THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1940 Casual Sisal =———— By VIRGINIA HANSON YESTERDAY: Jeff and San- dra, now married, arrive at the Inn just as Julia and Kay are leaving. Julia accuses Sandra of playing a dirty trick on Jeff be- cause people are saying she married him to protect him, Chapter 22 Ivan’s Play GOT up and straightened my hair and wandered around the room until I found cigarettes. Adam held a light for me in si- lence. He had said all he meant to say for the present. “I'm not sure I know what be- havior you're referring to,” I told him at last. “Let’s put it this way, then. If I did or said anything last night that offended you I hope you'll forgive me.” “You're forgiven,” I said. He grinned. “I'll be discreet and not ask what for. May I sit! down?” “If you like.” He accepted the grudging invi- tation and changed the subject. “What's your idea about this murder?” “I haven’t any. What is there to go on?” “Nothing, that I can see.” “Have you questioned Sandra and Jeff? ™Not yet. They came back to colonel’s quarters a while ago get cher things—they've taken a Suite @F guest rooms down the corridor here. The Pennants tried to get them to stay there, but they wouldn’t. And—well, there was se much taik and fuss that I cleared out.” “How is it going to be if one of them did it?” I asked bluntly. “You mean Sandra or Jefr?” “Or the Pennants. The reigning family.” “It’s going to be tough.” He got up and prowled unhappily about the room. “I've been appointed to_ head the board of inquiry on this and those stolen cars. Pd like to ask for a change of station.” “But you wouldn't get it. You’ve only been here a couple of months.” “No.” He sighed. “It wouidn’t be soon enough, anyway. And it couldn’t be one of them. Ivaa woulda’t have been worth it.” “Sandra thought he was.” “Worth murdering?” “That isn’t what I mean, of course. Worth—worth revenging, | at least.” Adam blew a cloud of smoke and looked at me through it. “Are you sure you snow what you do mean?” “I suppose I shouldn’t have brought the subject up in the first place. Adam hasa discon- certing habit, one Iknow well, of making you be explicit. 1 as- sembled my thoughts hurriedly, trying to sort the things i could tell from the ones I had obligated myself to be silent about. “It's an impression I got this morning,” I said finally. “Thi hurried-up marriage. for onc thing. I don’t care what Colonel Pennant Says, she was the one who pro- moted it. I heard her. She practi- cally hypnotized Jeff into going for the license. And I had a strong feeling that she was doing it get even with—with someone. Maybe all of them.” “Then you don’t think it was meant to protect Jeff?” _, “Maybe it was meant to look if she were protecting Jeff.” ~ “For what purpose?” “Your guess is as good as mine. ‘The Pennants are pretty fond of him, aren't they? She could hit at any or all of them through him” Agent of Vengeance’ E was silent for a while, think- ing that over. He stretched his long legs out and crossed them, but the rest of his body did not slouch Adam gives me the impression tha his mind and his body are alway: under perfect control, ready to act with speed and precision at an in- stant’s notice. _ “That strikes me as a woman’s line of reasoning,” he said finally in a rather pedantic manner. “Which doesn't necessarily mean it’s faulty. Set a woman to catch a woman. Perhaps, But Id like something a little more substan- tial to go on. A little more logical. Why, for instance, is she a seli- appointed agent of vengeance? “I think she was in love with him.” “Then why marry Jeff? In the first slace. I mean. Before the mat- as ter of revenge comes into the vic. | ture? Money?” “No. Jeff hasn't anything.” I re- peated what Julia had told me of | Colonel Tzek’s will. “I don’t kno v why. Spite, possibly. But that’s even thinner reasoning. A woman might marry for spite if she were not in love with anyone else at the time. Hardly otherwise.” “Perhaps Ivan had other ideas and she was trying to bring him around, make him jealous. You paver said he was in love with I was silent. This was skirting too close to the scene on the barge last night. I wanted to tell Adam about that; I. was wsed to confiding in him. But I didn’t dare. I had to remember his of- ered_confidential. sind, ‘hs win lead him ree i oping to im away from dangerous ground. “What do you know about him?” “Not much, yet. I haven’t had a chance to question Sandra. All she told the Pennants was that |she met him in dramatic school. We've been through his luggage, |of course. It didn’t take long— one suitcase, and it was not full. Maybe he left a trunk in Chicago. |T'd.hate to think what we saw was all he had in the world. Two clean shirts and the one he ar- rived in. A pair of pajamas. Shaving kit. A change of socks and underwear. His only suit was hanging im the closet. Colonel {Pennant loaned him the bathing trunks he was wearing when he was killed.” “Was there anything pockets of the suit?” “Some small change and less than five dollars in bills. No watch. An address book full of names—some of them sounded fa- miliar to me, but I brought it along for you to look at. Brought something else, too, that we found in the suitcase. It may in- terest you. Anyway, it’s more in your line than mine.” He picked up the folder from the table where he had placed it, opened it and took out a small paper-bound address book which |he handed to me without com- } ment. I opened it and began to read the scrawled names and ad- dresses. I could feel Adam watch- ing me. “Here’s one that I anow,” I said presently. “It’s a firm of literary agents in New York. Here’s an- other—two more. And who's this man Fremont? The name’s fa- miliar. Isn’t he a producer? The next one is, anyway. Everyone knows him. And Jane Urshell, the |actress—how do you suppose he | got her address?” ‘Reunion In Moscow’ lI TURNED the pages, noted that the list was long, that it |changed abruptly from New }York to Hollywood. Studios, jmames of famots and not so fa- |mous directors, firms that were | probably theatrical agencies. “Looks as if Ivan had been can- vassing the field pretty thorough- ly. Looking for work, I suppose.” “Possibly. But that isn’t all. | There’s this thing here.” | He took it out of the folder and looked at it rather helplessly, | then gave it to me. A manuscript, | dog-eared and grimy. bound be- {tween heavy cardboard covers which had been ornamented in |heavy, scrolled letterin,. |__ “Reunion in Moscow,” I read. | “Cribbed title. By Ivan. That | Wasn’t so dumb. Better than an |unpronounceable last name. But a little precious. Like the letter- ing. Like Ivan himself.” I opened |the stiff cover, glanced at the worn, typed pages. “A play, by all that’s wonderful! He certainly. be- ieved in starting at the top. | Have you read it?” | “More or less,” Adam admitted, |looking down his nose. “It’s— jwell, I'm _ no judge of these j things, and I don’t want to in- fluence you. I want your un- biased opinion.” |. “My opinion is worthless. I |don’t know anything about the |theater, and from all I’ve heard | few people do.

The only hope of | selling anything to Hollywood is | by getting it published first—and well published. Even then it’s only a chance. As for unsolicited manuscripts—I thought everyone knew by now that they don’t read | them.” I spoke from experience. My wn, and that of others I knew. The dream of every writer is a ovie sale; so far that bene- cent lightning had failed to Tike in my vicinity. | “No, poor Ivan. He would have been better off to take the money he wasted on postage and play the horses. That way he would have stood some chance of win- | ning.” | I paused at the sound of foot- |steps approaching along the un- carpeted corridor. We lookec! to- ward the door which Adam had | left standing open, in deference to the proprieties. The footsteps stopped, and San- dra appeared in the doorway. “Oh! I beg your pardon,” she said. “I didn’t mean to inter- rupt——” |_ “No interruption,” I said stiffly. |I hate people who are always |apologizing, making something out, of nothing. “Won’t you come in?” |. She started to make excuses, but Adam sprang up and greeted |her as if she were the one per- son in the world he wanted to see—as indeed she probably was.

Both were nearly drown- ed before he could tug his brother to a shallow place.

The drydock left New Orleans on March 19: Ti gers Regain THE KEY WEST CITIZEN American Lead; Indi Bengals Walloped Besox; Reds Toek Two From Bees; Dedgers Lost Pair (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—De- troit’s Tigers came back strong yesterday, after their 13-inning defeat at the hands of Lefty Grove the day before, and pound- ed five Boston Red Sox mounds- men for a total of 18 hits and an 11-7. victory. The win, while Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees were splitting a twin bill, shoved the Bengals back in- to the leadership of the American League with a four-point margin Yanks remain a half-game m back of the Tribe but are now a full contest from first place. Doerr of the Bosox and Green- berg of the Tigers each poled a homer and secured another hit apiece to drive in four runs for their respective teams and cross the home place twice themselves. Detroit staged two-run rallies in the fir: third, seventh and eighth innings and accounted for three markers in the fourth. Bonham bested Bob Feller in a pitching duel during the first game of the Indian-Yanke dou- bleheader. New York’s rookie hurler alléwed the Tribe just five safeties, the same number his teammates callected, but he kept them so well spaced the In- dians couldn’t score more than a Ione tally to three for the oppo- sition. Five markers in the third were enough for the Tribe to grab an abbreviated nightcap, 5-3, in six innings. Kuhel's 23rd circuit clout led the Chicago White Sox to their first triumph over Washington Senators’ Dutch Leonard in the last six games he has twirled against the Chisox. Score: 7-4 St. Louis Browns shutout the Philadelphia Athletics, 3-0. Making good use of his first pitching attempt in his “final opportunity” since being recalled from the Texas League, Jerome ;Herman “Dizzy” Dean let down the Brooklyn Dodgers with a half-dozen safeties as his team- mates romped heme to a 3-2 tri- umph. Chicago Cubs swept the doubleheader with the Rhine- landers as Passeau" subdued them, 8-5, in the opener. Cincinnati Reds took a pair of games from the Boston Bees, 8-0 and 3-1. Combined with the Flatbush double loss, the Red- legs are now practically assured of copping the National League flag. They possess an impressive lead of nine games. Walters and Derringer were the conquering pitchers of the twin bill. St. Louis Cardinals gained a half-game on the third-place Pittsburgh Pirates by downing ‘the New York Giants twice, 7-4 and 3-2, while the Bucs were |taking a single game from the Philadelphia Phillies, 9-3.

Island City Baseball League was slated to get under way last Sunday after- noon at Navy Field but Junius Pluvius had other ideas. Minia- ture ponds had accumulated around home plate and second base due to heavy downpours that morning. Last night the soft- ball championship series between the Plumbers and Conchs was to get off to a flying start but again wet grounds resulted in post- ponement. The fighting spirit of youth cannot be downed. Members of the Conch ten, all young boys, realize there’s a tough fight ahead in the series with the heavier, older and more experienced Pipe- Fitters, but they consistently maintain they'll win or at least give the adults a hard run for honors. They base their claim on the fact that they have met and defeated all of the hefty players in the American League, possessing a record of eight vic tories and just one defeat. That’s the American spirit, boys. Even if you don’t win, the experience gained from the series will be, well worth the time and energy expended. The team, sponsored by the local American Legion Post, has also entered the base-_ ball circuit. Since the second-half of the National Softball League got un- der way July 8, Pepper’s Plumb- ers defeated Sawyer’s Barbers eight times, dropped four con- tests and tied one. Another game Pipe-Fitters won, when the score reverted back to an even inning on August 9, was thrown- out by league officials. Impres- sive vietories over the Hair-Cut- ters included a no-hit no-run affair pitched by Clarence Gates on August 22. Plumbers winning 9-0 on nine hits, and the two-ex- tra-inning contest on August 30 that ended 8-7 in favor of the league champions. Here’s one for softball fans to ponder on: Cheta Baker, peppy and reliable third baseman of the Plumbers, will play with the Naval Station ten when the next league gets under way. Why? Our information comes from Manager Barfield of the NavSta team. Tit for tat: Jackie Carbonell, former ardent member of the Trojans, will play with the Key West Conchs in the baseball league, and Esmond Albury. regu- lar third baseman of the Conchs in the past, will appear in a Tro- jan uniform. Ask Jackie why he’s forsaking his former team- mates—if you want an earful. The warm sulphur springs of’ Bath, Va.. discharge 350,000 gal-; lons of water an hour. Piechota and Berres, Broskie.
