CHAPTER 81

WHAT WE'RE the old mans
last words?" asked Mgr. Smith,
who seemed to be enjoying the
medieval story DR.. Tate was tell
ing.
1.-The son raised his fathers
head. and the old man nodded to
the window. or portfolio, or what
ever they had in castles then.
Death came on wings!' he whis-
pered, and then expired"
And how had he died?"
THAT is the interesting part of
the story" said DR.. Tate. 1T
was never known how he died.
There had been a sentry at the
foot of the stairs all the time the
old man was up in his tower, and
a thorough search was made of
the whole building without any
success, The room in which he
was found was 30 feet from the
ground, and no weapon was dis
covered. So the people in the
house, being as said, supersti-
tious.. !. ;"
.Oh, they were all superstitious.
You did not tell us that"
well, what can you expect they
were in those dark ages? Any
how, they believed Of course that
the vision of the old man had
come to pass, and the Angel of
Death had struck him at last"
ct see. So his murderer was
never discovered ?"
mo. What do you think of the
story?"
81 think that like many good
stories it is lie"
"Oh."
"But you are quite right in
thinking that should be inter-
ested in the story. Is it well
known about here 2"
Every. It would be difficult for
anyone to live in the parish long
without hearing it. Why, I be-
lieve that our crazy vicar even
used it in one of his sermons the
other day. Sort Of warning to
people who misbehaved them
selves. But then he's an unac-
countable chap. Well, I turn in
here. Little girl with whooping
cough. hope you clear up this
rather more urgent mystery of
ours. Terrible business. I'm not
n advocate Of capital punish
ment myself, but I think that the
man who killed Mary Thurston
ought to be hanged. Good night
TO you both. Good night"
DR.. Tate turned into a narrow

walk alone. was thinking
quickly. Something in the story
had caught my imagination. The
idea of death coming on wings.
The mystery of Mary Thurston's
death was to me so battling that
nothing seemed too far-fetcneo.
Supposed course I knew II was
fantastic-but suppose that some
one could fly like that! Even II

after all-so impossible? I re-
membered, as a boy, experiment
ing in jumps from the roof of a
shed with an open umbrella in my
hand to break the fall. The ex-
periments had not been very sue
eessfll. but still -.
After all, it was not as though
the murderer would have had to
flv in at the window. It was only
orr of it. Surely some contri-
vance, perhaps in the nature of a
parachute, would have been pos
sible. Or wings of some kind.

about such possibilities?

Don't you think that perhaps this
story of murder might be relevant

CHICAGO.-Female Kodiak bears
If not more willy than males, appar-
emily are less stupid.
Brookfield Zoo officials came to that
conclusion after three females upset
their plans to move six bears from an
old grotto to luxurious new island.
They placed cod liver oil, fresh fish
peanuts, milk and molasses in a steel
crate as lure for the females. The
males, they reasoned would follow as
a matter of course.
But the females refused to fall for
the ruse. The males, however, ignored
their consorts and ambled into the
crate.
