4 salada orange pekoe lias a most fascinating slavoas tea fresh from the gardens a-o- the tule marsh murd story of a missing actress and the taxing of wits to explain her fate by nancy bakr mav1ty ot9m9oa9t9ta0t9tt synopsis sheila oshay former popular actress now the wife of ttie multllrillllonalra don ellsworth dapptrars leaving no trace don visits dr cavanaugn the lumous criminologist and confesses his married life has teen unhappy fcler jiper reporter of the herald is sent to dr cavnnaukhs home by accident he meets the doctors adopted daughter barbara cavanauyh and learns that sho is interested in the case she confesses he was engaged to ellsworth before his marriage and persuades peter to leave without seeing dr cavanaugh on re turning to the herald oftlce peter learns that an unidentified body has been found in the tule marsh outside the city chapter ix contd between these two- the doctor whose heavy figure was unobtrusively clad in a suit tailored by brooks bro thers whoso long pale cigars were manufactured for him individually according to his own mixture and the grizzled little man in plain clothes who swung in the battered swivei chair and rolled in rapid succession a series of bull durham cigarettes there existed none of the antagonism traditional between the police and the independent expert camberwelis admiration for the pschologist was more than profession al he had not arrived at his present office on the top floor of the city hall tower without a great deal of incredu lous and scornful opposition he had been the first man on the coast to in stall and classify fingerprint records in the old days when criminals were identified or more frequently werent by description and photographs only more recently he had talked read almost eaten and slept forensi ballistics those telltale individual fingerprints left on a bullet in its passage through a gun barrel he had forced the detective bureau to take seriously the measurement of realtion lime as a test of veracity a device seized upon with glee by the public press described with inspired inac curacy and captioned the truth de tector as a result he had heard himself described as a freak and his depart ment criticized as an example of new fangled highorow college police methods but his methods had held their own in court and his practice of seeking the collaboration of dr ca- vanaugh whom some other members of the department somewhat snorting- ly referred to as a nut cracker had not only contributed to the defence of his pet theories but on more than one occasion had hold him back from serious blunders cavanaughs association with cam- bcrwcll on the other hand had led tha psychologist to turn his wideranging curiosity on the problems of personal identification it had given him what he always called a mere hobby- but it was a hobby which he put to frequent and very practical use in return he had given to the policemen struggling through the thickets of uncharted research the encourage ment of his support in some rathe- dark and stormy periods camber- wells admiration of talents different from his own was intensified by per- nonnl gratitude so far dr cavanaugh reminded him gently you have two quite iso lated facts to consider a corpse that has been found anl a woman that hasnt but it isnt a corpse camber- veils chair squeaked with accelerated tempo i only

distinct ly under the impression that a corpse was the chief occasion for this con ference it isnt as good as a corpse cam- bcrwell said as if he had ordered one and it had not come up to specifica tions not nearly so good its only remains well then suppose for the moment we postpone consideration of the corpse which isnt there and concen trate on the lady who isnt there either dr cavanaugh drew several meditative puds from his cigar before he went on every act of course is the expression of a motive and the motive behind a given act is deter mined by character temperament call it what you will conversely if you know a persons character well enough you know what motives will operate in his strongly enough to pro duce actions and what actions they are likely to produce unfortunately we dont knew mrs ellsworths char acter half well enough for such pre diction if i had known she was go ing to disappear he added whimsi cally i should have made much bet ter use of the few opportunities for observation that came my way whit little i do know complicates rather than simplifies the possibilities mis ellsworth was a far from convention al person and her acts therefore may not fall into the grooves of conven tional conduct ill say they maynt camberwel agreed with ironic fervor ive no more to go on than you have df cavanaugh went on scrutinizing the glowing tip of his cigar but ive given the ease a little thought a sort of preliminary survey ive known young don ells worth for several years and he came to me the other night to see what i could make of it i declined to take up the case professionally because i hai an idea you might call upon me its too bad i didnt know about this latest find of yours if i had id have won a nickel with myself when you called up you do think then that shes been done away with not necessarily we have here or rather we havent here a woman entirely free of one of the most pow erful restrictions on human conduct the fear of social diapproval sheila oshay made herself conspicuous in a variety of ways on two continents and however disreputable the ways were from the point of view of con ventional society she capitalized them to her advantage she made a bad reputation pay she is an exhibition ist whatever she did contributed to the gate receipts now this woman whose latest and most conspicuous act was her marriage to a multi-milloin- aire several years her junior disap- years she is excessively fond of monoy or rather of what money will buy in the way of a flaunting display of luxury that has been amply in dicated by her previous career she is also highly rexed which has like wise been sufficiently indicated it certainly has camberwel agreed again if she went away of her own free will there is the possibility that she was actuated by a strong sex impulse directed elsewhere than toward her husband i very much doubt if she ever felt any very compelling attrac tion toward a man of ellsworths i type there is also the possibility that ellsworth put the screws on fin ancially and she found that being married to a multimillionaire did not give her immediate access to all the millions to play with in either case she might have left as suddenly and as inexplicably as she did she would not be hampered you see by consid eration for don nor by the fear of publicity sho may indeed have planned the manner of her exit know ing the stir it would cause as pre liminary press agcntry for a return to the stage j but in that case in any of those cases we ought to have got soire trace of her i would not understand her re sourcefulness dr cavanaugh couri ered jn no sense of the words was sheila oshay lorn yesterday how ever there is the second possibility that she was abducted perhaps for random perhaps by a jealous former lover and there is of course the third that she was murdered so far its all speculation but this tule marsh business this tule marsh business may dced substitute a second mystery for the firsfor merely add another un related one by fhe way if it were sheila oshay it would hardly be un recognizable to soon would it or would it you havent told mo you know that part fits in all right s to time but it makes identification the very dickens of a job properly speaking the body wasnt found in the marsh at all but above it on the south slope of el cerrito hill there was a grass fire there a couple of weeks ago that burned the place over this morning a group of boys play ing indian stumbled on the body it had been burned beyond recognition it might have lain there in the tall grass for month or years except that the charred remains showed lit tle sign of exposure to the weather and this fire how did it start there you have us there was a high north wind blowing for several days about that time i remember it and anyway the weather reports bak it up under those conditions grass fires along that strip are common enough a cigarette end thrown out of an automobile a spark from a passing locomotive embers of n jungle firo made by tramps any one of a num ber of things might account for it on the othtr hand the fire came pretty pat to destroying all chance of identi fying that body yji dont quite mean that dr cavanaugh leaned back in his chair he had a way of appearing most re laxed when another man would have leaped forward in strained attention you would not have called me away from golf to attempt the impossible because youre one of the very few people who realize that the impossible is one of the things that simply isnt done to be

a thickboled widelimbed tree standing iu a naturally cleared space- in the jungle and the dancing began each morning with tho rising of tho sun i havo watched it many a time the birds were of a species called ra- giana or red bird the females ot which wero quite drab and ordinary but tho males splendid redgold crea tures long of tail and gracefully built with all manner of colors hitting and quivering about tlieir feathers first came one of tho males step ping lightly and daintily from out tho foliage near the center of the tree nod ding his pretty pointed head seeming almost now and then to bow and on reaching a cleared space on the limb stopping and giving forth a clear and rounded whistling somewhat in the manner of a man whistling to a dog there for perhaps half a minute he would stand looking this way and that patiently expectant then from the adjoining foliage would come an and answering whistle and another male would come forth and after him an other till maybe there were twenty of them gathered there on tho limb bow ing and nodding and looking this way and that and all the while there were flutters of drab gray wings and drab gray females perched themselves on twigs all about they had almost an air of humility they seemed not to know that it was for them the males wero about to dance or if they knew did not care tho dancing wiould begin quite sud denly tho birds separated strung themselves along the limb at irregular in a kind of undertone a whispered whistlo as it were and ono of them would open wide his wings and sway at first only a little then more and more till he was just a moving bit of color then one midway along the limb per haps would begin a sharp and vigor ous nodding of his head with now and then a sidewise movement and an other would execute a turning move ment slowly and with charming grace another would prance up and down lifting high his feet and now and then making a hop and still an other would mako a grand play of spreading and fluttering his wings of drawing them in and then extending them of raising them and lowering them seemingly causing the small feathers to move independently of the rest and now the gold and silver of the early morning sun would be upon them trickling through the foliage touching them here and there turn ing to shining russet the redgold of their backs and bringing from tlieir green underfeathers a play of strange light and from their black ones hints of fire like the fire of opal and from the gray drab females watching from among tho twigs would come a high twittering a kind of gossipy applause and there would be much moving from one place to another as though they sought a better spot from which to watch so for half an hour the dance would go on then would come a period ot rest when the dancers would gather in a group and renew their whispered whistling after which one or two would dance again but only halfheart edly and presently first ono and then another would fly off into the jungle a swift flash of color and the females ould follow them then the rest of the males tho dance was finished j mcl in the christian science monitor prison or hotel washbasins with hot
