When the n o t e d sleuth, Jim
Bennett, accepted the invitation
of his secretary, Sandy Hollis, to
join with her family for a week-
end of pheasant shooting in ru-
ral Ohio, he looked forward to a
pleasant, quiet time. But when
he met her family and friends, he
realized that he was amid a dra-

Homer came and sat beside me,
puffing thoughtfully on his pipe.
"Sandy still at the hospitar?"
I asked.
“Yes. She and Mom stayed
there. I’came on back home. No-
thing I eon do.”
"Anyhange?"
He shook his head, and we sat
in silence for mayb a minute.
Then he said, “Jim, I want to
thank you for carrying our boy
all that way.”
“It was nothing."
“I won’t forget it- I kind of
blame myself for leaving you

He nodded slowly. “I’ve thought
of that, and it might be a good
thing. Ralph’s a good boy, but
something's bothering him —he's
mixed up. After the trouble he
had with Judy — whatever it waa
— he started seeing Eileen right
away. It was too fast. And then
he was away all that time, and
now he's home, and I don’t think
the boy knows himself what he

I said, "Do you suppose Eileen

weren’t for her engagement to

“Maybe," Homer said shortly.
"I don’t know.”
