PAGE FOUR Psy SYNOPSIS: Rupert Joris, Dirk’s @lder brother, did not ‘commit sui- cide as the police believe, but was murdered, The mur. has amys- serious connection with Hope Joris, Rupert's wife, and Dirk has learned that he entered and left the Joris house on the Hudson river by ‘means of a secret stair which ‘eves he did not know existed. But this elears only part of the mystery about Hope, with whom Dirk is ‘much in love. Now Dirk is talking to a blond cowboy, the murderer. He is dying. Chapter 40 BAD NEWS ‘HE boy went on, haltingly, “Tell her, will you? Tell her I was going back. Tell her I’m sorry for +. everything. She’ll understand. You'll be good to her... won’t you?” “Yes,” said Dirk. “I'll be good to her.” He added, “There was some- thing you wanted me to do.” “Of course, I seem... to forget things. She sent me some money when she... went back. It’s in my clothes. Take care of the doctor. . ‘will you... and whatever else... There’s about ... ninety dollars. I ‘was going to use it to... go home.” “Tl look after everything,” Dirk said. “And you won't... You see, down- etairs they think ... They think my name’s something else. I forget what. But... let it go at that. J don’t want... her...” Names Mipped from him. “I don’t want my er... mixed in this. She’s... She’s in a high place ...a safe place «+» With you.” “I understand. Is there anything more?” “There’s ...” with an effort. “There’s a... box here. A little... metal... box. In her bureau. Noth- ing much. Pictures of home... and the folks. We've torn up... every- thing else. She'll want that, And my watch.” “You know, with you sitting there...” (Dirk’s hand still lay on his) “Knowing you're real... I'm feeling... better.” He smiled. “Why | « shouldn’t I... get well? Why shouldn’t ... go home?” “Why not?” Dirk asked gently. “Tf I could sleep... I haven't slept ...real sleep... since it happened. I feel sleepy now... and easy. Stay here, will you... till I go to sleep.” “['ll stay,” said Dirk. The house was dark when he came from the room at last. Mrs. Turner’s door stood open. She said, when Dirk had told her, “He lasted longer than the doctor said he would. The doctor said he’d be gone by midnight.” It was well after midnight when Dirk, lifting his hand from Roddie’s, had gome to the telephone down- stairs and talked with Miss An- drews. She was to tell Mrs. Joris that everything was all right, that he would be home soon. He had re- turned to the room then, had sat awhile longer. He wanted to be sure that Roddie was asleep. “Did he tell you who did it?” Mrs. Turner was agitated and curious. Her face looked bloated, as if she had had a few moments’ ner- ous sleep. “No,” said Dirk. “He only wanted me to look after his things. His money and his clothes: And to pay the doctor.” “Well ...I wondered about that. And who’s to claim him?” She was following Dirk down the hall. Dirk reassured her. “I’m to look after everything,” he said. ‘OPE took the news stoically. He saw the light burning in her room and went in. “He was going home,” she re- peated softly. “He told you he was going back home.” “Shall I wire them, Hope, dear?” “No, I'll write. A letter’s better. Tll write today.” “And Roddie. ... to go... home?” . “He was going back,” she said, “because he needed to. But now...” She looked up at Dirk. “Is there room for him here?” The question touched him. He thought how large was that plot where Rupert lay, and in the spring how green and filled with flowers. “There’s room,” he said. And she, “You are tired. You must go to bed.” The dawn was whitening over a white world. They parted silently. Neither knew that it was Christmas Eve. Do you want him Hope was showing Dirk the con- tents of the metal box. They had had dinner together in the little boudoir | he wasn’t doing so well. I hated Tor- | tion motoring to off the south room. Old Timothy had placed the table in the circle of the bay-window with its cushioned win- @ow-seat. They had wa'ched the ,moon come up, silver-white over the white snow. LIGHT TENDER DUE TONIGHT Tender Poinciana, of the light- house department, is enroute to Key West, and is expected to ar- rive this evening or tomorrow morning. The tender is coming through the intracoastal water- thing . Weather By MARGARET BELL HOUSTON “We lived on the ranch at first,” Hope said. “The Guadalupe Ranch, because it’s in the Guadalupe moun- tains, this side of the Rio Grande. | Here they are, the mountains. El Paso’s a little to the west of you. Roddie and I were born on the ranch. We loved it. Life was wonder- ful there. But Mother never got used to it, never liked it. |Madrid Club for “She'd met Father one winter in | El Paso. He was a cowboy. He must have been finelooking. I haven’t any picture of him then, but Mother says that he was. “After Father became a preacher —You smile at that, but it wasn’t such a far cry for him. He had al- ways wanted to preach, and after ° Qt mn ef : ne brother had gone to Congress, | nighbasactain (Dance Tonight At. and another become a district-at- torney, he made up his mind. “He used to study at night, with Mother helping him. And after awhile they went away together, | leaving Roddie and me at the ranch. When they came back we moved in- | to El Paso, and Father had his own church. People love him. He’s a good preacher. But strict. Strict in ! his own family, that is, Strict with Roddie and me. “I was something of an opportun- ist. I did what he said. Sometimes I only pretended to do it, and it served just as well. But Roddie couldn’t do either. Roddie was a rebel, “We don’t look alike, do we?” She showed Dirk a little picture of her and Roddie as children. Black head, yellow head. “I was the oldest ... the oldest i twin. The strongest I didn’t want to be. I hated for people to say, ‘Your little brother.’ I was glad when old Pablo began to teach us to ride, when Roddie began to get stronger and stronger. Pretty soon he was as brown as old Pablo, and grew and grew. He could ride anything. then Pablo got Bowie for Bowie was the horse you Nate us. saw us ride in Merritt’s... the black horse. He was a Spanish pony, a blue blood. He was just a little colt when Pablo got him in a trade. He grew up with us. He knew every- + + understood eve~y move } we made to a split second. “But of course we had to go to school. We had to learn things. Mother had taught us, whenever she could catch us. Bowie and Pablo taught us considerably oftener. Fa- ther hadn’t begun to take a hand. “Roddie hated leaving the ranch. Hated it as badly as Bowie did. I didn’t mind so much, so long as I had Roddie. I never loved my father or my mother as I loved Roddie, right from the start. I was always robbing him, though. I never meant to. But things were given to me, things were done for me, and not for Roddie. “My mother’s sister, for instance. She sent me to school in Washing- ton. When I went away to school it was the first time I had left Rod- die and Bowie. “Four years, and I saw them only in the summer when I went home. Each time I saw that things were different. Roddie wasn’t home much. he wouldn't study, and he was going with a bad crowd. And then pretty soon he didn’t write to me at all. That was last spring, just before I went home for good. “Roddie wasn’t there. Roddie had had a last quarrel with Father, and had gone,.no one knew where. I could,see that Roddie had been ter- tible, drinking and gambling, and disgracing us generally. “T felt I had to find him, and bring him back. Father said no. Father had said some pretty hard things to Roddie. But Mother said I should go. She reminded Father of how Roddie had always listened to me; said that if anybody could make him see the light it would be Lasca, Friends had seen him, by now. We knew he was somewhere along the Border. “In the end they gave me money te go—money they had saved—and made me promise that when I found him I would come back quickly, either with Roddie or alone. Mother was crying when I left. “I went on Bowie because I wanted to save the money. I knew wher- ever Roddie was, he needed it. This was no time to look for work. “TI found him, too, over in Mexico, in @ little town on the river. That { was the first time I saw Torrobin. “Torrobin had been selling liquor into Texas. Repeal had come, and robin for what he had done to Rod- die.” (Copyright, 1935 Margaret Bell Houston) Hope = Monday, eoamatic st her Today’s Birthdays’ eo! Helen A.
