salada orange pekoe is a blend of fresh young leaves orange pekoe tka faresh from the gardens the tule marsh murder story of a missing actress and the tax 1ng of wits to explain her fate by nancy barr mav1ty synopsis sheila ostiay formerly a popular actress and now the wife of the young multimillionaire don ellsworth disap pears leaving no trace behind her don visits dr cavanaugh the famous crim inologist and confesses that his married jlfe has been very unhappy dr cavan- augh agrees to investigate the case ieter piper reporter of the herald is went to cover the case ho goes to dr avannughs home lly accident he meets the doctors adopted daughter a beauti ful young woman peter learn that she in inter- ly interested in the ellsworth case chapter vi peter piper had all the normal sus ceptibility of a young man to the charm of a pretty girl the difference between him and the usual young man was that he had learned to gauge its effect discount it and lay it neatly on one side where it would not interfere with his judgment the life of a re porter early torches tho lesson that women even young and pretty wo men are human beings peter had looked into more than one pair of wide and innocent eyes bad listened to more than one sweet and persuasive voice had responded amiably to more than one appealing smile and had discover ed ihat all these attractions might net prevent their possessor from pass- ig bad cheques or engaging in the art of blackmail experience tends to dis sipate the rosy and distorting mist in which one sex views the other but the reporter quaffs strong and numer ous draughts of experience beyond the limits of lis personal affairs if he cannot carry that brew with a clear head he is soon advised to seek a more congenial career in which he will be the only loser if his sympa thies run counter to the facts peters head was very clear indeed he was aware of tho faint tingling exhilaration of following a lead which had turned in an unexpected direction the fact that barbara was very attractive to look upon enhanced her newspaper value it did not in the least befuddle peters faculties he was capable of proceeding precisely as if she were an angular spinster of all too certain years which may be lack of chivalry or its finedrawn fur thest developments as he glanced sioewise at barbaras averted profile and noted the firm curve of her chin and the breadth of brow delying the childishness of her short titlted nose and delicate coloring he paid her the unspoken compliment of not under estimating her intelligence she was for the moment at least his antagon ist and experience had taken out of him any masculine conceit that being a woman she was therefore too help less a foeman to be worthy of his steel barbara showed that she deserved the compliment by sitting quite still and silent in her corner of the coupe what i really came for peter ob served conversationally was to see if you wouldnt help me by using your influence to get me an interview with your father you said you came on the ells worth case barbara fookhim up quickly her hands lay quiet in her lap but there was a tense watchful ness in the poise of her small alert figure the years had dropped from her dropped like pebbles hung sound lessly from a cliff edge into the rei she was onco again the orphan asylum child stamped by the hard unremit ting effort to hold her own to clutch bit by bit at fragmetary advantage in that regimen so inimical to the npirit of childhood so i did peter assented the office sent me out to get an interview with dr cavnnaugh on the case his views on the psychology of runaway wives with sidelights on husbands from whom wives disappear some thing liko that my father doesnt sec interview ers surely you knew barbara faced him now once again the self- possessed young woman of wealth and position her polite remote voice was calculated to put a presumptuous re porter in his place but peter was not to bo intimidated by a society manner yotro ever so much more like alico in wonderland than lady clara vcrc do vere really he said with n disarming smile look here i hoped issue no 26 31 youd help a follow outr its my job you know i came because i was sent but since i was sent ive got to ucc every effort to get what i was sent for thats reasonable isnt it yees barbara admitted thats your point of view but im much more likely to take my fathers theres a little thing like loyalty yon know you play on my sympathies to get me to persuade father as a favor to do something he wouldnt do other wise well supposing that i could i wont the set of barbaras chin was very firm indeed not even to help out don ells- vorth what do you mean barbaras voice was little more than a gasp you and mr ellsworth were pri vately engaged to be married before he married miss oshay peter calm ly asserted how did you know the words came out before she could stop there she bit her lip and a slow flush mounted to her forehead and drained away again look here peter said kindly 1 havent any ill motive against any of you im quite willing to be frank i siniply guessed it whatever don ellsworth does has a way of getting into the papers and one of the things that got in by way of society gossip from our del monto correspondent was that you and he were seen to gether a great deal just prior to his sudden marriage ive the clipping here but you neednt mind the ad mission is certainly nothing again you but what does it matter why do you want to know you surely dont mean that youre going to drag that in i was a fool to let you trick me like that barbaras voice was bitter with accusation of both herself and him it matters just this much peter said steadily theres more in this ellsworth business than meets the eye though goodness knows its been meeting the eye plenty these last few days suppose that young ellsworth had a reason for wishing his wife out of the way suppose that you were the reason gracious you jo leap to melo drama barbaras smile flashed out a moment and was gone if every married somebody else than the first girl whose name the gossips connected with his changed his mind and mur dered his wife this world would be an even more jolly place for the news papers than it is peters eyebrows rose murder he murmured gently so far as i know nobody has mentioned that the ellsworth case involves a murder he saw barbaras teeth catch her lower lip then as if warned againil allowing her ftaturcs to betray her sho lelcased it and turned to him a composed and iscrutible face youb own phrase i believe was that mr ellsworth might wish his wife cut of tho wiy putting some one out of the way is a familiar idiom isnt it pardon mo if i misinterpret ed your meaning peters eyes beamed upon her with frank admiration ho could discount personal attraction but he knew bet ter than to discount quickness of wit peter disliked fools even when they made his own task more simple you reserve all your naps for your sleeping hours dont you ho com mented barbara ignored the tribute i might remind you that your in spired flight of imagination has no string tied to it holding it down to mere evidence you must know that you cant print any such insinuation mr ellsworth would be after you for libel in no time i knew you were a bright girll peters gray eyes shone with enthusi asm i didnt suppose society buds had a chance to accumulate that much common sense the point is its a chapter vii barbara pondered peters last state ment with its sudden shift of ground no she said finally i dont see what interviewing my father can pos sibly have to do with it you thought my hypothesis flighty i j and libellous and a few little things i like that not a nice hypothesis at all i well im not wedded to it only im addicted to theories i really cant live comfortably without one your father might present me with a pleas ing substitute devoid of dynamite even if he doesnt hes always good copy he would distract my attetmon from these imaginative flights this sounds like a novel iort of blackmail barbaras face was white but her voice was cool not for nothing had she spent the first four- j teen years of her life on the defensive against the world naturally i dont care to have tho fact that mr ells- i worth and i werj once very good i friends dragged into print in connec- tion will a sensational ntory i should oislike it extremely the rest of your flight into the blue is sheer piffle and i you know it her voice vibrated in a quick gust of anger but under thrt burst of indignatio peter listened f r tho note of anxiety you wouldnt daro print a word of it youre trying to frighten me with bogies i used to cry all alone in the dark because i knew there was a black leopard crouched in the corner of the room where the broom and dustpan stood in the day time nobody ever bothered to come and console me well it was good training i had to learn to meet and know my bogies alone and in the enrk and to conquer them so you
