Murder is Forgetful

By WILLIAM IOGABT (Continued)

"She's not in her room. A few moments ago I thought I heard something. and got up. I went in to see if she was all right.' And... the was gone!"

Key was looking up at him with tear-filled, beautiful eyes. He sud- denly felt self-conscious in Moe's ill-fitting robe and his heir standing up at coekeyed angles.

"Maybe she went downstairs for something." Moe suggested. He had been sitting up in bed.nsheet around his flgue. listening.

But Kay quickly shook her head. ”I've looked. She's not in the house. I didn't want to get upset, so I came to you."

Johnny touched her arm. good idea."

"1 think she's gone out." the girl explained with alarm. "Lord knows what might happen to her.” Petting the dogs shoulder as the big animal fondly nuzzled up against her. she said. "I thought if you took Michael he might be able to find her."

she looked down at the dog, spoke in a different tone of voice. "You'll find Irene. won't you. Michael? You lmow...lrene?"

The Great Danes tail wagged. slapping hard against Johnny's leg. It was like the snap of a whip through the material of the robe. Johnny moved back. "I think he knows what you mean." he said.

Key said. "He knows. all right

"A

Michael used to go everywhere with mother." Johnny quickly dressed while

the girl returned to her room to do the same. She insisted upon going with him. The dog. Mich- ael. was with her now.

"You'd better stay here at the house." Johnny told his partner. "Maybe Irene'll come back. Try not to get everyone aroused. it will only create confusion."

"Do you think nnythings hap- pened to her?" Moe was moving around the room looking for his clothes, his eyes red-rimmed.

"How the devil do I know?" said Johnny. He pulled a light- weight slip-on sweater over his head. He was wearing a pair of old summer slacks and rubber- soled nhoes. He had removed the heavy .38 and a flashlight from his bag. was heftlmz t.he gun in

his hand. wondering how he muid carry it in the clothes he was wearing. There wasnt a

pocket large enough in the slacks.

Tossing the revolver on the bed. he said. "You'd better keep it. We'll have the dog. anyway." At the door. on the way out. he and- ed. "See tit you can find that guard-Eitevo. He must be laying down on the job. Funny, he didn't see. her."

Kay was ctncrclng from her bedroom as Johnny reached the (gr wing of the hall. She had hooked a heavy choke-collar leash to the Great Dane.

she spoke in a hushed voice as .-he joined Johnny. ”Mot.hrr cant be far. it was only a little while ago I heard someone moving a- round. I not right urn"

"No. don't weks her up.” John- ny said. They moved along the wall. Glancing back. he noted there was no light from beneath the door of NencyEngland's room.

Downstairs. the first thing he discovered was that the main front door was not latched tight- ly. He remembered the butler closing it. ”Bhe went out this way." he told Kay. He took the leash from the girl's hand as they stepped outside.

Key was wearing low-heeled shoes, a skirt and a light Ijecket that had large colored buttons down the front. Her eyes were bright and glowing in the night.

"Johnny. you donlt think she'd go near the water? I mean...the dock..." There was a catch in her voice.

"Now. now." he said with feel- ing. taking her arm. With his left hand he held the leash. The big animal was straining at the narrow. round. leather choke-col- lar. The collar kept him from yanklng Johnny off his feet. "We'll probably find her Just wandering around."

The girl bent down. patted the

dog's side. "All right, Michael." she said tensely. "Go find her!" Find Irene!"

The animal already seemed to know something was wrong. Also. without hesitatiomhe had started directly across the lawn, avoiding the circular drive. when he made a direct line for the swimming pool, beyond the house, Johnny felt the girl's arm tighten within his grasp.

They allowed the Greatbane to "lair. Johnny had released the gril'5 arm now and was using Lil" iiashlizht. The weaving beam slashed a corridor of light in the dark gloom.

one thing bothered the private

detective. He said to Kay. "I thought you gave her sleevinl pills?"

”Only a very mild dose. Just enough to calm her down earlier tonight."

They saw, now. that the dog was swerving away from the pool. They had to move rapidly in or- der to keep up with him without running. There was another open sweep of lawn ahead.

"I think he's trailing her all right." said Johnny. "A5 10355 he's not taking time out to in- vestigate any trees."

”They're very intelligent dogs."

"What time is it?"

"Around four olclock."

Strange ilut True

lt'e surprising the number of persons who have a lot of eccen- tricities. Take for example. old Cornelius Vanderbilt. He never used a cheque book. but wrote his cheques on ordinary wrapping paper. When he was ill. be con- tacted a spiritualist to talk with his mother who died forty years before. They got together all right. and Madam Vanderbilt ad- vised mustard plaster for her son's aching back. Vanderbilt also be- lieved. in evil spirits and to keep them from attacking his person while he slept. he had the four legs of his bed set in four dishes filled with salt.

The late H.G. Wells destroyed the labor of five years, books. art- iclu. etc.. because he considered the work dull and amateurish.

Louisa May Alcott. author of that amazing story. "Little Wom- en." thought she'd penned a fail- ure - that is - until Ralph Waldo Emerson came to its rescue. The published book became a "beat seller" for 60 years and no won- der for Little Women is one of the most popular girls' stories in the world. Yet strange to say. Louisa Alcott got no kick out of writing it. In fact, it bored her so that she remarked' to a i'rierrd,l "Digging ditches would have been a more pleasing task."

And the Rev. Charles L. Dodg- son was-actually ashamed of hav- ing written that fascinating and famous book "Alice in Wonder- land.” That's why he used the name of Lewis Carroll when Alice in Wonderland was published. For over three quarters of a cen- tury it has remained a most pop- ular story with children in every part of the world. What I treas- ure ot nonsense and sagacity is summed up in ihe following often repeated lines:

”The time has come, the Walrus said. I

To talk of many things.

Of shoes. and ships, and sealing wax.

And cabbages and kings.

And why the sea is boiling hot.

And whet-he-r pigs have wings."

The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were so religious that they never would fly the planes iheyid inven-ted on the Sabbath day. Not even the King of Spain could persuade them from break- ing the precepts of an old-fe9h- ioned religion.

The. tune of ”Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" was the first song hit that ever came from an animated cartoon. It was penned on the back of a used envelope in just five minutes. Walt Disney has amassed a. fortune from his unique animal creations, but when he started his venture he was flat

broke.

The last of the Russian Czars.l ' .

Nicholas 11. together with his family, were herded into a dirty

has m.' Montreal, Toronto' and

cellar and euaulnetod on the night of July 10, 1918. Thus ended the rule of a man who, for nearly half a century, lived the life of Riley in a country which com- prises one-sixth of all the land on earth. ”Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."

The greatest showman on certh. P.T. Barnum. knew how to fool the public and make them like it. On the other hand. he was often fooled himself. For example. he once put 82.500. - all the money he owned at the time - into a preparation which was supposed to grow hair. on bald pates. Hie partner got the money and tied. and poor old Barnum got the use- less liquid. On another occasion. he became involved in the man- ufacture of clocks which emptied his purse to the tune of half a million dollars. But he came back with a lecture entitled: "How to Make Money." which brought the financial tides back no strong that for I time he was pulling down SL000 a night.

And, believe it or not, Barnum read a four column account of his own death in the Evening Sun. of New Yank. and loved it.

Robert Ripley could quote. be- lieve it or not. facts by the hour but had a hard time remembering names and faces of people whom he'd met often.
