THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1939 Rv Virginia Hansen ‘The Characters Katherine Cornish, myself, vis- iting Elizabeth on a mid-western Army post. Elizabeth, Colonel Wright's daughter. Adain Drew, acting command- ing officer. Yesterday: Barney’s notes indi- cate that he was on the trail of @ hidden relative. Chapter 31 Under The Microscope I CONTINUED reading to Adam. “‘Carewe — typical self-made man. Not brainy, but solid. Inevi-+ table humility of a man up from the ranks. “Mrs, C.—enigma. Have seeh her three times and then only for a few minutesran like a fright- ened rabbit. Can’t find out nature of her iliness. Anne avoids subject, but E. insists nothing wrong with her at all. Deep-rooted inferiority? “‘Anne drinks too much—see above. Could this be inherited tendency? Anne very childish about discussions of hereditary traits—very ill informed and in- clined to scoff at accepted laws. Must see to it she is better in- formed. “Elizabeth. Good mind—slow, but intelligent listener. Behavior remarkably normal, except for small habit patterns. Very like her father, who is an intelligent, supe- rior type. Have had very inspiring talks with her., Simple but sane views.’” 1 paused. “The next seems to have been added later, with an in- delible pencil. “‘—. has prudish tendencies. Perhaps puritan upbringing.’” “Not very profound, is he?” Adam queried. “Rather a heavy, plodding mind—misses the subtle- ties. But he seems to have waded through a lot of stuff — emerged with some of the jargon. ... Go on.” I turned a pase, read_ aloud, “‘adam Drew,” before I could stop myself. Then my eyes leaped down the lines and my tongue faltered. 5 “Go on,” said Adam’s quiet “The man’s a fool,” I said shortly. “What right has he to put anyene under the microscope? We're all a litle queer.” But Adam was not to be dis- tracted. He said calmly, “Are you going to read that?” He was not olushing. His ex- pence was rather set, his eyes lank, 1 don’t know why, but I thought he was braced for a blow. My eyes traveled down the lines once more in the lenghtening silence. “Adam Drew—fascinating sub- Ject.for. analy: Almost, .total Teticence concerning Selt. Have never heard him speak of home, parentage, brothers, sisters. Seclu- siveness in midst of group—in the crowd but not of it. Treats all women with impersonal gallantry. “N. B. Women sense a lack. Is he in flight from some past injury? Seems to have erected defense against all contact, “What is his family skeleton?” “No, I’m not going to read it,” I said at last. “It’s drivel.” I threw down the notebook, crossed the room. “It’s nearly morning. I’m going to change. I'll Le back presently.” Adam was snatching up the brown notebook as I opened the study door. Chink In The Armor ‘TH upstairs hall was quiet, but there was a thread of light under a room door. I passed it, t on the light in my room and stood blinkering in terrified unbelief. My suitcase was bv the bed, where I had left it, locked on Charlie's &, It was not locked now. The lid was up and the con- knees, plunge: both hands into the disorder, then rose and s' it me. The gun was gone, and the otherwise orderly room gave no clue to the intruder. Everything was as I had left it —no, not everything. Little Women was gone from the bedside table, and on the blue- and-white candlewick bedspread my evening ol Rae lying in the midst of its spil contents. Adam came lea) up the steps at my low-voi , and when he had heard my story and seen for himself that the gun was gone my wrongs overcame me and all my frightened, resentful, humi- liated tears overflowed onto the stiff white bosom of Adam’s mess jacket. . He held-me very sobbed that 1 couldn’t stand any more, until presently I could lod at him without tears drowning my ntly while | vision and perceived that he was | ffering. My tears dried instantly in a | flash of indecent triumph. So he was not insusceptible; I had found | the chink in the armor, the crack in the glass house. _ And then I remem) aymipsaatinaliy | see unsympathet ly and, turning my back on him, snatched from muttered the top of the tumbled suitcase | the first thing that came to hand to mop my drenched countenance.

There’s no hurry Ue pee It was just. an absurd idea of mine to get things—more orderly before Colo= nel Wright gets back... .” “Pm not going to sleep,” I said childishly. “As soon as I’ve washed and changed I’m coming down again. I don’t want to be alone.” He said, “If you really feel that way ,..” let a brief smile warm his face, and vanished. A Martinet HILE I washed and combed and powdered ahd got into a | linen dress that was not too crumpled I thought about his wish to get things more orderly before Colonel Wright's arrival and de- cided that what he really wanted was a confession, signed, sealed and delivered. He wanted to avoid the light of day for much that would have to be told. I had met and liked Colonel Wright on my previous visit, but Thad not been blind to his tenden- cies as a martinet. Like Elizabeth, he would not understand about Charlie, nor about Barney’s note- book. And he would certainly not approve of the episode of Anne and young Wheeler. Those things, and others similar to them, would assume in his eyes an unjustified importance. What action, if any, would fol- low his disapproval I wa: in no position to predict. I did know that there was a dreaded annual docu- ment known as an efficiency report made out by every commandant on each officer in his contingent, whereby the junior coul be either openly black-listed or damned with faint praise. And even a woman, I had heard, could be sent off an army post for cause. nd while I did not. ‘believe Colonel Wright wes @ vindictive man; neverttieless there was about him the same rigid, unfaltering devotion to principle that marked his daughter. Forgetting my own problems in a sudden desire to help Adam at- tain his almost impossible wish, I turned out my light and tiptoed down to the library. I don’t know how long we pored over my amorphous notes, check- ing, listing, discarding, theorizing. Finally Adam sat back and summed up. “Tt amounts to this then: we have three murders—or their equivalent, for while Anne and the sentry may live, they were intended to die. Taking them in order, the first could have been committed by any one of the group except Barney and you and me— and probably Mrs. Flower and Doc Moore, with whom she was danc- Ing. Sisumber two—Ethel Curtis— could have been_committed by anyone but Mrs, Flower and me, Charlie and a eee Shaws, Barney and Elizabeth, whose alibis are interdependent. “Number three, the sentry, could have been committed by anyone but you and me and prob- ably Charlie and Barney. “That leaves us with no alibi of any kind for Lou Orpington, Cap- tain Flower, Annie——” “And poor ones for Charlie, esneti Doc Moore and Eliza- Adam groaned. “And that seems to eliminate practically no one.” “How about motive?” “The motive has something to do with Ethel Curtis, of that Pn certain. Though how that links up with Anne-——” “You believe the same person was responsibie for both?” “Yes. I don’t know why I think so, but I do.” (Copyright, 1988, Virginia Hanson) Tomorrow: Gathering at the hospital.
