the rest of his breakfast aside, anc
followed. Mrs. Potter, wide-eyed al
the news, thrust the umbrella into
Henry's hands in case the rair
started again. Richard ran as far
as the gate with them, then halted
grumblingly, at his mothers call.
THAT was the coroner on the
telephone" Jones said as they hur.
ried out into the road. HE called
me before he left his office. Just
got word, he said, and was starting
for the place-half mile out on the
old tunnel road. Why the devil
don't you have car, Potter"
III It's on the old tunnel trail
we'll make almost as good time on
foot" Henry said. 1T winds into
the hills this way from the village.
Too narrow for a car. We can
make it In ten minutes IL we
hurry"
Jones was big man, but he was
no match for Henry when 1t came
TO walking. The little clerk was in
good training as a result Of his
daily hikes to and from work. The
city man had to call a halt for rest
twice as they almost dog-trotted
down the muddy road, took a side
road to the west and climbed a
path that twisted through the
lbrush-covered hills.
The young coroner, who drove
his car on a different road, had only
a quarter mile Of footwork to do,
and beat them to the scene Of the
tragedy by few minutes. They
rounded a bend and found him on
the trail ahead of them. leaning
over the crumpled form Of the little
fat man lying face down. A few
yards beyond stood a solemn-faced
young man in blue overalls and
gray work shirt.
Il didn't walk around much" the
young man was saying. II figured
you wouldn't want things messed
up"
The coroner nodded. He was ex-
aiming the wound. Never knew
what hit him.
! Another car, its siren wailing
dismally, halted on the road below.
Henry heard car doors slam. and
the voices Of men as they started
up the trail.
The coroner Strengthened up.
"oh. hello, Jones. / thought you'd
want to be among the first here.
You can see he must have been am
pushed" He looked back along the
trail. That's where the killer must
have been hidden - behind that
rock"
