Her palms were moist as she

was no personal danger to herself,
but the full import of what was

ing of evening 1t seemed to have
gathered strength. The rain, falling
through the twilight with a steady
and drumming persistence, seemed
to eflfold Thorpe Lodge like q gray
shroud cutting 1t of from the rest
of the world.
But the apparent isolation was
suddenly broken by the sound of
the telephone jangling across the
silence.
The call was for Sheriff Hazard.
He took 1t in the little telephone
room just of the library.
DIR. Morley speaking" said an
excited voice at the other end Of
the wire. 1--WE got important news
for you about Jarvis Thorpe's
death"
Speak little louder, man." said
the sheriff, II can hardly hear you."

ley's voice sounded vague and far
away. What I wanted to tell Won
is that the post mortem revealed no
trace OF poison in Jarvis Thorpe's
stomach. He died Of snake venom

went dead.
Hazard jiggled the receiver hook
up and down, but there was no
sound save dull click in the
mechanism. He swore softly under
his breath.
A Strange Parallel.
"The lines probably blown down" {"
said Mr.. Wetherfether gloomily
when the shelf informed him q
moment later Of what had hap
pened. And it's no wonder, either.
We haven't had a storm like this
in 20 years."
AS he spoke a flash of lightning
cut vivid path across the sky, and
the wind was loud IN the trees.
Sheriff Hazard went over to the
window and looked out. But In the
gathering darkness it was impos-
sible to see far through the down.

old Washington girl.
Following the plea entered by
Haywood's lawyer, John s. White,
Judge Marbury signed an order for
Haywood to be examined by a mem
Der of the State Board Of Mental
Hygiene. DR.. George H. Preston is
chairman Of the board.
Judge Marbury yesterday indi-
Gated that the trial would not be

Haywood previously had pleaded
guilty on February 2 to the counts
on which he was indicted by the

sooner We ind out exactly how the
crime was committed, the better
position Wen be In to discover who
did it."
With this point Of view Mr.. Weth-
erfether was in complete accord
He most emphatically, however,
did not think that 1t was the sher-
IFS place to drive into town.
In the first place." said Mr..
Wetherfether, these people have a
lot more respect for you than they
have for me. You're the logical one
to stay here and watch develop
ments. And In the second place
hate to say It," Mr.. Wetherfether
paused. looking somewhat dis
turbed, then he took a deep breath
and plunged ON, you know I can
handle the old bus better than you
can-and in this storm" Mr..
Wetherfether's voice trailed of des-
pairingly, for he was not used to
asserting himself.
Nevertheless, there was some force
to what Mr.. Wetherfether said. De-
spite his old-fashioned appearance,
which might have led people to
think he would be more at home
driving Victoria, he had kind of
natural instinct for handling auto
mobiles that Sheriff Hazard knew
about and respected.
The upshot Of the argument was
that 1t was Mr.. Wetherfether,
swathed in q borrowed raincoat that
was too large for him, who finally
sloshed out to the driveway, clam
bered into the coupe and chugged
away in the direction Of town.
The sheriff, meanwhile, had i'm
mediate business to attend to. Rob-
ert Jocelyn's evident disinclination
to have the sheriff read his manu-
script had aroused Hazards curl
osity. He strongly suspected that
there might be something in it re-
lating to the present crisis at Thorpe
Lodge. And he was not mistaken.
At first two or three pages, at
which Hazard had glanced cursorily
Evening star., 1942-02-18

during his interview with Jocelyn,
were merely carbons from an al
ready published novel.
But beneath them was something
which evoked an exclamation. Of
surprise from the sheriff. The title
Of Jocelyn's new mystery story was
called Bury the Bridegroom. This
was significant enough in view Of
the fact that Jarvis Thorpe's death
had followed so closely upon his
marriage. But the story itself Of
fered an even closer parallel. The
narrative was written with an acid
and ironical brillance. It dealt with
young writer whose description
Tailed almost exactly with that of
Pauline Pry, and an elderly financier
for whose portrait Jarvis Thorpe
might have sat. And just as had
happened on that Inflated day at
Thorpe Lodge, q few brief weeks
after the marriage Of those so ut
terly dissimilar people, the BRIDE

teams with tickets for sale in their

may be limited TO essential people,
he said. A copy of the telegram
was sent to the University of

One of the most worthwhile prof.
ectS in a generation is being ignor-
ed by Ell Centro'S city officials.
We're speaking of the plan to
establish a recreational center at a
downtown spot which would be ac-
cesSible to the oldest and the young
est.
When brought up at a council
meeting several weeks ago it was
brushed into the lap of the cham
Der of commerce. Buck passing has
since been going on at terrific
rate. One organization would try
to foiSt it onto another and vice
versa
Meanwhile the plan itself to eS-
tablish place for social and physi-
cal recreation has been all but bur-
led under the swamp of red tape.
Three important things have been
uncovered in all the haze of details
which has been raised by interested
or disinterested parties. They are :
l. Funds for just such a pur-
pose are still in the Golfers of the
city.
2. Suitable building space for
the establishment of the center is
available.
3. Leaders among the community
who would forward the plan if Civ
Ell little freedom of action and
spending money could easily be
found.
Bob DanSkin, former Imperial
high school athlete, looked SO good
at practice last Sunday that he
will probably be given the starting
berth on the Ell Centre baseball
team next Sunday here against
Brawley.
Danskin held down the position
between second and third last season
in winter league play with the FL
Centre Redbirds. He has lots of
natural ability and grace.
