“Lanes used to have boats," Aunt
Nella volunteered. “Our boat — the
Eleanor — leaks.”
“Roddy—what’s become of that
speedboat of his?” I asked. The
thought that he'd never use it again
made me quiver. Hadn’t seen it for
years, she said. My aunt assured us
no boats at the Head had been used
this summer.
“Then the person can’t get away
Old, you say? And deaf?”
“Wylie—Mr. Gerry’s the only one
who knows him.” Poor Aunt Nella,
how the stubby path must be hurt
ing her feet,! I offered to run ahead
after her shoes, but she’d make it,
she said.
Wylie began to sing at the top of
his maudlin lungs,—

“Shut up!”
He shut. “You shound awful to
me, m’ dear. Awful fun— fun—”
They had to carry him upstairs—
De Witt and Hugh Norcross, with
Albion Potter helping from the rear,
and me running ahead to open the
door.
Back in the living room we all
trooped, waiting for the men to come
downstairs. Auntie had sent me
down, begging me to do something
to quiet her boarders, who'd all be
leaving, she just knew, the first
thing in the morning,
could I do!
“Is everybody at the

Witt, Hugh Norcross, Albion ]
Mr. Quincy and Lily Kendall,
but Miss Bessie Norcross, asleep up
stairs, and my aunt and uncle.”
Mr. Quade and Thaddeus Quincy
held a consultation. Then Mr. Quincy
thumped for silence and leaned back
in his chair with an eager, pleased
look on his withered face. I
vow he was enjoying himself.
The Committee
“Mr. Quincy and I think a
mittee should be chosen to go down
to the old church where Miss Jason
made her—her terrifying discovery
a while ago to verify it. Not that
we doubt you, Miss Jason,” Victor
Quade expatiated. “But, after all,
you did enter that basement alone
and saw what you think you saw by
two flaring matches. You might, have
been mistaken. You did not touch
that—”
‘‘No—no! But—it stuck out—all
—all stiff.”
He looked at me queerly. “If that
is right, that -would mean rigor mor
tis—long enough for it and not too
long afterwards.”
“You appear to know plenty about
such things,” Hugh said.
“It is planning to write mystery
stories—”
Mr. Quincy broke in. “Wasn’t you
running through the Lane estate
right after dark, was it, Norcross?
Judy and I called to you?”
I held my breath. Hugh changed
color. He looked as if he’d been
caught stealing lump sugar.
“May have been. What of it? I
went to my sister’s room and—well,
she was gone. Thought she might
have strolled over toward the sea
and ran after her, but just then her
light came on and I ran home again.
Any harm in that?” He turned to me
“If I’d heard you speak I’d certain
ly have answered.”
Victor Quade whispered in my ear.
“Could you make a note of that?”
Aloud, he said, “Such questions are
for the police, provided Miss Jason’s
right. The first thing isn’t mutual
recrimination, as I see it, but a trip
to the church. Not too many of us.
Don’t want to obliterate any pos
sible footprints. But first we’ve got
to know it is murder. Good Lord,
this Lane may have had a stroke—”
“Inside my sea chest?” T asked
coldly. “Had a stroke and crawled
in? Or crawled in and had a stroke?
Mr. Quincy’s cane thumped. “I
appoint Mr. Quade, Mr. Potter and
the Rev. De Witt. Keep close to

will wait here. Judy got a flashlight.

“This kind of business makes me
sick to my stomach,” Potter said,
pop-eyed. “Could we have something
hot when we get back — coffee or
cocoa?”
“Sure. I’ll make it for you.” Lily
Kendall stood in the kitchen door.
“Mr. Quincy says he wants his malt

He could just -wait. I went back
with the flashlight and gave it to
Victor Quade. Then Lily and I re
turned to the kitchen and put the
kettle on. I let her slice a loaf of
bread and then wished I hadn’t, she |
cut such chunks of slices.
We made coffee and malted milk
for Mr. Quincy, and I sent up a cup
to Aunt Nella by Hugh.
“She was still giving him merry
aitch, but she thanked me,” he grin
ned.
“And your sister?”
“Pounding her ear. Headache

We -went back to the living room
to wait for the committee and talked
in lowered tones, the way people do
when there’s a dead body in
house. A fine how-do for
guests, who’d come for a rest!

leave in the morning. Aunt

A short laugh reached us
outside. Voices cheery. The
were coming back at last. Before
they reached the steps we could hear
Mr. De Witt’s admonishing boom,—
“—mustn't be too hard on her—gid

Thaddeus Quincy’s eyes sought
mine, questioningly. Then his mouth
quirked and he muttered the single
word ass. I didn’t know whether
he meant me or the preacher.
Now the committee came into the
room. Jonas De Witt beamed at us
as he spread his hands. “False alarm
dear friends. The young lady’s imag
ination got the better of her.”
Albion Potter nodded in agree
ment. “There certainly wasn’t a—
hand sticking out of the sea chest.
Or—or anything in it. Mr. Quade
looked. It was quite empty.”
“That’s right. Miss Jason, in that

I sat staring from one to the other

Lily yawned. “Shucks!” she said.
"Tomorrow the Rockville street de
partment will fix the bridge. There
won’t be any publicity to amount to
beans. No murder no pictures on
the front page. Me, I’m going to
bed,”
“Good idea. Ought to sleep well
after our little excitement and cof
fee.” Thaddeus Quincy handed me
his empty malted milk glass and be
gan to wheel himself across the
his room. “Good night, all. Sweet
dreams.”
One by one the party followed
suit, going to their respective rooms,
The inn wasn’t large, having been or
iginally, as I’ve said, a private home.
Upstairs we had only five bedrooms,
with tw’O and a cubicle on the third
floor. This is how we bedded our
guests.
Mr. Quincy had the front room
opposite the parlor on the first floor,
as a special concession, as before
related. Above him was the Rev.
Jonas De Witt. Across, in the front
bedroom, slept Lily Kendall, Bessie
Norcross’s room came directly be
hind her, and then Hugh’s a tiny
one, even smaller than Albion Pot

Aunt Nella and Uncle Wylie oc
cupied the room on the
directly above the Rev.
Witt’s. My nook, next
two windows, sawed-off
but I could see the ocean from one
and the long, curving Neck toward
town from the other. Across the
tiny hall was a storeroom full of
oddments to delight antique collect
ors, the Salvation Army and the junk
man. It seemed as if Auntie never
threwr away a thing. She hadn’t used
a butter churn for years, but there
was one in the attic beside an old
bustle, neatly wrapped in newspa
pers and marked—“Aunt Code’s
bustle.” I’d never even heard of
Aunt Code.
Hugh Norcross had put up a tent
on the lawn, where he sometimes
slept on the warm nights. With the
inn on one side and the castle on
the other and woods at the rear, it
faced virtually the whole Head—a
gorgeous spot which he himself had
selected. I

But he went along upstairs just the
same, the poor, henpecked brother.
Quade Believes Me
Victor Quade waited till they were
all out of hearing. “With your per
mission I’ll sleep here on the daven
port tonight. I know’ you haven’t
an extra room, but a blanket, per
haps?”
“He couldn’t be afraid! “Of course
I said. “You don’t mean you’re be
ginning to believe I didn’t imagine
things.”
“Go to bed and forget it. No use
worrying over—”
“Bu- I’m not worrying. Are you?
And—and do you always carry stacks
of $20 bills?”
He looked at me puzzled, then his
forehe d unpuckered. “Oh, you want
me to pay in advance. Is that it?”
“Ce’ ’ainly not. I’ll get a blanket.”
If he’d sent me the auction money
he was a good actor. I came back
with the blanket, and he followed
me around while I locked up. There
were o ily the back and front door.
Perhaps I should have described
the inn before. A narrow hallway
ran down the centre of the loyrer
floor, with the parlor (so ugly!) din
ing room and kitchen off the left,
as you enter; Mr. Quincy’s room, my
office and a string of downstairs
lavatories off the right. At the end
of the kitchen was a built-on wood
shed. The old barn across the drive
served as a garage, workshop and
storage for the Eleanor. That’s all
there was to us. The castle, with its
stables, boathouse and garage, all in
one, and the eyesore of the Smedley
fish shed, were the remainder of the
Head. Except, of course, Mr. Quade’s
trailer, A narrow beach skirted the
bluff from the church to our woods
below the barn, though you couldn’t

Perth and Huron apple crops are
showing good prospects according to
the weekly crop report issued by the
marketing service of the Dominion
Department of Agriculture. In Huron
county Duchess apples are already
being shipped to northern Ontario
and to local markets. The move
ments are described as heavy. Weal-
they and Blenheim apples show fine
prospects and the winter varieties
continue to develop well.
Perth’s apples are sizing well and
there is possibility of good color ou
late fall varieties. Transparents are
virtually finished and Duchess apples
are on the market in increasing sup
plies. The demand for apples is
moderate. The report says many
Duchess apples will not be picked
due to low prices and poor demand.
Movement of turnips is expected
to start shortly in Huron County
and the potato market situation is
unchanged with a steady demand.
