"My friends. he began In a voice to imitative of President Roosevelt's that even at that tense moment everybody recognized it and smiled, let's have s quiet little fireside talk. We sU of us have things to explain. Take my sell You have only my word I'm wno I claim I am. I had, perhaps, the best opportunity of anyone to commit this crime. Certainly I arrived at the crucial time. I can't find my publisher's letter or any other credenn tials to establish the fact I'm a mystery writer Vidor Quinn. And that title 'Murder on the Bluff" could anything be more pat? Now, I ask you. The club may be mine. The rest of the committee didn't see it behind the sea chest Perhaps I put it there. I don't happen to have to the other side of the group back of Mr. Quincy's chair. There's a question Pd like to ask, Victor said. How many of you have golf clubs here? Hugh and Bessie admitted theyd brought theirs, and Aunt Nella reminded us that the minister had some by a significant nod. He had kept silent until the force ot unspoken glances made him say: That shot I made on the lawn last night Wasn't my club. Belonged to Mr. Norcross, I think. Didn't bring my own downstairs yet Why, Quade? It would be a good time to search his golf bag, I thought; but Victor only shrugged again and said nonchalantly, "Oh, nothing. Just wondered whose mashie might be missing. Saw one back of Judys hope chest in the church basement It had blood on it Blood! You could hear the gasp that ran around our piazza and made everybody lean forward with a dazed expression. "See here, Mr. Quade, Potter said in a voice that trembled, you had no right to keep this to yourself. Yes, why didnt you show us? They were all talking at once. Hugh Norcross started down the steps. "The minister Mr. De Witt there Just said he was using my club on the lawn. Well, if he was, I can soon prove it All my clubs are initialed. Ill get my mashie." But Hugh, where are you going? Bessie cried. The tent. Left my bag In the tent and forgot to take it in afterward. Dont you remember? If she did, Bessie looked pretty anxious. Did you see any initials alongside the the blood? Mr. Quincy banged the railing and made us all jump. Victor shook his head. We were all watching Hugh Norcross emerge from his tent without any bag. Queer. Theyre not in the tent Must be upstairs after alL Uncle Wylie, whod been fiddling with his beloved pipe, now sprang up suddenly. "What you looking for, Mr. Norcross. I carried in those clubs. You'll find em in your room behind the door. Are yours initialed, too. Miss Norcross? Victor asked. Bessie inclined her head. Hugh and I always mark everything." Then if the one you saw down at the church isn't initialed, I suppose its mine that what you mean, Quade? The minister fairly shouted it. But If your Not necessarily. mashie is missing Exactly. Well, it isn't. I appoint you a committee of one to go up to my room the door is unlocked and bring down my mashie. "Get It yourself, if youd feel better about it, Victor said. The minister got up with great dignity and stalked up the stairs. Hugh raced upstairs after the clergyman, and presently the two men came down together. Theres my mashie, boomed the minister accusingly. Hugh carried one club. When Bessie saw it she paled. Initialed neatly at one end were the letters E. N. Some one has used my club in more places than on the lawn, and if there's blood on it I hope to God theres fingerprints, too. Bessie clenched her hands. Her voice cut like ice. "My brother, she said with unmistakable emphasis, has a reputation which will put him above any circumstantial suspicion. And if anyone has tried to smirch him by committing a crime with his club. I'll I'll Bess! Oh, Hugh dry up, No one's accusing me of snapped. anything. Let them try it!" Mr. Quincy thumped his car.e. Lily Kendall giggled nervously, while Hugh and Bessie admitted had brought theirs. they had the pleasure of knowing this Roddy Lane, but that can come up later. We all of us come under the head of suspects. Take Mr. Quincy. That cane of his could kill a man, and does he know how to use it? And he can manage to get around quite a bit without that wheel chair. Can't you, Mr. Quincy? Why, Thaddeus Quite a bit Quincy was actually grinning like a gargoyle. "I try to do more and more each day. Soon I shall swim, and then watch outl Go on, Quade. Great stuff. Victors mouth twitched, but he wasnt smiling. All right, Mr. Pot- Paint doesn't cover an alibi. He went to town, yes. And he lost bottle of turpentine. Maybe he didnt lose it see?

Then to the others he said: It is true. I I have a prison record. It seared me, but Im not ashamed of it I suppose it will be all raked up again. I can only hope you succeed in solving this mystery before the press gets the story. Any more publicity weU, we can all bear what we have to. Ill help you any way I can, Mr. Quade. Was he a saint or a sanctimonious old hypocrite, pulling the wool over my aunt's eyes? For the moment my past history ter. Is my own. I can assure you It has nothing to do with this story. Noth- ing whatever." Course It hasnt" scoffed Aunt Nella. "Even If the poor man did lose every penny when the Lane Bank blew up. and Roddy (B iped "You keep still," advised my unMind cle. for once In his life. your own businesa." True, aint II? Tell em It's true. Reverend." Yes, It's true. When that crooked son of the Old Man's cleaned out the bank, I tost everything I'd saved from years of hard work. But other lost too." Why, wasn't It Insured?" Victor asked. Nobody knows exactly, but what Insurance there wis didn't cover Roddy' supposed embezzlement People couldn't prove young Lane did steal the funds; he was never brought to trial because there wasn't anything to go by. But the money was gone. The bank failed. The Old Man shot himself. Roddy hid It In the Castle, if you ask me, added Aunt Nella. Now, we're getting somewhere! How many of you Victor said. people lost money in that fiasco?" Nobody spoke. Mr. Quincy was drawing imaginary circles on the porch with hia nervous cane. You can't expect us to answer a question like that Mr. Quade. Practically admit a motive for killing Roddy Lane? You're crazy!" Not so crazy as you think. Why should an innocent person hesitate? A matter of record, isn't it?" Uncle Wylie removed hia pipe. "If 'twas, this might not have happened. Only record is personal bankbooks. Nella and me we've got our'n. But the ledgers of the Lane Bank vanished along with the funds. Nclla'i nuts to say they were hidden In the Lane Castle. Authorities scoured the place high and low. at the time.

No proof against him. Want to see our accounts? Joint they was. Later, Mr. Gerry. You weren't afraid to speak up. Auntie Why should he be! The savin's didn't make snapped. him half so mad as the fight over the boundary line. There she went making things worse for poor old Uncle. The police would have a sweet time twisting him around in their net Not only the lost savings and the old boundary' feud, but the damning evidence of his having been intoxicated, the finding of his pipe at the scene of the ruined fish shack he'd threatened over and over, quite publicly. to burn down some day. Was Victor Quade also adding up these things to make harmless Uncle Wylie Gerry into a killer? But Victor struck everybody silent when he said: Mr. Gerry, youre the only one here who knew this man Brown. Is that right?" That was correct Aunt Nella only having seen him s few times at a distance. Of course, Victor went on, he may be quite all right. We've nothing to prove he didn't go to Rockville last evening and stay there, or try to return to the Head and find the bridge out. But an old man to go off like that and leave a light burning. Youre sure about the light, you two? He looked from Mr. Quincy to me, and we both corrobo- rated. That there ear trumpet he never went nowhere without it, Uncle Wylie said. "Not even fishin. Had it tied over his shoulder some way. Suppose you describe the man. Was he tall? Not so very. Warnt short neither. Kinder medium, and stooped-likCome to think of it I usually saw him settin either on the bench in front of the shack or over on the rocks back of the church." Well, go on. Was he light or dark? Old or young? Dont rush me. You know he was old as old as the hills. So old I thought he hadnt oughter be livin all alone by himself and asked him why he did. But he answered as g into always, sticking that my face and turning his sideways, 'Hey? Im a leetle hard o hearin. Speak louder.' Youd think he'd stepped out of some Yankee play. The Old Homestead' or Way Down East. Character, he was. Only other thing I ever heard him say was Fishin. Liked to fish off the rocks when he first come. And when was that? Not so long ago. Just afore you tourists, warnt it Nella? How shd I know? Nobody saw him come. Just saw a light there one night, and you went over and there he sat on the bench, twiddling his thumbs and blinkin at the sea, Aunt Nella replied. Blinking, did you say? Thats what Wylie said behind his thick glasses. Wylie lit his pipe she broke off abruptly, as if the memory of the fishhouse and her husband's pipe were too painful to go "Said he was poverty on with. struck lookin.
