Nutritious Dishes
Are you struggling with the prob
lems of planning meals with ration
ing or depleted
stocks of food?
Do you get late
to market some
days and find you
can't find what
you wanted? Then,
today’s recipes
and suggestions
will be of real
help to you—for
these times are
real problems for every home
maker.
Now that you are shopping not
only with a budget but also with
a point budget, you must plan care
fully so as not to use all the pre
cious points before your month is
up. Use as many unrationed foods
as possible, and budget those points
carefully which you have to use.
Never lose sight of nutrition quali
ties however, for your body must be
properly fed to do its work.
Lima beans, rich source of vege
table protein, thiamin and riboflavin
make an excellent meat extender.
With three eggs and careful season
ing, it will have an unmistakable
appeal—and plenty of hearty satis
faction:

Lynn Says:
The Score Card: When you plan
meals these days, do it with ra
tion book in hand. Remember,
you're spending not only money
but points and that requires ex
tra keeping of accounts.
Plan meals in advance keep
ing in mind what you need and
what points you can use to best
advantage with it. Don't squan
der points. If. for example, you
have an eight-point coupon, and
need something valued at six
points, try not to use the eight
point coupon except with any
thing which corresponds with it.
Since canned and packaged
goods will be at a premium, plan
those menus carefully. Don’t do
without fruits and vegetables if
the coupons are used up—have
plenty of fresh, unrationed ones
on hand.

THE STORY SO FAR: Judy Jason,
who is telling the story, receives an
anonymous letter enclosing $800 and ask
ing her to bid (or an abandoned church
to be auctioned the nest day. She finds,
in an old chest, the body of a man identi
fied as Roddy Lane. The body disap
pears a few hours later. A fish shed
burns, apparently killing an old man
named Brown who is supposed to have
lived there. Judy finds Roddy Lane’s dia
mond in the handbag she left at the
church the day of the auction. Lily Ken
dall is found dead, with Hugh Norcross’
'arf around her neck. Albion Potter
gives Judy a picture of the church he
lias Just finished.
Now continue with Judy’s story.
CHAPTER XV
I kept a good lookout, too. I could
see Uncle Wylie's bent figure down
at the bridge. In the living room,
cooler than the porch, the men were
gathered, still talking things over.
Finally, they decided to get out
the least damaged boat and try to
put it into shape. Victor agreed;
anything was better than idly wait
ing. Mr. Quincy could sit on the
beach and wave his flag to try to at
tract a passing craft.
"Not the beach!" For the first
time I saw Mr. Quincy staring at
Victor with genuine suspicion.
“Beach isn’t visible, and you know
it. Anybody could finish me off
down there. No, thanks. I’ll stay
where I can be seen by all. Then,
if some killing occurs, you can’t
blame me.” He told me afterward,
when the men had left the room,
he’d really begun to think Quade
was our killer. Stark fear had re
placed his former bantering man
ner.
"At first, I only half suspected
him," he said. "But it’s all too
pat He turns up from nowhere and
trouble begins. He could have done
all of it. The letter, the money,
the fire and the killing. He found
Miss Kendall’s body. Judy, stay
with your aunt. I don’t trust Victor
Quade."
"Well, I do!" I returned with
some heat. "I guess a woman's in
stinct is worth more than—”
"Didn’t do that unfortunate Ken
dall woman much good, did it?”
"You’re letting this get you, Mr.
Quincy. Perhaps I did it. Perhaps
you did. But I'm sure Victor
Quade—”
"So that’s how it is!”
If I’d felt the blood flooding my
neck before, it crept all over my
face now. ‘Til get you a red table
cloth from the linen closet and tie
it around a broom. That do?”
“Nicely,” he said. “Then will you
wheel me down the ramps, right
where I tell you?”
"Uh-huh.” I clipped up the stairs.
The linen closet adjoined the bath
room. I found the faded old cloth
I wanted and was about to run down
again when the sound of crying
reached me from up the hall. Poor
Bessie Norcross! No wonder she
couldn’t sleep.
I tapped on her door. The weep
ing stopped immediately. I tapped
again. The least I could do was to
give her her brother’s message. And
the least she could do, I thought, was
to learn how he was. I tapped a bit
louder.
"Miss Norcross!” Rap-rap-rap!
"Bessie, it’s Judy."
I heard her stirring and waited,
but she didn't unlock the door.
"Bessie, I’ve a message from
Hugh. Open the door."
I could hear her bedsprings creak
ing again. Then footsteps. She came
close to the door. This time the cry
ing commenced again.
"I'm all right, Judy. For heav
en’s sake, go away. And give this to
the police when they come.”
Amazed, I waited for her to open
the door. Instead, I heard a shov
ing sound on the floor, and saw at
my feet a white envelope. I picked
it up and said, "Did you say—po
lice?”
"That’s what I said. Have they
come yet?"
“No,'.’ I said, backing away, as a
feeling of horror came over me.
"Well, they will. And they’ll keep
me awake hours asking questions,
questions, questions! I've got to
sleep, and the medicine won't
work.” She was fairly raving at me.
"Hugh took the rest of it away.
Oh, Judy, beg him to give you just
one of those veronal—darn him!”
I was already heading for the
stairs. ‘TU try!” But I had no in
tention of getting veronal or any
thing else. What kind of a person
was she to help trap her own broth
er? I never heard of anything so
cold-blooded in my life. Her tone,
when she said Hugh had taken her
dope stuff, had been full of hate. He ]
was such a good brother to her, !
and now, in his necessity, she not
only locked herself in but helped the
police.
“Come here, quick! Bessie Nor
cross thinks her brother's guilty!
Look, she’s written to the police.”
Victor shushed me when I told
him about Bessie’s letter. “Bless
you! Want the crew upon us?” He
wagged his dark head at the men
who were standing around trving to
figure how to get the boat out of the
barn loft.
Without a moment’s hesitation
Victor tore open Bessie's letter. I
was tickled mauve that he dared,
yet I couldn't help wondering why
he didn’t let Hugh do it A fleeting
suspicion crossed his mind. If Hugh
were right and Victor guilty—!
“End justifies the means, Judy.”
He began to stroll away from the
barn, while from the piazza Thad
deus Quincy waved a red cloth from
the end of his cane and yelled at me.
"Just a minute!” I yelled back at
him. “Oh, please, Mr. Quade! Does
she say he did it?” I said to Quade.
Victor gave a low whistle. "This
beats the Dutch! Listen, Judy. It's
a confession.”
"Not Bessie!”
"Bessie.” Victor made a quick
survey to be sure he wasn't over
heard and then commenced to read
in a low tone:
" ‘I, Elizabeth Norcross, being of
sane mind, do hereby of my own ac
cord, on this Fourth of July, confess
to the murder of Rodney Lane Jr.,
and Lily Kendall. But I did not
have anything to do with the death
of that poor old man recluse, they
call Brown, whom I never even saw,
nor the burning of his shack, nor the
explosion aft the bridge. I feel sure,
though, there were no fireworks at
the Head the night before the
Fourth, both were accidents. The
bridge may have collapsed; I don’t
know.
" ‘But my brother, Hugh, did not
have a hand in any of this murder
business, nor know that I had. He
is entirely innocent in every way,
although several things might look
suspicious. I can account for all
three: The initialed golf club, the
blue scarf and his being seen before
the crime of Roddy’s death, in the
vicinity, I mean, by Judith Jason
and Thaddeus Quincy. He told one
lie—to save me. He said, when he
went out, having missed me, last
He fell down the stairs and must
have struck his head on the granite
floor.
night, about the time Judy spoke to
a shadow, that he saw my light
come on in my room, so he knew I
was all right. He couldn’t have.
My room is on the other side of the
house. Go look for yourselves. He
did it to protect me.' ”
We glanced at the inn bedroom
and saw she was telling the truth.
Then continued: “ ‘Now, about the
spot on my coat. It’s blood. Hugh
tried to save me there, also. He
didn’t borrow any turpentine from
Mr. Potter. I did. I tried to clean
oft the blood, but made it worse, 1
guess. Mr. Potter’s door was open
a crack. He’d gone to town. I took
the bottle from his table.’ ”
“Please, won’t somebody help me
down the ramp!” I hearc^ Mr. Quin
cy holler again, but this time I did
not turn around.
“Let him quilt,” Victor said, re
suming the letter:
“ ‘To make this horrible story
short, I’ll say that my motive was
vengeance. Five years ago Roddy
Lane jilted me after a summer’s
courtship in this very place. My
brother was just a boy, but he saw
me have a nervous breakdown and
vowed he'd get even with Lane some
day. I’d* reserved that same pleas
ure for myself. I take the Rockville
paper just to keep track of Roddy.
When the auction of the church was
advertised I hoped he might show
up. Got Hugh to vacation here, os
tensibly to prove I could again visit
the scene of my broken heart and
show him the wound didn't bleed
any more. Hugh fell for it. He’s
been a good brother to me. I told
him the sight of the Castle, where
I’d laughed and danced and had my
romance, didn’t give me a pang any
longer. It wasn’t true.
“ ‘When Roddy walked into the
dining room at Gerry’s, all the old
bitter-sweet love came back again.
And he didn’t even pretend to recog
nize me! I’d never wronged him.
I don’t have to bare my heart any
more. The old adage about a wom
an scorned is enough. I determined
to go through with it. He'd never
live to break another trusting heart.
" ‘I left the table, passing but not
speaking to him. I couldn’t bear it
if he greeted me like an old friend,
in that casual, sneering way of his
which was the way he treated his
castoffs. I’d studied his career and
found it full of things he’d neglect
ed to mention, such as his wife!
I’d never dreamed he was already
married while making love to me.
“ ‘I picked up the club Mr. De
Witt had been using on the lawn and
went for a stroll. Everybody, near
ly, had gone to town, so I thought.
Hugh was in his room. I saw Roddy
coming down the Castle drive. He
wanted to talk to me, he said, to tell
me how miserable he’d been—the
mistake we’d made of our lives.
Could we ever forgive ourselves!
And begin again!
“ ’I had to steel myself against
his passion. All the old feeling came
rushing back. I was beginning to
melt like sugar. He had to get some
thing out of the church basement
before it was auctioned off, he said.
I asked him if he’d meant it when
he said at supper he was going to
buy it. “Buy it? What for?’* he
said. “I only came to the Head be
cause I knew you were down here.”
I knew that was a lie. Hugh and
I had only just arrived the week be
fore, quite unheralded. We went
into the church—Ae door was un
locked—and he told me to wait but
I followed him. “Roddy, are you
asking me to marry you again?” I
said. He took me in his arms and
kissed me. For a minute I was
happy. Then he said: “No more
wedding bells for me. Sort of com
panionate, maybe, darling.” We
were standing at the top of the base
ment stairs. I was so mad I gave
him a push away from me. He fell
down the stairs and must have
struck his head on the granite floor.
Ugh! I can see him now—all
smashed. I dragged him to the
chest and somehow got him in. I
forgot about the golf club, which
must have fallen down into the pool
of blood. I heard somebody on the
steps—Miss Kendall, or maybe it
was Judy and Mr. Quincy. Any
way, I ran out the basement door
and home. Judy will remember she
heard the door squeak, so I must
have not quite closed it. I didn’t
know what to do. I considered jump
ing into the sea but hadn’t the cour
age.’ ”
“Poor Bessie!” I murmured.
Victor turned the last page.
“ ‘I never intended Lily Kendall
any harm. She was a bore and a
pest, always bragging about her
niece—that Gloria Lovelace, and
trotting out her pictures. Gloria
was her whole life, but I hadn’t come
to the Massachusetts coast to hear
about her. Hugh and I couldn’t take
a walk but it was Gloria all the
way. I knew Lily had seen me
earlier that fatal evening when
she'd gone to watch the sunset, but
before reaching the church, of
course. I knew she’d seen me wear
ing Hugh’s blue scarf around my
head. I'd lost the scarf while I
was with Roddy. When you all went
to the bridge to connect with the
milkman, Lily didn’t go. Neither
did I. We took a walk together to
ward the sea. She told me she’d
picked up my scarf and thrown it
into the ocean, but the wind had
blown it back into the Pirate’s
Mouth. She accused me openly of
killing Roddy. I got her to show me
where, and gave her a little push,
too. She fell you know where, and
I rolled her toward the slit in the
rock, where she struck. The hand
kerchief was there, all right, but I
didn’t tie it around her neck. It
slipped out of my fingers beyond
reach into the crevice.. I had noth
ing to fish it out with, and hoped
when the tide turned it might be
washed away. But some wretch tied
it around her neck to make it look
as if my brother did it. I didn’t
strangle her. She died, just as Rod
dy did, from the fall. If she hadn’t
said I killed Roddy because he jilt
ed me I wouldn’t have pushed her
in. That word jilted finished me.’ ”
“She’s crazy!” I gasped.
“Oh, no,” Victor said. “Just a lit
tle more of it.” And he read the last
pitiful explanation of that awful
night
“ ‘I was afraid I might be seen,
so I crept out of the Pirate’s Mouth,
up the other side, the steep way,
crawling around the clifT back of the
church, and down to the strip of
beach to the woods back of Gerry's
barn. I got across the road to the
inn and back to my room without
being seen. And that’s all. I’ll try
to answer police questions—if I’m
awake. But, before God in Heaven,
my brother is innocent!’ ”
“How dreadful!”
Victor sighed. “Yes, how dread
ful. What does she mean—if she’s
awake? Does she take sleeping med
icine all the time?” He jerked around
and started back. “Hurry, Judy.
She’s pretty desperate."
“Don’t worry. She begged me to
beg Hugh for another pill or tablet,
or however veronal comes. And I
heard her say he’d refused to give
her any—darn him. Her words,
not mine."
“How she must love him!"
“Sounded pretty mad at him
through the door.”
“Poor girl. No wonder she want
ed sleeping tablets after writing all
this.”
“Wasn't she brave to confess!"
“Confess? Why, you innocent lit
tle baby! This document lets Bes
sie off scot free.”
