' The Silver Rood mystery" P* by Lewis Allen Browne

SYNOPSIS Harlan Stevenson, a writer of crime mysteries, overhears Gerard Montieth tell his niece, Mary, that unless shr marries Dave Forrest, Stevenson's brother-in-law, he will leave her penniless. Montieth possesses millions. Stevenson catches the name “Griswold,” as being some man Mary thinks she wants. Later, Stevenson and his wife Sally, discuss the incident and arrive at the conclusion that Griswold is the nephew of Nate, Montieth’s superintendent. CHAPTER II Time always passes quickly of a summer afternoon at Rookwood. Some of us were playing contract, others were drifting about as it pleased them. Wally Foxcroft came over to our table and looked about. "Mary’s not here?” He said it as a question. “Haven’t seen her in an hour, Wally.” I looked about. Dave was in the tennis court again, taking on both of the Townsend girls. Mary wasn’t in sight. • Major Forrest, at the next table, leaned over to me “Did Gerard say he would be down, Harley?" he * asked. I explained about his headache and his plan to try and sleep it off and come down later. “Wish he would hurry—we could make up another table then.” At five Mason and one of the - house men came out with cocktails and some of those silly, paper-thin sandwiches. I saw Wally take a eoektail and walk off the terrace, “ calling cheerfully, "Come and get 3 it” He was talking to Mary who was coming across the lawn along the path that led from the stile. They walked back together. I looked at Dave, coming from the 2 court with the Townsend girls. He Z went over and joined Mary and • Wally. All three seemed to be quite -gay. 2 After all, a man has to be prac»tical, and it occurred to me then that »it would be too bad if* Dave didn’t - get Mary, because all in good time “ Vie great Montieth estate would go «, to her. Montieth had a sister, pos- - sessed of twice the wealth he had. “ This sister, and his niece, were his * only relatives. ■» •. Mason came out the side door to - the terrace where we had the card • tables, and made directly for my 2 father-in-law, in the dignified, im- •. passive manner that never left him. - “The telephone, sir,” Mason said. "Bother. Here, deal for me, “ Sally," he said to my wife, and fpllewetj Mason back into the house. It didn’t seem more than a second before I saw him at the door again, hurrying out to the table. I sensed - that something was wrong. “Sorry, you will have to re-ar--7 range the players for a while, Sally, I can’t be with you,” he said. “ He signalled me to come along and “spoke to Dave. 1 We all three got inside when Dave, who had sharp eyes and, like -myself, could see that something was wrong, asked, quietly, “What has happened, father?” "Gerard Montieth is dead!” “What!” I exclaimed. Dave, always more phlegmatic, asked, "Who says so?” “His butler, just called me. He has sent for a doctor. Go out and bring Wally in, Dave.” “Wally?” Dave was puzzled. "Whatcan Wally do? Whyshouldn’t I be the one to tell Mary?” X “Because,” Major Forrest said, ' with poorly suppressed excitement, 1 “Wally is our county prosecutor, ] and Gerard Montieth was murdered!” < When Maior Forrest told Dave

and myself that Gerard Montieth f had been murdered, Dave went out, ] without comment, to bring Wallace t Foxcroft in. “Did you get any particulars?” I j asked. “Not many. Davison says that he i glanced out on the library porch to . see if Montieth was still sleeping, and saw that he had half fallen from the glider hammock. He went > in to help him back and saw that he . was bleeding from a wound in the . chest and that he believed he was already dead. He ” “Did you tell him not to touch i anything?” • —T-T, Z’X —

"Naturally, Harley,” my father-in-law assured me. “He said that he had first telephoned Doctor Sutton and then here. He had lifted the body back to the glider he discovered the wound. He covered him with a steamer rug.” “Too bad, but it was the natural thing to do ” Dave came back followed by Foxcroft “Are you sure, Major? Tell me what you learned,” Foxcroft said as he stepped in. Major Forrest told him what he had told me. “We’ll go right up—Doctor Sutton is also the county medical examiner,” Foxcroft said, starting out. “Just a moment, Wally,” Dave said, “I will tell mother to tell the guests ” “Not yet.” Foxcroft interrupted. “Have her tell the guests that Mr. Montieth died suddenly,” I suggested, “but you will have to tell Mary, Dave.” “Go ahead," Dave ordered, “I w-ill be right up.” We always said “up” to the Montieth place because it was on higher ground than Rookwood, and the path across lots was up hilt They turned to go. “Go to Mrs. Forrest, Mason,” the major ordered, “she will need you. The guests will depart. There has been a er trouble up at Mr. Montieth’s.” Mason bowed and said, calmly, “Davison told me, sir.” “What did h« tell vou?” 1 »m

i afraid I spoke rather too sharply. , but Mason, considering me one of : the family, did not change his expression. [ “He said he feared Mr. Montieth was dead, sir.” > “Was that all?” i His eyebrows seemed to lift , slightly as he looked at me. “That was all, sir.” I went with Dave to his mother and called my wife over, whispering to her what had happened. "Harley!” she gasped. "Keep calm, Sally.” “You were the last one to see him!”

“How about whoever did it—if it t wasn’t suicide?” Sally had no time to reply because > her mother turned to her then and > Dave brought Mary over. 1 “Mary ’’ She looked at him as he hesitated, 1 then looked at us. “Dave —what has happened? Is • it aoout Uncle Gerry?” she cried. I watched her sharply. I had gone > back for that purpose, instead of go--1 ing on up to the Montieth house, because of something I had seen that ■ afternoon. Dave nodded and hesitated again. “He died suddenly—just now,” Mrs. Forrest said, softly. “Died? Uncle Gerry died? He ■ had only a slight headache, such i as ” Then Mary Montieth began to cry, softly. I started up the path with her. My wife and her mother would explain to the guests, only , they wouldn’t, at that time, explain that murder was suspected. We didn’t speak until we got to the stile, an affair that turned on a pivot. I started to stand aside and let her through, then changed my ' mind and went through first, deftly, and unseen, removing a bit of cloth from one arm of the stile. “There is more to tell, Mary,” 1 said, as I slipped the bit of cloth into my pocket, “another shock. Your uncle, Davison telephoned, was murdered.” (To be continued) Copyrtlbt by L«wla Alles Browne Dlitr|buted by Kim f«*irw Syndicate !n<

SYRuraia The immense estate of millionaire Gerard Montieth at South Cove adjoins the lesser estat* of Major Forrest, whose son-in-law, Harley Stevenson, a writer of crime mystery novels, tells this story. Mary, niece of Montieth, does not want to marry David Forrest. Montieth tells her he will disinherit her if she does not marry David. At an afternoon party on the Forrest grounds word comes that Montieth has been murdered. While County Prosecutor Foxcroft, a guest at the Forrest party, goes to investigate, Harley breaks the news to Mary. CHAPTER 111 Mary stopped in her tracks, the last bit of color leaving her face. “No! Oh, no, no, he couldn't have been. Davison must be hysterical.” Then she did something peculiar. She stood still and looked all about the grounds, back at the stile, over to the sunken Italian garden hedged thickly with shrubs, across to the old stone gate cottage—all about. “Tell me all about it, Mr. Stevenson,” she said, as we moved on. I told her all that I knew. "Do you know of anyone who would want your uncle out of the way?” She looked at me quickly when I asked this. “No, of course no one in his right mind could have any reason to kill Uncle Gerry.” We didn’t say any mor a. I took her in the front door. A car was turning into the driveway. “Doctor Sutton, I think. Davison telephoned him first. I wouldn’t come out to the library porch, Mary.” Mrs. Johnson, the housekeeper, was in the hall. She had seen us coming. “Come Mary—up to your room, for a while,” she urged. Mary hesitated and looked at me. “You can be of no help—it will be too much for you. I will see you in a little while,” I told her. She went upstairs with Mrs. Johnson. Davison came into the hall. “Bring the doctor out to the porch,” I said, ahd went into the library that opened to this porch. The figure on the glider was covered with a steamer rug, as Davison had • telephoned us he had done. Major Forrest and Foxcroft were on the porch The Major was standing on the steps, looking down at them. “There would be no footprints, because of the gravel walk,” I said. “There might be, Harley, if a man 1 walked over the grass instead of 1 along the path.” That was true, but the closest ex- i amination failed to show a trace. Foxcroft was standing a few i paces from the glider, taking in s every detail of the little porch that | was open to the scuth, but glassed < in at the east end, and almost hid- < den with honeysuckle and climbing i roses. i “Out there, sir,” we heard Davi- 1 son say, and Doctor Sutton came in. He was startled to see the steamer ug over the figure and removed it 1 at once. < “Look here—this is death by vio- 1 lence.” He turned to the butler. 1 “Why didn’t you tell me?” he de- i manded. 1 “I didn’t want to waste a moment, sir, in words. I hoped he might be i saved.” The doctor proceeded to open the : dead man’s shirt. He made a quick i examination. 1 “He hasn’t been dead more than an hour and a half or two hours,” < the doctor said. “Did you find the : weapon?” He looked at Davison and at Foxcroft. They shook their heads. I “Peculiar wound, right to the heart, indications are that it was a i thin stiletto; the autopsy will deter- i mine that. I must send for Evarts.” 1 Evarts, I learned then, but did not t know before, was the coroner. 1 “Look here, Wally,” I murmured to Foxcroft, “there are a flock of t

servants about; someone must have seen or heard something.” “That’s right, Harley. Say, will you help me? I know that your crime mystery yarns are all theory, but you did put in a lot of time as a private detective, practical work.” "Nothing would please me better.” "You will have to be on the level, Harley. I know you are friendly here, and you know my feelings toward Mary, but nothing must prevent us from revealing every truth we uncover.” "I understand. I probably know a few things, already, that will make your eyes pop.” “As soon as this? You couldn’t. Come now, Harley, no theories.” “Things I learned before this crime, this afiernoon. I was talking with Gerard Montieth about half past two this afternoon.” “Well—who’s under suspicion?”

In IJ- ! ’ rATOd I i bAwWV Si -■ W Y ' “Blood!” Dr. Sutton exclaimed. "Fresh blood, just drying."

“All the servants here, Mary, even myself, since I saw him a few hours ago." “Mary ? Don’t be getting nonsensically dramatic!” “If you want me to work with you and your county sleuths, Wally,” I said, “at least listen to whatever I present, before you make any decisive comment. Mary was to be cut off, penniless, if she refused to marry Dave Forrest. She knew it—she was told so this afternoon by Montieth. She ” “Whew! Are you sure?” “I will tell you how sure I am, later. Then there is a man named Griswold; he lives in Kingsbury. Mary is, I have reason to believe, in love with him, or thinks she is. She went to Kingswold college, that’s in Kingsbury." Wallace Foxcroft stared at me in undisguised amazement. “I don’t understand why you persist in being a poor novelist when you might be a second Sherlock Holmes.” “Chance—things I happened to overhear and to see—pure chance and luck," I assured him. “Evarts is on his way," Doctor Sutton announced. Foxcroft took the telephone then and got in touch with Sergeant Harper of the local station of State Police. As he was waiting to get ' the call through he said to me, softly, “Get the butler here.” Davison was waiting when he finished his call.

"What do the eervants know?” Foxcroft asked. “That Mr. Montieth died suddenly, sir.” "You didn’t tell them —they think it is a natural death ?” “Yes, sir. I felt it out of place for me to tell them any more.” "You’ve a good head. Let them think so for the present, and see that none of them leave. If any try to leave, stop them or let someone in authority know. Some of the State Police will be here shortly. Oh yes, did you see anyone or hear anything?” “No sir. Mr. Montieth was sleeping. I went up to my room for a brief rest and my pipe. In my quar- ; ter*, I smoke a pipe.” “Someone could have entered?" "I am afraid so, sir, but no one i ever has entered unannounced during the twelve years I have been here.” o —r ir 1,

“Mr. Montieth was alive v.hen I left, Davison?” I asked. “Oh yes sir; he didn’t take to the hammock for a half hour after that." My father-in-law came in to us, in the library. “You boys have sharper eyes,” he i said. “Why not see if there are any signs that someone came through the library?" “We will, Major,” Foxcroft replied. We began looking about. The major sat in the comfortable swivel chair at Montieth’s desk and watched us as we looked about. He j stared around here and there and suddenly cried out. He pointed to a spot on the wall, a tiny red streak running down from a silver cross, or “rood" as it was called. Doctor Sutton, nearest, put his finger on the streak. “Blood!” he exclaimed. “Fresh blood, just drying.” I took my handkerchief and, with it, lifted the silver ornament from I its little hook, but as I did so I dropped it. We all stared down at it in amazement The fall had released some spring and an ugly, narrow four-inch blade protruded from the bottom of the cross.
