Game animals should be cleaned
the same day they are killed and,
if the weather is warm, the birds
should be drawn and the cavity
wiped dry with clean leaves or grass.
Extra caution should be taken in
handling rabbits and other small
game because of the possibility of
their having tularema, a disease
which is fatal to human beings. It
is wise tc use rubber gloves when

Although salt is a precious com

17. S. Imports
At the turn of the century more
than half of the United Sta,es im
ports were produced in Europe, and
only about 15 per cent came from
Asia. During the World War I peri
od this country’s purchases from
Europe were more than cut in two,
percentage-wise, while those from
the Far East almost doubled. The
increasing importance of the Far
East as a source of imports is re
flected in the figures for the five
year period 1936-1940 when 31.6 per
cent of United States imports were
purchased In Asia as compared with
only 25.3 per cent purchased in Eu
rope.
More Nutritious Cooking
In a comparative study of vitamin
C contained in vegetables cooked in
various ways, the advantage was
clearly in favor of the pressure
saucepan. Three possible explana
tions of this are that only a small
amount of water is needed in the
pressure saucepan which also
means less loss of minerals, the veg
etables are cooked tn an atmos
phere of steam in which air has beer

Vallalncourt’s former wife, Is shot to
death. McCale Is shot In the shoulder.
Sybil, Veronica's mother, Is slugged. Sud
denly, the truth strikes McCale. Rushing
out of the mansion, he approaches a
man in sailor’s uniform. He Is Stephen
Bigelow, Veronica’s brother. McCale and
his aids overpower him before he can
shoot. Just then Donlevy drives up, and
brusquely takes over.
s
CHAPTER XVII
Donlevy took over with a brusque
ness that was unfamiliar. He herd
ed them all into the library, where
an astonished and shaking butler
was fussing around Miss Adelaide.
She stood, a figure of stone, drained
of all animation. Her face was
gray against the mantel, anguished.
“Stephen,” she said in a mur
mur that became a cry.
The young-old face of Stephen
looked half ugly, half despairing
in the dim light. There was a haunt
ed look behind his eyes. He wet
his lips with the tip of his tongue.
Suddenly he slumped into a chair.
“Yes,” McCale said. His sophis
ticated mouth curled in triumph and
his tone was brittle. “It was Ste
phen Bigelow, dressed as a sailor,
whom we saw loitering about the
entrance to the Common just be
fore the murder. He looked up at
the house once, remember? He
must have seen us at the bay win
dow of the drawing room, for the
next time I noticed him, he was
reading a paper, probably to hide
his face. When Vallaincourt ap
proached the house, he must have
come across the street into the shel
ter of the areaway that goes under
the front steps—the service en
trance. When Curt was passing, he
simply stepped up to him and fired
pointblank.”
McCale looked at Donlevy and his
men, who were grouped over the
crestfallen culprit. Donlevy looked
up at him. It was so simple, really,
now that it was explained. He did
say, the ghost of derision on his
lips, “Peculiar no one mentioned a
sailor hanging around.”
"I know,” McCale answered bit
terly. “My fault entirely. I pride
myself on having a photographic
mind, and I missed that, too. Men
in the service are so common about
the streets these days that they go
almost unnoticed anywhere. That
is where he was so clever. Who
would connect a sailor with the Big
elows? One thing I should have
seen, though, most certainly. I’ll
never forgive myself for that.”
“What’s that?" asked Donlevy.
McCale reached out and took the
hat Stephen Bigelow had in his
hand. He cocked a finger and spun
the thing around like a plate.
“Well, I’ll be damned,” Donlevy
exploded.
“I don’t blame you.” There was
chagrin in McCale’s tone. “This hat
is perfectly round, which identifies
it as the type worn a number of
years ago. The style was changed
about five years ago. The newer
ones tilt up in front like a regiment
al officer’s cap without a visor.
If I’d only noticed that one thing,
I’d have realized the sailor we saw
was a phoney.” He sighed. “It
might have saved a life.” He
thought of Shari Lynn.
Donlevy cleared his throat. Then
there was a rustle of feathers and
satin at the door and Victoria
whirled in. Her eyes were bright
and her make-up stood out in ghast
ly relief against the paleness of her
face. Her fingers jerked to her hair
and a shriek died on her lips. Two
officers moved forward automatic
ally. She blurted some wild gib
berish that foretold rising hyste
ria; then suddenly was quiet.
“So you did it," she said slowly.
’’My God, I didn't think you had
the guts. You fool, you utter fool.
She isn't worth it. you know—not
worth it.”
Stephen Goes Quietly
To Prison
By this time Donlevy was rattled.
He moved in on Stephen with a
circle of his men. He gave the
charge so low it was hardly audi
ble. His voice dropped for an in
terminable minute before he
stepped back. As he did, McCale
saw Bigelow’s jaw move, his head
come up slowly. Tired, furtive eyes
lit up as he looked away from the
group that surrounded him. A sin
gle tear ran out of the corner of
an eye
He got to his feet, lowering his
head as he slowly turned to take
them all in. No one moved toward
him He gave them a contemptu
ous glare. Finally he turned to Vic
toria and spoke his last words in
their presence
“You'll tell—Mother?" His voice
broke.
She nodded.
"Let’s go," said Donlevy.
They took him away.
They had left the Bigelow house
in a storm of questions from the first
reporters on the scene, in the din of
explosions from photographers'
flash bulbs, in the confusion of the
comings and goings of officials from
police headquarters and the district
attorney’s office. McCale was look
ing forward to the peace and quiet
yf his own apartment.
When they reached it, they found
Ann Marriot dozing by the dying
fire. She jumped up. smoothing
rumpled hair into place.
"Well,” she said tartly, "are you
all rifeht? Running around like that
in your dressing gown. My good
ness. That's no way to call on the
Beacon Street Bigelows. It’s all
over, isn’t it? It came over the
radio about an hour ago. You
would have to wrestle with murder
ers, wouldn’t you? You sure you
feel all right?" She was trying hard
to cover up her concern. She had
been worrying about him all eve
ning, afraid that he might seriously
harm his injured shoulder.
“I’m all rijht,” McCale said,
"but I’m still wet and very, very
tired.”
‘Then you get into dry clothes
right away. Rocky, you mix him a
highball while I make coffee. While
you’re getting the liquid inside of
you, I want to hear about every
thing. If you think I'm going to
tuck you in and go home before I
get the whole story, you are sadly
mistaken. If you will go out chas
ing a murderer all night with a hole
in your side, you'll just have to take
the consequences. I’m going to ask
questions if I stay here the rest
of the night."
"If you keep this up, spending
your nights with me the way you
have been doing, you’ll have to
marry me to save my good name.”
"Your good name. Tsk, tsk.” She
laughed and flounced out the door.
The three of them sat a long time
over brandy and hot coffee discuss
ing the case. After a lengthy re
sume, they grew silent. McCale
finally spoke.
; Why Sybils Life
Was Spared
“The maddening thing about it all
was the motive, you see. Every
one who came under suspicion after
Veronica was more or less cleared
had a motive. But not different mo
tives—they all had the same one.”
•‘What do you mean?” Ann asked.
“Well, they were all in the plot
to get Curt married to Veronica and
in charge of the Bigelow millions.
Then when it was discovered that
he didn’t intend to give them a
share after all, they all had the
same incentive—to keep him from
getting control of it. When it was
clear that they all wanted him out
of the way for the same reason, it
became more a matter of seeking
out the person with the characteris
tics most suitable to committing
murder.”
“Bright lad,” Rocky grinned.
“It’s a wonder you fumbled as long
as you did.”
McCale scowled. "Oh, I know the
old one about everyone being a po
tential murderer. 1 had to nose a
little closer to the ground than just
accusing one right after the other.
Some of them had to have a strong
er motive than just money.
Call it jealousy combined with
passion. Karen was the ‘femme
fatale.’ of course. I think she knew
from the first that Stephen did it.
She didn't give him away, though,
not until tonight. She'd even thought
of helping him to run away again.
That’s why she drew the $800. But
tonight when I asked her if she
knew why Sybil hadn’t been killed
instead of stunned, she didn’t an
swer. However, as I went out the
door, she began to play the Lullaby
from Jocelyn. It was her way of
telling me about the mother fixa
tion Stephen had. He could not bring
himself to kill her, even though he
realized she had gone to the attic
to see if his sailor suit was still
there- and the gun.”
“Oh, that’s what she was looking
for.”
"Of course. Funny. All the way
along the line, everything pointed
to the sailor angle. It wasn’t until
I found the black silk square in
the attic that I realized what I had
missed It was a kerchief, you
know, the kind sailors wear knotted
about their necks. When I realized
what it was, the whole puzzle fell
into focus. There was a sailor
lounging near the gate across from
the house on the afternoon of the
murder. Then Miss Bigelow had
told me that Stephen had once run
away and joined the navy. He even
mentioned the fact himself. Then
there was the picture missing from
Shari Lynn’s wall. The only sailor
in all those uniforms. Stephen’s
photograph, of course. The picture
was taken years and years ago—
not a very good one—but if I had
given it more than a cursory glance
the night I saw it at Shari Lynn’s,
I think I would have recognized
him."
“Lord. The whole business was
out in the open all the time." This
from Rocky.
"Uh uh. That’s where he was
clever. It was almost too out fn the
open. Stephen told no lies. He ad
mitted being jealous of Karen. Ev
erything he did was logical, you
know, except attacking his mother.
He shouldn’t have done that, be
cause he couldn't follow through on
it. He didn’t have the heart to kill
her. It showed that the killer had
a fondness for Sybil that kept him
from destroying her. That definite
ly put the finger on Stephen.”
It All Ends
With a Kiss
Rocky said, surprisingly, "He was
lucky about the false clues, too,
boss. He didn’t try to leave any
himself—false ones—to point anoth
er way, like most murderers do.
There was the red wig and every
body being in the same locality at
just the right time to come under
suspicion. Those things Just hap
pened. All the confusion it caused
was lucky for him—for a while,
anyway."
"That’s certainly right. He al
most got away with bumping me
off, too."
"He’d never been caught if he’d
killed you,” said Ann.
"Oh, I don't know. Donlevy’s
smart and he would have plugged
away until he got the right line, no
doubt.”
“Maybe.” She sounded skeptical.
"Good heavens. It’s five o’clock.
What about you and your good name
now?” She grinned at McCale.
Rocky tilted his bulk from his
chair, saying,,“I’ll mosey along, too.
Come on, Ann. I'll drop you.”
“You get right into bed now.
Duke,” she ordered. "I hope you’re
going to be all right. You aren’t
running a fever are you?”
She put her hand on his forehead
and, bending over suddenly, gave
him a long kiss.
“I’m fine,” answered McCale
happily, "but if you want my tem
perature to go up, you’re certainly
doing the right thing "
