SYNOPSIS

"Aggie" is the familiar name for
DR.. Agamemnon Telemachus Plum,
"a. professor of anthropology and
4 bachelor, whose Aunt Sarah, a
marital matchmaker. has dra-
gooned him into coming with her
to Rainbow Lodge, the family
summer home at Indian Stones. En-
route she promoted the charms of
Beth Calder. Upon arrival, Aggie
found personal card: Henry II.
Bogarty, impaled by a hunting
knife on the front door frame. A
telegram, signed Hank" an
nounced his coming "for a new
grubstake"; it was received at the
lodge earlier that day. He was an
old friend of Sarah. Jim" Calder.
a broker, called on Sarah. After a
brief clash with Aggie, he left. Old
John, the family butler. told Aggie
that Calder had lost lots of money
for Indian Stones investors. The
knife, left on the porch rail. is
missing. Late that night, Aunt
Sarah comes to Aggie's room, OBJ
viously i'll, and he motored to DR..
George G. Davis at Medicine
Lodge, nearby. The doctot's daugh-
ter, alluring Danielle, answered his
knocks with lighted candles, ex-
planning that the power system is
out of order. She escorted Aggie
to the garage where her father was
working in his Photographic dark
room. DR.. Davis returned with
Aggie. While the former was ex-
amining Sarah, Aggie from the
porch saw dog or fox. DR.. Davis
announced that Sarah must be
quarantined because of the mumps.
Next morning, his aunt tells Aggie
that Calder's son, Bill (whose mar
rage to Martha Drayton was one
of Sarah''s matches) seems unduly
interested in Danielle Davis; and
she asks him to keep tabs on them,
She also reports that Jim Calder
did not return hcme last night. Ag-
gle is questioning his aunt.
CHAPTER NINE
Look, Sarah. Have you got any
reason to believe that Mr.. Bogarty
would do harm to anybody? Or that
the unpleasant Mr.. Calder - my
prospective father-in-law - would
snatch up a sheath knife and dis
appear with it, after-say-poking
it into somebody? II you have, |
think you ought to tell me-"
Sarah considered. mo"
IL can bank on that?"
"Well-plenty of people hated
Jim. Even old John. Jim robbed
him-virtually-and poor old John
thinks | don't know it. There's a
good deal of unforgotten injury
and unrequited hate in every place
that has been established for gen
erations, and is as closely knit and
as self-centered. But there's nc
definite reason - no." Aggie haC
risen. Where are you going?"
"Out," he said. "As a matter OF
principle, | refrain from applying
my undoubtedly immense analytical
power to the problem Of love tri-
angles. Danielle versus Martha does
not interest me. don't know what
Martha is like, but I'd say, offhand,
that this Bill was fool not to have
married Danielle, If he ever had the
chance. 1t would have been excit-
ing. But will saunter around until
can reduce your worries about Mr..
Bogarty, the missing Westerner,

Murray told the Senate that
his bill was patterned after the

fight, though it has wide sup

Congress Is
Asked

WASHINGTON, Feb. II -
IPA) - International cartels
have repeatedly obstructed the
nations war effort, according 10
the Justice Dept. Cartels are the
most potent influence to force
small business out of existence
and set prices unreasonably
high for both the government
and private consumers, accord
ing to Henry Wallace and other
government officials.
Nevertheless, Congress is now
being asked by the Natl. Foreign
Trade Council to legalize car
tells and keep the international
agreements secret from the pub
lie.
A resolution passed by the
Councils board of directors and
being sent to Congressman pro-
poses that cartel contracts be
filed with the State Dept. which
could disapprove providing it
could be shown that the agree
ments were in restraint of U. S.
trade.
If the State Dept. found, after
a contract was in operation, that
it restrained trade the cartel
would be given three months
to comply. However, antitrust
action could be taken not on the
cartel's violation of the law
prior to the three months proba-
ton but only during that period.
The resolution declared that
such agreements should be re-
garded as confidential, access
ible only to interested govern
ment agencies"
