is unpleasant. But at least it IS the
truth, and if you know the truth,

decision with durability Pat,
this is surgery. Shall opsrate?"
Patty sat up perfectly straight,
her hands clasped about her glass.
Go ahead >. Doctor"
Cart took a long swallow, and
nodded.
Mr.. Queen sighed. "Do you re.
call, Pat, telling me in the hospital
about the time l came into Nora's
house-last Hallowe'en-and found
you and Nora transferring books
from the living room to Jim's new
study upstairs?"
Pat nodded.
"And what did you tell me? That
the books you and Nora were lug
cling upstairs had just been re-
moved from a nailed Dor. That
you'd gone down into the cellar just
a few minutes before l dropped in,
seen the box of books down there
all nailed up, exactly as Ed Hotch-
kiss had left it when he cabbed it
from the station weeks and weeks
before seen the Dor intact and
opened IL yourself"
"A box Of books?" muttered Car
ter.
''That box of books, Cart, had
been part of Jim's luggage which
he'd shipped from New York TO
Wrightsville when he came here to
make up with Nora. He'd checked
it at the Wrightsville station, Cart.
IL was at the station all the time
Jim and Nora were away on their
honeymoon; it was brought to the
new house only on their return,
stored down in the cellar, and on
Halloween Pat found that box still
intact, still nailed up. That was the
fact / hadn't known-the kernel
fact, the acorn fact, that told me
the truth"
"But howl" asked Pat.
you'll see in a moment. All the
time, I'd assumed that the books
saw you and Nora handling were
merely being transferred from the
living-room bookshelves to Jim's
new study upstairs. thought they
were house books, books of Jim's
and Nora's that had been in the
house for some time. 1t was a nat
ural assumption saw no box on
the living-room floor, no nails"
I'D emptied the box and taken
the box, nails, and tools down TO the
cellar Just before you came in"

Carter Bradford.

mot only that, but II was from
between two pages Of that volume
that the three letters fell out"
This time Carter said nothing.
And Pat was looking at Ellery with
deep quotation marks between her
eyebrows.
"Now, since the box had been
nailed up in New York and sent TO
General Delivery, Wrightsville,
where it was held, and the toxi-
cology book with the letters in it
was found by Us directly after the
box was unpacked-the letters fell
out as Nora dropped an arnful Of
books quite by accident--then the
conclusion is absolutely inescap-
able: Jim could not possibly haze
t0ritten those three letters in
Wri0ktsviLle. And when I saw that
l saw the whole thing.
1.-THE letters must have been writ
ten by Jim before he returned to
Wrightsville to ask Nora for the
second time to marry him, before
he knew that Nora would accept
him after his desertion of her and
his three-year absence"
EYES," mumbled Carter Brad
ford.
"But don't you see?" cried Ellery.
How can we now state with such
fatuous certainty that the sickness
and death Jim predicted for his
wife in those three letters referred
to Nora? True, Nora was Jim's
wife when the letters were found,
but she Wds NOT his Wife, nor
could Jim haze knotOn she would
BE his wife, Vhen he originally
wrote them"
He paused and, even though It
was cool in Gus Olesen's taproom,
he dried his face with a handker-
chief.
Pat gasped: "But Ellery, if those
three letters didn't refer to Nora,
then the whole thing"
"Let me tell it my way" said
Mr.. Queen. "Once doubt is raised
that the wife mentioned in the
three letters was Nora, then two
facts that before seemed irrelevant
simply shout to be noticed, One Ia
that the letters bore incomplete
dates. That is, they marked the
month, and the day of the month,
but not the year.
"And the second fact, of course,
was that not once did any Of the
letters refer to the name Nora; the
references were consistently TO my
wife
"If Jim wrote those letters in
New York-before his marriage to
Nora, before he even knew Nora
would marry him-then Jim could
not have been writing about Nord's
illness or Nord's death. And if we
can't believe this-an assumption
we all took for granted from the
beginning Of the case-then the
whole structure, which postulated
Nora as Jim's intended poison vic
tim, collapses.
"I'm confused" moaned Patty.
"You mean"
II mean" said Mr.. Queen, "that
Nora was never threatened, Nora
was never in danger Nora Wds
never meant TO be murdered"
Pat shook her head violently.
But that opens up a whole new
field of speeulationl" exclaimed
Carter. "If Nora wasn't meant 10
be murdered-ever, at all"
what are the facts?" argued
Ellery. "a woman did die New
Years Eve: Rosemary Haight-
Now that we know Nora Vasn't the
intended victim, surely il follows
that Rosemary did NOT die by ae-
cident-thdt Rosemary t0ds meant
to be murdered"

"Oh, grandl Ellery, you never

"That," said Mr.. Queen, ais one

"What do you mean?"
"The end" he grinned. Owe

lery walked her right up to the table
where Carter Bradford sat waiting,
and said: "Here she is, Bradford
COD"
"Pat," beamed Cart, his palms
fat on the table.
"Cart!" cried Pat
While Ellery nodded to Proprie-
tor Olesen and gave orders for re-
freshments, things were happening
at the table; so that when he turned
back there was Pat, seated, and
Carter seated, and they were glar-
ing at each other across the table.
- "Ellery." Pats eyes were trou-
bled. "You tricked me into coming
here with you"
81 wasn't sure you'd come, un-
/, tricked," murmured Mr.. Queen.
81 asked Queen to come back 10

hoarsely. "He said he'd-Pat I've
tried to see you, I've tried to make
YOU understand that we can wipe
the past out, that I'm in love with
YOU and always was and always
will be, and that l want TO marry
you more than anything in the
world"
LETS not discuss that any
more" frowned Pat. She began
making pleats in the skirt of the
tablecloth.
Carter seized tall glass Gus set
down before him; and Pat did, too,
with a sort OF gratitude for the
diversion; and they sat in silence
for a while, drinking and not look
ing at each other.
"Pat," said Mr.. Queen, 81 came
back here today to tell you and
Carter who was really responsible
for the crimes Jim Haight was
charged with"
"oh," said Patty, and she sucked
in her breath.
Remember, you told re some
thing in the hospital waiting room
the day Nora died-one little acorn
fact-and it grew into a tall tree
In my mind"
Pat whispered: "Then IL wasn't
Jim after all"
sThat's right" said Enery gen.
