SYNOPSIS Deborah Vail, an acti ess unengaged d at the moment, was driving from London to Oarnock, Scotland, to visit a t married cousin. Joyce Monteith. Near j, Garnock. during the stormy evening, •he was stopped by a flat tire She i was given a hostile reception at the f house where she sought aid. The . occupant. Andrew Garvin, obviously 1 didn't want visitors He told her be didn't. have a phone, but when be lek her alone to fix the tire, a phone i rang- Deborah answered it 'Get out and stay out!" an angry voice demanded. ‘You're not wanted here!' I Then, while satisfying her curiosity ( about the house, a brutish face stared , at her through a window. Garvin sent Deborah away without an ex- i planation of these happenings Her cousin told her there was good reason for Garvin to be spied upon i and disliked She said that Garvin murdered his wife. Erica, a lazy social climber of careless conduct Erica's maid found her In bed. beaten to death, in late afternoon. The murder weapon was missing. The impression made by Garvin during their brief meeting was such that Deborah couldn't believe him a murderer. This and Deborah's action In going to Garvin's aid when he is beset by an angry crowd in Garnock cause Joyce concern. She does not know that Deborah has set out on her own to investigate the case, beginning with a visit to the Garvins' former maid. The maid tells her that on the fatal day, she was sent away while Mra Garvin entertained a male caller. Deboiah espies a dissipated old man whom she believes to be the person (he saw staring at her through Garvin's window. Joyce identifies him ■s Scobie. ah odd-job man in the community. CHAPTER 11 "QTAY and have a cup of tea?" O Joyce cordially invited David Gray. The police inspector hesitated for only a moment before replying, “Thanks, 1 believe I will.” but in that instant a spark of mutual antagonism seemed to leap between him and Deborah. She was aware that it amused him to know that she would not have seconded the Invitation. Selecting the most comfortable chair, he seated himself with aplomb. Deborah thought him annoyingly sure of himself. She had no doubt he had ample self-con-ceit. At breakfast that morning, Joyce had insisted on giving her his history in brief, although Deborah had protested that no subject interested her less. He was the son of a local doctor. As a’ boy, David Gray had planned to be a doctor but when left almost penniless in his late teens he had joined the police force and for years had walked a beat Although his career was Interrupted by military service during the war, he had risen in the police force tn record time. He was fair-haired, freshskinned, clear-eyed and built like an athlete; but Deborah could not like him. There was a sardonic twist to his mouth, as if he was wary of the world and watchful for false moves. “None the worse for your adventure this morning. Miss Vail?” I he said in a mockingly solicitous i tone. "You heard about it?” asked Joyce, when Deborah failed to answsb

Agreement Reached To Prevent Strike Unions And Santa Fe Railroad In Pact CHICAGO (UP) - Federal Mediator Francis A. O'Neill Jr. today said an agreement has been reached between 15 non-operating railroad unions and toe Santa Fe Railway, ending a , threatened walkout. O’Neill, chairman of toe National Mediation Board, said representatives of both sides came to terms after prolonged conferences at 2:00 am. c.s.t. Chief union negotiator George E. Laighty termed toe agreement a “victory for the organization*’ and said it provides for the union shop !and includes no reference to the use of union funds for political purposes. Fred G. Gurley, chief executive officer of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, said the agreement provides that all present non-union employes and new employes will not be required to become full members, but will be required to pay dues, fees and assessments. Strike action which would have crippled toe railroad’s operation had been set for this Friday, following a referendum in which the union members voted for the walkout. The 15 non-operating unions, with a membership of about 42,000, expected other railway employes to respect their picket lines. Although management had agreed earlier to the union shop, the union had held out for deletion of a clause saying union funds could not be used for political purposes. Gurley said that a different clause is directed to toe question of “possible use of dues for political purposes, ’* although toe word “political” does not appear. The agreement stipulates in this connection that a neutral arbitrator cgn pass upon facts, but “not open questions in connection with legally permissable limits of the agreement under applicable law.” This clause, a Santa Fe spokesman said, leaves the way open for a court test which presumably would have to be initiated by an employe.
"A constame reported me incf- o: dent. He gave a description of the lady who drove recklessly into the crowd, and the registra- w tion number of her car. I told © him to interest himself no fur- 0 lher.” 4 "I wonder you didn’t have me r investigated," said Deborah. "Oh, I did," he replied, crossing f his legs. “Just a routine phone call to London. The Scotland c Yard people were commendably c prompt It seems you’re reputed « to be of very high character. No 1 questionable associates. You were * with a stock company in Bristol 1 when Garvin was in London, so 1 you didn't meet him there. You’ve never been in Garnock before, so i he didn’t meet you here. So you ' needn’t be afraid that the papers 1 will liven up the case with hints 1 about the artist’s association with a beautiful — and mysterious — J actfesii.” 1 "Do you often get your face slapped, Mr. Gray?" asked Deborah furiously. “Not often. 1 watch out for things like that." •• - • • • The following morning, Deborah stopped for petrol at a wayside garage. About to drive oft. she noticed that her receipt was wrongly dated. She called the attendant back. “This Isn’t Tuesday the ninth," she pointed out. “Isn’t it?” He scratched his chin. "No, neither It Is. Wednesday all day, isn’t it?” He grinned. "Ah, well, what’s the difference? As long as we both know you've paid." Deborah looked at the name of the garage. “Isn’t this where Mr. Garvin gets his petrol?" The attendant leaned confidingly on her car door, all set for a friendly gossip. "He did—but he doesn’t Fm afraid I’ve offended the gentleman. Not that 1 lose any sleep over it Aye, I could tell you a thing or two about that bold lad ' and the fancy lady he was married to. D’ye know, he bought petrol from me the very day of the murder, when he swore he was miles away? I don’t think he liked me spoiling his alibi, but what’s a man to do when the police come asking." "When did the police question you? How long after the murder?" “Oh, a few days. Maybe a week.” “How could you be sure of the exact day be bought petrol? It’s easy to make a mistake." “When they came asking, I looked up the sales slip. There it was, in black and white, no geti ting around IL" “And a'week from now,” said I Deborah, “you’d look up the car- > bon of my sales Blip—and be ready to swear I bought

>n Tuesday the ninth.'* ' WR l "' • • • Old Mrs. Craw lived alone but was never lonely. She had for company all the joys and sorrows of eighty years to live over again. And she had a window facing the road. When not nodding before the fire, half napping, half remembering, she loved to sit by her window, watching placidly for an occasional passer-by. If someone stopped at her gate Old Mrs. Craw had the kettle on for tea and her hearing-aid tn place before the caller was halfway up the path. On this chill, cloudy morning she startled Deborah by opening the door to her while the girl’s hand still reached for the knocker. “Come away in, my dear. My, you’re a bonny sight in that pretty dress.” Deborah hovered diffidently naif in the tiny hall and half out “Come ben to the parlor. Sit y« down by the fire. We’ll have 1 nice cup of tea.” In a casual way Deborah re marked on the tall chimneys and gray walls of the house, far ofl down the road, that was the only other dwelling in sight “That's where Mr. Garvts bides,” replied Old Mrs. Craw._ After a reflective pause she added, “Poor Mr. Garvin.” “Then you don’t think he’l guilty ?’’ "Ah, my dear, I don’t let my mind dweU on it, one way or the other. Ye ken, it was I that saw him coming home that day. I’v< often wished I hadn't” “Did he pass your cottage?" “No, he came the other way At the back of twelve, it was.. And within the hour the pool lassie was dead." “At that distance, how did yoi know it was him?" “I’ve got eyes, haven’t I ?” said the old lady, with a touch of as perity, "He drove up in his motoi car. Dressed the way he usually is, to a jacket and trousers that don’t match.” “A sports jacket and slacks,* said Deborah. “Aye, it was him all right," said Mrs. Craw unhappily. "And I had to admit It to the police when they asked.” The old lady took her spectaclei from her lap, wiped them on hei apron, put them on, and blinked two or three times to focus her sight She stared out of the window. "It’s an odd time for toe postman,” she said. Deborah turned to look. A man on a bicycle was riding up the road but it was not a bicycle oi official red, he was not in uniform, and his burden was 1 knapsack, not a postbag.
