Then
,
another
thing
,
Orville
,
"
continued
the
coroner
,
"
I
had
Earl
telephone
the
Three
Mile
Bay
people
,
the
owner
of
the
hotel
there
as
well
as
the
postmaster
and
the
town
marshal
,
but
the
only
person
who
appears
to
have
seen
the
young
man
is
the
captain
of
that
little
steamboat
that
runs
from
Three
Mile
Bay
to
Sharon
.
You
know
the
man
,
I
guess
,
Captain
Mooney
.
I
left
word
with
Earl
to
subpoena
him
too
.
According
to
him
,
about
eight-thirty
,
Friday
morning
,
or
just
before
his
boat
started
for
Sharon
on
its
first
trip
,
this
same
young
man
,
or
some
one
very
much
like
the
description
furnished
,
carrying
a
suitcase
and
wearing
a
cap
--
he
had
on
a
straw
hat
when
those
three
men
met
him
--
came
on
board
and
paid
his
way
to
Sharon
and
got
off
there
.
Good-looking
young
chap
,
the
captain
says
.
Very
spry
and
well-dressed
,
more
like
a
young
society
man
than
anything
else
,
and
very
stand-offish
.
"
"
Yes
,
yes
,
"
commented
Mason
.
"
I
also
had
Earl
telephone
the
people
at
Sharon
--
whoever
he
could
reach
--
to
see
if
he
had
been
seen
there
getting
off
,
but
up
to
the
time
I
left
last
night
no
one
seemed
to
remember
him
.
But
I
left
word
for
Earl
to
telegraph
a
description
of
him
to
all
the
resort
hotels
and
stations
hereabouts
so
that
if
he
's
anywhere
around
,
they
'll
be
on
the
lookout
for
him
.
I
thought
you
'd
want
me
to
do
that
.
But
I
think
you
'd
better
give
me
a
writ
for
that
bag
at
Gun
Lodge
station
.
That
may
contain
something
we
ought
to
know
.
I
'll
go
up
and
get
it
myself
.
Then
I
want
to
go
to
Grass
Lake
and
Three
Mile
Bay
and
Sharon
yet
to-day
,
if
I
can
,
and
see
what
else
I
can
find
.
But
I
'm
afraid
,
Orville
,
it
's
a
plain
case
of
murder
.
The
way
he
took
that
young
girl
to
that
hotel
up
there
at
Grass
Lake
and
then
registered
under
another
name
at
Big
Bittern
,
and
the
way
he
had
her
leave
her
bag
and
took
his
own
with
him
!
"
He
shook
his
head
most
solemnly
.
"
Those
are
not
the
actions
of
an
honest
young
man
,
Orville
,
and
you
know
it
.
What
I
ca
n't
understand
is
how
her
parents
could
let
her
go
off
like
that
anywhere
with
a
man
without
knowing
about
him
in
the
first
place
.
"
"
That
's
true
,
"
replied
Mason
,
tactfully
,
but
made
intensely
curious
by
the
fact
that
it
had
at
least
been
partially
established
that
the
girl
in
the
case
was
not
as
good
as
she
should
have
been
.
Adultery
!
And
with
some
youth
of
means
,
no
doubt
,
from
some
one
of
the
big
cities
to
the
south
.
The
prominence
and
publicity
with
which
his
own
activities
in
connection
with
this
were
very
likely
to
be
laden
!
At
once
he
got
up
,
energetically
stirred
.
If
he
could
only
catch
such
a
reptilian
criminal
,
and
that
in
the
face
of
all
the
sentiment
that
such
a
brutal
murder
was
likely
to
inspire
!
The
August
convention
and
nominations
.
The
fall
election
.
"
Well
,
I
'll
be
switched
,
"
he
exclaimed
,
the
presence
of
Heit
,
a
religious
and
conservative
man
,
suppressing
anything
more
emphatic
.
"
I
do
believe
we
're
on
the
trail
of
something
important
,
Fred
.
I
really
think
so
.
It
looks
very
black
to
me
--
a
most
damnable
outrage
.
I
suppose
the
first
thing
to
do
,
really
,
is
to
telephone
over
there
and
see
if
there
is
such
a
family
as
Alden
and
exactly
where
they
live
.
It
's
not
more
than
fifty
miles
direct
by
car
,
if
that
much
.
Poor
roads
,
though
,
"
he
added
.
Then
:
"
That
poor
woman
.
I
dread
that
scene
.
It
will
be
a
painful
one
,
I
know
.
"
Then
he
called
Zillah
and
asked
her
to
ascertain
if
there
was
such
a
person
as
Titus
Alden
living
near
Biltz
.
Also
,
exactly
how
to
get
there
.
Next
he
added
:
"
The
first
thing
to
do
will
be
to
get
Burton
back
here
"
(
Burton
being
Burton
Burleigh
,
his
legal
assistant
,
who
had
gone
away
for
a
week-end
vacation
)
"
and
put
him
in
charge
so
as
to
furnish
you
whatever
you
need
in
the
way
of
writs
and
so
on
,
Fred
,
while
I
go
right
over
to
see
this
poor
woman
.
And
then
,
if
you
'll
have
Earl
go
back
up
there
and
get
that
suitcase
,
I
'll
be
most
obliged
to
you
.
I
'll
bring
the
father
back
with
me
,
too
,
to
identify
the
body
.
But
do
n't
say
anything
at
all
about
this
letter
now
or
my
going
over
there
until
I
see
you
later
,
see
.
"
He
grasped
the
hand
of
his
friend
.
"
In
the
meantime
,
"
he
went
on
,
a
little
grandiosely
,
now
feeling
the
tang
of
great
affairs
upon
him
,
"
I
want
to
thank
you
,
Fred
.
I
certainly
do
,
and
I
wo
n't
forget
it
,
either
.
You
know
that
,
do
n't
you
?
"
He
looked
his
old
friend
squarely
in
the
eye
.
"
This
may
turn
out
better
than
we
think
It
looks
to
be
the
biggest
and
most
important
case
in
all
my
term
of
office
,
and
if
we
can
only
clean
it
up
satisfactorily
and
quickly
,
before
things
break
here
this
fall
,
it
may
do
us
all
some
good
,
eh
?
"
"
Quite
so
,
Orville
,
quite
so
,
"
commented
Fred
Heit
.
"
Not
,
as
I
said
before
,
that
I
think
we
ought
to
mix
politics
in
with
a
thing
like
this
,
but
since
it
has
come
about
so
--
"
he
paused
,
meditatively
.
