THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1939 YESTERDAY: Gordon tells Mi- chael that first his boat was swiped, then his dog killed, but he'll “get even.” An analysis shows no poison in the meat, but @ scrap of it kills a cat, Chapter 28 Garden Party | WAS Saturday afternoon be- fore the Sunday of Tuck’s gar- den party. Michael sat on the edge of his father’s desk, swinging his legs, and looking gioomily over the drab city roofs visible through the open window. His father sat at the big desk, whistling tunelessly. be-. tween his teeth. Michael had been talkin; went on with hisstory. “So I tried to figure it out,” he said. “It seemed to me that there must be some reason why it should be the meat that he .. . to use Gor- don’s term . . . chose to poison.” “You just got through saying it wasn’t poisoned,” his father said| sharply. Michael glanced at him, “Per- haps I did,” he said mildly, “But of course it was, The dog died. The cat died. What Jethro meant was that it wasn’t poisoned with any- thing he knew anything about. With anything that had any known reaction. But we should have died very suddenly if we had eaten that meat.” “You're moving immediately?” “No. We're not moving.” “Ye've got to, lad.” } “No. It’s too late. It wouldn’t do any good to move. He doesn’t know how much we know, you see. We're on our guard now. Watchin, - . at least, I am. The girls don’t, know of course. They think the dog had a fit, or I hope they do.” John Forrester compressed his lips. “Ye’re the only boy I’ve got,” he said shortly. “Always thinking of yourself, aren't you?” Michael said re- proachfully. The District Attorney glared. Michael lit a cigarette. “As I was saying,” he went on,| “I wondered why it was the meat} and not the soup or the pudding. Or the bread. And I found out.” “Why then?” “Well, you see, it’s this way. The butcher boy came without the meat. He left the shop with it—he was sure. Anyway, I phoned the butcher, and asked. So we came to} the conclusion that the meat w intercepted on the way. Why t! meat? Because, my well. beloved 2. He father, the groceries and all the|™ rest of the supplies come from the city, direct to our dour; while the butcher is on this side of town, and invariably sends the meat supply to the University first. The boy stops his cart there at the back door of the residences, and carries. in| armloads of supplies. And, while he is carrying in armloads of sup- lies, the meat for the Horseshoe is +-. where? It should be reposing wacefully in the cart, waiting to taken for a further ride.” “Well?” “Well, it wasn't.” “Where was it?” Michael took an envelope from} his et. From it he drew a} square of butcher’s paper. In the center of it-was a hole, a neat round hole that might have been punched out with a lead pencil, save that it bore no pencil marks. Michael held it up. Ay Oe see that hole?” “Of cou #3 “Syringe,” said Michael laconi- call Animal Souls eous poison that leaves no trace. Hypodermic so that he doesn't have to untie the parcel. I don’t think our friend intended to take the parcel from the cart, no. But he'd scarcely dare stand there too long, even in the covered areaway where the cart was. I think he barely got his hands on it when he heard something — footsteps'prob- Jared Devoe’s elaborately structed alibi for them, and consid- ering the fact that Tuck wag violat- ing one of society’s rules in invitin; them when they had not called upon her. But in spite of every- thing, they came, at four o’clock— almost too promptly, Tuck thought, Mrs. Mure! had gowned her- self in red... a color quite inapr propriate for Sanda: in, the-garden but Mrs, Murehison ob- MORALS was not, thinking.-of the garden. ~ Her eyes flashed’ at Michel she shoe hands with en, a Tuck got a sudden shock, a-sudden insight into the. woman’s; mind, Did she think that her smile might accomplish what Devoe’s disarm- .ing manner had failed to do? Tuck ‘stiffened: mentally. “We're so glad you could come, Mrs, Murchison,” she-said sweetly, “We have been looking. forward to coming,” the red lips said, just as sweetly. The eyes were. so dent it was difficult to read any expres- sion in them, Subjects, For Conversation ] RS, Devoe stood behind her She looked ill. Her eyes, were heavy and lustérless, and. the flesh on her cheeks hung flabby and pendulous as if she had suddenly lost weight. She.was in biack. again, a heavy shapeless black, that some- how seemed more sinister that the red. Tuck shook herself. “It’s a lovely day, Mrs. Devoc.” “Yes.” Her hand was limp—limp and cold, “ZL think you'll find this: chair comfortable,” Miphael said. ac, greeted her. She sank: into it with- out a word of thanks, and sat © ere al: afternoon as inscrutable as any Buddha/‘Inscrutable, but. never un- noticing. Her heavy.eyes saw-every movement. . Her son was.as: affable and pol- ished as ever. He complimented Tuck on the condition of the gar- den, and moved on to Busny, with suspicious haste, Bunny sat quietly in her chair, and let him. talk into her-ear without evincin’; the slight- est interest in what he was saying. Mrs. Murchison and Michael drifted off together. Tuck. caught one gray amused glance from Bun- ny, and turned resolutely wack to old. Mrs, Devoe. She picked, a sub- ject out of the air at randoin, as one reaches for a mosquito on a hot summer night. “Have you seen our. lovely sun- ial?” she ‘I suppose. you must have your niece lived 2 | here, heavy lids futtened* for. the erest instant, and the eves tumned toward Tuck. “My nicce?” Devoe broke in. “It was the syn- dial she spoke of, mother.” he said with a swift glance that Tuck t. The sundial. Yes, Yes, I have seen it.” “Tnever owned a sundial before. They’re so romantic, aren't they?” Mrs, Devoe did not.answer, and: Tuck was casting about wildly for another subject when she saw with relief.Miss Lissey, snjant,in.a flowe. ered: chiffon, coming: hastily. down, the outer path. Tuck almost liked tainly, she told herself, would be no more of these awk- ward pauses in the conversation. McBain had told Michael about the Devoe-Lisséy contretemps, and; groaned inwardly. That. would probably stop even Alix Lissey’s, agile tongue. But other than, a slight raising of her chin Miss Lis- sey showed.in no way her disgrun-. tlement at Devoe, and Devoe was. very polite, if a trifle distant, with Miss Lissey, — so affairs moved | rather more smoothly than might | have been expected. to go smoothly; not with the ease and lack of restraint that had char- acterized Mrs. Deane’s partys. It may have been. the fact that the Forresters and Bunny ... and Dr. McBain too, when he finally ar- rived, . . . were putting every strong. microscope, that put the ably, and he steps into a conve- tension into the atmosphere. Not nient doorway. The footsteps turn out to be the butcher boy’s, who thereupon drives off.” “Who was around that door be- tween half past five and six?” Michael looked down at his foot. “Well,” he said slowly, “Katie didn’t’ see everyone perhaps. But she saw Duncan Murchison, com- ing across the campus. He probably entered the back door, and went up to his room. That was just as the boy’s cart stood in the areaway. She didn’t watch him, no. She just saw him coming while she held the door open for the boy. And then, a few minutes after the boy had driven off, she saw Mr. Deane crossing the campus toward the Horseshoe, on nis way home, But. that doesn’t mean a thing. Every- body who lives out here has to pass . along the back of that residence to get home. Deane passes there al- most exactly at the same time every day.” Forrester filled his pipe. “Does the butcher boy call at the same time every day?” “Approximately.” Forrester lit the pipe carefully and smoked for a moment in si- lence. “You've had the body of the dog analyzed? There might be re- action there to the poison.” “There’s none in the body of Jethro’s cat. As for the dog... .” Michael got_up and sauntered to. the door. “Do you suppose dogs have souls? Freddie must have one. Because he’s walked. I tried to dig him up just an hour or two after we buried him. Freddie had gone.” Sunday dawned bright and clear and warm, a perfect day for a tea. party in the garden. Tuck had the wicker tea table set out of the sun on the east side of the house, facing Miss Lissey’s. Whether the Devoes and Mrs. Murchison would accept Tuck’s in- vitation had been rather. a matter for ation. Itseemed scarcely possible that they would: after , but ‘fuck had a feeling ne, excepting perhaps subjects: With an air of utter inno- cence she introduced one, that might. have. a. et -. of which she, of course, couldn't be expected to know.

I’m very thankful.” Mrs.-Deane, hot and puffing as usual, spoke, “I have.always a.per- fectly terrible time with servants. I always think my boy Gordon just might have something to do we find him so, even ourselves. about it, so I rarely try to keep a maid at all.” There usly. furtive ae in Marie Murchison’s on e glanced at Tuck with a little frown, then looked away. | “Well, Lhave an old country pnd Tt eouee get song, Mout er,” Miss i “She's. working eee en ible, and she hasn't iy of Le ty podass of servani coun . longs to the servant c! knows it, and she stays where she vee th lass, Miss. “Is. @ servant c!
