FLYER KILLED
CORPUS CHRISTI, Hov. 9.—
(UP)—Funeral arrangements were
pending today for Midshipman J.
C. Leer, Tampa, Fla., killed yester-
day when his F8F plane crashed as
he approached Cabaniss field for
a landing. Leer was a flight stu-
dent at the air base.
“Quite a crowd tonight, Caesar,”
Myles greeted the very tall, very
Lxack, very straight butler at the
door of Sunnyside.
“Yes, sir, Mr. Myles. Seems like
the good old days befo’ the war
when Miss Tassie had parties an’
you was always on han’. She’s re-
ceivin’ in the drawin’ room, sir.”
Having paid his respects to host-
ess and guest of honor, Myles
stood in the doorway of the dining
room with its beautiful woodwork,
carved shutters and high cornices
which were the envy of every anti-
quarian in the country. From the
broad hall drifted the music of
woodwinds and strings playing,
“The Night Was Made for Love.”
The music provided a running
accompaniment to his tho^hts.
Three days ago he had had lunch-
eon here with Miss Tassie and
Eckhard, wow the greet room was
filled with guests in gala attire in-
vited to meet the artist Was pink
the top fashion for women’s
frocks this summer ? Those tn
view ran the gamut of tints and
shades from flesh color to Ameri-
can Beauty. There was a sprin-

He responded to friendly waves
and affectionate hails while his
thoughts and the music traveled
on together. Three days gone and
he had made no progress in get-
ting at the truth of the theft at
the Gallery. Had anyone? Fran
had been incommunicado, he had
been unable to reach her. Did it
mean that for one reason or an-
other her dislike of him had been
given fresh impetus or that a clue
to the break had been unearthed
and she had been forbidden by her
boss to talk with him?
Morrison Grove also had been
elusive. He had followed up his
call at the house with telephone
.inquiries. “Out of town,” each
time a voice had replied. Too late
now to check on Ute clue of the
wet suit, it would be bone dry by
this time. The more he thought
of it the more he believed it to be
coincidental, like the arrival tn the
same town of the artist who had
painted the ruins of a Belgian
castle and ‘the butler who had
served in one, if you could • believe
the man's story.
“Can I get you something:, sir?”
Barth, ex-butler, ex-Duhkirk, ex-
what-have-you, appeared as if con-
jured into being by his thoughts.
The lock of hair dangling on his
high forehead was as white as his
immaculate shirt front.
> For no apparent reason Myles's
memory televised a figure skulk-
ing among rocks, sound tracks
broadcast a song: «
Nita, Juanita,
Ask thy soul if we should part,
and the scrape of a boat across a
beach. 4
At the time he had suspected
that the song had been a signal;
for a hectic instant had thought
it might be connected with news of
Ken. had dismissed the idea as Im-
possible. Man and girl rendezvous,
doubtless.
“His brown outfit was so like
the color of the rocks,” Fran had
said on the terrace of Shore Acres.
Perhaps she was right, perhaps
the man was a spy, they were FBI with a
operating on both sides of the
Atlantic. i
“Miss Trent engaged me to help
out the servants,” Barth added as
if his presence rated explanation,
as if he had read Myles's mind.
“Thanks, but I’ll look after my-
self.” «
“Quite a crowd around the table,
sir. I can bring something from
the pantry.”
Darn the guy’s persistence.
Myles opened his lips to assure
the waiter that a crowd didn’t fill
him with ten-ex', closed them as
he met the man’s steady eyes.
"What goes? What goes?” he
asked himself. More behind this
than meets the ear?
"Something tells me you’re right,
Barth. If Susanna's chicken salad,
plus pecans, is on the menu Td
like that with anything else you
recommend.

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
WAS MORRIE GROVE in love
with Fran? Myles asked himself.
Suppose he were, suppose he had
given up hope of getting Nat, gone
all out for another woman? That
wouldn’t take him to the Gallery.
She was at Shore Acres when he
drove away. Common sense would
suggest that, she would remain
there through the storm. Could be,
though, that a man tn love had no
common sense. Nevertheless there
was a wet suit stained by the drip
from tree or shrubs to be account-
ed for. Slight as it was, incredible
as It was, he’d better not pass up
the rtrnnee that It was a clue.
Monte Grove was hie dish for the
present. He'd drop in on him.
The dapper white-coated Filipino
who opened the door ef the buff
Ootenial house where Morrison
: bachelor hall shook his
head in response to Myles's in-
quiry.
“No, sir, the boss not home. He
telephoned from :he tailor’s, where
he took his suit, that he was going
out of town for a few days. Very
sudden, sir, he didn’t take a bag.”
“Did Mr. Grove have a cold
when he left?"
"Not a real cold, sir. He sneezed
once this morning, but that was all
I-heard.”
"Very tudden, sir, he didn’t take
a bag... .Je sneezed once.” Myles
turned over the words mentally as
he' drove through the main street.
Yesterday afternoon on the terrace
at Shore Acres Morrie had ex-
claimed:
“Something tells me that fcll^
will bear watching.”
Had he seen Barth steal away
from the ell? Was he on the trail
of the man’s past? He shot the
roadster forward, muttering to
himself:
*1’11 be darned! It’s possible.”

“Very got.4, sir. There is a table .
at the nghr end of the terrace,
quite secluded in case you prefer /
to eat alone. If agreeable to you

He didn’t wait to learn ff it
would, which made the statement and
more of an order than a sugges-
tion. Myles’s eyes followed Ma
black shoulders and white head aa
he edged his way toward the pan-
try door between laughing, ehat-
ting, eating groups. What tn thun-
der had he meant by steering Mm
to a certain table? | ,
“Ten minutes,’' the man who i
called himself Barth had emplte-
sized. He cheeked by Ms vsatah.
Battles had been won and lost In
less time than that. What would
the next ten minutes disclose?
He returned to the drawing
room with its soft gray walls and
tourmaline pink hangings at tong,
open windows.
Tonight Miss Tassie was re- l<
splendent in light blue net with
silver sequins which glinted' with
each motion of her restless body.
A narrow coronet of diaff’HMvls en-
circled her mountainous black
hair-do. Eckhard, in white dirmer
clothes, and a state of pride and
excitement, was beside her. Would
she have worn that huge brooch
and the broad bracelets of aqua-
marines and diamonds had she
known of the theft at the Gal-
lery? Had Henry Sargent the
right to keep under cover the Tact
that his property had been stolen?
"Hi, Myles!” Morrison Grove 1
stopped beside him, Ms sunburn
brought into high relief by Mb
white coat. “Hear you’ve been
trying to contact me. Anything
important ?”
"Thought it was at the time, but
it’s blown over.” Too late to bring
up the question, “How account for
your drenched suit the night of
the storm?”
'“This is strictly off the record."
Grove moved a step nearer auto
spoke in a low voice. "When I was
on the newspaper I helped the
little information.
Thought they might be abte to re-
ciprocate. I got darned uneasy
about our mystery man, have been
trying to check on him.”
"Mystery man?” Myles's eyes
and voice registered bewildertnest
though he knew quite well of
whom Grove was speaking.
“You haven’t forgotten Fran's

ment of jobs, have you?”
“Oh, that guy.
