JOE In every generation there are certain percentages of nan being's who are emotionally vulnerable. Earlier or latin the course of their lives under the stress of ordinary ly living' these vulnerable human beings have emotional ficulties. In the course-of any generation, such breakdowns 1 spread out over a period of ten, twenty or thirty years :ause some men have their difficulties early and some have, m late in life. ' Therefore when we he.tr how many men have nervous sakdowns in training camps we should not conclude that 'itary life is turning cur population into a lot of neurotic cks. It means only that, among the 15,000,000 men who the end of this war will have served in the various niches of our armed forces, nervous and emotional upsets ich would have occurred spread out over a twenty or thiryear period have all been precipitated within the short ice of four or five years. This confronts us with a huge immediate load of psychiic casunlties for whom proper care and treatment, must be :vided. it does not mean, however, either that we are a na-

H of ".softies,' or that military service produces mental

less. .

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO I went back to Craig's room. Alexia was sitting in a kind of sulky silence beside the bed, and Craig was. lying there looking straight ahead; neither of them spoke when I came in, although Alexia's eyes shifled toward me. And after a while she got up and walked out, of the room. As she went Beevens came1 to the door; his color was a pale blue-gray, but he said punctiliously enough: "The police are in the north meadow, sir; I thought you had better be informed of their arrival." But it was at least two hours before they came to Craig's room and brought the things they brought. It was a queer two hours which I remember in patches. Mostly we waited. Craig said nothing to me of Drue or of Alexia. Naturally, I

said nothing of it to him and made

the few remarks I had to make as

short and crisp as I could make

them. Peter Huber brought Maud Chivery back to the house. Alexia helped her to bed and later I gave her a

sedative. Maud said almost noth

ing; yet she seemed to know every

thing we did, her eyes were so bright and knowing. It may have been shock or brandy or sedative or all three whatever it was, she went to bed docilely enough and then all at once to sleep. Alexia stayed with her for a while and

Nicky took her tjIucc.

Every so often someone - would bring a bulletin from the police in the north meadow and once Peter,

Nicky, and Beevens went down in to the meadow until they encount

ered a policeman who sent them

back.

A trooper again was outside

Drue's door, and when I attempted to enter my own room and then go to Drue, he stopped me. "Orders, Misit," he said. And when I said, "Orders nothing; it's my room." he

removed my hand from the doorknob in a very muscular way.

Beevens gave us a kind of dinner,

served from the buffet in the big elaborate dining room. Anna didn't help him serve; she was having hysterics in her room and I sent

her some spirits of ammonia.

But before dinner Peter Huber came to Craig's room; I was there and remained so I heard everything they said. Peter told him of the inquest and of our visit to Balifold where wc found Maud Chivery. "I'm horribly sorry, Miss Keate."

he said. "It must have been a ter

rible shock finding him like that. I

ought to have taken- you to the house. Craig, what's your idea of

this? Why do you think Dr. Chivery

was murdered : ,

I thought Craig hesitated before saying, "It's hard to say; Claud

was very secretive. Pete, what about these checks to Nicky?, It

does look like blackmail, but there

was nothing anybody could black

mail my father about. Nothing!" Peter shrugged. "The police

found the canceled checks.

Craigr remarked sudd-eiily, "I knew about the will, of course;

Maud inherits now from Claud." I remembered Maud sitting quiet

ly in the bar, drinking steadily.

man at three o'clock, januasy IB. After a short ' business meeting refreshments were served to Mo;;-, dames Sims, Harmon, Kerlin, Clarkson, Haskett, Sering, Moore, Hines, Herin, Hill, Smith, Libke, Jared and the hostess, Mrs. Bill-man.

And an ugly picture presented itself in my mind: Maud in her dark cloak waiting for Claud in the

meadow and then afterward walking in to Balifold, trying to estab

lish a kind of fumbling alibi, and

drinking because she had to, to steady herself for the discovery. She had told me to take the short cut which was the path through the

meadow and led inevitably to the

discovery of the murder. Was that

to give herself another alibi?

And what of the time ? Claud had

left the inquest fifteen minutes before it adjourned, which would have

given him just about enough tune to reach the meadow. So what of

Maud ? How long actually had she

been in the bar? And how long had Chivery been dead ?

Craig and Peter were probably

thinking very much the same

thoughts for, after alongish silence, Peter declared, "I don't think she did it. A woman " Nicky came in just then to say there was a dinner of sorts in the dining room. A little to my surprise, Craig tackled him then and there about the checks. "What were those checks for, Nicky?" he asked. "It couldn't have

been an allowance. My father

wouldn't have given you or me or anybody an allowance." Nicky answered instantly, smilingly, "He would have, if Alexia asked him to. As she did for me."

A slow flush came up into Craig's

face, but bis voice was quite level. "Do you know Frederic Miller ?"

This time Nicky didn't answer

promptly; he seemed to think, cautiously. Then he said, "No. What

about him? Are there canceled

checks to him, too ?"

But Craig shook his head and made us all go to dinner. Gertrude,

the little waitress, popeyed with ex

citement,, stayed with Craig while

I ate hurriedly with the others.

I was alone with Craig when the police finally came. Lieutenant Nugent asked me to bring a towel from the bathroom. When I spread it out on the foot of the bed so Craig could see, they put down upon it

two ugly objects.

One was a small kitchen paring

knife with its blade sharpened ra

zor-thin; it was spotted, especially about the wooden handle, with a'

dark, dried substance, now turning

brown. The other was a yellow string glove; it, too, was stained in

thick reddish brown patches, dry

now and stiff.

Both had been : found near' Dr. Chivery's body, but not near enough for him to have used. So it did not

indicate suicide.

And there were no other clues, except my own white cap and some nickels, which they returned a little ceremoniously to me, Peter having

explained them.

' The police requested me to stay, for they wanted to question me, and thus I heard the whole thing. Beyond the fact that they had found

uo one yet who had seen Claud Chi

very after he left the inquest, I knew no more than I had already

known.

TTiey asked me about the rustle

I had heard in the brush and my

gruesome discovery. Mainly they asked Craig about

Dr. Chivery. Nugent asked. "Did the Doctor know anything about your father's death?"

"Claud didn t tell everything he knew," remarked Craig obliquely. Nugent's green eyes sharpened. "Why do you think he was killed, Brent?" "I don't, know. But I'd stick to ' the knife if I were you for a clue. The glove ..." "What about the glove ?" "Oh, nothing. It doesn't seem to mean anything." "You're not being very frank, Brent." "I can't do much to help you when I'm in bed." Nugent said slowly, "I'd better tell you that it would help if you had an alibi for this afternoon." Craig lifted himself abruptly on his elbow, winced and lay cautiously back again. "An alibi always helps," declared Nugent. "But the fact is people are saying now that you and Mrs. Brent inherit practically all of your father's money. And everyone knows that I you and Mrsi Brerft ..." A slow flush was creeping up over Craig's face; his eyes narrowed. "Well? Say it." "You know as well as I do what I mean," said Nugent. "Everyone thought you and Mrs. Brent were to be married over a year ago ; then you married the nurse and Alexia Senour married your father. Now they're saying ..." "Listen! I didn't kill my father! Get that into your head! I didn't kill Claud, either," said Craig bleakly. "I've no alibi for this afternoon, unless you consider it an alibi not to be able to walk without getting dizzy." Nugent leaned forward. "Are you sure of that. Brent?" "What! Do you think I'd stay here if I could help it?" he cried angrily. "Don't you think I'd get out and do something!" "What would you do?" broke in Nugent softly. Craig stopped abruptly. "I don't know," he said wearily, after a moment. ' I said, merely in the 'ine of duty, and not to defend Craig, "He couldn't have murdered Dr. Chivery. He couldn't have walked that far and back. I'm sure of that,' Lieutenant." Nugent's gray-green gaze ' plunged at. me. "Are you sure, -Miss Keate?" "Yes. And as to that, Mr. Brent had an alibi the night his father died. I was with him." "I know," said Nugent 'Without', any expression at all in his face. "Still, sick people have been known to walk incredible distances. And there really is no alibi in the case of murder by poison." Craig made a quick motion forward as if to expostulate, and I said hurriedly, "I can't let you question my patient very long, Lieutenant." And put my hand on Craig's wrist.
