MONDAY, NOVEMBER. 27, iTne Cree YESTERDAY: Convinced that they have come to the University for @ purpose and that Michaet is holding out on her, Tuck decides i to investigate. She invents a pre- text for calling on Mrs. Murcht- — who formerly lived in their ouse. Chapter Seven Feminine Curiosity i THOUGHT 1 left nothing in the house,” said Mrs. Murchison. .“Just this book,” Tuck said. “I didn’t think the book was impor- tant—perhaps it had belonged to your maid. But it had in it a lovely carved ivory bridge pencil for a marker, and I thought you might not like to lose it.” There was a tinge of hot color at the base of Mrs. Murchison’s throat as she took “The Bartered Bride” from Tuck's hands. “Thank you for the pencil,” she said. “My maid, yes.” “And this pipe,” Tuck went on. “If your husband is as devoted to his old pipes as mine is...” she stopped. Mrs. Murchison had dropped the book. Both hands were at her heart. She was staring at the pipe in Tuck’s hand with some terrible surmise in her face, __ “The pipe—he has had it study- ing in Germary——” “Then I'm glad I found it,” Tuck said equably. The woman looked up. “Where have you found it?” she said tense- ly. “It is never out of his hand.” . “1 found it in the little drawer just under the leaf for the Wd aa writer—in the biz desk in the study, Mrs. Murchison,” Tuck re- by Frances Shelley Weds ————__~ 1639 ry Trojans Stay In ing posed herself fo sleep again: when 4 an idea struck her which wakened | her like a dash of ice water. i} Anthony Kelly’s bat and the What was the cat doing here? 1 3 4 :piteching of Dickey Navarro gave Shee Mera atios aha | the Jeague-leading Trojans a 7-1 doors and windows. were locked; | decision over the Blue Sox and its and yet, here he was! sixth consecutive victory, while With a thi ing heart she reached out cau ously and turned | the Key West Conchs were on the little lamp beside her bed. ;}awarded a 9-0 forfeit over the uae we ine peacefully | Pirates in a 1-1 tie contest that with his back turned, and she had | i free-for-all argu- to cross three feet of dark floor be- jee kecveae avers in 99 pages ia areca first-half of the tenth inning <pBhe putter head tantly over his } when a Conch rally sent two run- He groaned ; [ners across home plate to change § : i d 1-3 in “Michael!

That afternoon, when Bunny came out from a halfday relieving at the office, she had something more to add to the picture. Tuck, almost bursting to tell her ot the events of the morning, had gone to the University to meet her and as they walked back through the dim green woodland path had told her cf the affair of the pipe. “She had a terribly frightened look, Bunny—surprised and fright- ened. Now why? Why should the sight of an old pipe your husband had left behind, even if he had had it ever since he was a student in Germany—why should that up- set a woman so?” “I don’t think it was the pipe that upset her,” Bunny said slowly. “I think it was the fact of your having it” “What do you mean, Bunny?” “Why—lI thought I'd do a little! pleuthing too. So | telephoned the University and asked for Dr. Mur- chison——” she broke off sudden- ly, and looked at Tuck. “You re- member, Tuck, that Higgins was quite willing to tell where Mrs. Murchison was, and where the brother was, but when it came to Dr. Murchison himself he wiggled and squirmed?” “Yes—and Michael, right after he had finished saying that he didn’t know 2 thing about the Mur- chisons, asked where Dr. Murchi- son was!

So I phoned his wife.” “Bunny—go on!” “Well”—Bunny stopped, pulled eff her hat and lifted her face to ythe cool evening breeze—“Well— I thought I'd better be a little wary *—so I said I was the Customs Office and had a box of books for~Dr. Murchison and that there was duty on them!” “Go on, Bunny—you’re“exas- perating.” “Yes, dear. And I asked for Dr. Murchison’s address to notify him.” “And wiiat did she say?” : “Well, she waited a little while before she answered me, and then she said she'd tell him herself.” “Oh,” Tuck said disappointedly. <.-4, | door, did not notice. . | er “I thought maybe . . .
