SYNOPSIS

Mary Avery, a widow who lives in the har-
Dor town of Satuit, Mass, with two negro
maids, Sarah Darbe and Bessie Williams,
writes a manuscript describing the famous
Second Head murder, which occurred on her
estate Next to Mary live Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Stow who every year give summer masquer-
ade party. One of the guests of this function
is murdered. Nearby live DR.. and Mrs. Geary
and their married daughter Edith and her hus-
band Alfred Bray; Doctor Myron Marden and
his step granddaughter, Caro- Prentiss, beau-
tiful young girl who was born in France. Next
live Paul and Lora Eames and their daughter
Molly. Molly was engaged to the murdered
man, Ace Blaikie. She had been engaged to
Walter Treadway, who had been the murdered
mans secretary, but the engagement was sud
denly broken and he had left town. Other
neighbors are the Farweather sisters, Flora, .
hopeless invalid and Margaret. All but the lat
ter two attended the masquerade. Mary's eight
year-old niece Sylvia Sard is visiting her for
the summer. The wooded part of Mary's estate
is called the Spinney. In il is tiny log cabin.
Near stone wall is tiny circular pond called
the Merry Mere. This is the day of the mas
querade and excitement is high. Mary decides
TO take Sylvia, who is an unusually observant
child. Caro- Prentiss and Molly Eames drop in
during the afternoon. Molly seems pre-occu-
pied. Soon Blaikie, Doctor Marden and Bruce
Hexson, q friend of Aces, arrive.

my tall tester bed with its beauti-
full chintzes in Pompadour blues
and pinks; the light here and there
in the room, spreading into golden
pools on the polished tables or the
polished floor; Sarah's warm, dark
face above the shining gray poplin
of her uniform; Sylvia's tiny fragile
silvery figure and my tall, filmy
dark one, both of us Alright with
sparkles, from our wells. hated to
put Sylvia's mask on.
AS I did not want to keep Sylvia
up too late, / started early for the
party so that she might see the
whole show. And to make it the
more thrilling to her, improvised
great mystery in our approach to
the Stow house. A little before
nine, we emerged, hand in hand,
from my back door. I took Sylvia
down the driveway to the road in
front of the house, walked toward
the ocean and then up over the
Head, passing the Fairweather
house, the Games house, the Mar
den house, the Geary and the Bray
houses to the Stow house. We en-
tered there by the back door.
1t was a beautiful night. Many
regretted that the moon was to be
late. But I did not regret it, for l
love the stars. The air was soft and
warm. AS we walked, Sylvia's
trusting little hand in my hand and
her chattery little voice in my ear,
I could hear the long, slow boom
ing sweep of the incoming waves
and the long rafting pull-back of
the outgoing ones. explained to
Sylvia that I had started early on
her account, so that she could
watch everybody appear and that we
might be the very first to arrive. ]

body could guess who they were
the Slows always left their home
before their first guest appeared
and returned after the party had
started.
Three or four times in this brief
walk, we met policemen, the first
just beyond the park. We greeted
them all and they responded with
smiling, mystifed appreciation.
When we came into the big Stow
kitchen, the usual crowd of colored
girls filed it; the Slows Jessie
and Caddie, the Games Lulu and
Lily, sisters by the name of Lamb;
the Gearys' Jennie Snow and Win
ME Tompkins; Big Hattie Doane
and slim little Alice Robinson who
were always available for extra
work; Bessie and Sarah.
The house looked lovely. Matte

ton and she is an accomplished

Several had arrived before us.
There was that air of tingling con-
straint excited half-suppressed
mirth-which always hangs over
the beginning of a masked party.

rounded us, walking slowly about
and surveying us gravely from ev-
cry point of view. In one corner
a pair of pierrots, pierrette, a
columbine, all in black and white,
were fussing with the radio. In
the opposite corner, behind a
screen of frs, the orchestra sat
with its instruments ready. Sud-
denly a bedlam seemed to break
loose outside as a group of arriv-
ing automobiles, honking horns,
crunched the gravel. Presently a
motley-a big group of French
peasants-poured into the room.
The orchestra started. People be-
gan to dance. l found a couch in
corner which commanded the
whole scene and retired to it with
Sylvia. We sat there watching.
Sylvia did all the talking. I did
all the listening. / was willing
enough to listen. was conscious
that I was going through one of the
most curious experiences of life
time. 1t was almost eerie.
I have never had the slightest
skill in identifying my friends at the
Stow masquerade; for they can al
ways make me believe they are
what they are pretending to be. We
do not unmask until about eleven;
and up to that time, our main en-
deavor is to make as many cor
rect guesses as possible. OF course,
occasionally I do penetrate a dis
| guise, but not often.

The boat held and the shark was
taken to New York's Fulton fish
market.
The trouble started when White
and the shark went after the same
bluefish, each in his own way, at
the same time. White hooked a 10
pound bluefsh. He hauled on his
line and was just bringing the fish
to the surface when he saw dorsal
fin streaking through the water in
pursuit. The next thing White knew
the shark had landed in the stern of
his boat.

A man of bitter and glittering
words may not have many friends
but he has hosts of envious adj
mirers.
A fault member is better than a
fault finder.
Besides backbone, another thing
equally lacking, altogether too
generally, is self-respect.
Many a man has noble aims,
but it is the hits that count.

Lots of things he doesn't want

While White was fishing off Long

into his boat, attacked him and for
more than an hour thrashed its
heavy tail against the frail craft.

Uncle Phil -
Says: ~
Renaissance

keminiscence
The scenery one remembers
most fondly will be what he saw
while sitting serenely in contem-
plative meditation.
Culture also consists in knowing
what not to cultivate.
Good society wants good NOR
ais, and whenever they can't be,
wants them kept out of sight.
The way of the transgressor is
hard, but apparently not half hard
enough, or there wouldn't be SO
many repeaters.
Virtue and Vice
Following virtue is a steep as
cent; following vice is pre-
cipitous leap.
Everything in nature goes by
steps, nothing by leaps.
A good deal of common sense
consists in just simply not butting
in.
If science knew how to produce
a genius, it would produce toe
many.
Greatest triumph is to fish your
friend out of the blues and make
him laugh again.

Beekeeping Old

Bookkeeping is so old that nobody
knows when it started. Until a few
years ago the methods used differed
little from those of the ancient Per.

honey was the principal substance

lied peoples until comparatively re-
cent times.

The Greatest Prodiqality

If time be of all things the most
precious, wasting time must be
the greatest prodigality, since lost

what we call time enough always
proves little enough. Let us then
up and be doing, and doing to the
purpose; so by diligence shall we
do more with less perplexity.-

The recent decision Of the
'NINE KINGS" Gotten called
the Supreme Court holding the
AAA unconstitutional. has brOt
forth from farmers throughout
the nation, a storm of protest
of even geater magnitude than
might be anticipated from the
beneficiaries of the WPA privy-
building project, now under way
in Yellowstone and adjacent
counties, were that privy con-
structiOn project suddenly aban-
dOned. Yet in all candOr, it
seems to my possibly distOrted)
mind that the AAA program
was of no greater value than
the privy-cOnstructiOn project.
AS / understand it, the pur-
pose underlying both, was to get
money into the hands Of those
who had none of that commodity,
and to save my life / cannot see
that il makes the slightest diff
ference whether that purpose
was accomplished by paying the
farmers to destroy, or cease pro-
ducing food, or by hiring some
unemployed worker to construct
a privy Cat a cost of $60.7S) for
a farmer who had ceased to pro-
duce food.
Indeed if the truth is told, the
privy project appears to be the
most logical, for in the case of
the AAA the farmer was being
paid to reduce the production of
food, something that humans
cannot very well do without,
while on the other hand, even
/ a lawyer or banker could wOr-
~ along in some manner with
out i privy, i'm fact if we are to
believe the logic of some poll
ticians we have right here in
Montana people who have never
even seen a privy.
However, that may be, and I
would not accuse a politician Of
prevaricating, (although the only
time one can rest assured they
are telling the truth is when
they are calling their opponents
liars) it is well understood that
beneficiaries of the privy-build-
ing project in the southern pOr-
ton of the state are on the anx-
iOus seat for fear that sOme''hlast.
ed radical" will direct the atten-
tiOn of these 'eNINE KINGS"
to the government priviess with
the certain result that govern
ment privies" will also become
unconstitutional" Such a decis-
ion on the part of the "NINE
KINGS" would completely wreck
the whole New Deal program,
for If the democratic administers
ton cannot put money into the
hands of the people either by
paying for the destruction of
food or by the construction of
privies Cat an average cost of
S60.7S) then the administration
will indeed be hard pressed TO
discover a method of putting
this money into circulation.
This storm of protest anent
the decision of the "NINE
KINGS" has directed the atten.
ton of Senators and ReDresen-
tatives to the power which is
welded by the court and many
of them have announced their
intention of introducing meas.
ures to curb that power.

tives of having any knowledge
