As soon aS saw the pencil and paper in the young mans hands, l realized what was happening. l had thwarted Maudie by going to the inn, but in leaving her at home alone I had merely set the stage for tho press.
 1t was hard to be firm with Tod Palmer, for that was his name According to Maudie, who said that Ae was editor of the Lake County Gazette, the little weekly paper lhat gave all the local news from strawberry festivals to farm auc- lions. could well imagine that Che Cord murder was the biggest piece of news that had burst upon the community in some time, and that the editor was already hunt ing up type big enough for fit- ting heaodline.
 Both he and Maudie sensed my attitude about this interviewing end Maudie hastened to soothe me. "He's a charming young man; not at all like the newspapermen we know" Maudie always had a weakness for members of the fourth estate because of papa who had made her married life @ three ring circus with his strange assort- ment of reporter friends. And as though that hadn't been enough, the boys, Tom and Bill, had also brought home plenty of their fel- low workers while they were still keeping crazy hours as leg men in Che city room.
 But she was right in saying that Tod Palmer wasn't like the news papermen we knew. He was young, about 25, with nice wavy brown hair and steady brown eyes that were serious in his tanned, angular jawcd face. Maudie al- SeGdy had done most of the inter Vaawing, I was happy to learn She MTOrmed me that Tod--for he was ano type of youth one could call Hy his first name immediately had worked in Detroit few years before coming home to edit the little weekly paper his father had left him as the result Of Q life's work. Todd was the sort to fit into Q little community, too. He was patient, kind, tolerant, but for all that direct and a thorough sort of young man.
 Apparently he hadn't had much opportunity to question Maudie about last night, and 50 I headed her of when she indicated she was going to make purely personal ob- Servations.
 "Neither of Us has much to tell" I insisted. we don't know why how or by whom the man was Killed and that's what makes the stogy."
 ae agreed. "Weli have to walt for the inquest for light on those matters"
 "Hut," said Maudie, T should think if you snooped about a bit you could find what people have motives, and what those people were doing last night. I'm suRc that's what I'd do--"
 "But you've no part in this pie ture," I reminded her grimly. Be- fore she could do more than give
