A Conviction Gnaws Me

ONE terrible conviction was gnaw-
" ing at me persistenfly-the con-
viction that the Skipper alone was
responsible for our weekend Of hor-
rors- Her peculiar actions had been
the direct cause Of our presence at
the Bluff We had only her unsub-
stantiated story to explain her invi-
tation. and that story was bizarre, to
put it mildly.
II was possible, OF course, but It
was difficult to believe that Norman
Harrington had lived all these years
unknown 10 his own SON Was IL
plausible that Martha Harrington,
who possessed above all things q
would have insisted upon harboring
a dangerous lunatic in that deserted
spot?
Another stumbling block was the
presence Of Jude Blinshop. Surely q
person of the Shippers determine
ton could have found a dozen pre-
texts for revoking commonplace
invitation when she realized til
very real danger involved. And why
the unusual attitude of both sisters
toward poor Jude? With Michael
haunting Gay under NJ Farrington's
nose. the old lady had almost ignored
Jude. And the Shippers Keep
Michael away from Judel" still rang
In my earS-unexplained.
Step by step once more recon-
structed the events of the case. We
had come there because Of the
Skipper. Her attitude had been
strange, particularly in regard to
Jude. She had been out Of doors for
an indefinite space Of time on the
night Of the girls death, and her
actions were none too satisfactorily
accounted for. She would have
known more about the whereabouts
OF firearms at the Bluff than anyone
else in the house. And Jude would
have followed the Skipper into the
storm without a moments hesita-
ton
She had been in my own sight dur
ing the episodes Of Cook, Annie and
Christopher. and she had been In
the sight Of all the others when VIII

Highway Officials
Working for Money
For Roods I o Mines

The Libby Commercial club re-
Gently took up with the state high
way commission the matter of state
assistance in the building of mine
to market roads. The club received
a letter in reply to its resolution.
The letter reads:
.Your resolution has to do with
the development of mine to market
roads as feeder highways. At pres
ent the state highway department
has no state funds to match federal
funds in the construction of feeder
highways. However, we are trying
to work out program whereby
the counties will perform certain
work such as grading and installa-
ton of drainage at county expense,
which work will be converted into
a stipulated sum of money and will
be considered as match money to
match federal funds for surfacing
through contracts to be let by this
department. We have not yet been
able to work out the details of this
program and are waiting informa-
ton from the bureau of public roads.
Just as soon as the details are COM
pleted, our division engineers will
get in touch with the county COM
missioners concerned and explain
the matter fully to them"
