told the girl you'll be in to try it on, and if you liked it to charge it to me.” “Aunt Hannah! You’re a darling!”

Miss Sinclair shook herself free . of Connie’s embrace, smoothing imaginary wrinkles from her blouse. "Nothing of the sort,” she grunted; “I just have some pride in my relatives’ appearance.” The dress was the weapon which felled Bruce’s pretense of casual interest. Connie was lovely in jade green. Her hair glowed like copper and the swirling skirts danced as she winged her way across the ballroom. Bruce kissed her that night, and made plans to paint her picture in the jade dress. The picture, however, was the beginning of trouble, for it changed Aunt Hannah’s attitude. A rising young business man with a very goixi family in Philadelphia was one thing; a potential artist with fool ideas and a wealthy father was another. From tjit first conception Aunt Hannah travelled to the second, all in the space of time that it took Connie to tell her about the contemplated portrait. She snorted, she grunted, she barked, she went through all the barnyard language that in human beings spells disgust. She ended by forbidding Connie to have anything more to do with Bruce. This was all that was needed to transform a summer romance into an ardent, serious passion. They met at the beach, at the riding stables, on the tennis courts, when ever Aunt Hannah was engaged. Connie must have had a few qualms about deceiving the old lady, but it was not hard to overcome them when she pictured Bruce’s Viking self and concentrated on her own love for him. They really came to have fun over the situation. “Look here,” he proposed, “we ought to have some way of telling each other at breakfast whether we can meet that day or not For instance, tomorrow we will ide; I’ll meet you at the stables some time between 10 and 11. But ’ tomorrow morning Aunt Hannah plans that time for you, then you could let me know at breakfast.” “Swell! But how?” “Well, suppose if you can make it, you wear white flowers pinned ■on your dree If you cannot make it as we planned, but will have some : other time free during the day, wear : pink. Taen I’ll contrive some way : to spies io you, and you tell me the : hour and place. If she has you all I sewed up and you have to back out ' entirely, wear yellow.” 1 "O. K. This is getting to be reahv exciting.” (To Be Continued) 1 C»cHWbt. list. Kim Fegt«sr»9 SyndlegU. Inc.
