CHAPTERj)
SPIPPIM:
A Plan identified as Joseph.
Shun- IS friencj.. drowned in „the
Hilden river near .A11/1414 N.
Slinn was insured hat the Protec-
tive Life IntUrinae contipany, and'
his beneheia.rtis a man named.B.'
B. Twombley who lives in Troy. -
The oompanyai Albany agent, Car-
lin,' identifies the' body, and the
insurance ttaraey- is paid to
Twombley: ;BataTerry Glidden is
not satisfied. y He believes there
is somethirig wrong •and suspects
that Slinn was aniirdered. Con-•
vinced that' be. Is right, Jerry
tells his boss that :ben prove it,
,
or he won't come hack.
, .
Jerry plunged from his chiefs of-
fice -and almost obllided with Leila
outside it.
Steinhardt was 'retreating rather
hurriedly amass voltat artists ,call the
middle distance, and Leila -Taylor
looked: ashamed. '
Of course, there are a hundred rea-1
sons why a secretary surd wait
close to her employer's door; but his
door was notoriously not soundproof.
"Jerry, I - was just-"
He recalled a reluctance on her
part, a• general cooling process. Be-
sides, Sam had lately strained faith
in the theory of coincidence by tura,'
ing up too.often at the expensive eat -
a -bit -and -dance -a -night restaurants to;
which she, dragged' a 'fiance who
didn't care for them.
"Just getting the• dope, dear?", Jer-
ry demanded. "In the company's in
terests, .of course. Never -mind me,
I'm leaairing."
Her selfish little mouth formed a
circle of unconvincing protest. a
'"Oh, I didn't mean-"
"And- I 'haven't got a bet -ter job;
in fact, I haven't got any job."
The Hudson River local coughed. its
way northward. Farther and farther
behind it, on. 'the loom of the sky, the
lights af •New 'York wove more and
more faintly their red nocturnal rug."
Jerry, in the smoking car, took stock..
He hid a few hundred dollars, a de-
termination, to make good, a sense of
injury -and a hunch.
eeTn e ,ters, thet r iofaeteheetase ipnosaeansysinenns.
Tie
dee' or: He began to wonder if -the
latt ipair might .not often be a lia-
bilitt,' - •
Hi* hunch, particularly, It -had been
justifiable enougth-aas a hanch. But.
then Steinharclas sneers had harden-
ed it anto a less justifiable belief.
And flnallya-the threats of Lightner
had metamorphosed it into a certain-
ty. Was this logical? Or was it just
youthful 'bullheadedness?
Jerry put up at a poor hotel in Lin-
lithgo. E-arly next morning, he in-
quired for "thee coroner. .
"What you want him for?" asked
the hotel clerk. •"Thought you was
a live one'. Well, there ain't none."
"No what?" •
'Coroner, of course.' Not here. He
lives up' at Hudson. All we've got's
a depity, Elwood Norbeck. You'll
best find him at the corner drug store
"The F. L. I, tartans a lainatli, 02
Tools, an' 'you can tell 'em I said eo.
-case is 'closed. I cleated
it. Then Your , P. L. I. ordered' a
couple lit snoopers down from Albany
who had the nerve to check Up.the
whole thing, but was forced to- agree
with ine an' apologize. An' now, as
if that wasn't enough, your gang
sende you here. Are they busted?
Can't they pay up?"
"The claim's been satisfied."
"Then why isn't the Company. No,
sir. • Columbia comity ' won't reopen
this case for anybody."
Jerry explained, that he had wanted
merely to leek over the records.. A
reason, however, it was hard to sup-
ply.
He suspected that records didn't ea -
1st -was told that they' sad been
promptly, and properly, forwarded to
the county seat -guess that they were
the barest report, containing nothing
with which he wasn't already ac-
quainted.
No use, then, to add insult to in-
jury by inviting the name and ad-
dress of the official physician; these
were easily acquired elsewhere, and
that red -whiskered personage was
sought at his; 'office without Mr. Nor -
beck forewarning hi -in to uphold Co-
lumbia county's honor,
Well, warning would have been su-
perfluous. The advent of that medi-
cal colleague from the State capital
had hurt Dr. Gibbony's professional
pride:
"And all his autopsy showed was
exactly what mine did -death by
drowning."
"Sure. I only wanted to know if
there were any signs of a streggle."
"Not a tear -not a rip. Besides,
his letter turned out to corroborate
"And- that's at Hudson with 'the re-
port?"
"Certainly not. Not being found till
afterwards, it was brought here by
your folks and then handed back to
the executor."
'Who was he?"
"Slinn's store clerk, under a will
just executed. He'd been with 'Slam
since the grocery opened -been good
to him, too, I figure, and there weren't
any kin, and his pay was in arrears."
Little here. Nothing at the county
seat. And yet Glidden's hunch per-
sisted. It had to, and he had to prove
it' correct. Of course, he'd stopped
off en his way toward Albany only
so as not 'Le -overlook any bet.
Yet there must be something. If
a crime had been .conamitted, every
criminological system was disproved
unless there had been some slip made
by the criminal at this end of the
case.
the seclusion of the Hud.son taxi
which bore him to the station, Jerry
beat his brains black and blue. His
lips tight. he pressed his frowning
forehead between his fists and: stared
sightlessly out of the cab winddw.
What was it the Linlithgo doctor
had said? "In the clothes not a tear
-not a rip." terry's instinct -declar-
ed there•was a flaw somewhere, but
his reason refused to find any.
Puzzling when he boarded the train
he was still puzzling whan be reaCh-
d Albany.
"Just getting the dope, dear?" Jerry dental:Ideal.
WEST, any time after nine."
Wir,• Norbeck turned out -to be one
of several gentlemen who all looked
alike and sat, daylong, with their
backs, to the soda counter. Elwood,
however, answered to his name,
creaked the rusted hinges of waist
and knees and condescended to come
to the sidewalk. .
"What can I do for you?" . He was
small, thin, narrovt-ehested, but quite
aware of his official dignity.
That famous -booklet, 'Room at the
Top," declares:
"Respect for superiors never kept
an inferior down."
After all, there might be something
in it.
Jerry boNkred. "I Want to Consult
you In your public capacity.",

laor that Matter, he found only one
new fact there There his- ' activities
assumed four phases:
1. -Carlin haa-(left for a vaca-
tion, at Casco Bay. No great loss,
Jerry reflected, since the local ag-
ent's mind would be colored by
Sam Steinbardt's corresPondenco
with him.
2. -The tailor had no fresh light
to cast on the subject. None had
been -seriously expected of him.
3. -Ditto the company's Albany
physician. -Yes, he had gone to
Linlithgo and made a separate ,
autopsy. No, there wasn't `the
slightest sign of a struggle. Jerry
could disenver no detail in which
there had been either negligence
or airot'.

He led Jerry t/I/et through
the door surmounted' by a, liege can-
vas sign:
"OUT OF pusmtoss!

Deeidedly, here 'Was' .a gentleman
With an eye to the main,Chance. Jerry
realized that he weeld Ave nothing
by getting down .at fltie to brass
tacks.
"Why d' you want to•lanceiv?" asked
Mr, Weaver. "He paid' hie premiums

The heir and executor eniked. "If
I can cleat two ;hundred and fifty by

ery bit of the stook on hand."
"Oh, you'll be all 'right We just

of Sinn's other writing."
"Carlin done that."

"He gave me a telnapbt for the
Chance."
"Here's ariother." •
Influenced or not, Carlin had rea-
son to endorse that letter as authen-
tic. A pftiable confession of despair.
Jerry did not profess to be an ex-
pert in these matters, but he' would
reluctantly have had to swear it was
written ;by the same hand that aept
the doleful bociks; and this wasn't at
all, he took ostentatious care to
prove, Howard Weaver's..
Jerry walked out Only after he
had reached he sidewalk did he fling
an apparently thoughtless question or
two over bis shoulder:
"It's a hot evening. , Any swimming
in the river here?"
"Some."
'Vome along?"
"Ain't get the time."
"Didn't 'Slinn use to do it?"
"Him.? Never. He was afraid as
death Of the river, and I guess that's
how he naturally thought of it to
&kill himself in. 110 couldn't swim 4
stroke."
Some hours later, Jetty took a
third train. He possessed the valu-
able ability to mock his failures with-
out shaking hip purpose.
Nearly everything substantiated the
original reports, and the only newly
found fact was Overbalanced by
them: Slinn, couldn't swim a n
drowning is an ideal means for a non -
swimmer's murder -but ft is equally
desirable in case be wants to commit
suicide. Then there was that letter
and the lack of any token of viol-
ence, The dead man had indeed few
friends in Albany; he seemed to have
been something of a recluse.,
But Jerry wouldn't give up. The'
hunch held. Besides if he could prove
Lightner and Steinhardt wrong, they
would have to keep. -hi S job for him;
whereas, if be couldn't -
Troy and Twombley-B. B. Tworia
bley? Not yet. Glidden's thoughts
returned to the office recoada. "Place
of birth, Doncaster, Pa." He went,
there. Lightner's motto: ''Do
Now."
It took_the reSt of the night, which
was followed by a disappointing day.
Birth registration postdated Joseph
Slinn's appearance on this planet, -and
were baptismal books to be consult-
ed -well, this city boasted thirty-sev-
en churches.
'"Slinn's a funny name yet," said
the Pennsylvania Dutch prethonet-
ary's clerk, "and' I sink I heard it
so e're, but you can see fer yourself
it int in the city direct'rY."
'Howabout the country around
here?"
"The only sing's the 'phone book."
And there, at last, was a little luck.
It was one of those telephone books
in which the far rural sabscriberess are
listed not under the different - ex-
chatges that serve them,but under
their own -names. Jerry was about
to surrender the volume when his eye
lighted on this entry:

Still Plenty art Time
Spring openedaunliettally Win 'In
many .part fi of Canada this year, but
ras generally happens after a warm
spell, the 'weather turned, cold again,
and sortie enthusiasts who rushed
their gardening operations probably
regretted later.
Admittedly, there is a thrill in get-
ting the'garden planted weeks earlier
than usual, and if salt goes well there
is also a thrill in picking the first
flowers or sampling the first vege-
tables weeks ahead of the neighbors.
Rut, as the experts point out, there ie
solid satisfaction 'at least in; having
the garden harvest last weeks' longer
than is possible when everything is
planted on a"single afternoon.
The beginner almost invariably suf-
fers from an overdose of Sprang fever
and plants too soon. There is no
harm in planting a portion of the gar-
den very early, but for maximum re-
sults all plantings, and this especial-
ly applies to vegetables, should pe
spread out. This prolongs the har-
vesting season of really fresh vege-
tables, eases the work of cultivation
and planting, and makes for more ev-
en results. - ,
In most part 4 of the Dominion
there is still pleaty of time to plant
all vegetables, ,and of the tender and
semi -tender sortal. it is not advisable
to consider the inain planting until
now.
