SYNOPSIS: The hated Dan Parados is murdered on his iso- lated island estate. At first Claude Annersley, whom Para- do: has ruined financially, is cuspected, but the case against him weakens as clews are lack- ing. It is discovered that a jade phoenix, Parados’ luck cymbol, disappeared shortly be- for his death. Allan Hunt, who comes to check on Parados’ art ecllection, is irked because the beautiful Caroline Brent is sus- pected. Hunt tells the story. At midnight Samuels, the dep- uty dismisses the group, warn- ing them to stay on the island. No one’s alibi is totally satisfac- tory. Samuels stays up to con- sult with Anatole Flique, a French detective who found Parados dead. Chapter 13 BLOOD STAINS here was no thought of sleep in my mind as I entered my room.; Samuels’ suspicion of Caroline still bothered me Finding paper and pencil, I pro< geeded to draw up a summary of the whereabouts of each of us be- tween 6:30 and 7 the night before.

There was also the possibility that the hated Parados had been shot by some person who had come to the island to kill him. Annersley’'s alibi looked sound, but his motive was powerful and Miss Jahries might have lied. I remembered the newspaper in his hand as he burst into’ the li- brary while I was with Parados. The way he had- held it—as if something were concealed — was what bothered me. I¥ bagam to ‘walk the floor. Annersley had backéd out through the patio window between 8:25 and 6:30.

If was dark as pitch, but T was able to make eut another outside stair to my left. It ascended one side of a wing to a roof above thé sun roof. . As I stepped into the patio, some- thing rustled under my feet. I bent down. It Was a newspaper—a| “copy of the Times. My hands shook as I struck a match. I saw noth- ing at first, then—two small stains the size of a dime were on the center of the sheet. Ofl"stains! Vet 5—'\ CHARLBG. F 'mu(‘ inter- work together. f posed M. TI'Ar something to say.

Upon oxe of the thorns is a small moisture— a redness.” He held the lens over the stem of the rose and Samuels, Kirk and I glanced through it in turn. “Blood!” the deputy exclaimed. “I don't know how I missed that,” “Also this,” Flique beamed tri- ump‘v\!nfiy hnd he waved hid’ enor- moui§’ handkercHief i 0ut faces.

Grainger's hatred of Parados had been stréssed less than anyoné's else. “Lét me get this straight,” Sarh- uels muttered. “We find. the petal.
