"Thanks for that double-edgeVictor Quinn accepts the compliment. Victor Quade has his doubts." I gave Victor the key and the crowd piled into the little old musty church. Goodness! How dark it was! The cobwebby windows, with their darkly stained glass, showed scarcely any light at all. The vestibule was light enough where the sun streamed through, but save for that bright patch of searchlight sun down the main aisle, the pews were almost in a tomb till your eyes got did I say tomb? Tomb is right! Lily astonishingly took command. "Why should the men have all the fun? Come on, Judy Jason. We ain't murderers. We don't play golf. Let's us take a peek. Why give the real killer a chance to take his hanky and give the stick a swipe?" Good idea, several conceded. Victor didn't like it. He was afraid we'd disturb the position of things, but Lily was already waddling down the main aisle. The Rev. De Witt surprised us by announcing he was going outside with his glasses to take a squint at the bridge. The milkman might be early. Picnickers might be arriving at the Head. Was it likely everybody was sleeping late after the celebration? And, look, he'd seen boats in the harbor. Not close, of course. But couldn'-- t we signal? Build a fire? He stopped, remembering last night's, I suppose, and the uselessness of such procedure on the Fourth of July. "Go along out and shoot off a couple of rockets," the artist added facetiously.

Even by daylight, that dank, rocky floored hole is spooky. Lily stood quaking on the bottom stair while I tiptoed to the sea chest, closed now, and as innocent-lookin- g as when I'd knelt in front of it and tried to wheedle the lock with a bobby pin. Only now the lock hung open. I played my torch down the space between the chest and the wall. Sure enough, there was the golf club! I didn't want to touch it. The blood was unmistakable.

Neither of us had heard him come down the stairs, but there he stood. I could hear the babble of voices above and the lashing of the sea outside. "Coming," I said, but Lily stood glaring at him. the "They're going to auction." Victor whispered added caution to me: "You keep mum about the letter. Let me. Coming, Miss Kendall?" He started to stand aside on the stair to let her pass; then, seeing the futility, he went along up. "O. K.," Lily said. "I'm right behind you. But you can't tell me that nice Hugh Norcross " Bessie cut in, chillingly: "So it was Hugh's club!" She was leaning down at the head of the stairs, the way I'd seen her that night she told me about the missing turpentine. Whenever I think of Bessie Norcross I see her brooding white face leaning over stairs, listening. "And it doesn't prove a thing," Victor said, comfortingly. "Sure, it don't, honey," Lily panted. "Proves he's innocent, if you ask me. The feller that done it left it on purpose, xour orouier wuum 'a thrown his into the sea to wash off the blood, if nothin' more." "Then Quade was right?"
