-You said the stone thing about Millie and that -woman had good sense. She was observant, a good judge of human nature." "She certainly slipped once in that judgment," I pointed out. bashed her head in must have sold her on the tact that he or friendly." she was nice and "TVO one put anything over Miss Millie." Her tone was sharp. "Ill grant you that she knew too much. At least I should imagine that was what happened," she added hurriedly, when she saw I was ready to start asking questions.

"I lorgot to for the mail," she said in an obvious effort to throw roe off. "There should be some news from the Bine heart. I blamed my vile boys today. Why your brothers temper and cutting remarks on an upset digestive system due to too much murder in the air. Maudie accepted it without argument.

She wax beginning to act like herself again, and was finding the cottage too confining, which suited me since I would prefer being alone with my own thoughts. I cat around that afternoon making some notes for next semester's classes in Lit I. I was teeing myself In the years to come the same uninteresting I was feeling pretty sorry doing tasks. for myself by the time Moudie and McCool came back, and I was glad enough to listen to her instead of thinking how badly I felt. "I dropped around to the Morris house," she said lighting a cigaret and slipping her shoes off.

"Jennie wasn't In, but I had a little chat with Liza Holmes. She certainly was devoted to that poor dead woman. They were a lot itlikt, of course--same generation, tame sizrn, thin faces, dreadful clothes." "She doesn't seem like one you'd enjoy chatting with," I interrupted. "You mustn't Judge people by their she sternly, rubbing McCool's stomach with a silk-covered foot. He- thumped the floor are so careless in writing I'll never mow.

They should realize how I worry when I don't hear from them." "They're probably painting the town red," I said crossly. "Sowing their wild oats now that you're away." But anyway I went to the inn for the mail and a chance to prove to myself that the sight of Denny talking to that hussy, Margie Dixon, was of no importance to me. They were not around and I asked Chris Gordon if Miss Dixon had checked out yet. He said she hadn't, and with that worried look on his fat face, he added that 11 business didn't pick up she'd be the only guest left. "How's your mother feeling?" he said, still sorting the mail.

"She's quieted down," I said. "She went visiting today. She doesn't like to be tied down and two days at home were plenty for her, so she went to the Morrises-- Jcanie's, 1 mean." "She's not home," he said. "Well, she visited with Liza Holmes." "Shouldn't think your ma would find Liza much company," he a couple of chats and apparently Miss Millie was in one of her good moods because mother said she liked her." "Well, takes all kinds of people to make up "a he said and I took the letters and "started out, still hoping for a glimpse of Denny. The lobby and bar were empty.

I supposed he was over at the State Police Post where, I hoped, some progress was being made to end all the suspense. rEANTE MORRIS was at the cottage when I got back and oung Tod Palmer with her. Liza told me you had been over, Mrs. O'Connor, and I was sorry 0 have missed seeing you," she said. "It's nice to have friends a time like this." I suppose people were already beginning to stare at her with curious eyes.

I was glad Tod was around to ease that loneliness, and from the way be looked at her I could see that he wouldn't mind the hours he might spend acting as a Boy Scout "Do you and Liza Holmes stay that big house all alone?" Maudie asked. Jeanie looked slightly surprised. 'Oh, we don't mind. I--I guess I'm used to the house being quiet--" "Quiet, yes. But is it safe?" The girl laughed a little.

"Really it is. I'm not scared'. Of course I've thought and wondered who --who would have killed my aunt, and the only thing I can think is that some poor, demented person must have seen her in the boat alone--" Her voice faltered then. "But as for myself or Liza--why, we've lived in that house all the summers I can remember and I've never been afraid, and I'm not now." "Maudie reads mystery novels," 1 explained. "You mustn't let her upset Maudie sniffed loudly.

"I'm not I laughed. "That opinion, too, but she was my said Liza was a smart woman. But mother liked Miss Millie, too. They had PICTURES SHOW THE POPULAR CONGA The Conga!
