Because of that anff for other reasons I have de'cided to write story of that murder. J say. the whole stojry because some of its- details have never reached the newspu- pers. Those facts ore buried deep in my memory and in that of one other person. I .flialf put this mUnusc t ipt , in my safe deposit box with instructions' that it- - may not, be.

I, an ante-.teuam going. to reverse that process, I am going to describe first Second Head, where the murder oc Head ii one of four , stirred. Second cliffs, taiher unimaginatively named First Second, Third and Fourth Head, which stretch east into Massachusetts bay. To the west of Second Head runs a road, ending north at First Head and south at the Indian river which sepa-- ' rales Second and Third Head. Beyond this roiid, to the west stretches .broad marsh,, penetrated at high tide by a tiny estuary prom the harbor; and beyond- the marsh the rest ;of , the big township. , Roughly speaking, the ;houses oh Second Head which are most intimate-- , ly connected with this . story lie in a big. oval. The center of this big oval is a small oval a kind of Common. , Here a marble basin, filled with water, supports a colony of goldfish. Every family on Second Head pays a small fixed annual sum to keep this scrap of Common mowed and orderly. He adults call-i- l The Egg, Successive generations of children have alwayf called it Cat Park although as far as I knout, only a few cats ever sunned themselves there. Next to me-- a wide field bordered by high lila,c hedges, intervening live a childless couple, Mr. and Mrs. Peter , $Mw. I am very fond of the StoWf. Peter is. a painter and a good one. Mattie Stow is perhaps the plainest woman in God's world; .she is also perhaps the nicest. Their house, an old one and a big' one, its lower floor amplified by wide giussedin piazzas adapted perfectly for the purpose of entertaining, is one of the most charming in Satuit. Every summer for twenty-five years, the Stouts have given a masquerade. It is the social event of the season. . It was one of the guests of this year's masquerade who. was murdered. Next sip the slant of Second Head .toward tlie ocean to the east come two houses belonging to Doctor and Mrs. Geary. Doctor Geary is. a surgeon ' ip i th an office in Boston. The Gearys the one, nearest the ocean and occupy their murried daughter Edith and her husband, Alfred 'Bray, the one nearest the Stows. I have always known the Gearys and of course I have watched Edith grow up. I like them all, although none of' them thrills me especially; at best they are a little innocuous. The blond Brays are an aver-- , age happy young couple. . Both the Gearys and the Brays went to the Their first connection masquerade. with the murder .was when we called Doctor Geary after my maid, Sarah Darbe, found the body of the murdered man. Next to the Gearys, and still on the ocean side, ts the house occupied for the summer by Doctor Marden and his Big, very beautiful, more modern than the rest and hence naturally more convenient and infinitely less interesting, it looks forward onto a moonlight garden. An interesting pair these: Doctor Myron Marden and his He, a widower, a middle-westernby birth, has practiced in Pur is for twenty-fiv- e years. Caro was Prentiss, the born in France, had never visited America before. Her mother had died born. toon after Caro Caro Prentiss is a new type in the Satuit garden of girls.
