WEDNESDA e Cree Y¥, NOVEMB: ER 2. 19389 ing Man by Frances Shelley Wees THE KEY WEST CITIZEN « TODAY'S COMMON ERROR Never say, “That is all I SHE Or Does It? And Will Jaycees expect keen competi- Letter Advises Of Birth News was received this morn- \tion, from Key West Beauties YESTERDAY: After the study ts broken into, Michael tells Tuck and Bunny about Murchison’s dis- @ppearance, and the anonymous diamond note. In turn, Tuck tells him about the professor's pipe. Looking in the drawer, where Tuck found the pipe, Michael finds a piece of paper with the print of a bloody hand. Chapter Nine , Invitation To Bridge MCH4EL had crumpled that . paper in his hand slowly, as if unconcerned; and neither of the irls had seen the telltale stain. hat the rusty dark pattern was made by blood he had not the slightest doubt; and, as he lay awake in the early morning hours there had come to him a strange Picture. The picture of a man, Seated at the big desk, a shaded lamp throwing the light on the Papers before him; of the open drawer holding his pencils at his right hand. Of something coming out of the shadows there behind him .. . something . . . the pipe had dropped from nerveless fin- gers into the open drawer; the hand in agony had grasped and crushed the corner of the news- Paper lying there. But was it a true picture? If it was, if it had been Murchison’s hand that had left bloody stains on the paper, where had the blood come from? And if... if a mur- derous hand had left the stains, how had it clutched and left the Paper? Michael’s face when he came to the breakfast table next morning betrayed nothing but the quietest mind. Murder, he had decided, was not to lie within the con- sciousness of his wife—if he could help it. Not that she had not wit- nessed it before now: but, of course, she had not been his wife then, and he had not been respon- sible for her. The little breakfast room was bright with sun. “It’s queer,” said Tuck, pouring out the coffee, “that Charlotte Jean didn’t hear the commotion last night and come down, cur] papers and all. She sleeps right above the kitchen. I don’t see how she could have helped hearing it.” “Did you ask her?” looked up from his toast. _ “No. I thought if she didn’t hear it, it might be as well to leave her in ignorance, after what Gordon said about maids and burglars. Michael,” Tuck demanded, “what did he mean? About burglars?” Michael considered. “He doesn't know anything, Tuck. I imagine he's.been reading mystery stories or listening to some ignorant maid.” He looks like a bright young- Bunny murmured. hariotte Jean, immaculate in blue and white. her sparse hair crinkly beneath her cap, came in ith a tray. “It's the mail, Mrs. ‘orrester, ma’am.” she explained, holding it out to Tuck. “Oh.

[t's so nice and quiet.” “Don't you find it lonely?” “Oh, no. I was raised on a farm. There's a lot of people around here.” She blushed under Mi- chael’s scrutiny. “I get awful tired of them fool girls in town, she went on hastily. “All they ever think about is shopping at the ten cent store and going to the mov- ies” She mode her exit. Michael cocked a reflective eye after her | Uneanny Luck T’S the gardener,” Tuck said absontly. her eyes stil] on the letter in ber hand. “You might Know it.” “Tough. We'll probably lose her. Is he the only man around?” “Apparently. But don’t worry— she'll find some more. It's a letter from Mrs.’ Deane,” she went ons without a pause. Bunny looked at her frowningly until she under- stood. Michael pulled one ear as he thought it over. Tuck went right on. “She wants us to go over and spend the evening.” “Tonight?” “Umhm.” “Do we go?” She looked up at him and low- ered her tone. “It’s so lucky for us it's almost uncanny,” she said. “I almost believe your father’s had his finger in this pie, too. Listen to what she says. ... ‘Il hope you'll excuse the haste and informality of the invitation, but I thought it would be nice for yau to meet your neighbors, and so I have asked three tables for tonight, just the people on the campus and Duncan Murchi to make the twelfth. Please tell your husband it’s only dinner jackets, quite informal, and T do hope you can come.” “Three tables?” Michael: in- quired blankly.

Michael groaned. “Such” stupidity,” said Tuck evenly, “I have rarely encount- ered. Bridge, as bridge, is never played at a mixed party. One talks. One listens. One gathers im- pressions.” “Where does she get twelve?” “Well — apparently, two Mc- Bains, three Forresters, two Deans, one Lissey, two Devoes and Mrs. Murchison and Duncan. That’s twelve.” “I forgot Mrs. Devoe,” Bunny murmured, helping herself to the wriggled marmalade. - “Isn't it grand?” ek ecstatically. “Just think of all we'll be able to find out? There’s simply no place like a bridge table for watching people’s expressions and sizing them up without their sus- pecting it.” Michael frowned a little. “Don’t let them see you doing it, honey,” he warned. Tuck was insulted. “You forget that I have an L.Q., Michael,” she said bitterly. “T apologize,” he said handsome- ly. “IT apologize abjectly.” “You'd better. 1 suppose you think Pd walk right into that: | hint and ask | bunch of people an: questions, and—I’m ashamed of you. Don’t you suppose I realize that this is about the trickiest case a person could possibly handle? We don’t know anything, and we don’t know that anny else knows anything, and maybe no- body does, and yet we don’t dare take our eyes off them for fear they do.” ‘Bloodthirsty’ “T UCID,” Bunny congratulated her. Tuck put her tongue out. “And what’s more, Michael Forrester,” she went on, “I notice that you didn’t tell us, fast ara just what you’d been doing to find out about the Missing Professor.” “Not much. I’ve been hangin; about at the University a bit, ani asking questions here and there, but I’ve really been waiting for matters to take their course here in the house, my love. In other words, I’ve been depending on your little nose to smell] things out and tell me.” “If you'd told me sooner I'd have smelled out a lot more things.” “Undoubtedly. But you might have been heard sniffing.” Bunny put down her coffee cup. “I should scarcely call this an ele- gant mode of conversation for a breakfast table.” “I don’t believe in elegance,” Tuck said firmly. “And what's more—if you're going to talk about murder you've got to use bleody words.” “Murder?” said Michael with lifted brows. “Well, what else?” Tuck de- manded. “He’s gone, isn’t he? He isn't anywhere around the coun- try. He didn’t walk anywhere, or tide anywhere, and if he did, he didn’t get anywhere. This isn’t like a tremendous big city, where he might be hiding in somebody’s cellar. And if he committed sui- cide, what did he do with his body? Unless he fell in the river by accident.” “He'd turn up down-stream if he did,” Bunny said. “And he bag ae he, Michael?” “No.” “So, somebody must have mur- dered him. We're looking for a murderer and some stolen dia- monds and a body. You can’t hang anybody unless you produce a body, can you, Michael?” “Tuck, you sound positively bloodthirsty. You look like a two- year-old baby sitting there in that pink dress, and you talk about murders and bodies and hangings as calmly as an executioner. It’s indecent. It isn’t right.” “It’s just too bad that you fee) that way, Michael. It’s very foolish of you. You ought to be glad that Bunny and I are hardened crea- tures. Some. Pople would weep and wail and shudder and get afraid of the.dark. I don’t see any sense in it. What we've got to do is decide which of these people killed Professor Murchison and how they did it, and why, and get them arrested, and then move back to our own little bungalow. I can’t say that I’m any too pleased with your father for putting us into it without consulting us, and I am certainly: going to give him a piece of my mind; but now we are in it I wouldn't leave for ten million dollars until it’s settled, and I am not Vince to get all shivery about it.

He drew a deep breath. “I am relieved,” he said after a moment. “I have a fear —1 confess — that this thing may not turn out to be very pleas- ant.

That stirring contest climaxed a dispute arising from the com- plaint of an Independence rural carrier that the stench of mailed limburger made him ill while he was making delivery. His post- master, Warren F. Miller, barred | limburger from Independence, mails. To Miller’s cry that limburger’s ality was anaesthetic, Post- | master John Burkhard of Mon-| roe answered, “You mean esthe- | tic’, and offered to prove his} point. \ fo a) So on neutral ground—in a Du-| buque, Ia., hotel—the postmasters met over quantities of choice Green county cheese, rye bread and what goes with them. Burk- hard attacked by hoving the; limburger under’ Miller’s The latter retreated, then capitu- lated, and helped Burkhard de- vour the evidence; Limburger: re- mained mailable. | Now Cheesemaker Ernest See- | holzer is giving the mass produc- tion test to laboratory experts’ | experiments looking toward sup- pressing the odor. The theory | amounts to this: Since the bac- | teria needed in limburger mak- ing give off hydrogen sulfide—} cause of the smell—the (to some | people) offensiveness can be re-! duced by scientific control of the | organisms introduced during the | manufactyring and curing proc-! esses. : H TO PICK ON, AP Feature Service | MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 29.—There | was. it seems, a slight case of | mistaken address. 3 A customer bought some} groceries, tendered a $10 check | and received $8 change.
