"The Silver rood Mystery" by Lewis Allen Browne'>

SYNOPSIS The immense estate of millionj aire Gerard Montieth at South j Cove adjoins the lesser estate 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. County Prosecutor Foxcroft, a guest at the Forrest party rushes up with Dave Forrest, his father, the major, and Harlan Stevenson, the writer son-in-law. No weapon is found at first. Then a spot of drying blood on the wall under a silver rood reveals that this supposed ornament possesses a hidden blade, which is blood* stained. CHAPTER IV I picked up the silver rood with my handkerchief and placed it on a sheet of white paper, covering it gently with another sheet of paper. “Sergeant Harper can have his fingerprint expert get busy on it,” I said. Foxcroft lifted the paper and stared at it “How about the blood-stained blade. Doctor?” he asked. Doctor Sutton examined it, and also the slight stain on the wall, and said that the blood was scarcely dried. I “Could Montieth have stabbed himself with this, closed the blade, hung it back in place and got out 1 to that glider hammock?” Foxcroft asked. “Nonsense, he couldn’t have walked two steps or turned around, much less close the blade and hang it back on the wall.” “Murder —not suicide,” Major 1 Forrest observed, as though talk-1 ng to himself. “There isn’t one chance in a nillion that the fatal wound was nade by any instrument other than ;hia,” I pointed out, “and whoever did it was familiar with everything aere.” I called for Davison, lifted the iaper and showed him the weapon. He stared at it thoughtfully. How .he devil do these butlers go about with no more expression than a robot? He glanced at the wall where it ■ tiad hung. “I had no idea it was a weapon, sirs,” nc said. “What do you know about it, Davison?” I asked. “Mr. Montieth has had me clean it a number of times when it tarnished and didn’t look good. He told me to handle it gently. He called it a rood—it is a sort of crucifix—the Figure being engraved rather than embossed." “Did he tell you any more about it?” Major Forrest spoke, this time. “Not much, sir. He did mention once that it was made in Switzerland. Might I ask where you found it, sir?” “Hanging on the wall,” I informed him. “With the blade out—sir?” I shook my head. “I dropped it and the blade sprung out. A bit of blood on the wall that dripped from it led us to the discovery. You are quite sure you didn’t know that this silver rood was a disguised weapon?” “Quite, sir, and I have cleaned it several times—always,” he added, “at Mr. Montieth’s request.” “Say nothing about it,” Foxcroft ordered, dismissing him. Davison bowed and departed. Foxcroft lowered his voice. “Suspicious. All these yeais here, cleaning it, he admits, many * times— ’' “Several times,” I corrected. “ —and he never knew the thing had a blade. Mr. Stevenson drops it and we discover the blade,” Foxcroft finished, unheeding my interruption. “After the fingerprint test we

atlve measure. The United States public health service in Washington announced that 620 new cases were reported throughout the nation in the week ended Aug. 28. The greatest number of new cases in a single week this year. In the previous week there had been 499 new cases reported and in the corresponding week of last year there were only 161 cases. Dr. Bundesen. who ordered opening of Chicago schools delayed last week when the number of new cases increased, refused to anticipate what rising temperatures, after a cool week-end in the middle west, would have on spread of the disease. .

will experiment with it. Who will Sergeant Harper bring with him?” I asked. “Three or four, and a fingerprint man.” “I am going down to the gate," I said, “and have him put one man on guard.” I didn’t go directly down the drive, but cut across to the stile. The neatly kept narrow gravel path gave no signs of footprints. Even those of Mary and myself could not be identified. I looked around. A little to the east of the stile in a hollow, was a small, old fashioned

garden, screened by blue firs. I knew there were benches there and went over to it The same neat paths were there. Then I found something that I didn’t expect. I had thought it possible that Mary migfit have been there this afternoon. She stared straight at the place when I told her that her uncle had been murdered. Mary smoked straw-tipped cigarettes, at least she had been smoking them this afternoon. I was in this little garden close, looking for the butts of straw-tipped cigarettes. There were none, but I did find a cigar butt! It wasn’t tossed into the path. It had been placed on the edge of one of the cement benches. The cigar had been no more than half smoked. Certainly, Mary did not smoke cigars. I put it in an envelope and started back. A car swerved into the driveway and I saw someone dart out of the driveway behind a group of tall Japanese yews, and stand still. The car, I noted, belonged to the State police. The person who darted back to hide was Mary! She was intent watching the driveway and did not see me until I was quite near to her, coming across the grass. “Oh!” she exclaimed, and then she smiled. “You startled me, Mr. Stevenson,” she said. “You will only distress yourself, Mary, coming out like this. You should stay in your room.” “I—l couldn't It is all so terrible, I felt stifled in there.” “Reporters may come. You don’t want to be here for them to pester you." “No.” We started walking up the drive.

Atlantic coasts followed Chicago i In postponing school openings. “Our week-end figures prove I conclusively that we have not yet reached our peak, in spite of the cooler weather,” Dr. Bundesen said. Health records show that the disease increases during the hot months of late summer and does not begin to decline until temperatures drop, usually late In September.

“What have you learned?" she asked. “Absolutely nothing,” I lied. "What about Davison?” “Davison? Why, Mr. Stevenson, he has been Uncle Gerry's butler here ever since I was a little girt You can’t—Oh, it s absurd.” “He was here, you see,” I spoke gravely, “all of us are, to a degree, under suspicion.” “Us? Me?” I nodded. “But I was over at Dave’s home, and so were you.” “Yes, but—”

“In fact, I left home before you You went around to see Uncle Gerry and I cut across the grounds.” "Os course. That leaves you out, doesn’t it.” "I couldn’t have been under suspicion—how could I? Uncle Gerry was all I bad. I loved him.” Yes, I was glad that I had disarmed her. “As for me, Davison states that Mt. Montieth didn’t take to the glider hammock for a nap until I had been gone a half hour.” “As if you could be under suspicion!” “How about the servants?” “We have had all of them a long time—that is, except the upstairs girl. She has been here only a few weeks. Her name is Nola—Nola something, I don't recall.” “And you are siAe you know of no one who hated your uncle?” “No one.” “Or someone who might benefit with his passing?" Mary stopped and stared at me, then. We had reached the veranda steps. “As far as I know, I shall inherit Uncle Gerry’s estate. I suppose you could say that I would boneftt by his death. If you think—” "I wasn’t thinking of you, Mary.” “Who?” “That is something we have to find out. Stick to your rooms upstairs for a while. The—er—there will have to be an autopsy and they have to take him away as seen as Doctor Sutton and the coroner give permission.” Mary shuddered and went in, through the great hall and up the stairs, without a word.
