cruise. must have been vain about
other things"
You mean he'd probably suffered
financial reverses or something, and
was too proud to face the facts, so
he shot himself?"
That's about it," nodded, pleased
that the Captain should give so much
consideration to my theory A very
dull fellow this Capt Rhodes. I had
wondered. since shipping on the S. S.
Merryfleet as "A" deck stewart, how
such dull individual could have at
tanned such responsible position.
The Captain looked down at the
lifeless body Of Arthur Kimball He
had apparently been sitting at his
desk writing. Now he was sprawled
across the surface of the desk. There
was bullet wound in his temple An
automatic was clutched in the fingers
Of his right hand Several inches be-
yond his gray head we're more pictures
Of himself.
The Captain looked at these pic
lures; then locke dat those on the
wall Then he looked at me- I felt
rather important. 1t had been who
had discovered the body; now it was
who had advanced the only logical
theory concerning the manner of his
death.
I'm probably right, don't you think
Captain?" I said
Capt. Rhodes grunted. No" he
said, Il don't" He turned abruptly
and went out.
WELL, this only confirmed my ideas
about the Captains stupidity
To me the thing was dead open and
shut. If he couldn't see it. then it
was just too bad
The first mate. tall. rugged in
dividual named Brooks. told me to go
to my quarters and stay there until
I was called This was annoying
wanted to hang around and see how
the affair turned out. I wanted
chance to gloat at the Captain when
it was proved that my theory was the
only possible solution.
It wasn't until evening that the
mate summoned me. I followed him
down the corridor to Arthur Kimball's
cabin Capt. Rhodes was there and
several other men in uniform, and
strange man and woman.
THAT was very logical theory you
advanced" the Captain said, looking
at me. I swelled out my chest. But
we've proven 1t to be dead wrong"
"Wrong?" said. But how
else :"
"Mr. Kimball was murdered!"
Evening star., 1938-05-20

That some one, I reasoned, would have
taken a cabin as near to his as pos
sible. So we began inquiring into
the careers Of all the cabin occupants
along this corridor The only people
we discovered who might have known
Kimball are Mr. and Mrs. John Cole,
these people here" The Captain
glanced toward the strange couple.
But" he continued. they have
conc!usively proven that they were in
the main salon at the time the murder
was committed"
How did they knew when the mur-
der was committed" asked impor-
family.
Il told them" Capt. Rhodes said.
Dull? The man, I reflected, was abso-
lutely stupid.
go I continued my hunt. and
presently discovered there was
only one other person on board who
knew Kimball discovered that this
man had suffered financial losses
through Kimball. and had threatened
to get him. Kimball. in fact, was
running away from this man"
And who?" I asked quietly, lis
this man."
YOU" said Capt Rhodes.
1t was a remote possibility and I
had not believed it would occur, but
nevertheless was prepared. My hand
was inside my stewards jacket pocket.
my fingers closed over the butt Of an
automatic I sprang without warning
jerking out the gun, shout on my
lips.
But the shout was never uttered.
Capt Rhodes was prepared, too.
That's why the uniformed men were
present One Of them had sided in
behind me and as I sprang landed
in his arms He was rugged brute.
His arms closed about me and held
me fast while another man took the
gun away.
The captain grunted. IT." he re-
marked dryly. you ever have occasion
to plan another murder, consider the
details He pointed to one of the
pictures of Arthur Kimball. 1t was
the picture in which Kimball was
seated at his desk writing. Note"
said the Captain, that Mr. Kimball
is holding his pen in his left hand,
as he is the riding crop and polo
mallet in the other pictures. He must
have been left-handed, yet you placed
the murder gun in his right hand"
A dull fellow, the Captain.

But the school bell called us back
to work in September. The little
red school house, children swinging
and playing on school yard, was sug-
gestive of September, while Jimmy
Odom gave the assembly his version
of School Days" Mrs. B. w. Moore
gave the report Of this month.
As the October table was reached
there were shudders of fear as the
owls, black cats, bats stared at the
crowd. Pumpkins and hay stacks
were in evidence and Miss Mary
Fulmer was present to remind US
that the "Goblins Will Get You If
You Don't Watchout." Mrs. Charles
Barrier gave the report of work fol
this month.
After hearing all the work accom-
plished during these months it wa,
very appropriate that the Npvem-
Der table represent one of Thanks
giving. A miniature ocean with the
Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock,
Indians peeking out from behind
rocks in one side denoted the land
ing of our forefathers, and on the
other side a Thanksgivinr table with
Pilgrims and friendly ms around
while wild turkeys strolled off thru
thick u~nderbrush, was the artistic
decoration for this month. The pres
ident, Mrs. Walter Odom, sang q
Thanksgiving song, after which Mrs
John Kraft told of work accomplish
ed during November.
The merry sound of Jingle Bells"
reminded all that Xmas was on the
way. Mrs. J. r. Brown presided
over the December table, with its
lovely Xmas tree, bright star and
shepherds, calling to mind how the
Herald Angels sang "Glory to God in
the Highest, Peace on Earth, Good
Will to Men" at the birth of our
Savior.
One Of the outstanding accomplish
mentS OF the year was the Install
ing of a rest room and a kitchen in
the church. also some inside remod
cling Of the parsonage.
Mrs. e. S. Lewis read resolutions
of gratitude to u retiring presi-
dent, Mrs. Walter Odom, for her un-
firing work and successful leader
ship.
After the completion of the re-
ports the society was served delicious
refreshments, with the ladies using
the new kitchen for the first time.
