MURDER MASQUERADE By INEZ HAYNES IRWIN Copyright lata Hajari Irwia WNU Service. THURSDAY Continued got no alibi and he's got a grand motive. You mean, you think he and Ace quarreled and he killed Ace? I dont think that. I dont think anything. I'm only thinking what a jury will think. I'm a helluva detective. I don't think Walter killed Ace. I dont think Torriano killed him. I dont think Margaret did it, nor that Marden did. In fact, Patrick went on, I wonder if Im not licked. 19 "And then Drina Demoyne died. Tha newspaper accounts of her career said that she had been married but once to an actor, Allan Banka.

I felt all the time that the only thing he was thinking of waa that this might interfere with his elopement. Well, in the end he said that he would reveal his marriage and would acknowledge Caro as his daughter. I asked him if he would draw up a will making full provision for her.

My eyes dropped onto a phrase in the second paragraph which still rethe echoed in beauty in my mind I aerial composure of a cloud. closed the book over this morsel. With my eyes on Patricks retreating figure, I rolled it, figuratively speaking, over and over on the tongue of my mind. And yet my eyes followed Patrick, noting subconsciously the alertness of his graceful, springing step. I remembered, I recalled, that Ace Blaikie had always used in regard to Patrick a word that he had picked up in the South I jimiculate. could never get from Ace quite what jimpriculate meant. It seemed to indicate a vague combination of slenderness, strength, grace and style. I remember noting how fresh Patricks khaki unifoim always looked. The camp was singularly quiet. Ordinarily, at the sound of an automobile, either Adah or Berry, or both, appeared at the door. Neither appeared today. Perhaps they were working out back. It seemed to me that I saw a flutter of curtain at the window. But to this day I cannot be sure; yet Bruce must have looked out to see who was coming. But very clearly I heard, just as Patrick was nearing the house, the sound of a shot. That sound did not perturb me. Instantly I jumped to the conclusion that Berry had killed one of the noisome starlings on which we were all warring. But apparently Patrick did not think of starlings, for instantly he broke into a run. As I have said before, Patrick had always been an athlete and he could sprint With no tremor of apprehension I watched him pull open the piazza door, rush over the piazza and into the house. I sat there idly waiting and idly watching the sparkling plane of the ocean. I cant remember how Not many moments went by. many, but presently, Patrick appeared, came running toward me.

Into both came Patricks Don't faint, Mary! For voice. God's sake don't faint now! I need you! I didnt faint. When Patrick, in what seemed a series of leaps, reached the car, the blackness had disappeared, the weakness had gone. "He killed himself when he saw me coming."
