I smelled this same musky smell on one of the pillowslips In Little Bear. Oh, Im sure of it. Cumberland Who were they? asked. "I dont know, Bee confessed. "Earl Priddy took them to the cabin. They came late Friday night and left very early. I didnt see them at all. But Im positive about the smell. There seemed no more to say. They moved out of doors again, and What Cumberland asked heavily: did they do to him, Doc? Howd they kill him? Doctor Medford said unsteadily: "I can stand most things all right; but this gets me. And he continued, without prompting: "It was more or less luck that I hit it so soon. I didnt find any wounds, knife, bullet, nothing like that; so I went into the abdomen, thinking of poison. I found the answer there. He hesitated and Cumberland urged: "Go ahead, Doc. "All The Doctor said grimly: right. Its hard to believe; but this man died of peritonitis, from a ruptured appendix. Rupture resulted from a gangrenous condition produced by a crease in the omentus that bent a fold in an artery, the way you do a hose, and shut off the blood supply. Thats how he died! For a moment no one spoke, till Cumberland muttered: "Then its not murder, Tope! The Inspector said impatiently: "They tied him up, gagged him, left him with a blanket around his head when he was running a temperature and pretty sick and needing a doctor quick. If that wasnt murder, it was the next thing to it! "Manslaughter, maybe, Cumberland admitted. "Well," Tope suggested, "suppose It was you that had fetched this man to Faraway and left him there to die. Wouldnt you be worried for fear some one had spotted you? "It was dark, Cumberland reflected. Id have kept my hat pulled down, my collar turned up." "How about the car? Wouldnt you be afraid Priddy might remember the car? Then, putting himself In the other mans place, Tope went on: Of course, maybe Id steal a car to do the job. Mat, have you had any reports of a car being stolen around here? "I wouldn't know about that, Ned Quill Cumberland confessed. would, though. The State police get all those bulletins. Where is he? "Asleep inside. He wa up all night. "Well, send him out, Tope directed. The District Attorney went into the house, and after a moment Ned Quill appeared, elaborately rubbing his eyes. Get any rest, Tope spoke to him. did you? the trooper told him "Sure! A good three hours! cheerfully. "Quill, have the Tope nodded. State police had any reports of a car being stolen around here, the last few days? "Sure, cars are stolen all- - the time. You go find out whether any cars have been reported stolen within fifty miles of here since Friday, Tope Or since Thursday, for directed. that matter. PREPARATIONS ne2t TABLETS, THE STORY THUS FAR: Adam Bruce, FBI operator, end Inspector and Mrs. Tope met while on vacation In Northeastern wilds. Tope discovered the body of a murdered man at the auto camp of Bee Dewain, a friend of Bruces. He called Bruce, who brought tate Trooper .Quill. Upon the arrival of the D. A., Nat Cumberland and D. Medford, they decided to keep the murder a secret as The body was moved long as possible. to the home of Amasa Dewain for further Investigation. Mrs. Tope told her husband that she recognized the body as that of Mr. Ledforge, head of New England utiliUes. Bee stated that a musky smell on murdered mans hair reminded her of someone. ntic tu V FRANK Quill assented. He started away; but Tdpe detained him.' "Wait a minute, he said. Something else. know the country You around here? Lived here all my life up to now. Yes, I guess I do. "Well then, Tope asked, "suppose you had a car on your hands that you had to get rid of, somewhere around here, where would you put it? The trooper considered. "Id run lt into the woods," he decided. "There are a lot of old roads that nobody uses except to park in, on moonlight nights; and nobody would notice one more (far among so many. Tope shook his head. "Thats not good enough! Some one might spot lt the first day. Is there any place where a car could be aunk in deep water? Well, there are some old lime stone quarries, above Ridgcomb. I haven't been up there since I was a kid; but there's always water in the quarries, and its gray with lime, so you cant see down into It. Any other place that would do the trick? "Nary a one that I know of. "All right, he Tope nodded. "Now you go find out agreed. whether theres been a car stolen, and let me know. When Quill was gone, Tope turned to Adam. "Son, you know where these quarries are? I can find them. Get Miss Dewain, to drive you That up there, Tope directed. way, you can enjoy yourself and help me too. Take a fishingline and a sinker and make some soundings see if you can locate anything in the quarries that might be a car. Look for tire tracks on the road. I came up to get some fresh vegetables for dinner, Bee remembered. "Adam, come help me. Then we can go. So she and Adam departed toward the garden, and the Inspector and Mrs. Tope got under way; at once he proposed: Now maam, we'll drive down to Ledforges summer place and see what they say there! She assented; but first he bade her stop at the Mill; and he went to talk with Priddy for a while. have thought of that, Joe, he said. But Dane retorted: "We dont know the cars therel Thats just a stab in the dark. Why, thats right, Tope agreed readi'y enough. "But I tried another stab, he continued. Quill helped me on this too. I asked him to find out whether any car had been stolen around here. Well, there was one, belonged to a man named has a summer place down near It was taken Friday Ridgcomb. Nettie night, out of the garage. shes Holdoms housekePineyard eper-says Mrs. Kell, the chauffeurs wife, drove it away. He hesitated; but no one spoke, and he went on: Saturday morning, Holdom telephoned from New York to the police in Ridgcomb that the car had been stolen. He turned to Quill. "Ned you go call up your friend, the insurance man see if he had insurance on that car and whether Holdom reported the theft to him too. Quill disappeared and Tope spoke more softly: Didnt want Quill to hear what Im telling you now, he said. "But Mrs. Tope here saw Ledforge, the Utilities man that lives down below Ridgcomb, at a meeting once, and she saw the dead man this morning. She thought be was Ledforge!" Cumberland leaned forward, and Dane leaped to his feet. "Ledforge! he whispered hoarsely. "By GodHis eyes frey! Say, if thats shone. But Tope said mildly: "Wait a minute, Mr. Dane. I only said that Mrs. Tope thought the dead man was Ledforge. But Ledforge is in New York. He was at a bank directors meeting there this morning. Dane made an exasperated gesture. Well, for heavens sake, If its not him, why set off a skyrocket here? But then Quill returned. "Charley Fay had the insurance on the coupe, he said. "But he hasnt any report about its being stolen. Tope nodded, and gently he dismissed the trooper. "Youve been a lot of help. Ned, he said. I wish youd drop in at Dewains Mill and see if Adam's there. Tell him Ill be there soon. So Quill departed; and Tope looked at Cumberland. Now, I want to do a little teleMind if I phoning, Mat, he said. use your name?
