The committee expires; with this match so they want it ond game, Key West Lions Club five beat the Army quintet, 39 worth fifty thousand dollars,” the District Attorney said. Tuck drew a deep breath. “We've accomplished something,” she said. “We’ve made the first grade.” Bunny had a tinge of bright color in her cheeks. “I’m glad,” she said happily. “Somehow it seems to clear the air. There’s something tangible to fasten to. Somewhere to start from.” “And,” said Michael, “a million questions to answer. Who put the diamonds there? Are they Mur- chison’s, or did he steal them, and hide them where they’d never be brought out as evidence against him? Or is there some other queer business wrapped up in them?” “I shouldn’t be surprised,” his father said dryly, “if, from what you've told me of her, his wife didn’t have a hand in any thievery that went on.” “You mustn’t be prejudiced, dad. Wait until you get a look at her. She’s very good looking.” Tuck sniffed, but her heart was not in it. There was, for the first time, a hint of some serious emo- tion in her eyes. “I don’t just like it,” she said. “I don’t think I really believed any of it before. Now I know some of it’s true. It makes me wonder...” The District Attorney put his hand for a moment on her bright hair. He frowned. “How would you like to go down to the lake for awhile?” he inquired. “The cot- tage is empty. It’s a nice lake.” Tuck leaned back and stared up at him. “A lake?’ “Um, A lake. I hear there’s a new pier, and regattas and the like. Dancing, perhaps.” “I think that’s a fine idea, dad,” Michael said enthusiastically. “I could drive down week-ends and the girls could stay there all the time.” “I like it here,” Tuck said point- edly. “No doubt you do, my dear. But I’m afraid they'll be wanting the house for a new professor. In fact, I heard something to that effect today.” He knitted his brows. “That's just too bad, Father For- rester. Bunny, do you want to go to the lake?” “No.” said Bunny flatly. “And neither dol. So, since we’ve taken the house . .. since we were inveigled into taking the house for three months, we'll just stay right here. And that’s settled.” She smiled wickedly at him. “But, look here, Tuck,” Michael began. “We've done what we came out to do. The diamonds are found.” She shook her head. “Nothing doing, you two. Your motives are as clear as crystal, and we know Michael dropped into his chair at the breakfast table next morn-| ing, with a cheerful remark about the state of the weather. He was answered in Kind. There was not the slightest evidence that mys- tery and even crime were in the air. “Everybody happy?” he in- quired solicitously. “Of course,” Tuck replied. She stra ueenen the asters in the bowl on the table. “Why not?” port that a gentleman had called to see Mr. Forrester. “He says it isn’t important, he’ll wait,” she Tepeated the message, but Mi- chael had gone. He came back in a moment, followed by Professor Jared Devoe, who was rubbing his hands. “Mr. Devoe called on a little matter of business,” Michael ex- plains to Tuck as she held out er hand to her guest, “and I in- sisted that he have coffee with us.’ “Why, that’s lovely,” Tuck re- plied. “We're glad to have you, Mr. Devoe. Michael, do hand me an- other cup from the cabinet, will you?” Explanation DEVOE bowed to Bunny and turned back to Tuck. “I’m sure I had no intention of intrucl- ing this way, Mrs. Forrester, it was just ...I assure you I didn’t dream of your breakfasting so early, and I saw Mr. Forrester out in the garden, and wanted to have a little talk with him.” “But you must have a cup of coffee first. Michael hasn’t had foggy until he does.” She smiled at her husband, smoothed ‘down her crisp yellow linen frock, and picked up the silver coffee pot. “Cream and sugar, Mr. Devoe?” of hesitation, in the chair Michael had brought up for him. “Very well, then , . . just cream, please. It is very kind of you. I...” he laughed deprecatingly. “The fact of the matter is, I haven’t had any breakfast yet, although I rose early. I—I had rather forgotten about it.” . that is not a thing I'm at all likely to do,” Michael replied. He took his cup from Tuck’s out- stretchéd hand. “Nor I, ordinarily, ;.-” he sipped his coffee, set down the cup and turned to Bunny. He surveyed her cool green dress and her smooth dark hair with evident approval. “I hope you are enjoy- ing your stay on the campus, Miss Temple?” Bunny’s eyes, at his full-lidded heavy glance, took on a look that Tuck always thought of as “fath- what's bothering you. You think that since this has turned out to be a real honest to goodness crime, instead of just a simple little mys- tery, you'll get us out of here... and have all the fun to yourselves. Well. we're not going. At least, I'm not going. They’re not going to murder me, and they’re not go- ing to murder Bunny nor Michael. We haven't done anything as far as they know . .. whoever they are. There isn’t the slightest dan- ger. and there’s a tremendous lot of things I want to know. As I said before, I’m staying. Bunny?” “Of course. If we must die, we die together.” “The case won't be in my hands, dear,” the District Attorney oat, abandoning all ® pretense. “The Commissioner will ‘take charge now, and put detectives to work again. You've done all you can. Anything else will be imped- omless.” There was a veil before their gray depths as she answered, “Very much, thank you.” “We must try to provide you with adequate entertainment,” he went on. “There is very little to do out here on the campus. However, there are some interesting wood- land paths hereabout,” he said in- gratiatingly. “Do you care for walking?” “Not particularly,” said Bunny coolly. Devoe took his rebuff calmly. “My mother and Mrs. Murchison will perhaps be calling on you within a day or two, Mrs. Forrest- er. That is...” he turned to Mi- chael with what he may have con- sidered to be an engaging air of frankness. “I think I shall just dis- cuss my errand this morning here in the presence of the ladies. After all, it is possible that an explana- tion of some sort will be due Mrs. ing the course of justice.” Tuck looked at him critically. “Detectives, poof,” she said. “Still, that last was a very, very good line. ‘Impeding the course of jus- tice.’ It certainly was. How do you think those things up, Father For- — They’re simply wonder- " ‘Woman’s Place’ “TT’S no use, dad. She’s on. We stay,” said Michael ruefully. “The Commissioner will be very glad to have us,” Tuck explained to her father-in-law carefully. “He'll do everything he can to make our visit here enjoyable. {m_sure he will.” “I wouldn’t pet it past him,” he said gruffly. “He'll use your in- quisitiveness and your boldness to food advantage.” “Now, is that nice?” She patted his hand in swift contrition. “I'm sorry. I'm just terribly sorry, but {m not sorry enough to go away and never find out anythi more. { believe firmly that n’s place is in the home.” “I think you're unnecessarily alarmed,” said Bunny. “No one really suspects us.

Michael frowned in polite attention. “T'm sure we shall understand,” Tuck murmured at random. “Isn't your mother very well, Mr. De- voe?” He put his coffee cup down on the table carefully. “It is not that,” he replied slowly. “I speak, of course, in riddles. ee say sim= ply. that she is ill and ask you to forgive her. But I prefer to tell the exact truth to you, since I in- tend to consult Mr. Forrester, as a lawyer, on the matter. My mother,” he said after a moment's patse, “israther upset at this time.
