Mrs. Lin Gook stood 'across " from them on the far side of the swimming pool excavation. Evi ' Ndently she had just returned ffrom digging clams (or her black sateen trousers were relied to her knees and a bucket spewed ..its molluscoidan contents beside "her. She emitted another an guished wail. !J Above them a window clat "tered open and a startled gasp drifted across the sluggish air.

And that was how they found Sophie Mannley. She lay face up In the deep end of the swimming pool. The rainwater had collected there in a shallow pool; in it, Sophie's corpse made a small blpck sodden i island. Except for the business-like arrow still quivering above . her heart, her body was quite i,',stIL They placed her on one of the " wrought-iron beiches that dotted "the terrace.

"You'd better go- up ana see u sne s u.r Bonnay. j ro gojng to conduct a personal in quiry right now. Warner, you stay here with the body." VINCE took the outside stair way three steps at -a time. Julia was lying just inside the window; he lifted her gently to the bed and began rubbing her wrists,- in a moment her lids fluttered open. "Vince, that was . . .-was that . . . Aunt Sophie?" "I'm afraid it was." Her hand felt so small in his. so helpless. Two large tears grew an nd slid down her cheeks. "How did it happen? How could it happen we just got home!" He put a pillow behind her head. Can you remember when you returned?' She 'glanced at the traveling clock on the rosewood nightstana beside her bed. "Twenty-five minutes ago it was exactly four o'clock." "Do you feel like talking? Could you tell me about your trip to town?" "We went directly to town. First we went to the morticians where Aunt Sophie made the arrangements for Uncle Sim then we stopped at a bank. Aunt Sophie withdrew some money about two hundred dollars and John Bissett deposited a personal check. At the telegraph office we picked up a message from Mr. Topping, Uncle Sim's lawyer, saying he wouldn't be here for week because he couldn't get filane reservations from Hono ulu." "Anything happen on the way home?" Vince encouraged. "The car began acting up and we coasted directly into the garage. Aunt Sophie said she wanted to see how the rain had affected the new swimming pool. The Olands are building it for us. you know, it's impossible to get skilled labor to come out this far now. John and 1 went . in the front' doer." The door was open and Johan son slipped in, carrying a small glass of brandy which he gave to Julia. "Drink this," he said. "It may help and I've got to ask vou some questions." Vince frowned in irritation. my reputation on him more than once. "Well, if Hugh was at the Olands all day he couldn't have Killed Sophie. jonanson s reply to that was a noncommital snort They had arrived at the Olands clearing. A narrow planked walk led up to a one-story house which C f i O m i i rl h :i rl 1 u In Maul r9 onai yet the precise rows of corn and! cabbages either side of it were well-cultivated and the grazing trio of cows, fat and sleek. The front door was wide but as thee approached it slowly swung shut ana a-winaow curtain, was lifted surrepiuiousiy. "Evidently the Olancs are not the subtle type," Johanson said and knocked. In a moment a blowzy woman in a soiled dress appeared; she stared and pushed back a strand of sun-bleached hair. "What you want?" she drawled. "We've come to see about Hugh Mannley," Johanson informed her. "He isn't here an Tin in the middle of doin my wash. "Mrs. Oland," the investigator saia sternly. We are the police. We know that Hugh was brought lere last night after a murder was committed. By hiding hint you are making yourself liable to arrest" Her porcine eyes widened. 1 Knew it was wrong) I told Arne not to do it!" Johanson's tone was amazing ly patient "What did they pay you?" ' "Twenty dollars. "Who brought him here?" "Bernie, my son, Bernie. Miss Sophie told him Mr. Hugh was sick," she pointed significantly to her head with a damp soapy fin ger, "and that seeing the police and hearing all the excitement would make him worse." ' ' "Well where is he? We'd like to see him." ' Mrs. Olamfs hands twisted her apron nervously. "He ain't here. He disappeared this mornin'-tl forgot to lock his door after givirf him breakfast" . . Dismay ran through Vince like an electric current "When did he leave?" "Musta been around eleven Arne and Bernie are (till lookin' .

' "She's told me about their trip to town." . , t "That's fine, but it doesn't happen to be what I'm interested in right now." His tone was cold ly efficient "Julia, where is your yncle Hugh?" : Julia's lips Set in a white recal citrant line; she didn't answer. The Investigator's mouth looked equally stubborn., "Don't you realize that other people's lives are in jeopardy? Your aunt was. killed .With one of Hugh's arrows a sharpened kitchen skewer was tap ed to the tip." 'He couldn't have done it . Hugh hasn't the mind for mur der!" Johanson's pupils were like highly-polished agate as tne' words' were torn from her "What are you afraid of then? Tell us where hie is." "Aunt Sophie had him taken to the Olands farm last night. She was afraid that if the police heard of hU frailty he would be blamed for Uncle Sim's death and sne knew he was incapable of such r heinous thing." Vince put his hand over hers -again, "Look here, Julia, hadn't you better tell us the truth about Hugh? Just what is wrong with him?" "He isn't insane." she explained reluctantly. "He's he's iust childish." Johanson's eyes were probing hers. "Has he always been that way?" "No, it was the result ot a brain injury when he was about nine teen." "What happened to him?" Julia flushed. "You ve got to belfeve me! Hugh is narmless! He was nurt in an accident a fight over a Portuguese girl he wanted to marry. He lost his foot ing and hit his head against a cement balustrade. He's been to all the best brain surgeons out they say that some of the nerve centers are affected and that ne'll always be this way-he'll never grow up." "And the man who Knocked him against the balustrade?" Johanson persisted. The words came so faintly that Vince saw only the slow unwill ing motion of Julia's lips. "Uncle Simeon." for "him. Gawd, if Miss Sophie gets wind of it!" Johanson didn't tell her that it would make no difference to Sophie now. "If they find Hugh or he re turns here. I want him brought to the house immediately," Johanson pointed out "Is that clear, Mrs. Oland?" "Sure I get you." She snickered with obvious relief and waved towards the woods. "Why don't you take the short cut, it's easier walkin'. THEY lapsed into a silence broken only by the soft -pad of their feet on the moss-carpeted trail. The visibility was poor and Vince almost fell to his knees when his foot caught on a loose object. He cursed in exaspera tion. "Turn your ankle?" Johanson came back to his side. "No, but I found something; look at this." Together they examined the expensive well-tailored jacket Jonanson turned his pocket flash light on the label "Brooks Bros.. Honolulu, TJi". he read aloud and glanced at Vince sharply. "Recognize this. Bonnay?" Vince nodded. "Yes, it's the one Hugh was wearing yester day." The naval officer searched the sides of the trail while Johanson continued his examination of the jacket "There's blood on the right cuff," he announced tri umphantly, "That cinches it for me?' "Why? He could have scratched his hand on these wild black berries." "Or, being unfamiliar with a meat skewer, stuck himself. Well Bonnay, I'm through fooling around i. . . as soon as we get back to the house I'm sending Bates into town for the Sheriffs bloodhounds. They'll get him." Vince had a vision of Hush'a face contorted in childish terror. "Man. you can't do thatt Julia said he was scared to death of dogsr "That's toe bad," Johanson's voice was wearily merciless. "He may be a class A murderer we can't take any more chances with him." (To eeottaMd) D3. L F. HENIUS OPTOMETRIST 3rd Fleer Elks Temple Rooms 307-8 9 ft 10 NEW. BERN, N. C.
