lowing the marks on the carpet. until
the tracks came to a half-open door
way. Poirot pushed the door open and
entered. He uttered sharp, Mortified
exclamation.
The bed had been slept in and there
was a tray of food on the table. In
the middle of the floor lay the body
of man. He was of just over middle
height and he had been attacked with
savage and unbelievable ferocity.
There were a dozen wounds on his
arms and chest, and his head and face
had been battered almost to pulp.
Schwartz gave half-stitled exclama-
ton and turned away. looking as
though he might be sick. DIR. Lutz
uttered Mortified exclamation in
German.
Schwartz said family: who is he?
Does anyone know"
81 fancy" said Poirot. that he was
known here as Robert, waiter
Lutz had gone nearer, bending over
the body. He pointed with finger.
There was paper pinned to the dead
mans breast. 1t had some words
scrawled on it in ink: "Nlarrascaud will
kill no more - nor will he rob his
friends
Schwartz ejaculated: "Marrascaud?
Is that Marrascaud? The man who
killed the bookie in Paris? What was
he doing here?"
Poirot said: "He was here masquer-
aiding as waiter - and by all ac-
counts he was very bad waiter. So
bad that no one was surprised when
he was given the sack"
Lutz said in his slow rumbling
voice: so - and how did he manage
that? And why?"
Poirot replied: "As to how. | think
we have the explanation of a certain
worried expression on the hotel mana
gers face. Marrascaud must have
offered him big bribe l do not sup
pose that he knew who his impromptu
waiter actually was" He added
thoughtfully: But he was not happy
about it. Oh. no, he was not happy
at all"
And Marrascaud continued to live
in the unused part Of the hotel?
So it seems, 1t would be quite
possible, you know"
DR.. Lutz said: "And Why was he
killed?'
Schwartz cried: That's easy. He
was to share out the money with his
gang. He didn't. He double-crossed
them. He came here, to this out-of-
the-way place, to lie low for a while.
He thought it was the last place in the
world they'd ever think Of He was
wrong. Somehow or other they got
wise to it and followed him." He
touched the dead body with the tip
of his shoe. "And they settled his
account - like this"
Poirot murmured: Eyes, it was not
quite the kind of rendezvous we
thought
OR. LUTz said iIritably: These
hows and why's may be very interest
ing. but I am concerned with our
present position. have sick man
on my hands and limited amount of
medical supplies. And we are cut off
from the world. For how long?"
Schwartz added: 'And we've got
three mmderers locked in cupboard!
I'd call it an interesting situation"
DR.. Lutz said: What do we do?"
Poirot said: First, we get hold of
the manager. He is not a criminal,
that one, only a man who was greedy
for money. He is coward, too. He
will do everything we tell him. My
good friend Jacques, or his wife, will
perhaps provide some cord. Our three
miscreants must be placed where we
can guard them in safety until the
day when help comes. think that
Mr.. Schwartz,s automatic will be
effective in carrying out any plans we
may make"

In Historic Virginia Setting ~
BY FRANCES LIDE,

Though picnics and swirns
have replaced the fish fries" of

in which Mrs. John Morrison
Kerr spends her summers is still
reminiscent of the days when
George Washington visited there.
Mrs. Kerr, who is national

of the Potomac River, in King
George County, Va, in the Sep

The relatives referred to were
Mrs. Kerr's ancestors, and her
summer home has been in the

was Frances Washington.
Down the river a few miles
from Albion is Wakefield, the
birthplace of George Washing
ton, while little farther on is
Stratford Hall, the home of the
Lees. In the other direction, 28
miles away, is Fredericksburg,
where the historical Kenmore,
home of George Washington's
sister, Betty Lewis, has been re-
stored in recent years.
