SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1941 HEART'S HAVE! YESTERDAY: Julie Emerson has at last achteved friendship with the wealthy fol gage tone Julie’s young friend Eve ren tice has made o hit with Mrs. Marbury’s volatile niece Gina Goodell, Mrs. Marbury ts about to buy a romantic old house on an island off the North Caroling coast, and Gina has arranged for a brief house party there, and-a plane to take them. Brett Rod- man, expert in old houses, ts going ahead unwillingly to. make ready. Chapter Four Island Of Mystery ‘HE island Brett Rodman was approaching slowly took shape across the wide expanse of blue . Water as he tu! to the man at the wheel of the motor boat and once more tried to get some information from him. “I suppose there were great og ye in this old place when the first owner lived here,” he observed. But his casual man- ner did not throw the boatman off his guard. “Couldn't say,” that individual assured “That’s afore my eo ‘ef ze ur gtandfather’s time, then» rett suggested. The man at the wheel made ‘a sound, but whether it was meant to be nega~ tive or affirmative Brett could net decide. Chatty lot of people around here, he thought to him- self. 1 wonder what it would take to get the right time from this guy! But the island was so close now that the taciturn boatman was all but forgotten, Brett could see two chimneys and part of a roof emerging from a line of dark trees —pines, he guessed. So fascinated was he by the rapidly unfolding panorama that he scarcely noticed when the chugging of the motor ceased, “Well, you can git out here, 1 reckon,” ‘drawled the boatman, and Brett saw that they were]! near « sandy beach. “I rather thought there would be a landing of some sort—a pier, you know .. .” Brett began. “Mebbe so—but I'm ‘rlandio’ here.” The boatman threw a rope over what struck Brett as a particu- larly handy spar petrudice from the sand, and settled back on the seat. There seemed no choice, so Brett leaped ashore. “Don’t you want, to run up to the house with me? The man in the boat shook his head. Brett waited for some com- ment, When none was forthcom- ing, he started rather gingerly to cut across the woodland. “You'd make better time along the shore,” the boatman con- descended to grumble at him. “Keep a-goin’ till you ketch sight of the house. Thar’s a path.” The beach was more gravel than sand, Brett found, and it was not particularly easy walk- ing. But there really was no hurry. He had hired the motor boat by the hour, and making the old rascal wait seemed a nice thought just then. He pushed on sacpe tige he until a curve in the shore line brought the house into view. Instantly Brett's profes- sional impulse got the better of him. He stood still, for a full minute, staring. The house he saw was oddly ar- resting; it had the piquant quality of some faces, in which the fea- tures are not quite harmonious. but the general effect is striking. He walked hurriedly now until he faced the front entrance, then stood absorbed, his eye following the line of pillar, and roof, and the two wings which flanked the central building. He noticed, but gave only a passing thouglit to it. that just beyond this spot was a pier which the boatman could very well have used. “Tt took money, and plenty of it, to ang this shack way back in those days,” he said aloud. “And the architect must have been insane!” The main building was two and a half stories high, and the wings on either side balanced each other, except for the two roofs. These were Both steep, but other- wise had little in common. Each was broken by a series of gables that projected here and there, with a complete lack of anything like uniformity. “English a .” Brett pro- nouneed ik “with lots of pure origioallty thrown in!” found the path which the boatman had mentioned and be- gan to make his way along it. This was no easy matter, for what had once been a broad gravel walk was now no more a wander- ing ghost of a path. There were no trees in front -f the house. Brett noticed that the oor which had almost “ee the place from view on the side of the island where he had landed were confined to half the island the other side of the nouse, tg in. front of it, fom what he was able to see of the land beyond, there were scarcely | D€FS any trees at all. Curious Reception ACOMPLETE silence hung over the scene—almost as tangible as the morning mist which stil} ous to mre but which tt no! as he 3 mee he was leaving behind. he realized for the first time that he was climbing upward quite a bit, and that the house stood at the a whole Sight of terraces, almos like a flight of broad grassy steps. But rains had washed them down IN & and time oe them flat into the hill- side. The front of the house was led outward in semi-circular effect, and there was an upper and a lower porch. Perfectly pro- portioned Corinthian pillars up- held the roof. The central byild- ing was crowned a mie, which, Brett observed with some surprise, seemed entirely in keep- | ing with the rest of the architec ure, By the time he had reached the | Bottom of the highest terrace | Brett had come to two decisions about the house: Mrs. Marbury would go into hysterics of delight at her first sight of it. That was decision number one. The second decision was: this was no place for a house-party, in its genae i state of disrepair. must take hasty look around and then hurry back to the village to hea Mrs. Marbury and the crowd be- started. The boards of the porch were half gone. Brett’ picked his way to the front door and before pulling the brass knob, black as iron with age and ne; lect, turned to survey the scene. Even in the midst of its riotous decay the place was lovely; he could readily visualize the beauty it had held in the days of its glory. A sound behind him made him swing around sharply and a cracked voice suggested: “Better get goin’), Buddy. This here’s private property. The front door pad opened few inches and’ ecg youth of nineteert oe twenty ‘h: thrust his hollow-cheeked fine through the aperture. For the life | of him, Brett could not. have named the color, of his hair or eyes. There was a suggestion of ted about both and a reddishness too about his skin, due, Brett de- cided, to the large patches of freckles which overspread a coun- tenance the older man disliked on sight. Annoyed by his scrutiny, | the > baie stepped out on the porch. “Not deaf, are you, mister?” he inguired trueulently. “How'd you like a punch on the | nose?” asked Brett, in a conver- | sational tone. He took a step to- | ward the youth, who looked even more undersized in comparison with Brett's easy height. “You don’t have to get sore. 1 told you in a nice way, this is private property.” “That was your idea of a nice way, was it? Now suppose you tell me something else. A Mr. and Mrs. Jackson are supposed to be caretakers here. What are you do- ing ee ee premises?” spoke, he took out of his portent the letter of introduc- | tion which Mrs. Marbury had given him. The youth’s shifty gaze | caught the heavily engraved es- | tate name in the corner. His man- | ner became even more e¢oncilia~ tory. “Gee, I thought you was just snoopin’ around,” he cried. “Come on in, The Jacksons are here all right. 1 just been visiting here. I'm their nephew. Ed Boyd’s the name... - Unwelcome ba igre followed him into a large hall, semi-circular in shape, like the great porch they had just left. It was, in fact, the other half of the circle, of which the porch comprised the first half, Brett ob- served. Ed Boyd went in search of the caretakers, Across the center of the bare floor, which had evidently not been swept—much less polished— for years, colored light fell in a geometrical pattern. Brett looked | up, to discover that it came from the dome and was caused by the sun shining through vari-colored panes of glass. The second floor hallway, like jthe one in which obvi stood, was semi-circular t pleting the ha! upper front porch. But second story hal qas Rut wway, so that only :aimarrow gallery, protected by a carved railing, was left. The dome rose a story and a half above the’ second floor, giy- ing an effect of vaulted height that_ was impressive. “You wanted to see me?” A plump, pleasant-looking wo- man was coming heavily across the floor as she spoke. “Mrs. Jackson?” Brett waited for her nod. Then: “I'm Brett Rodman. I have a letter here from the estate in charge of this house. It explains that I've come here in the interests of a client, who wants to buy a house—possibly this one.” He held out the letter. Mra. Jackson put out her hand slowly, as if reluctant to take it. She drew the letter out of the envelo ~ yr at it pepe. © ave to get “It's just Be owe note. I'll read it to you if you like,” he offered. “Well—* Mrs. Jackson gave it back to him, still with that per- oe es like someone sbee you'd best come in she added, and turned aside to a doar whose Saty evoet tt noted with satisfaction. néxt imiute wm ‘stotd In €q enormous room, the letter in his hand wes lofty, the furniture wis] though filthy, and a unique place was set, oddly enough, in a kind of half wall that jutted out into the room, He was so fasci- nated he forgot Mrs. Jackson, and when finally he turned to her he surprised a look of the utmost contempt and malevolence on her face. It unnerved him for the moment.
