"The Silver Rood Mystery'' * by Lewis Allen Browne

r*.. —- SYNOPSIS Gerard Montieth, wealthy, aged 50, is killed mid-afternoon on the library porch of his home. His niece, Mary, was at a lawn party at the Forrest place, adjoining. Forrest’s son-in-law, Stevenson, a writer of crime mystery novels, is asked to help solve the crime. He learns that Montieth was killed by a trick knife, disguised as a silver rood, that hung on the library wall. It was hanging there when they got to the place and the dead man was out on the porch. He could never have walked in and replaced it. Mary, it is learned, was told by her uncle that she must marry Forrest’s son, David, or be disinherited. She left the party that afternoon. Howard Griswold, whom Mary secretly loves, was also on the Montieth grounds. A new maid, Nola Morin tells of seeing Brauman, the gardener, peering through the screen door. Nola was seen in the library about the time of Montieth’s death. She claims she went there to ask him for a raise. She had formerly been an actress. CHAPTER VIA “I thought she wasn't much Like a maid.” Foxcroft said. “She’s got a crook’s eyes,” Harper growled. Foxcroft laughed. "She will bear watching. Perhaps it’s just a hunch, but she will bear watching,” I declared. “Sounds fishy—her yarn that she came down to strike the Big Boss for more money,” Sergeant Harper said. "I don’t know about that,” Foxcroft argued. "After all, she used to be an actress, she didn’t know the ways of up-stairs maids, and she was used to going to the Head Man, in the show business.” ' “Right,” I agreed, "and, being an actress and knowing that she was a swell looker, she would thiak she might get a raise, or even get to be Montieth’s pet.” "What makes you think so?” Foxcroft asked, showing anger for the first time. “In a nice way,” I added, hastily. Then I said, “V’a must check up on her story of how she got the position here.” “Well check up on everything,” •Harper growled. “It’s an inside job, you can’t deny that. Who else would, .know about that trick knife looking dike a crucifix—what did you call Jt?” “Miss Montieth told me that Mon•iieth called it a rood. That is a rather old-time name for a crucifix. Specifically,” I explained, “a rood is to crucifix over the altar cloth in a •church, but it is used in a wider sense. Many are made of large crystals of semi-precious stones—” » “Never mind that stuff. Here’s the point,” Harper interrupted, 2‘that is no real crucifix—or rood, as «you call it. It's a knife—a wicked •little knife. Now how the devil could any stranger, any robber or yegg or tiobo, happening along, know that ■in the library, a silver rood on the wall was a knife?” “ “That's so,” Foxcroft agreed. -> "Not necessarily,” I argued. “It is possible that some one acquainted "With objects of art may have seen pothers like that and recognized it -Jor what it really was." • “Not a chance,” Harper growled. "How about the niece?” “ “I am convinced that Miss Montieth was thoroughly surprised when •she discovered—when I showed her —that it was a knife.” » “Well, I don’t believe she’d kill ffier uncle, but plenty others might in the know. Let’s have that gardener in here.” —_ !

Foxcroft went out and came back with the man. I have seldom seen a man more nervous. His name, he said, was Peter Brauman. He had been working for Mr. Montieth eight years. “What were you doing, peering into the library porch?” Harper asked. “To see if Mr. Montieth was asleep. Then I do not make a noise to wake him. He has told me to keep the grounds men quiet outside when he sleeps in afternoons.” “What did you see?” “I saw the new maid, the big. good-looker, standing there, and I see her go away. And I see the other man.” “What other man?” Harper demanded. Brauman shrugged his shoulders. “Funny short man, long kind of hair. He was here once before.” “Well, who was he? What did he 1 want. What did he do?” “I don’t know. I said to him the ■ Master was asleep and to keep quiet and he said, sure, he know, he would wait, and he sat there on the step. I went back to the greenhouse.” All sorts of questions could elicit no mor* information from Peter Brauman. We sent for Davison at once. “Describe him, Mr. Stevenson,” Harper said to me. I told him exactly what the gardener had said. “Oh yes, sir—that would probably be the professor,” Davison replied, and addei “If I had not gone to my quarters For a smoke —” He shook his head. "What professor? Did you ever announce him?” I asked. “Yes sir, twice before. Once two weeks ago, and again about three days ago. I believe his card may be in the library now in a drawer where Mr. Montieth often tossed such cards. I would remember it.” I went with him, when Foxcroft winked at me, to get it. He found it readily. The card read: Professor Henri Lardeau ART London—Paris—Florence Zurich—Berlin—Vienna “This,” I said, when I brought it out, “is the queerest card I ever saw—” “I say sir—l beg your pardon!” Davison had hurried in and actually showed a trace of excitement. “What is it, Davison?” I asked. “That card, sir—it made me look about—a painting is gone!” “Painting? Where? Show us,” Foxcroft cried, shrilly. We went to the library. Davison indicated a spot on the wall. There was the unmistakable difference in shade, showing where a picture had been hung. It was a small picture, judging from the mark on the wall, perhaps two feet square. “What sort of a painting? Was it valuable? When did you see it last?” I asked. “It was there this morning. It was the head of a child—Mr. Montieth told me once that it was not valuable. He said that it was an excellent copy of a Van Dyck.” “Only a copy?” Foxcroft asked the butler. “Are you quite sure that Mr. Moi.tieth told you it was only a copy?” "Quite sure, sir,” Davison replied. Foxcroft looked at me, questionmay. "That will be all, for the present, Davison,” I said. After he had gone, Sergeant Harper glared at th* card of “Professor Lardeau.”

“All of them foreign cities, but no addresses. What do you make of it?” he grtgnbled. “You guess,” Foxcroft replied. “My game is law, not art. How about it, Harley ?” “If the little head—and I reeall it now; it never attracted me to any extent—if the little head was a mere copy, as Davison says Mr. Montieth told him it was, then this Professor Henri Lardeau is no art expert at all, or an exceedingly poor one. On the other hand, it is possible that it was a genuine Van Dyck, that Mr. Montieth knew it and only said it was a copy, as a matter of protection.” “Doubtful—not many, not any, I’d guess, would call a masterpiece a copy. They’d be too proud of its ownership.” “A good argument, but many men have many whims. That may or may not be so.” “Was it by that artist feller,” Harper asked “who gave his name to pointed beards?” “Let's see,” I said and turned to the encyclopedia. “It must have been Sir Anthony Van Dyck, 15991644. No telling what the head was, but if it was an original, it is surely worth big money. There are thousands and thousands of copies of the old masters to every original. I’ll give long odds that Mr. Montieth told the truth, it was a copy.” “The heck with that—we've got to find this short, long-haired professor. Even if it was a copy, if he thought it was the real goods he might have sneaked in to steal if and had to kill Montieth when he was discovered,” the sergeant declared. “How would he know that the silver rood was really a stiletto ?” Foxcroft asked. Sergeant Harper scratched his head and sighed. “The more we find out, the less we know—this is the goofiest casj I ever heard of,” he complained. “As I pointed out before,” I told them, “there may be experts in objects of art who would know that some silver roods are disguised stilettos. This Lardeau may be such a man. But if he is as expert as that, wouldn’t he know that the j painting was a copy?” “Perhaps Mr. Montieth may have been mistaken ? Perhaps he thought it was a copy and this Lardeau knew differently,” Foxcroft argued. "How about asking Miss Montieth?” “Os course, Harley.” Foxcroft left to get her. Sergeant Harper took a piece of paper and began writing on it. I walked over to get a lighter and glanced down. He had written: Miss M. Brauman Maid v&k'JlLardeau > Butler Johnson “You have everybody down except me, Sergeant,” I said. He glanced up at me, nodded, and then added my name. “You were with him, so was the butler and th* housekeeper. Davison says Montieth was alive at least half an hour after you left, so that’s that; but we can’t skip a bet.” “Right,” I said, “but we have two things,to consider: not only the opportunity to kill, but a suitable motive. Why should the butler or housekeeper kill the man that wrote their pay checks ?” “You give me a list of all the motives in the world and I’ll solve every crime, Mr. Stevehson.” (To Be Continued) Copyright by L«wii Allen Browne •tetr!buted by King Feature* Syndicate, lot.

SYNOPSIS Gerard Montieth, wealthy, aged 50, is killed mid-afternoon on the library porch of his home. His : niece. Mary, was at a lawn party at the Forrest place, adjoining. Forrest's* son-in-law, Stevenson, a writer of crime mystery novels, is asked to help solve the crime. He ; learns that Montieth was killed by ! a trick knife, disguised as a silver | rood, that hung on the library wall. It was hanging there when'they got to the place and the dead man was • out on the porch. He could never have walked in and replaced it. Mary, it is learned, was told by her uncle that she must marry Forrest's son, David, or be disinherited. She left the party that afternoon. Howard Griswold, whom Mary secretly loves, was also on the Montieth grounds. A Professor Lardeau was seen in the grounds. He is an art dealer. A painting of no apparent value is missing. CHAPTER IX Foxcroft returned with Mary. She looked at me appealingly as she entered. I guessed that she was wondering if I had told them about Howard Griswold. “Mary,” Foxcroft said, “look about the library and se« if anything is missing.” Mary looked first at us. I thought she was clever in doing this. She thought we might be staring in the direction where the object was missing. But we were looking at her. She looked around the room several times. “The furniture is here—is it a small object? I don’t <e how ’’ She walked across the room and • pointed at the spot where the paint- ! ing had been hanging. "Where is the Van Dyck copy?” she asked. “We don't know, Mary, but we think we know who took it. What do you know about it?” Foxcroft i asked. She wheeled, her eyes wide with excitement, drew up a chair to the end of the library table and sat i down. “Was the man you suspect of tak- ' ing it, quite short, with long hair and pince nez and a black ribbon?” she asked. Sergeant Harper grunted with . surprise and sat up straight Fox- ; croft and myself exchanged puzzled glances. “He was short and had long hair; I don’t know about the glasses and ' ribbon. Who is he, Mary?” “That I don’t know. It was only • a few days ago that I saw him in the { library with Uncle Gerry. They came out on the library porch and this odd-appearing man had that old painting.” "Where were you?” Harper's voice gave a hint of suspicion. Foxcroft scowled at him. Mary caught it and flashed him an angry glance. “I was getting some clusters of climbing roses, for the luncheon table. I glanced at the man because he was odd looking and seemed to be excited as he examined the picture.” “Did you overhear any conversation?” I asked her. “Not intentionally. I am not an eavesdropper, Mr. Stevenson.” This made me squirm. It reminded me of what I had overheard between Mary and her uncle not so many hours before this. “Oh come, Mary,” Foxcroft pleaded, “we are trying to solve this thing. lam sure—er “Sorry.” Mary looked at me and smiled. “I did overhear a little. Let me think Oh yes, the little man said something about twentyfive thousand dollars.” “What?” Harper exclaimed. “That was the sum.” Mary was quite calm again. “Uncle Gerry laughed. I heard the word “nonsense” and something about ‘copy’ and ‘not worth three hundred’.” “Was that all ?” Harper asked. Mary nodded. “At luncheon Uncle Gerry spoke of him. He called him a fat little fool and said that he ould have cheated him out of a lot f money He said that the man evidently thought his Van Dyck copy to be genuine. He said the painting was given him years ago as a reward of merit.”

years ago came to New Orleani from Greece. and started in the first grade of grammar school. He started to school with no • knowledge of English. He started i with the A B C's. His little class j mates mad* fun of him and laughj ed openly when he stumbled over ■ begluuer’s words Jn his readers. !

He also was awarded • a gold belt buckle for making the 1 highest average in the school. 1 This year he is feature editor'

I “Are you sure?" i exclaimed. I Mary regarded me with surprise, i because I had leaped to my feet ! when she said that. “Why yes, Mr. Stevenson. 1 am positive that he said the picture was 1 a copy, that it wasn’t worth much, and that it was given to him years , ago as a reward of merit. I asked him what he had merited.” “What did he say to that?” “He laughed and said it was nothing worth discussing. That meant that he wouldn't talk about it. I knew him so well that I asked no more questions." “This don’t seem to be getting us anywhere. We ought to be out after that professor. He looks like th* mu, i 'iti-.iu.il!! i.rnin'.riiHnidiii'i'ir

party we want most,” Sergeant Harper said. “It may get us somewhere. Sergeant,” I told him, and turned to Mary. “Do you remember what you i told me about that silver rood 7” 7 ! asked. ! “I told you all 1 knew about it.' ' She shuddered. “I didn’t know that it was a weapon. I supposed it to ' be just what it was: a sort of orna ment, a silver rood.” 1 “I know; but you told me some- I thing else about it—something you I said, that Mr. Montieth told you." | 1 “Why yes! Oh—how strang»! I i ‘ never would have connected it. Uncle 1 Gerry once told me that th« silver • rood was given to him as a rewai i of merit.” "What’s that?” Foxcroft exclaimed. He got the connection at 1 once. Sergeant Harper was trying to understand what we were driving I at. “The silver rood, Mr. Montieth • once said, was given to him as a reward of merit The stolen paint- ■ ing, he also said, only a few days i ago, was given to him as a reward of merit!” I “I’ll—be—danged!” Harper ex- ■ claimed. “A supposed art object given to Mr. Montieth as a reward of merit, years ago, was used as a weapon to kill him. A painting, given him • years ago as a reward of merit, is stolen from the wall the same day. What do you make of it?” ■ They stared at me. Mary brushed her hand across her forehead and said, “It is uncanny, but I cannot make any sense out of it.” “Nor L” Harper agreed. “There must be some connection,” Foxcroft pointed out. “It looks to me,” I said, “like a safe bet that the man who stole one object that was a reward ot merit •to Mr. Montieth, would know aboet

another object that was also • reward of merit.” “Sure!” Harper banged the tab)*. “He would know that the silver rood on the wall was a dagger. He could use it, slip the hidden blade back, hang it on the wall again and go away, feeling that the weapon would never be found.” We thanked Mary and she was about to go when Davison came with .. telegram for her. She opened it and read it. standing in the library doorway. We watched her keenly. She must have felt that we wanted to know about it, for she placed the telegram on the table. “It is from Aunt Alice—Mrs. Stapleton,” she said, “I wired her as ’ i d n’iinkiiiim’l’'

soon as I learned about—Uncle Gerry. She is in Chicago.” “Which aunt?” I asked. “The only one I have, Uncle I Gerry's sister. She is flying on at I once.” I “Gcod. she can tell us many thing* about her brother, I am sure. Now Mary, keep all the servants right, on as usual. If any insist on i leaving, don’t argu-. The grounds | are guarded. Anyone trying to I leave will he stopped.” I “The grounds guarded?” Mary [seemed to be frightened. “Is that tnectswy?” “Sar-:.” Harper said, gruffly. By th : s time it was dark. We agreed to meet at Major Forrest’s at nine that night to go over everything and put mir notes in order. They started to question me at dinner et- the Forrest’s but my father-in law ranie to my rescue. “Harley will tell us all he can, without questions, and you cant drag any more out of him,” he told them. All 1 ecnid tell them was that we seemed to hav- too many clues, but expected something to develop within another day I strolled out on the grounds alone, with my pipe, to think it all over before Foxcroft and Harper came beck for the conference. I did not intentionally go toward the stile, but merely walked about. Then I saw someone beyond the stile, a woman. I stood still. A man came up through the Forrest grounds and went through the stile. Evidently the Montieth grounds were not as well guarded as Harper thought. I crept up back of the rhododendrons until 1 could recognize them. The woman was Mary. The man, I felt certain, was Griswold!
