Ten Little Indians Eight people were invited to spend the weekend at the home of Mr. Davis on a desolate island. Now if ever there was an odd mixture of personalities t'is was it, for the guest list included a judge, a doctor, a general, a detective, a few common names, and a nursemaid. As they arrived, there was a slight storm blowing, and the mysterious host was nowhere to be seen. o The mansion was lighted by a power generator and stood alone on this island, The house had many small dark closets and very large rooms. Soon the storm had become verv intense.. Consequently, no vne could reach these people in an emergency. The study had a fire place with a mamiel over it. On the mantle were ten innocent little Indians. The maid and butler, recently employed by Mr. Davis, served lunch and ' the odd group assembled in the study. Then the butler put a record on the ' machine, as Mr. Davis instructed him to do when everyone was assembled. Butt as they heard the record call out their names one by one, there was a ghastly silence. The butler and maid, who were man and wife, had conspired to kill their elderly employer for the money in the will. General Harris had sent his wife's lover to certain deata in the battle field. The judge had sen- tenced an innocent man to the fellows. The doctor had operated on a patient. while drunk, consequently, his patient died. Jr. Henry had supposedly deserted his comrades in time oi danger. Hr. Henry is in thc imwort-export business now. Thss Wamcy was a nursemaid to the nephew of the man she loved. She supposedly let the boy drown. irs..Uacy, through her variovs love entanflements, was the cause of her husband's committing murder and dying in the electric chair. Mr. Andrews murdered his business partner. All of these people were freed by the courts, and as yet, had not received their just reward. After tic record was played, there was a mad rush of accusations. Hr. Andrews thought he needed a drink to stabilize his constitution. Soon after his dri k, he fell to the floor dead! Then others questioned each other. During the talking the detective who ha' been in his room all the time entered. He had bribed witnesses among other crimes. He noticed that one Indian had no head. Could t'ey all be dzstined for the same fate as Hr. Andrews? Where was their host? The room was full of confusion. Howev r, everyone believed that thin s would be better in the morning. But just at that time the butler came into the stud, to announce that his wife was dead! Everyone looked on the mantel and two Indians were headless! The remaining group planned to Search the house. As diss Nancy came back into the study, she found the butler dead and two Indians missing, while three were headless. Everyone heard hor screaming and came running. The General had retired to his room and had not taken part in the search. Every- one went to his room and found him dead with a headless Indian beside him. Rh , lacy was found in the closet, dead. The detective came to the conclusion, Hr. Davis was one of the guests! They all returned to the study and began a series of accusations and counter accusations. Then the liehts west out and when the candles were lighted, t'e doctor was dead and oily four Indians were left with heads. It mav'have been an optical illusion but anyway the judge and detective dashed for a boat that wasn't theirs. Mr. Henry found the detective whore his fate had been determined by a bullet. Need? so tc say, only two Indians were unbroken. 1
