Chapter 11 A ONE-ARMED MYSTERY Jimmie Haswell, with Donald and Nancy arrived early for the regu lar services next morning in the crowded little village church. Loo ing around him, he was not sur- prised at the absence of Evelyn and Marjoriz, usually present on Sun- day, but today shrinking from the gaze of the curious. The house- hold was represented by Ben Acre: and his wife and Major Gresham was one of the ushers. Mrs. Netherton was there alone, and Jimmie caught a glimpse of Audrey coming in with her mother, Duckworth and Evelyn seemed con- nal.

Not much he can't do.” Stirling, a big, dark fellow with a close-clipped black moustache and square, high shoulders went over to Nancy, telling her that Evelyn Blake had asked her, Donald and Jimmie to come over for a quiet |time that cvening. Tt was agreed that <he three would go over. Jimmie and Audrey should have won the game, which ended all She played well, but Jim- S g had pul him off his game. Had the one-armed man played ny part in the tragedy? Obviously e was friendly to the sisters. Was his car the chautfeur had seen against the fence? The fact that |Dr. Netherton had seen him driv- ing in that divection supported the possibility. That a powerful ons- armed man could have pushed over |the satyr was obvious, but to con- |clude that from the mere pres- ‘;ruuc of his car appeared worse |than accusing Joe Allen because of |his disappearance Jimmie and the Wades reached the Querdling place after dinner.

After the brief services, Mrs. Netherton greeted Nancy, Donald and Jimmie and suggested that Jimmie play golf with Audrey that afternoon as her son could not fill his’ engagement. Audrey agreed that they would meet again at 2:30 and play partners against the Audrey proved to be a wonderful golfer, Nancy kept the ball out of trouble and Donald was at top) form; yet, even with the game's interest, it was impossible to forget the topic of the hour. During a wait on a tee Nancy turned sud-| denly to Jimmie and said, “Do you believe Joe Allen did it?” | “Fifty-fifty,” he replied. “Joc| Allen is simple and the teasing of his friends might have made him reckless. ‘Then he might ride off, | planning to hide himself. But the suggested wait in the garden makes| me doubtful. He would have had! time to cool down. If he is a very| low type, he might have done it."| “But he isn't” Audrey put in.| “@here’s not much wrong in him.” ¥For a few moments the subject was dropped as play proceeded.| But Jimmie seemed curious. | “I suppose Bill Netherton is an| old friend of yours?” he asked. Bhe gave him a quick ghnce.' “Xes. He is.” 1 iBill had always meant to spe- dialize, she said, but his father had , leaving debts to pay off, and| had to get through quickly come home. A good deal tha: did not say was implied, All listened BB tent togethcr, Marjorie had a book in her hand but was not reading, while Stirling was trying to make conversation. They all brightened up when the newcomers arrived. Evelyn’s remark to Jimmie gave a lead in the direction of their thoughts. “We can't belleve what they are saying about Joe Allen. If hes innocent, when do you think the detectives from Scotland Yard will come?” “Probably not at all,” he replied, | adding that Scotland . Yard helps in provincial cases only when asked. “The local police are very efficient.” “Especially with the aid of a gifted amateur.” Stirling's tone was not entirely free from sarcasm, but Jimmie took it good-humoredly. “Wrong again,” he replied. “The amateur is seldom of much use in comparison with the trained police- man.” “Well, then I hope that Rich- mond will soon end the suspense,” observed Duckworth. “But,” said Stirling, facing Jim- mie, “whoever is guilty, how is it to be brought to them, if they deny it and there are no eye-witnesses?” “All you can do is to get a com- bination of circumstances and elim- inate reasonable doubt. Take Joe Allen. We'll check up on every de- tail of his story and when we find him question him closely. His mo- torcycle must have been seen or heard by many along the way. If his story breaks down, he may con- demn himself.” “Yesterday, Richmond told me that someone saw my car or one like it standing empty outside herc. Must I prove an alibi because o that?” queried Stirling cooly. There was silence as he spoke, 4 Hok 4 interest in meeting Captain| THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, FEB. 21, 1931.
