PAGE SIX OLD HOME WEEK MURDER by Phoebe Atwood Taylor The Characters Asey Mayo, Cape Cod sleuth. J. Arthur Brinley, pompus se- lectman. Yesterday: Asey thinks Brinley fs the .nan he has been chasing, until he notices that Brinley's shoes are much too clean to have been in the woods. i Chapter 34 The Last Billings “HE COULD have changea ’em.” Hamilton voiced Asey’s own thoughts. “Them, but he couldn’t have changed this whole outfit, Ham Look at them pants,” Asey said “Cuffs all clean. An’ his shirt. An’ collar. An’ tie. An’ then look at me. Hamilton, I wonder if 1 ain't been En much of a plumb out an’ out fool!” J. Arthur coughed. The cough said, plainer than words could have, that Asey had stated the case with admirable exactitude and clarity. “Brinley.” Asey said in a sub- dued voice, “What was you doing up there? What's your story?” ‘Why, after I got home,” Brinley said, “Walter Rutledge called and told me that Win Billings had run off, and would I help hunt for him. I'd got my clothes off, and I didn’t want to much, but I felt that I ought to. and Bessie was busy around the house—she hasn't had a speck of time to get things done, of course—and she said, why not help for a little while. She thought it was my place to. So I clianged my mind and told Walter I'd come—" “Those your usual clothes for huntin’ people on a wet night?” Asey asked. “Bessie had put out things for tomorro said, “and | never realized it until T got over to Walt's, later Walt said that Win had probably made for the woods somewhere, and | thought of the icehouse- -they say Vin lived there one winter- so came up here. | know. the way pretty well, because of taking Amos up so often. and I thought I'd just look here and then go. and I wouldn't get dirty As a matter of fact,” he added in a burst of honesty, “I didn’t think Win could have got this far from town, and I didn’t go all the way to the ice house at all. These are my last clean pants, and the cleaner’s man doesn't come till day afier tomor- row.” “Huh,” Asey said lots of others out Billin’s, too? “Oh, yes. Weston and Jeff Leach —that's why | thought I'd better 0, if they were taking the trou- le. There were a dozen or so oth- ers. Jeif and Wes had a town map. and were marking off spots where Win might be. and everyone had a spot to go to—” “Didn't you take any kind of fight with you?” “I had a flash, but I lost it in the woods,” Brinley said. “Who was you with durin’ the fireworks tonight? =“Sara, and Jane, and Jeff, and Bessie,” Brinley said, “and a lot of others. The fireworks weren't very good tonight. The dampness, I guess. There's no fog uptown now, and the radio says fair to- morrow, and I do hope it clears off for the tag day—" “When I stopped you an’ held you up,” Asey said, “why didn’t you tell me this?” Asey knew he was being unreasonable, but now that he knew for sure he had let his man slip through his fingers, he couldn't help being and sound- ing irritated. ‘You Got Him’ “} TRIED to,” J. Arthur said, “but —well, | was afraid. I've never liked firearms, and there you were, y clean Brinley “An there are huntin’ Win ea pene me in the stomach with it gun “Brinley,” Asey said, “have you the keys to your car? Give 'em to Ham —1 know, you don't like strangers drivin’ your auto, but do ‘ou want to walk back to the car? thought not. Hamilton, get his ear. We'll drive him back to the hollow. An’ drive me, too. I don’t su, e I was ever so weary in all my born days.” He felt very old and tired as he got out of the car at the Randall house. Lane ran up to him. “By George, Asey—you got him! How you did it, I don’t know or care, but—" “I didn’t.” Asey said just on a hunt—" ‘Who said anything about Brin- Fy A Come into the house and take a look—we found him. One of your shots got him in the shoulder. Not much, but enough to stop him, ap- Garently. He was down by the pond. Come on! And how you could ever hit him on a night like this, with this fog, 1 don't know! an, you’re wonderful— “Lane, are. you crazy?” Asey demanded. “Oh, come on! He even had “Brinley Anncuncement Of Marriage Miss. Barbara “Taylor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Taylor, has been advised of the marriage of her sister, Miss Mary Taylor, to Clifford Shaw, in Fort Lauder- dale, Fla., on April 19. The rewly-wedded couple will leave on June 1 for the home of the groom in Boston, Mass., where they will spend the sum- mer, and return to Florida when the winter season of 1939-’40 opens. Kay’s beret beside him—he’s the one, all right! Come on—” Walking mechanically, as though he had been wound up with a key, Asey followed Lane into the living room of the Ran- dall house. On the couch lay the haggard figure of a man! he was muddy and dirty, and his clothes were torn and his hair in wild disorder. Cummings, bending over him, obscured the man’s face. “Who?” Asey asked. blankly. “Who is it?” “Win Billings,” Cummings said. He—Why, Asey, you look about done up!” “T am. Win Billings—you mean, Win Billings?” “The last,” Cummings ripped in two a strip of adhesive tape, “the last Billings of Billingsgate. May- be you can get a word out of him. We can't. Nice ca wound, Asey. You're one of the few men | know who can shoot someone up with- out making a nasty mess for me. There. You'll recover, Win. In fact, you Roe off about as easy as Kay id. Asey sat down in a chintz-cov- ered arm chair. “Doce, this is sort of mixed up in my mind. Just what happened here?” “Ask Win," Cummings said. “Maybe he'll talk for you. He won’t for us, You'd think he’d taken a vow, or something. Not a peep out of him. Asey looked over at Win. “Lane,” he said, “you an’ the doc clear out fora few minutes, will you? Maybe I can settle this—” “J don’t trust him,” Lane said. “I'm going to stay. He’s playing possum. He’s not anywhere near as weably as he looks. And he’s so- er—” “Run along,” Asey said. ‘Kind Of Fed Up’ | Toes left reluctantly. Asey took out his pipe and then remem- bered he had no tobacco. He looked around, forgetting that there would probably be no tins of tobacco lurking about in an exclusively feminine house- hold. “In m' pocket,” Win said. “Coat’s on the chair.” “Thanks.” Asey fished around in the coat pocket until he found an oiled silk pouch. “Pretty swell, that,” he said. “Present, I guess?” “No good,” Win said. “Don’t taste right. “Same tobacco I use,” Asey re- marked. “Same I| use, too, but gimme t'bacco from a tin, I says to them wimmen. I don’t want no sashay bag!” “Kind cf fed up with Old Home Week; are you?” Asey inquired. Win Billings sat upright on the couch and spit with great accuracy into the fireplace. He was tal! and straight, and remarkably well-preserved for an old fellow, particularly one so rarely sober. His hands were amaz- ingly steady, and his voice firm, and the stubborn jutting of his chin interested Asey. A hawklike nose, a high forehead and a stub- born chin were Billings character- istics, to judge from the Town Hall portraits, but hitherto Asey re- membered no trace of such stub- bornness or force in Win. “Huh,” Win said. leaning back against the wall. “Damn this shoul- der, it’s worse’n rheumatiz. Look now, Asey Mayo. Did I ever ask anythin’ of ‘em? No. House? No. Food? No. R'lief? No. Pension? No Never asked nothin’ of nobody, ‘cept maybe t’bacco, an’ I done work for that.” “An’ they washed an’ dressed you up,” Asey said, “an’ they—” “An’ made a show of me!” Win said violently. “Won't stand for it. Won't stand it no longer. Said no. Mean it.” He drew a pipe from his pocket. “Gimme that pouch.” Asey filled his pipe and lighted it for him. “Win,” he said, “what’n time happened tonight?” fe “Put me t’bed, they did,” Win said bitterly, “seven — o'clock, Locked the door. I-got out the win- dow. Got out b’fore, if you want to know. This time I was through. Feller give me a ride up here. Nice feller, no nonsense about him. I says, gimme a lift, an’ he did.” “Headin’ for the ice house, huh?” Win nodded. “Well, kind of lost m’bearin’s in the fog. N’en first thing I know, someone starts shootin’—one, two, three. Right to me. Says to me’self then, I says, b’golly, | am through! Won't stand it no longer. They can shoot me full of holes like a sieve 'f they’re a mind to, | says, but no more showin’ off for ‘em. Why? Never asked ‘em for nothin’. Why sh'd I have to dress up for ‘em? That's what I says to m'self! Cel'bration! They don't know how to hold no cel’bration, Asey! Take like when the Gen'ral come. Turkey red car- pets, urns full of flowers, silk hats an’ Prince Alberts, plenty to eat, plenty to drink— Asey, I thought it all, over, an’ it ain't right. They can shoot me all they're a mind to, but it ain't right. Won't stand for it no more, neither!" Continued tomorrow.

It also appears that it is not customary to mail no- tices of the fact that books are open as well as stating the plot and the amount of taxes due. As the owner of other property in a Florida community con- siderably smaller than this, I re- ceive annually a postcard giving the necessary information. I believe such an act on the part of our city might help somewhat, especially with out of town own- ers of property. A partial pay- ment plan, such as was tried a few years ago, might help to gain some back taxes. A NEWCOMER. of the San. Carlos Institute, gave‘ the nation, who, by their scholas- | Key West, an interesting talk about the eye- sight and its preservation; and also explained the many benefits jthat are now. being received through the activities of the school organization.
