FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 194 3 FOLLOWING THROUGH BY AGUILAR Today we continue our review the national pastime in Key est since the last 1880’s. In our Ast column we covered several éeks of the late months of 1938, nding early in December of that ear. We go on from there. On December’ 15, 1938, the Bacardi club won the round- obin play-off series, it was an- hounced. In games that day, the Tro- fans downed the Poultrymen, 9 2, while the Bacardis and oultrymen played to a 4-4 tie. H. Gates poled two safeties ir he first game to lead the hit- ers. Score: R. H.

Conchs and Pirates were the participants. | MRS. MURDOCK TAKES A CASE Chapter 21 Familiar Profile (OYCE followed to the bedroom doorway and when the light was turned on she saw that here too, a search had been made. Then a new thought struck at her and she turned and hurried back across the living room. This was a front apartment with two windows overlooking the street and one on the side. She went to one of those at the front and pressed her face against the glass. Below the wet pavement was sleek and shiny with the reflection of the corner street light, the tops | of the parked cars glistening. The branches of a maple tree, its leaves mostly gone, swayed be- fore her in the wind, making a tracery of light and shadow across her face. When she could find no sign of life in the night she stepped to the side window. Across an eight or ten foot gap another apartment house blocked her view and not until she looked down did she see him. It was the movement at first that caught her eye, like a sliding *| shadow, incomplete but definite. It fled along the’base of the oppo- site wall, turned, was caught briefly in the rays of the street light, and was gone, not towards Dean Thorndike’s parked ear but the other way, to safety. Joyce caught her breath. That fleeting glimpse had shown her a, "oak she sent her eyes up at him, speculating. She smiled again.

He busied himself with Scotch and ice and soda, and handed her a drink. She | sat down on the divan. He took a chair opposite, got up again to | give her a cigarette an back. “What's this about Ward Al- len?” he asked. Her face sobered and she looked j ar him. “I don’t know, exactly. liked Ward, and in Caraguc he wasn’t altogether very successful, That’s what I wanted to talk to you about.

It was inevitable that I should, since good-looking young Americans are scarce and always in demand at club parties and dances,” She settled herself against the pillows and looked in her glass. “He’d come there to work for a bank or some investment com- pany branch, hadn’t he?

She must be mis- taken. She had barely seen him. How could she be sure... ? She turned, aware that Delia was beside her Not knowing how long she had been standing there, but certain the girl had also been looking out, she felt her veins run cold. “Delia!” ‘Did you see him?” The girl seized one arm. “Who was it?” “T don’t know.” Delia looked up at her, face tense and lips parted. “Joyce.” “I don’t,” Joyce said. “I’m not even sure I saw him. Something moved—a shadow or something— it might have been a man. How can I tell?” “I suppose you couldn,” Delia id; then, her voice awed and : “What if the envelope had been here?” “But it wasn’t. That’s why we decided to leave it at my place, isn’t it? So no one could find it? And now we'll keep it right there until you know what’s to be done with it.” Delia released her grip and lowered her glance, and there was something so forlorn about her that Joyce took her in her arms. Charming Hestor HE little butler took Murdock’s hat and coat, and escorted him through the sitting room to the library door. Hestor was sitting on the leather divan, well propped up with pillows, maga- zine in her hand. “Thank you, Edward,” she said. “I think that will be all.” Edward bowed and withdraw with a: “Very well, Madam,” and when Murdock hesitated, Hestor | arose and offered him both hands. As she stood erect a curious warmth stirred in him, rising across his chest and up into his throat, and when he took her hands his fingertips tingled.

I don’t know just what Ward was supposed to do; some sort of lob- byist, I think, The thing was, he had a lot of dash and good looks and clothes; he knew everyone and was always around. His sort could be valuable to almost any sort of organization. In any case he went along like that for quite some time; then there was some mix-up and he was on his own again. .. . Oh, yes”—she hesitated —“TI almost forgot to tell you that Perry Clarke was part of the same crowd.” “Oh,” Murdock said, “so that’s how it started?” ‘ Rect “I don’t know,” Hestor an- swered, “but let me tell you‘the rest of it—I’m nearly finished. ;.. | About that same time, Ward was seeing quite a lot of some weman who said she was an _ Italian Countess—the Countess de Fe- rani. She was a_ professional charmer. Well—she had a small party one night. Ward stayed late and there must have been a lot of drinking because—at least from what I heard—when the Countess woke up the next day she was alone, and missing a pearl neck- lace and a sapphire and diamond bracelet. The police found them in Ward’s apartment—I believe he was still drunk when they came. He was arrested, of course, but somehow managed to get out of the country before he was tried.” “Perry Clarke knew about it, didn’t he?” he asked. “Naturally.” “You think Clarke tried to blackmail Ward?” “I don’t know. That’s why 1 wanted to talk to you. If I told the police that’s what they would think, isn’t it?” “I'm afraid so.” “And yet”’—Hestor eyed him steadily—“why should he?
