Walker, friend of Nagey. 'els-
ter of Irene ti.
Johnny walked over tothe fire-
place. Within a silver •frame was
a photograph of a baedaome-tool
ing man ,with sensitive, sharply de-
fined features. It was Martin
Smith, the murdered man. John-
ny
ohnny 'had oftentimes seen the miliioni
acre's picture in the newspapers,
but he hadn't real1g d the fellow
was so young lookiSSg.
She, too, had been looking up at
the photograph. He was amazed •by
the expression that had come over
her face.
Apparently she had been smiling
up at the photograph. But what
Johnny saw was somewhat awe -
setae. Half of the woman's fea-
tures smelled The other half of
the face was a partially twisted
grimace. " It was sort of a fright-
ful combination that gave Johnny
Saxon a distinct shock -until he
realized' what was wrong.
The left side of Nancy England's
features were affected by partial
paralysis! He understood now, why
she maintained that masklike man-
ner, never smiling, never allowing
her face to show expression.
Caught unawares as she looked at
the photograph, Johnny had seen
the result of what happened when
she did smile.
And she knew he had observed
this.
Nancy turned away quickly, mur-
mured something inaudible and
hurried toward the centre hallway.
She moved with a tense manner
that was visible in the straightness
of her slim shoulders.
The night was quiet and warm.
There was just the slightest hint
of air stirring in the many trees
that surrounded the mansion.
Johnny closed the screen door
quietly and Iet .his eyes grow ac-
customed to the sudden darkness
outside. Moe .Martin's stocky fig-
ure appeared out of the night and
he whispered, "Irene's over there."
He made a motion indicating the
far end of the terrace.
"Asleep?" asked' Johnny quietly.
"I dunno. Yon talk to her and,
she sits with her eyes closed ands
doesn't say anything. R's like she
was in a trance."
"It's a form of shock," said John-
ney. "But we're doing all right
now. This is a lovely place to pally..
What more do you want? Besides
I've already .found out something."
Faint Iight coming from the lib-
rary beyond the doorway showed
Moe Martin's round, . 'bright eyes
quicken with interest.
"You mean-" he questioned
eagerly.
I've found out why Nancy has
never married Nick Walker."
' Interest died m Moe's eyes. "The
trouble with you, Johnny, is that
you never take anything seriously.
After all, Kay says it was only luck
that you didn't get shot out there
on the harbor tonight. And 1 still
think it's funny," whispered Moe
Martin, disturbed, "that Nick Wel-
ker drove around that shore road
just at the time the shooting hap-
pened--�"%
"What kind of a car does he
own "
"A station wagon," Moe Martin
pointed toward the opposite end of
the terrace. "It's parked out there
in the driveway."
"Stay here," Johnny directed.
"I'll be right back."
The Great Dane, Michael, trotted
along at his heels as Johnny dis-
appeared in the night darkness.
The wide, front seat of the sta-
tion wagon was of tan -colored lea-
theroid. There- was a flashlight, a
pipe and a box of matches in the
middle of the seat.
Johnny picked up the light, back-
ed out of the car and opened the
door to the roomy seat compart-
ment. Snapping on the light, he
saw that the station wagon was
apparently used for 'hauling farm
supplies. There was the smell of
oats and; hay. Particles of grail.
were scattered on the flooring.
Two small, squire, yellow -color-
ed boxes caught Johnny's eye.
Each contained -16-gauge : shotgun
shells. One box was half empty.
But there was no gun in the car.
Moe Martin was waiting for him
when he reached' the side terrace.
"I think Irene Smith's awake
again. I just beard ber chair rock-
ing. You going to talk to her?"
"Yes." Johnny motioned toward
the doorway. "How about this Doc-
tor Clark, Karen's, boy friend? Did
you meet him?"
Moe nodded.

Johnny suggested: "Stroll dwell
that way and peep them entertain
ed for awhile. I don't what that
nurse Karen around while I'm talk-
ing to Irene Smith.'t
Irene's chair was creaking slow-
ly as Johnny approached.
"Hello," he said.
The chair stopped its motion.
Lightfrom a nearby window touch-
ed the side of the woman's face. It
was a beautifully serene Lace,
made more exotic now by the con-
trasting deep shadows of night.
"Bart, my darlingl" she murmur-
ed.
Here we go again, thought John-
ny Saxon. He drew up a chair, teat
down.
The woman's slim fingers reach-
ed out and lightly caressed his
face. "It's you. It's really you,
Bar t?'•
"Yes ... Marie." He remember-
ed the name just in time.
"When were you here last? It
seems so long ago."
"This afternoon, don't you re-

o-member?"
She looked at him, her eyes
probing in the half-light. "This
afternoon? No, it was many days
ago. It was •the same afternoon
we wer;t down• to the village. Don't
tell me you've forgotten."
She leaned. back and sighed. "It
was so beautiful, Bart. We looked
at the paintings. Children ' were
playing: on the sidewalks and there
were so many people. You bought
me a water color from one of the
sidewalk vendors. Later, we went
to to
Her voice trailed off.
She did not finish, but simply
sat there and. stared at him. It
gave him a disturbed feeling.
At the same time his mind leap-
ed to the first thread that, so far,
had been offered to him. Paint-
ings . . . people along the side-
walks . . . village.
Had she meant Greenwich Vil-
lage, in New York, and the side-
walk sale of artists' paintings that
takes place each spring? •
"Yes," he said, tensely lighting
a cigarette. "We had fun, didn't
we? Let me see . . . where was
it We went later?"
,He waited, eager, watching her.
And be saw her' smooth, high
forehead become ridged as she
tried; to concentrate. "It was ..."
She stared, at him. She sat up
straight in the ohair, and he sud-
denly realized that she was tense
.and trembling.
And when she sank back in the
chair again a little moan escaped
her lips. "I'm . so tired," she
said in a faint voice. •
Johnny Saxon came quickly •to
his feet, bent down and gently
touched Irene Smith's .shoulder.
"Yes," he said with feeling, "you
need rest ... Marie. You've been
ill, you know. Don't you think
you'd better go to your room now?"
She nodded. •There was a trance-
like manner about ,her again.
He took her arm as they moved
toward the library doorway. She
walked somewhat stiffly and regal-
ly, and he wondered what it was
that made her do this.
Inside the library he saw Kay
Smith talking to burly Nick Wal-
ker and Nancy England. Irene's
gaze passed over them as though
they were complete strangers.
"I'm taking . . . ah . Marie
to her room," said Johnny, mo-
tioning Kay to follow.
He saw Kay nod her head as he
and Irene passed toward the hall-
way. Going up the stairs the wo-
man did not. speak. She moved
with deliberate steps, turned right
at the second floor and followed
the hallway around to the right

Coming up behind 'Johnny, mov-
ing quietly down the carpeted hall,
Kay said, softly, "I'll take care of
her. She has an idea I'm one of
the nurses here."
Turning to look at Kay Smith,1
Johnny thought she, was just a
beautiful child with tears in her
lovely green eyes. He felt as
though he should put his arm
around her slim shoulders and kiss
her gently on the forehead.
"She realizes she has been ill?"
he asked.
Kay said, "Yes. She has an idea
this is a sort of rest home." She
was fighting back a sob. "Imagine,
mother's own home!"
Kay had, reached out and pulled
the bedroom door closed. "She'll

The Voice Of
Temperance
Now it is out. We have often
wondered why the present provin-
cial government added an amend-
ment to its liquor license act mak-
ing it inapplicable in Canada Tem-
perance Act Counties. It seemed
like uncalled for and unfair dis-
crimination. Now Premier Frost
inadvertently confessed that it was
feared that other rural counties
would follow the example of Hur-
on, Perth and Peel and so a handi-
cap was placed on these three Can-
ada Temperance Act counties, the
protection of the liquor license act
was withdrawn. That is surely a
thoroughly iniquitous use of power.
