FRIDAY, DECEMBE R 22, 1939 by Frances Shelley Wees YESTERDAY: Michael tells his father that the unknown poison was injected into the meat with a syringe. The dog’s body is stolen. The next Sunday, trying to make conversation at her dif- t garden party, Tuck intro- s the subject of the servant Problem. Chapter 29 Undercurrents ARIE MURCHISON’S Iong, crimson tipped fingers played languidly with the pearls at her throat. “Tve heard that one can get maids at the residences very often,” Tuck said directly to Mrs. Murehison. “They train them, and pay them very small wages, and the girls won’t stay very long. Did you ever get one there?” “No, I never did,” she smiled swiftly with a flash of white teeth, “I get_a French girl whenever I can. They are so capable and quick, and I can speak to them in their language. It is a great ad- . became a little incoherent. Gor- don was to his mother a quite un- intelligible person. Mr. Deane was + very subdued. His eyes behind their thick glasses darted fro! face to face quickly, and he dran| his tea in quick gulps. He said al- most nothing, and seemed not to be interested particularly in any- thing that was said. It was a rélief, after @ll the wondering, to look at Mrs. Me- Bain. Dressed all in white she was; the most beautiful thing, Tuck dé- cided, that she had ever seen. She didn’t Jook like a Greek statue as much as like one of Rossetti’s painted women; her lids over the violet eyes weré like the petals of heavywhite carhellias. Her hus- band knew her beauty; often and ofteft Tuck saw his eyes go to Ker, as she sat with consummate poise and turned Devoe’s compliments off as lightly as if they had been yoade of nothing more solid than ‘og. Tuck could not refrain from mentioning that loveliness to Deane, who was at the Moment beside her. “Ish’t Mts.

If there had been marks of a struggle, anything of the sort . this woman knew all about Charlotte Jean interrupted with the tea tray. At the same moment the McBains arrived, and Duncan Murchison came up the path through the woods and into the garden. His step was light and buoyant, and he smiled cheerfully at Tuck, who in moving back to the tea table had seen him and gone a few steps to meet him. His face fell as he saw the people be- hind her. “Oh, it's a party?” he said in sh di . ght it was just your- . But it was nice of you to have me, anyway,” he said. She 1 he “Sometimes it’s dreadfully hard to be polite, isn’t it? Will you come, sametime, when it’s just ourselves, then? We'd love to have you.” His quiet face lit up. “You just ask me,” he said. His glance went past her, over her shoulder. Tuck turned and walked back to the tea table. Sinister Stress then occurred that incident pon which so much stress i at a later and more sin- . Alix Lissey, upon catch- ing sight of Duncan, had sprung sudden animation, and st run to meet him. She him just as Tuck turned ay, perhaps a dozen feet from the edge of the group. Her first words brought back that dark Jen look to his face. His blue re black, and his mouth d. She took his arm, him off to the corner of , and there she spoke al minutes with force and vehemence. No one could have heard her. Her voice, as was Pointed out later, was kept sus- piciously lowered. Duncan lis- tened; and then be glanced quick- ly at the rest, spoke one sentence to her angrily, and left her. The rest of the party had ar- ranged itself in an attitude for tea. Tuck poured almost absently. The men passed the cups and the bread and butter, and later: the little cakes. Afterward, in- re- membering, Tuck knew that Dun- can Murchison had _ certainly helped with the rest. She would have been so happy to say defi- nitely that he had not, that only Jared Devoe had. Jared Devoe was thoroughly objectionable in his oily, unctuous way. But he had not been the only one. All of. them, — Michael, Duncan, Mr. Deane, and Dr. McBain had helped. Her mind was busy with con- jectures as to the inner meanings of the facial expressions she saw, of the words and tones she heard. Mrs. Devoe brooded all afternoon. Marie Murchison, for some not too obscure reason had fallen si- lent, and Devoe hadn’t wanted her to fall sil He sat down beside her and t d brightly, trying to draw her into the conversation. He spoke to her directly. He made little complimentary speeches that were meant for her. Alix Lissey sat in her basket chair, a little withdrawn from the others. She, too, since her talk with Duncan, looked haggard and weary. Her eyes were dull and from time to time she rubbed her forehead nervously. Mrs. Deane was her usual calm, self-contained self, save when Gordon’s name came into the con- versation. Then she sat up, and Today’s Horoscope degree promises ability for hard work and considerable n life. The mind is cap- able and full of enterprise, sharp, succe Devoes, who were the last to leave, had gone, tke telephone rang. Michael lifted it from the | desk and answered. “Hello,” He shook the phone. “Hello! Oh... yés, it’s Michael Forrester. He listened, said, “Yes, we will. Right away,” and set it down. “It’s Alix Lissey.” He turned to the two girls. “She wants us to come over. Right away. Her voice sounded queer.” “I wonder if she’s sick?” Tuck said. “She looked so tired when she went home. I asked her if her head ached, and she said no,” “She didn’t say she was sick,” he replied as they went out the | gate. “She just said she wanted to see us immediately. I rather think she wants to talk.” “Doesn’t she always?” Bunny asked dryly. Miss Lissey’s door was open, and her voice called “Come in,” from an inner roorn. Michael closed the door carefully behind him, just as she appeared in the archway to the right, She still wore the hat she had worn all aftérnoon, ‘afi@ she’ still Clasped in her hand the chiffor, handker- | chief she had carried. It was twisted into a string. There was a high spot of color on each cheek, and her manner was Strange, éx- cited. “Come in,” she said, and turned to precede them into her living room. “Sit. down.” She would not sit down herself, but paced the floor restlessly. “I've come to the conclusion it’s time to talk,” she said after a moment. | “Don’t know what's come over me. That creepy feeling at the tea —you felt it?” She looked directly at Tuck. “T don’t know what you mean, Miss Lissey.” “Don’t beat around the bush. You know they were all hating each other—watching each other , like cats and mice. Cats and mice! That’s it.” “What do you mean, éxattly?” Michael asked. “T'll tell you what I mean. You know ., .” she stopped in front of | him, “You know Murchison is dead?” Michael hesitated. “This is no time for hesitation. I want to get this thing straight. It’s driving me crazy!” . “I think he is,” Michael said quietly. “Think he -is! I We know he was mut know . : .” she sank wearily into the chair behind her, “I know who murdered him,” She finished + tensely. “What!” She paid no attentiofi to his ex- clamation. The handkerchief in her hand was still. Hef eyes were fixed on some distant and terrible remembrance. “Listen,” she said more quietly; “I want to tell you al! about it, Then aoe can do ag you please. I can’t do anything: I can’t tell the police. These people—they have been my friends. It’s a terrible position, It’s—it's unnerving.” Bunty suddenly got up, walked across the floor, and put her hand on the older woman's shoulder. “We can understand that,” she said softly. “It has been hard for you.” The woman leaned back, and lodked up into Bunny's face. “ saw him look at you this after- noon,” she said. “You won't be so kindly to me when I’ve told you what I’ve got to tell.” Bunny’s hand dropped. There was & look of hotror of hef face. “Sit down,” Miss Lissey bein again, “Tll begin at the ning.” She drew a deep breath. “It was on the night school closed,” she said.
