IjHDRBUSH 0332 byaica seevux IMC 4b CHAPTER XL3L I SUPPOSE he's right." Tom ; ' had listened attentirely to Linda's report of her talk with Shaughnessey. "After all the murder-happened yesterday morning and by last night we had a line on all of them. 1 think Shaughnessey's definitely out of It, Linda, simply because be couldn't have gotten up to the room Friday night, or rather Saturday morning, without one of us hearing him. When you think , back and see how the small sounds that were made were magnified by the quiet of the bouse ypu can Bee that- a man rrmlrin't rnma In 'through the screen door- That Ja-allowlng you forgot to lock" the 'other "Yes. I wish I could remember! And I can't mention it to Shaughnessey Shaugh-nessey because it would show I still bave suspected him "Well, anyhow, as you started to ay-the screen door bangs! "Tbafa Itunless you hold It witnyouf band, whlcb you know he wouldn't think to do. If he had. 'he would have bad to creep up the stair 'without either of us hearing him; ; "In other words, it would hare been deliberate which is exactly what we feel sure It wasn't." - "Bantarfor Statlander in spite . oX the trouble' with his bearing I'm agaln undecided. That man has omethlngVon his mind! He had the most curious air about blm trery important and what shall 1 call it? valedictory, as we went-' went-' overy the - papers. He was doing nothing less than giving me a full. detailed report-ot his entire work as manager of Valeska's middle-west middle-west factory from the day he came. Systeme. buying, profits, employment em-ployment everything. Now a man doesn't go away-for ; a pleasant jweek-end and launch'' Into re hearsal like that back to the year one unless his mind Is somehow disturbed "and be feels it his last chance to get it off his chest." "Guilty conscience?" "Possibly. Overconscientiousness as far as the office Is concerned. He certainly give me the Impression Impres-sion that he had arranged to leave everything in my hands In perfect shape. I'd say It was the habit of mind of a person who always has been systematic and Is suddenly faced with the possibility of a break in the routine. He may not anticipate. arrest but he's acting as he would if he did." "He is the only one who showed the slightest sign of knowing what I was driving at when I made blm talk about it all " mused Linda. "He didn't start and flush and act like a villain on the stage but he wasn't a bit anxious to go over the ground and I'm convinced be saw perfectly well what I was leading up to. The nearer I got to the heart of the matter the more restive res-tive he was." 0 m unpHERE are two things I hold against him still," said Tom slowly. "The way be said "nothing "noth-ing when you asked if he'd found anything. Remember, Linda? He afterwards admitted to the towel, apparently without seeing that he had contradicted himself " "Yes. And what was the other?" "The way he. turned away from the railing when he was straightening straighten-ing it up, according to Shaughnessey's Shaugh-nessey's account. That's one of those curious, unnecessary acts that often reveal a lot and tt's also the sort of thing no one could make up. "But you dldnt notice when he appeared in pyjamas and bathrobe that he looked as it he'd bad a tussle?" "He'd have had time to fix up if he'd shown the marks of one. Of all of tbembls escape would be easiest. His room Is right across from the nursery. He could slip In there and tidy up in the time I was coming up the lawn and then loin us later." "Tom " She made a gesture of weariness and distress. "You're go ing round and round." "I know, Binks but I honestly think we're going further ahead each time. Like a spiral staircase, stair-case, we go round and round but we also go up. The more we go over It the more Important little things like the time element and the way StaUander's behaved since thencome out clearly. - "Speaking of the time element" TTesv" His enthusiasm and conviction con-viction fell from . him, leaving him openly .dejected and uncertain. "It's time - for' dinner. Only an hour or two more at best, Binks I" .' "You wouldn't put it off till tomorrow to-morrow morning?" "Wouldn't dare. They're all going go-ing In on the 8:10 with me. That means a terrible scramble to get off. No, anything that happens has to happen tonight." AGAIN she felt the faint prickle of anticipation along ber spine. "IV going to happen, Tom. It's going to cbappen! I knew there was troubie lh this house-party and it came. - I know we're on the verge of of something and it'll come. Oh, please-don't look so discouraged, discour-aged, darling! You've done your best and honestly, Tom something, some-thing, something. Is going to happen! hap-pen! That's my hunch and you've got to believe it!" He attempted to show the con fidence for which she appealed but the effort was not an entire success. "Perhaps, Well we can't do anything right now. You're hav ing dinner a little early, arent you. to get DeVoss off? I'm sorry he's going out. It sort of spoils things at least I'd like everyone here and every chance this last hour or two." "No way we could stop him without with-out telling him what was up." Linda Lin-da gave her nose the final dab of powder before she Joined him at the door. "We're so obviously doing nothing and he couldnt be expected to turn down an attractive Invitation Invita-tion even It be weren't so smitten widf Fleur." "Smitten with Fleur's millions! I think he's a cold and calculating customer." "Oh, but, Tom, she is quite a charmer! You have to admit that!" "I don't see it," he asserted stoutly. "She won't be able to putover much on him if she lands him or if he lands her. They'll be a pair." "I wish them Joy of each other. Hurry, Binks!" . "You're always saying fHurry, Binks! I'm all ready!" "Then come along. Ton were the one who wanted dinner early.' Wrangling amicably, they started out together. On the stairway they overtook Mr. Statlander going down ahead of them. "Ah Mr. Averill!" he exclaimed "I Just had you In mind. If you have a moment before dinner- there was one point I omitted to make as toMsales during the past six months Jn our survey this afternoon. I can cover the ground very quickly" T wonder If youd mind waiting a moment or even until after din . her? Tom's smile was bis most winning and the other,. after coughing cough-ing .rather, portentously, seemed willing to cede the point. "1 5 want to run the car out from the garage " so that it will be ready when De Vos comes down. You can explain, Binks I'll be right back." "Tou see, Mr. DeVos Is dining -out," said Linda patiently "He'll leave about the time our dinner Is over and If Tom has the car, out he won't have to leave, the table early or keep Mr. De Vos waiting. Besides Be-sides dinner must be nearly ready in a few moments, now. So let's sit down and put off business till afterwards." THHROUGH the scree door, she JL 8a w Tom disappear into the ga rage and she could not help noticing notic-ing with a throb of wifely pride how well ; he carried himself, the fine balance of bis broad shoulders and narrow hips and the undoubted distinction In the way be wore even ordinary and conventional clothes. For the moment she did not hear what Mr. StatlAider was saying In his rather stiff, measured speech until the . word "nursery" caught ber ear and she came. bark to an swer at random what she thought he must have said. "Oh, yes. Mr. Statlander. It Isn't the nursery you're to have, though. It's the guest room at the other end of the halt We spoke of the nursery first but you preferred the other" ' ' . "I understand. Mrs. Averlll." He spoke with the forced patience one gives an inattentive child. "1 am expecting to spend the night there, at your suggestion, and am quite ready to move any time. But what I said was this your speaking of Mr. DeVos put it Into my mind it is probably Irrelevant but our talk about what, happened after Mr. Peabody's fall reminded me of something that struck me as curious curi-ous at the time. I wondered then and have wondered since why when Mr. DeVos Joined us in the guest room after your collapse, be seemed to come from our end of the ball Instead of from bis own room .which I understand adjoins the other. I had thought perhaps the nursery Just as I myself the beat toward the water " The 'firm, clear, self-important voice went on and on but every drop of blood tn Linda's body seemed arrested in its course through her veins. In ber ears the beating of her heart seemed stupendous, stu-pendous, deafening.
