YESTERDAY: Although the police have officially given up the case of the missing professor, the Commissioner prevails on the District Attorney to send his son Michael to live on the campus. He wants to know who sent the note saying “Where are Professor Murchison’s diamonds?” Chapter Three Tuck Wonders “ [AT*is on your mind?” Mi- chael asked his wife. Tuck thrust her arm through his. “Come on over and sit down,” she commanded, leading him back to the step and dropping down be- side him. She put her elbow on her knee and was in the act of propping her chin on her hand again when Michael took possession of both hands and held them firmly. “Look me in the eye,” he said, when she struggled, “and answer the following questions, first, who is she? And second, third, fourth and fifth, what’s on your mind?” Tuck sighed again, and not being able to use her hands, pushed her hair behind her ear with the point of Michael's shoulder. “Well.” she said, “ it really isn't much, 1 was just thinking.” “Suffering p Tuck lau le tled hersel. comfortably. “After all,” she capitulated, “it WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1939 looking at her house and garden?” “Well,” Tuck said frankly, “not quite. She called on me today.” “A-ha! At last! Is this your guilty secret?” “Of course not. It isn’t any secre’ dumb-bell. She should have on me today..We’ve been here exe actly a week; and the curtains were all uP. esterday.” . Git now that you’ve answered question number one,” Michael suggested). “what about the other. four?: What’s on your mind? Miss Lissey’s future? Or did she gna something to you that started this fit of thinking?” “Yes. She did. I don’t. think she intended to—or maybe she did— but anyway, I’ve been puzzling about it ever since. It. sounds so crazy I wasn’t. going to tell. you. But...” She faced him, her brown eyes very serious. “Michael, is your father... Do you know what cases he's working on just now?” Michael raised his eyebrows. He lit a cigarette with extreme care before he answered her. “Not ex- actly, no,” he said. “I haven’t seen him for a week or so. Why?” ‘Glimmerings’ “WELL .. .” She rescued her hand and traced the veins on -;:1 just wondered. You know, he simply never does anything with- out a:reason. I just got.to. wonder- ing how he heard about this house in the first place, and what made him think of us, and why he paid Tuck had something on her mind, Michael knew. may not be much. It may be mostly imagination.” Michael waited. “She is Miss Lissey, Miss Alix Lissey,” she informed him. Michael groaned, “Have we got to live next door to her?” “Do you know her?” “T took Latin from her ten years ago. It nearly killed me.” ‘I can see how it might,” Tuck said grimly. “Do you know her, Tuck?” “T've been looking at her house for a week. It looks like an old maid’s dream, It’s as prim as a prune box and the inside is stuffed full of painted cushions and batik curtains and arty furniture.” ‘ou’ve been inside?” “No. She’s had everything out- side. House-cleaning.” “T still don’t see, from your de- scription of her house, how you know anything about her.” “Well... well, look at her gar- den. She's old enough to have it full of mignonette and lavender and phiox and sweet-william and things like that, But it isn’t. It’s all modernistic with bright colors and hard lines, Her house is like that too. I can’t explain .. . but. if she were the kind of nice quiet person who had another kind of garden, and big shabby armchairs and comfortable furniture, and wore clothes to suit her, I'd like her. ‘That kind of modernistic experi- menting is all right for young peo- ple who don’t know what they’re going to be, but when a woman = to fifty she ought to settle lown instead of being unhappy and dissatisfied with what she’s got and trying to pretend she’s young.” ‘A Beagling Look’ L praiges hunched up his shoul- ders and shivered. “Thank Heaven I’m not a woman,” he said fervently. “Michael, I'm not being mean. I wouldn't tell anybody else what I thought about her. I suppose, real- ly, I'm a little bit sorry for her. She won't let herself be happy. She oes around with a... beagling look all the time hunting for some- thing that went past years and the rent on it before we said we wanted it, and—and everything.” Michael put his head on one side and looked at her, his gray eyes narrowed, “I see,” he said. “That is, I begin to get glimmerings. You doubt my eminent parent's inten- tions? That is, you wonder if, per- haps, his feelings as the District Attorney have somehow colored his natural decisions as a father? In other words, if he has something up his sleeve? Is that it?” “THat’s it. 1don’t see why I think so, but I do. It’s a lovely house. The loveliest house I ever saw. I’ rather live out here behind the campus than anywhere in the world, I think—with the woods so close—right at our back door—and such a marvelous erything so peaceful and lovely. But I happen to know that these houses belong to the University— and one of the things Miss Lissey said today was that it was the first time she’s ever known one of these houses to be rented to anyone not a faculty member. And this is the nicest house of all.” “Did you suggest that possibly the fact that most of the campus houses are empty for the vacation had something to do with our get- ting it?” “Yes, and she says she’s been here fifteen years and they’ve been empty every vacation and it’s never been done before, And she asked me right out—right ou! chael, if you weren’t Michael For- rester that was the District Attor- ney’s son. And when I said ‘yes,’ she Sep her lips and straight- ened her pince-nez, and pulled her red hat down hard on one side and got up to go.” “Meaning what?” “I don’t know. But she didn’t like it at all. She didn’t like it when she asked me what your occupation was and I told her you were a law- yer, She doesn’t want us to be here, and she's going to make it as un- pleasant as she can. Why, her silly old cat even fights with Agamem- non! As if it were any use! Aga- memnon can lick it cold in one round.” ars ago.” 7 cAnd you know all that just by TRANSPORTATION Cuba Brought 29 From Havana Steamship Cuba of the P. anit ratiy weak beginners. O. S. S.
