Chapter 31 Up Against Brains “TF YOU think you know who this person is,” Michael's father told him, “can you take any measures to guard against trouble?” “I can do something, maybe. It'll have to be handled at the inguest. I can’t do much until then. When will that be?” “Thursday.” hree days. Well...” “Ll send out a couple of goad | pen the Commissioner sugges- ted. _ “Only at night. We can’t have it in the daytime. I've got to go on as} Thave been.” The District Attorney fingered | his lower lip. Michael spoke again. “Were| there any fingerprints on those pebbles?” “The Professor’s. We got his} from the apparatus in his private laboratory. Yours and his.” “Did the code man make any- thing out of the letters?” “He doesn’t think there’s any code. He says they look like the real ihing.” “I think so, too,” Michael mur- | mured. think so, too. Are you oor with them, and the peb- les?” helley Wees bent busily over the front stakes of his sleeping tent. Charlotte Jean came out of her kitchen fearlessly, and started to put the clothes on the line. “Come on, then,” he said, with | a little more assurance in his man- ner. They went out thé garden gate, | and up the path through the woods. It was cool and damp-smelling under the trees; the ferns in the shade were a soft thick green against the fallen carpet of pine needles. They had gone only a few feet, however, when Michael stopped suddenly and peered at the tall figure at the fork of the path. “Who is that?” he said under his breath. “Why, it’s only Duncan Murchi- son,” Tuck said in surpri: 7 do you expect to see, Someone in a red suit and horns, and a tail? You're as fidgety as a ++ aCat.” Michael said nothing. Duncan approached them rapidly, a_cer- tain determination evincing itself in his walk, in the swing‘ of his shoulders. He, too, was pale and tense; his blue eves had shadows beneath them. He spoke directly to Michael without looking at the others. “I was coming over to see you. There’s a —something I want to— that is, I have a favor to ask.” Michael looked at him leyelly. “Very well,” he said with a notice- able lack of warmth in his tone. Tuck glanced at him in surprise. He swung round on his heel, and led the way back to the house, the others following in silence, Michael pushed open the door of the sun porch and held it for them to pass. Then he turned to Duncan. “Yes?” “Yes. And — we've had word| from Chicago.” “The letter! And they say?” “Faked,” said the Commissioner laconically. “We're up against brains, Michael. Do you know what} he did?” “The murderer, you mean?” “Yes. He sent that letter to Mrs. Murchison, to Chicago. It was en- | closed in a larger envelope ad- dressed to Mrs. Murchison, Gener- al Delivery, Chicago. In the carner was typed, ‘If not called for in five days please open envelope and for- ward enclosure.’ The inner envel- ope was addressed here. And that’s | what happened.” | “How did you trace it?” The Commissioner looked a a Attorney. “Your father We got the pol icazo to see whether it could © been done that way. It nar- d down the chances, you sce. meone handled that letter, if it wa: done that way. They made in- quiries until they found out the clerk that tore open the outer en- velope and threw it away. The thing was so clever it made a mark — the clerk noticed the letter be- e he wondered at the time why the second address was not written | ne outer envelope.” Michael was watching him. He no comment. He straightened oulders, T a moment, he said, “Don’t se men come up until after ark, will you? And if there’s any- ‘one in visiting we'll leave the ve- randa lights on. If those lights are out th know that nobody has it to be in the yard.” He ec at his ear. “I don’t think strike that kind of trouble,” id. “This guy knows too much ons. You know what gets s Michael?” in the devil didn’t he use! this queer poison to kill Miss Lis- sey with, instead of a common or- dinary traceable one? Why didn’t he? And another thing—why did Murchison give that paper to Smith? It didn’t mean anything. He didn’t need to give it. If you can tell me the answer to those two questions we'll be getting some- where.” No one told him. He grinned at his father. “Never mind, old sock,” he said, “I’m going through with blood in my eye. I’m} not dead yet, and I’m not going to| be.” He went out and banged the| , whistling cheerfully. | guess,” said the Commission- uess we better just sit here} and whistle, John.” ‘Fidgety As A Cat’ TT WAS late on the afternoon of. the same day. Michael, Tuck and} Bunny had been sitting together on the sun porch, looking out over the back garden. They were very quiet and sober; Bunny was pale, and Tuck had dark rings under her eyes. Without a word of explanation, Michael got up and opened the door into the garden. Tuck noted his tense face, the grim set of his} jaw. “Where are you going?” she| asked sharply. “Nowhere, honey. Just for a walk. I think P’'ll stroll down to the river. Will there be tea when I get back?” - She got up off the couch. “I shouldn’t be surprised,” she re- plied. “But I’m not staying here to See about it. Charlotte Jean can do it. I'm coming with you.” “I won't be gone long.” “Well, so much the better. I dan’t feel like walking very far.” “Tuck, I wish you would stay here.” = “I won’t. I'm going.” Bunny stood up and ened her dress. “So am I. Michael looked out at the woods, calm and peaceful in the afternoon sun.

He was frowning. He drew a deep breath. “Oh, do sit down,” said Tuck. “We're all fagged out. I'll ask Char- lotte Jean to make us some tea.” Dunean looked down at Bunny. She put her hand on the arm of the big wicker chair beside her. He smiled a little and sat down. Mi- chael remained standing beside the screens of the outer wall, He whis- tled to himself, a little tuneless whistle.

Duncan had been waiting for her, it appeared. He coughed a little. “T haven't been quite on the level with you,” he said at once to Mi- chael. “I’m sorry now that I haven’t. I don’t think it was quite all my fault,” he said with a little rueful smile. Michael waited. “T’m not going to tell you every- thing,” Duncan went on more slow- ly, his eyes troubled. “Some of it isn’t , . . isn’t my affair. That is— it isn’t my secret.” Michael took off his ring, and scratched the screen with it. He was very irritating, Tuck said to herself. He must es upset about something. Duncan tried again. “You know my brother has disappeared,” he said. “You came out here to try and find out where he had gone.” He looked up at Michael. “What makes you think that?” Michael murmured. “It’s obvious, isn’t it? The son of the District Attorney ...a lawyer. I resented it very much at frst, when the Commissioner had told us he was giving up the chase. It seemed a bit underhanded. Still... I see that all’s fair in... in war.” There was a flush on his cheek, “Ts this war?” “It seems to be developing into. one.” His mouth tightened. “I’ve been followed the last day or two,” he went on with a trace of bitter- ness. “Will you tell me why, For- rester? Of what am I suspected?” “Followed?” sharply. “Yes. I can sense it. Onge or twice I’ve almost caught a glimpse jof the pursuer—but not quite.” “T have nothing to do with your being followed,” Michael said flat- ly. Bunny glanced at him queerly. “No. I suppose not,” he said bit- terly. “However .. . well, I must tell my story.” He smoothed: back his crisp wavy hair, and went on. “My brother,” he said, “he wasn’t | happy.

After the series a banquet was held and the four clubs of the league invited, {along with league officials, who presented trophies for the cham- {pion batter, base stealer, and a big trophy to the winning club. Reds will play in Plant Field and Rochester or some other class double A club may use the Cusca den Park for spring ‘training. JUDGE LANDIS enforces base- ball code. “Chains make slaves of players and retard their ad- vancement”, he says. An example is the case of Gerald Priddy and Phil Rixute of the Kansas City club, a Yankee farm. Scouts claim that they are ready for the big show and the Yanks do not need them, so they place prohibi- tive prices on them. As a result they must linger for seven years in the minors, wasting away some of their best years in the bushes. And -here is how the Yanks are protected. They are now in class double A and are! not eligible to the draft until they have spent four years in this company. On the fourth year the Yanks draft them and send them to another league and they there, without risking the players right to free baseball players. This might sound like a logical argument. that the Yanks and other big league clubs dig up ‘playets and -give them a chance if they should be able to use them, but there should be a limit for ithe pldyers to be in the minors jand not seven years.
