with typical Army disapproval at the Marines-Gem erals Duncan Willy tresplendent in a gorgeous new uniform trimmed with gold braidl, Francis Baker tsaid to be the Army's toughest characterl, and the Air Corps pilots, famous for their eccentric hedgehopping, Iack Barrie and Elvin Harris. Detective Ryan, following the example of his chief, was quietly questioning a group of America's best- known women-Margaret Nichols, who has just re- turned from a secret expedition to the Island of Bali, Miss Martha Pleasant, Superintendent of Nurses at New York's famed Bellevue, Miss Marjorie Thomas, 1955's blooming debutante, Margie Schmidt, America's foremost furniture designer, Ruth Kaechele, the ardent lecturer and lobbyist for women's rights, and her col- league, Nancy Ellett, national head of the League of Women Voters, American Legion Auxiliary, and Daughters of the War of 1942. Finally, giving up in disgust, Detective Ryan turned to the athletic element-that virile outdoor sportsman, Henry Koopman, who recently stated that he owes his success to early rising and punctuality, the foremost woman athlete, Norma Wetherby, who is breaking every imaginable sports record at the swank St. Astor- built Hotel, Dorothy Gray, world-famed Olympic swim- ming coach, and Dick Sayers, baseball star and win- ner of the Three Strikes Trophy for distinctive playing. Arguing loudly with two pessimistic officers who had refused to allow them to step out for a drink- of water, were Miss Betty Haynes, the Chorus Queen, and her booking agent for Ringling Bros., Iohn Bush- nell. The frustrated officers were finally forced to give up in favor of the quiet persuasion of electrical engi- neers, Fred Gygax and Iohn Nadler, the skilled tool- and-die maker, Don Morgan, and the airplane mechanic, Earl Hickman. Suddenly amid the tumult Lt. Berg raised his hand significantly to bring the group to silence. Ladies and gentlemen, he began impressively, the mystery has been solved. Silence engulfed the crowded room. Lt. Berg glanced appreciatively about before plung- ing on. The pin which was thought to belong to a member of the East High Class of '42 has been identi- . sf. ,ug K L.. fied. Questioning looks registered on the faces of the assembled crowd. ' Well, Chief, Ryan finally lresponded hopefully. l Berg, taking the long-awaitled cue, went on impor- tantly. The pin has been i entified as a souvenir from the East Greenwich Rod o on 42nd Street. Significant glances passedi through the crowd. Finally, unable to contain hirriself longer, the head of the Quiet Hour yelled, But wiho murdered her? Lt. Berg, turning slightly pirik, but keeping his dig- nity, replied coolly, We havelevery reason to believe that the butler is responsible 'for the crime. Knowing looks again circulited among the crowds, and a few daring souls even tooped to putting wag- ging fingers to their heads. Fi! ally the booking agent for Ringling Bros. voiced th thought uppermost in everyone's mind. But she ndver had a butlerl True, replied Lt. Berg calriily. Then how could a non-existent butler do it? That remains a question, 3 Berg replied. But the butler always does it in murdler stories. And besides -we're working on that angle. You've got to give us time. Silence enshrouded the rocim. Berg failed in his attempt to look belligerent arid began to fidgit ner- vously. Finally, Detective Ryan, taking pity on his superior, suggested, I guess 1we're all through with the suspects now, eh, boss? X Yes, I guess so, Berg admitted. Sorry for all the trouble, he apologized sheepfshly. The entire group gazed with steely eyes, although a few pitying souls smiled anaemically at the bewil- dered lieutenant. Finally turning as a body, the entire group filed slowly out of the apartment. As the group retreated, Lt. Berg remarked proudly to Detective Ryan, Quite a bunch, aren't they? And Detective Ryan, gazing after the retreating form of the statistic's expert from Cdtrnegie institute, sighed in agreement, Yes, sir, some class. I i 1
