house?" asked Aggie quietly.
"Spooky," Danielle answered. -.
Then, realizing she had admitted
being there, she gasped. "That's
mean! Tricky. All right. Dad is
worried about something. He won't
talk. Somebody's dead. I'm wor-
ried. This person - Bogarty - is

81 generally go alone in this
world. And / sneaked up, besides.
There was nobody in it-and there
hadn't been-forever, just about"
Aggie padded among the islands
near the beach. They could hear
voices and splashing. But they were
still out of sight and the islands
were very quiet, as was the water
between them. He was thinking
about what she had said. Up ahead,
a hundred or more yards, he saw
the bow of a rowboat. AS he took
another stroke, the boats occupant
came into view. 1t was DR.. Davis.
He was making a long, minute
search of the region opposite to
theirs. A quality of furtiveness was
so evident in the stare that Aggie
automatically stopped the motion
of his canoe with a silent backthrust
of the paddle. He expected that the
surgeon would search in the other
direction and see them, but DR..
Davis had evidently assured him
self of privacy in that quarter.
Beside the doctor, on the seat,
was a tackle box. A casting rod lay
across the boats gunwhale. He
opened the box hastily, took out a
tray, peered ahead again, and then
lifted something else. AS he did so,
Aggie saw Danielle turn along the
line of his gaze and look. She
opened her mouth. Her father lifted
the object - or objects - it looked
like two-and hefted them. He then
raised them to throw them over
board. Aggie was watching intent
ly, because he felt sure that he could
identify the things when they were
in the air. But he had no chance
Danielle saw his acute scrutiny and
overturned the canoe.
AS he felt himself arc toward the
water, Aggie kept looking at DR.
Davis. He thought - but only
thought - that the things thrown
were shoes. Then the water closed
over his head. He came up, swim
ming hard. He looked for the girl
and she rose near by. Sorry" she
said, treading water. 81 saw Dad
and lost my balance"
The surgeon, startled by the
splash, had evidently spun around
seen them go under, and manned
his oars. He coasted up to them. He
looked shaky to Aggie-but Aggie's
position in the water made accurate
observation difficult. The doctor
was certainly smiling, in any case

his oars as he went on: Haven't

rusty one. Stupidw
Aggie glanced from one TO the
other. Then he swan to the canoe
which had not been dumped. He
scrambled aboard, over the bow.
They were covering each other
nicely, he thought. 1t hadn't been
an anchor. Brown, low shoes, he
was almost certain. But, ninety
nine persons out of hundred would
have believed it had been an anchor,
after that exchange, no matter
what their first impression had
been. Quick thinking. Too quick
for comfort. Aggie said, maybe
we can persuade you to row the
derelict over to the beach, doctor?

other trial-or-if she's afraid

Danielle climbed into the canoe
