Rushing to Absalom’s Har- bor, he boards the yacht and finds, in a locked cabin, Fanning shot dead and Janetiin a faint, a gun beside her. Neill hides her in the disused liners up the river. Back at the village he resumes his fish- erman role to watch develop- ments, Mark Bonniger, a keeu local man, is called in to lead the murder investigation. Kettering, @ Baltimore lawyer there to fish, offers to introduce Neill, Chapter 17 . Eyster Beckons ONNIGER, Wilson and Virgil were now on the store porch, Kettering hailed Bonniger with his customary heartiness, and brought up Neill to be introduced. Bonniger shook hands with Neill courteously, but let it be seen that he had other things on his mind. “I reckon this will spoil the fish- ” said Kettering humorously, “but of course we've got to hold the law’s hands at such a time.

Athought struck Bonniger. “Look, ‘Kettering—the dead man ‘was’ known’ to his’ crew as: John said Bonniger be glad of a little Barrett of: New York.’ But she| ang boarded his yacht in Baltimore night ‘before last, and I’ve an idea he may belong there. You have a wide acquaintance in Baltimore. Come have a look at him.” ‘They crossed the road and en- tered the shed. Neill managed to in before the door was closed. $0 body lay on a trestle ‘with a sheet pulled over it. Already there was a smell of death in the place. Virgil took the edge of the gheet between thumb and finger and gingerly pulled it down. The dead man’s face was composed now. A lock of hair concealed the hole in his forehead. Bh ey Sade Pasay Tan cried Kettering. “I didn’t snow he had a yacht!” “What do you know about him?” “Only what everybody knows,” said Kettering. He related it. “From New York?” said Bon- niger. “We must put out lines there. The rest is only Baltimore ip. Can’t you give me some- articular about the man?” ig shooR his head, “I didn’t know him at all. I saw him everywhere, but I haven’t spoken to him above three times, and then to pass the time of day.” fell, we have established his . That’s a beginning,” said er. “I'll have inquiries made in Baltimore and New York.” They returned to the store with Neill tagging along. Bonniger dis- appeared into the back office to Papers. and* Virgil went be- ad the counter to wait on Ket- ne. Neill hung about at the k of the store until Bonniger again. He had decided to e a boid play. “Can I speak to you for a mo- ment?” he asked. f i gave him a keen look. He was not a man that you could fool with. “Have you information to give me about this case?” feill faced#him out grinning. “Yes and no,” he said. “I want to offer you my services.” “In what capacity?” “I was introduced to you just Bow as Ford Wheatley.

The | shed was the great object of the people’s curiosity. “Looks like a regular met~ | rolopus, don’t it?” remarked Virgil, Suddenly among those ap- proaching from the right, Neill picked out a familiar figure, It was David Eyster, Fanning’s .half- crazy little trailer. There was no mistaking the gray figure cease- lessly turning his head from side to side. Eyster saw Neill, too, and it was too late to slip in the store. There was a new quality in Eyster’s grin which reminded Neill of devil’s laughter. Yet the tragic look showed in his eyes unchanged. As Neill put it to him- self, the devil was still in hell, but something had pleased him, Neill said to Virgil: “That's a queer little customer yonder in the gray suit.” “Quare is the word, mister. Last night when I seen him first it give me the creeps.” “Last night?” Neill echoed. “Sure he first come around night after the movies. I don’t, know where he’s from. Won'’ty speak.” This gave Neill fresh food for! thought. If the yacht had been, driven into Absalom’s by accicien : how could Eyster have learned of her presence there so soon? When Eyster came abreast of Neill he gave him a look of mean- ing and jerked his head slight in the ditection of up the roa It.was clearly a summons to follow Neill became a little hot. To come to heel at the beck of this repellent little man went against the grain, yet it was wiser not to diso! ‘y until he found out how { much Eyster knew. | So Neill left Virgil and strolled up the road with a wooden face. Just beyond the store the road took a turn to the left and, crossing the narrow neck, turned sharp to the i and followed the river bank. The shanty which served as a post office stood on the river corner, and Eyster waited for Neill in its shadow. All the other promenaders turned back before they eame to the river. Neill Bluffs It Ont L, what do you want?” asked Neill grimly. “Just to shake your hand,” said Eyster with his crazy grin. “You must give me that satisfaction. You're a fine fellow, and I’m your: friend.” Neill gave him his hand. He couldn’t trust his offers of friend- ship, And he didn’t want him for a friend anyhow. But he couldn’t quarrel with the man. ‘I see pee washed your pants,” said Eyster. “So it was you who sent me that note,” “Sure, I been keeping my eye you. “Since when?” “Since you rowed out to the yacht last night.” A chill struck through Neill. He bluffed it out. “You're crazy! I haven’t been on the yacht.” 5 is shouldn’t lie to each other,” said Eyster. “How did you know the yacht was here?” asked Neill. “I told you I had made my ar- rangements.” “When did you get here?” Eyster looked out over the river. Like a child, he made out to be deaf when he didn’t want to an- Swer a question. “Did you come alone?” asked Neill. “T am always alone.” “I reckon you were out rowing yourself last night.” “T have never been in a row- boat,” said Eyster. “I wouldn't mer how to ig an oar.” is how had the ring of truth. tf it wes true, Neill feted there was another unknown factor in the case. Meanwhile Eyster’s strange, tragic eyes were fixed on his face. “I wish I had a son like you,” he said unexpectedly. “You are my idea of what a young fellow ought to be—cool, hard and able. I would do anything for you. You can de- pend on me to the death.” This put Neill’s teeth on edge. Teo melodramatic. Even if sincere, which he doubted, the “friendship” of this crazy little man would terribly dangerous to him now, “If you want to do me a ser- vice, keep away from me, see? We must never be seen together. No- body must know that we are ac- quainted.” “Right!” said Eyster. “My idea exactly. Just this one meeting to cement <>e friendship. Then pass ag strangers. I'll go around by the beach ane you return by the road. Rely on me!” e went down the bank with a crazy wave of his hand, and Neill turned back down the road scowl- ing. The recret which he had sup- posed to be all his own was shared by another it seemed—and per! by two. It complicated the sik tion damnab!
