"We found that the Head was still a pleasant place to come to," he went on hesitantly, one eye on his keeper. "Her nervous-ness was so much better, for one thing. The auction was fun, and here was a ready-mad- e chance to get the makings of a gifte shoppe cheap." "I remember you said the old dump would make a good bonfire," Thaddeus Quincy chirped. "Didn't burn up the wrong building by mis-take, did you, Norcross? Judy and I saw you scouting around last night, remember." "Stop it, Quincy!" Victor said sharply. Hugh had risen. "Sit down, Norcross. Perfectly under-tandabl- e. Vou wanted to allay any fears that you were anxious to get--" "What the devil are you insinua-ting?" "Nothing. Just that you thought you'd get it cheaper the gifte shoppe for your sister if the others didn't see you were anxious." "That's right, Hughie. Just what you told me, remember?" Bessie backed Victor. "I kind of hoped I could get it for a studio," the artist spoke up. "But I couldn't go above the Gerrys. Hun-dre- d and fifty, didn't they bid, Ju-dy?" I said I thought so. "And you. Miss Kendall?"

I'm sure I knew it practical- - word for word. They made me repeat it all over again. They ap-peared entirely surprised. "And sent you the money!" Lily Piped. "How much, dearie?" But before I could say anything Victor retorted: "Enough, so that she bought the church, as you all know. Had some over. Quite sum." "If we could see that letter" Hugh began. Did he know it had been destroyed, that he dared ask for it? "Yes, the letter, though I don't see what that's got to do with killin' Roddy Lane. You keep the rest of that kale, honey," Lily ordered, catching her long string of tiny mixed beads on Albion Potter's coat button as she leaned across him and breaking it, as usual, in the undoing. "She's going to," Victor cut in quickly. "Put it away with the let-ter, didn't you, Judy? The police will want to examine both of them." Victor was pretending the mys-tery letter was still safely concealed in my bureau drawer. He didn't want them to know I'd discovered it was gone. But the person who'd taken it would know. I had to say something. "Near together," I said. "I- -I put the money in my stocking at first, but after what's happened I wish-- on, I wish I could give it back. If one of you wanted me to do you the favor of buying the church, for good-ness' sake say so. Come out and admit it, so we won't connect it up with all these horrors." Nobody stirred. After a moment. Uncle Wylie asked in a strangled voice, "Judy, does Nella know about this?" "No," I answered. "But she's dy-ing to find out She couldn't under-stand how I had $300 to plank down at an auction when she had to ad-vance me my fare to the Head, and I don't blame her. I wanted to tell her, only the letter impressed si-lence upon me." "So you put the money with the letter?" "Well, it's in the other--" I stopped. He couldn't want me to tell them exactly where it was, of course. Just to hint to the thief who'd swiped the letter that he'd overlooked the money, and that I'd overlooked his taking the letter. "Wherever you mean," Victor added pointedly, "I hope it's in a safe place. If the police can identi-fy those bills it will help." Lily whispered: "Tell him, Judy, a&d the police won't never see 'em. I think he sent the letter himself. So there!" Uncle Wylie hurried out of the door, without a word to anybody. The rest of us were all talking at once. They asked me so many ques-tions I was afraid I'd mix up Vic-tor's plans and I did so desperate-ly want to help him. He saw the position I was in and drew me aside as the group broke up and started outdoors again. "Any place I could watch your bedroom door, Judy?" "There's the storeroom." "Fat chance, anyway. Don't think he'll fall for the trap. Those bills weren't from all over the United States by chance and without se-quence." "Another thing. Lily Kendall did bid a lot. She was in almost at the finish. She's got it in for--" But I didn't have a chance to tell him what she'd hinted about the Pirate's Moutb just then, for the minister boomed, linking his arm with Vic-tor's and dragging him out of the church: "Well, back I go to the inn. Got to get that sermon done some time. And after the police come" I pounced on Victor as he disen-gaged himself. "Please, Mr. Quade. I've got to find my bag. That con-founded key is in it." "Well, m be trotting along after the others," De Witt said. "Where did you leave it?" Victor sounded impatient. "I think it's im-portant, Just now, to see who makes a dive for your room. I'd hoped that storeroom" "But it's in the basement Only take minute. I'm I'm afraid to jo down there again by myself." "Oh, all right Only let's hurry, you're sure you left it there?" I was sure. But I was extremely doubtful if it was there now. I told Victor how I'd left it near the chest when I tried to fiddle open the lock. He told me to stay on the stair and let him hunt around.

But right now I want to ask you to listen carefully, please. Mr. De Witt had sentimen-tal reasons. Potter wanted a studio. Miss Kendall, a sea place to watch sunsets. The Gerrys', a bungalow. The Norcrosses, a gifte shoppe. And you, Mr. Quincy?" "Oh, I was there in the door-way. Called in a bid, but stopped when I saw Judy Jason was deter-mined to get the church. Didn't want to bid down Judy." "That was kind of you, Quincy. Was it because you knew she'd buy it, anyway, for you?" "For me?" Mr. Q. appeared to be nonplused. "See here, Quade, why should a cripple like me want an ark like this? I can see the sunsets from the inn or the rocks." "Explain yourself, Quade," cried several voices. A man was entering the church.

We ail shuddered, recalling the poor, charred body under its rough cover. My aunt wanted me, I was Informed, but I didn't budge. "This isn't an auction or meeting, either," the minister said. "Mr. Quade seems to think our bidding had something to do with the mys-terious bridge bombings and and the dead man down there.

"Charles," said the sharp-voice- d woman to her husband on the train, "do you know you and I had a romance on a train?" "Never heard of it," said Charles. "Don't you remember it was a pair of slippers 1 presented to you the Christmas before we were married that led to our marriage? You remember how nicely they fit, don't you? We were going to a picnic, you had your feet on a seat, and when you wereiv't look-in-g I took your measure. But for that pair of slippers I don't be-lieve we'd ever been married." A young man sitting opposite with a girl, immediately removed his feet from the seat. Gen. Eisenhower's Name Means 'Iron Chopper' Gen. Dwight D.
