CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE Wc found the Rawsoni debarking from their canoe and unloading their paraphernalia. Rawson, beet red from the sun on the water in spite of his topee, triumphantly held up a jar. In it wax the smallest crab J have ever beheld. "Not much good for eating,” Romaic observed disparagingly. “Is that al! a erab means to you?" Mr*. Rnwxon reproved him, then smiled forgivingly. “But there, I shouldn't expect anything else. Mr. Hoyt, you look rather dispirited. How about both of you coming to our house after dinner?” “Yes.” Rawson seconded her, “we eould have a drop of Scotch and some anagrams.” "Oh, Komako wouldn’t eare for anagrams,” his wife said quickly. "But there are always charades—they'rs more fun. snywsy. You know, Komsko? We set out syllables of words, and ths rest of you guess ths word.” “Maybe I not too good at guessing.” Komako said doubtfully. "Nonsense! That's your profession!’’ Rawson laughed at his own joke. "Gwen and I rather enjoy putting on an act. How about it?” "Don’t expect us tonight," 1 said with real regret, for their invitation had warmed my spirit. "The big sleuth here is hot on tbs trail of the murderer.” “Really!" Mrs. Rawson looked at Komako respectfully. "Well, shouldn't want to interfere with that!" "Call on me if you need help,” Rawson offered cordially, and stopped to gather up his traps. Yet he and his wife slept through the amazing events which transpired that night—at least, that is what they claimed afterwarda. With nightfall a dreary persistent rain began to discommode us and Komako and I retired to the cabin of my boat. There we awaited word from Henry, a period of inereasing suspense which did not keep Komako from eajoyiag a hearty dinner. At last a canoe bumped the side of the sampan, and Komako was up up and off to the dees with the agility of a huge mountain cat. When he raced back down the companionway, ths dripping Hawaiian youth followed aiose behind. Henry was obviously tired and a little abused. He had had a hard trip and he wanted us to know it. “I found Mrs. Delmar at the plantation," he told us, “so 1 didn’t go to Sam OU. She telephoned Wong about the body and wanted to rome home quiek because it was going to rain. So I come back with them. No time to rest or anything." "Good!” Komako slapped him on the shoulder. “She home now?” “Yeo—and pretty mad. She fell in mud and skinned her knee. Wet, too. Can I go home and eat?” "Sure. sure. Must eat,” Komako agreed. "Get good sleep, too.” Komako and I donned our oilskins and rowed ashore in splashing sbeeto of rain. LighU from the cotUgrs winked through the driving downpour as we msde our way through the palm grove where the tops were threshing noisily m tbs wind. An oil lamp burned in Mrs. Delmar’s living room and we stopped outside the lanai. "Mrs. Delmar!” Komako called loudly. ; Her bedroom door opened and she eome hesitontly toward us. clutching a dressing gown around her, peering crossly out into tho darkless where we stood. Komako stepped into the lanai and as the light . fell on him she said wearily: “Oh, R*s you! What now? Can't you Ist me alone after such a day •aa I’ve hadl

It did not minimize the responsibility of relatives nor their Imp* rtance ax a resource; apparently It believed that while relatives financially anu- to axelxt should be encouraged to do so. neither an applicant nor a relative should be penalized by an arbitrary ag< ncy decision regarding some proposed contribution the relative is considered able to make.

“We got to Ulk to you right away," Komako said urgently. “My goodness! Well, give me time to finish bandaging my knee and get dressed—l’ve been soaked to the skin. Come back in a few minutes." And she went back into her bedroom. Komako was about to sit down on the lanai but I said, "Let’s see if you've aroused the others by your shout. They’ll be swarming in here sure as fate if you did, and prevent her talking." He agreied and we went out into the rain again. In the Latham house across the way the lights were burning, but no one was in sight We started up the path then, glancing into Turva's house as we passed. Mary was there, talking eagerly to Turva who stood in her bathrobe pulling a rubber cap over her dark hair. At the Wests* we saw Josephine dragging chairs and cushions off the leaky lanai, but Thornton was not visible. In tbs three cottages beyond—the Rawsoni’, Herb’s and Budd’s—no lights shone, and we concluded that they had gone to bed. At any rate, it seemed that we were to have a chance at Mrs. Delmar without interruption. We retraced our steps, glad now of the rain for it was successfully covering our presence. Josephine, putting a big pan under the leak on her lanai, did not glance up as we sneaked past a few feet away on the path. Turva had a big Turkish towel in her hand aa we passed her house, and disappeared into her shower room waving it at Mary aa if asking her to defer the story until she had had her bath. So far. so good, though now the doctor and his mother—she In eurl papers and negligee—were in their living room, apparently selecting something to read from the bookcase. Our footsteps made no sound above the storm, however, and they eould not see us in the darkness. I only honed they would not sec us enter Mrs. Delmar’s lighted house across the wsy. Suddenly Komsko, who had stopped on the path behind me. reached out and grasped my shoulder, pulling me back to stand beside Bias. From there we eould look down ths side of the Latham cottage to a lighted bedroom at the right of the living room. Elaine was standing there—a soft pink dressing gown over her nightdress—almost facing the window, staring at something out of our sight within the room. There was terror on her face, and it was that look which drew os nsarer to her, when we should have gone across to Mrs. Delmar's house. We stole cautiously toward the window until we had a clearer view of her. though we still could not see what she was staring at Her hands came up and she began combing her fair hair up to the top of her head, working in feverish jerk*, fastening it there with hairpins In a chignon of curls. Then she leaned forward and stared again, and it dawned on me that she was looking into a mirror. She looked down as if consulting something, then pulled the hair into a looser mass. Obviously. she was trying a new coiffure, following some picture or descrip- ' tion. fnr she lifted a sheet of paper into view for an instant, then dropped it as she gazed sgain at her re- ■ fleetion. The arresting thing was l the expression on h»r face, fear and horror such aa I have seldom ssen. Suddenly she flashed about, apparently having heard the doctor or Mrs Latham eall out to her. for •he answered nervously. “Yes. yes. I'm b-rs!” and at once moved towards tbs door—not iato the living room where tbs others were, but to a back door.
