The Silver Rood Mystery" < by Lewis Allen'Browner I

CHAPTER XX | Oliver was at the landing. I was pleased that he didn’t recognize me b until I spoke to him. I hoped that p Nola Morin would also fail to recognize me, if she saw me. It was beginning to get dark. "I’ve changed my plans,” I said. "I am going to go back to the bungalow. It’s on stilts, with lattice in front, like the rest. I can get under and possibly hear something. You watch until they are almost at the landing, then hurry home, but flash your light three times at the porch \ lattice as you pass, to let me know fthey are coming.” "Sure, Mr. Stevenson." "Have the back door of your bungalow unlocked; I may be discovered and have to run for it” He promised. It wasn’t as difficult getting under the bungalow as I feared. There were a few crates and boards under there, but that was all. I hoped I could hear well. The bungalows were jerry-made affairs, put up for the three summer months. You could almost push them over with your hands. I had been there quite a while, began to wonder if I wasn’t on a fool’s errand, when I saw the three flashes. It wasn’t so dark but what I could see Oliver’s, legs as he walked past. Then they came, went up ofi the porch and I heard him unlock the door. I heard them enter. “How about it?” I heard him ask. “Mix that gin and ginger ale first, Will. I’m choked and it’s terrifically hot here.” I was elated that I could hear as clearly as I did. They went into the kitchen and I couldn't hear them as plainly. I didn’t dare move back, fearing I might bump against a box or crate, and they’d hear me. I eould only hear a murmur of voices. I heard lee being cracked and someone walking over my head. Then heavier steps, the moving of a couple porch chairs. “Hot! It's worse than New York, I no breeze up this lazy river.” That was Fellows. A moment of j silence. They were drinking, I was sure. “Well, how about it?” “I could have told you in the boat.” “Voices carry on water; have to i shout to be heard above that wheezy motor. How about it?” “She gets everything—some of the servants get something. Being new, I wasn’t told much, but I learned enough to know that that pain-in-the-neck of a butler gets i five thousand, but she gets the real J. dough.” , , “She thinks she does. Give your ] notice in th’ morning.” “And how! I’m fed up. I’d like to hop out right now.” “Don't be dumb. Have ’em start a hunt for you? Give ’em a week or two weeks. Let me know. See you at Stager's. Fix the date next time I see you.” “It was a rotten break—we’d have j been on velvet by now.” “I don’t know, Nola, old kid— I chances are we’ll clean up better this way. You got no kick coming —you were in one deuce of a jam for a while.” “Who’s telling who? Mix another, Will, and be a little more generous.” “Come and get it.” They both laughed and went inside. I heard him close and lock the door, heard them walk back to the kitchen. I could just hear their voices and the cracking of ice, with now and then a laugh. After that I heard nothing more than a murmured word. I was gett.ng cramped and chilled in the damp mustiness, and with the greatest of care, I edged out to the side and got from under. There were no lights in the bungalow. I went down to Oliver’s bungalow, had him sit out on the porch

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21.1937.

' joined the Canadian forces in the World War. Twenty-three days later he sailed for France, where he was Injured on the Arrae-Cam-brai f»mt. Following the war he moved to Washington, married and became' the father of three children. Life moved along quietly and serenely. . One day last winter, Knight and ’ another man drove into Samas. A i woman tn a restaurant thought they might be the Mattson kidnapers and notified the police. Thia led to Knight's downfall. His family was shocked to hear that he was a'fugitive, but is stand-

and watch while I went inside and , wrote down, as carefully as I eould . remember, every word I had man- • aged to hear. Oliver came In «« I finished, “They’ve started for the landing, Mr. Stevenson,” he announced. “All right. Keep an eye on him, ’ Oliver. If he meets anyone, look i him over and give me a descrip- . tion.” i I went back to the garage and was , home a half hour before I saw Miss i Morin get off the bus and start up , the drive to the Montieth house. I went over my notes. In some ways I was more puzzled than ever. When Morin said “She gets every- . thing,” she meant Mary Montieth. When Fellows grunted “She thinks she does,” I was all at sea. The will had been read. It was . the will that Gerard Montieth had ( intended to chartge, but whatever . hand drove that silver rood blade into his heart had prevented that Mary would, as we knew well ' enough, inherit the bulk of the , great fortune. Nola Morin, posing as the up-stairs maid, and Wilbur Fellows, who once forged Montieth’s name to some checks, were vastly interested in that will. Why, when Fellows learned about the will, did he tell Miss Morin to give her notice ? “See you at Stager’s,” he had said. Who was Stager? Was it a person. a restaurant or a place? Then there was the remark, “It was a rotten break. We’d have been on velvet by now.” Did that mean that Nola Morin was planning to blackmail Montieth? If so, and then Montieth was ' killed, all blackmail plans would naturally be ended. But Fellows had replied that the ’ chances were they would clean up ■ better this way. That was a poser to me. If the man they intended to blackmail was dead, how could they clean up better? , Fellows said that for a while she was in one deuce of a jam. Could this mean that the rotten break was that ’ she had to kill Montieth, and she , had not intended to do so ? The jam ' she was in was because she had to ’ admit that she had gone out on the library porch. Thus far, none of these points 1 made sense to me. Something was planned by this J couple before Nola came on and bought off the Hutton girl’s job. , Was a murder included in these ■ plans? • I went to bed with a slight head- [ ache. I got Mrs. Johnson on the tele- ’ phone early next morning and told her that the Morin girl would give her notice. “Don't let her go within a week,” I ordered, “make her work out two ’ weeks if you can, but if she makes too much of a fuss, cut it to a week.” I asked my wife if she managed ‘ to get a glimpse of the air mail let- • ter that Mary had received. She ■ hadn't had a glimpse of it, she said. The papers were letting up. This ‘ was because only the coroner, and we working on the case, were aware ' that Peter Brauman was murdered. ’ It was regarded as a sSicide, and ’ many a top-notch writer who rated a “by” line had it all figured out that Brauman had killed Montieth ; and then himself. We were glad enough to let it go at that, for the present. During the forenoon I went up to : the house, ostensibly to learn from ' Mary the exact condition of Mrs. ’ Stapleton and when she thought she i could be brought to the Montieth 1 home. “We hope within a week,” Mary told me. I She was more 1 cheerful than at i any time since the crime. I knew i her well enough to be sure that this was not due to her inheritance. She had been reared by her bachelor uncle in the belief that she would i come into the property.

Ing by him faithfully. His wife and son are working on a farm near the reformatory to b» close to him. , , I. ! — Prayer Starts Game Hutchinson. Kan (U.PJ —Just be-1 I fore the umpire yelled “play ball’’ : ill the play-off between the Chris i tian and Baptista teams of the j local dhurch league, the Rev . Claude J. Miller stepped to home ' plate and offered a prayer that there be no bickering between players and umpires. The Rev. J. J | Pre Vol of the Bapti't Church added an amen. The it .me was played amicably and the Christ- ■ lans won. 5-4. j

I Her cheerfulness, I was sure, had I some connection with the letter she had received. I had to fish around, with great diplomacy, for information, , “In New York you asked me If what I had learned in any way in- , volved Griswold,” I said. “Had you ; any reason for fearing it might ?” “Nothing could convince me that he is involved, Mr. Stevenson.” i “But you seemed anxious.” “Naturally. You all seem determined to believe the worst of How- ; ard. You might run on to some bit i of misinformation that you would wilfully—no, I won’t say that—mistakenly construe as evidence against him.” “But he has disappeared." “There you go! You say it as though he had fled through fear. Tie did not disappear. He went away. He had his reasons for going. He will be back.” “That is a guess —a spoken hope?” “It is a statement of fact Mr. Stevenson, when he comes back, what are you going to do?” “Have a talk with him.” “Arrest him?” “That depends on many things." “If he comes back and explains his absence, and just settles down as usual, out in Kingsbury, where you can always get him when you want him, why arrest him ? It might ruin his career.” “Not if he clears himself.” “Even if he cleared himself. Some would say, ‘Oh yes, he was the man mixed up in tho Montieth case.’ Can’t you see, Mr Stevenson?” “I can’t see much of anything, clearly. Or, i>erhaps to be more ex- ' pliclt, I can see too many things but none of them lead me into the light. I’m not an authority, you know. I am simply helping the authorities as well as I may. But I will do my best. I’ll tell you now, Wally will probably insist on arresting Griswold. He’s convinced.” “And you?" "I am not convinced. I suppose you know where Griswold is?” “I know where he went.” She wouldn't explain any more. I got in touch with Mrs. Johnson. Nola Morin had already given her notice. She wanted to get away at once but consented to working another week. “Did she give any reason?” “Only that she was needed at home.” “Very well. Let her off any evening she asks. If she tries to leave before the week is up, notify me or Mr. Foxcroft or Sergeant Harper. Miss Montieth will help you do that.” She promised. After dinner I diove to Greatport but was unable to say much to Fogcroft. He was tied.yip with a court case. Sergeant Harper informed me that Mr. Coiton and one of his best men had sailed this morning for Europe and that he felt confident they would bring back Professor Henri Lardeau and the stolen painting. Then 1 gave him an outline of al) I had learned concerning Nola Morin and Wilbur Fellows. "That’s something, Mr. Stevenson. It means some crooked game is stewing, all right, all right, but darned if I believe the girl killed Montieth. We will have to let them ' show their hand more than this before we can make a move.” I agreed with him ano was about to take up the matter of Howard ■ Griswold, explaining that Mary said he would be back, when be beat rne i to it in away He answered a tele- j ; phone coil and jumped nervously as i he listened. He turned to me. “Gri. wold is back in Kingsbury,” he said to me and into the telephone he said, “Bring him in!” (To be continued) CopyrlfM by Ltwii Alien Browne Distributed Ly Feetarai toAica'e.
