premises. She reports her findings
to Ted.
INOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER 15
SO NOW IT was Vitelli, ugly,
leering broken-nosed Gus Vitelli.
Sally could well believe that he had
murdered John Keinble Proctor—if
the millionaire’s death really had
been something more sinister than
suicide. And she had been unable to
believe in her heart that Fred Proc
tor could bavo killed his uncle. Fred
proctor wii j t. hard man. yes. some
what mystei kais, something of a
rake maybe, but he was too charm
ing. too suave. Sally was sure, to drill
his crusty old uncle between the
..yes with a .38 Allowing even that
r.e might be capable ot committing a
murder, he certainly would employ
more subtle means, she thought.
And she was glad. A devil perhaps,
but a charming one.
•‘But Sally,” Ted insisted. "I can’t
let you stay in that house. There’s
something wrong there, whatever it
is, and you’re going to be mixed up
in it, first thing you know’. That
man in your room—”
“You said you had a hunch—”
"I know I did,” he agreed, “but
it’s just a hunch so far. And that
doesn’t make it any safer for you.
Sally, you’ve got to get out of there.”
There was a set to Sally’s jaw as
she tilted her small face Upward.
“Well. I’m not going to." she de
clared. “I’m going to see what comes
of all this if I have to sleep in a suit
of armor with a machine gun on
the foot of my bed."
Ted shrugged. "I’m sorry," he
said quietly. “After all, you’re your
own boss." He turned away.
“But. Ted.” Sally insisted. "Don’t
rfe angry about it.”
“I'm not angry, Sally. I just
thought we were going to work to
gether and that you’d take my ad
vice.’’ He came back to the car and
took her hand. “Listen, you little
ait-wit." he said, “if anything hap
pened to you, I don’t know what I’d
•o.”
“You’re an old darling."
“All right. I’m an old darling.
Only you worry me. And I just can’t
help it. So if you insist on risking
your neck, just keep your eyes on
that old gargoyle, Vitelli.”
“I will, Ted. You watch me. Lit
tle 8. S. Van Dine Holmes herself.”
Her smile gave way to an expression
ot thoughtfulness. “Do you know.”

I hope n«M_ I'd hate to come
across one in the dark.”
, “We’ve got do get one.”

I don’t see why anybody there should
f want to keep one."
1 "If we can't find one. we’ll take
> one! We can sneak up on him
, somehow with a little camera and
■ shoot one while he’s asleep if we
I have to.”
“It won’t be as easy as it sounds,”
i Sally said.
- . “That’s all right. 1 haven’t frit
l tered half a life in the newspaper
• business for nothing. I’ll mug that
t guy if it’s the last thing 1 do.”
i "But be careful, Ted.”
’ Ted smiled at Sally and squinted
. an eye. “Aha,” he said, “the tables
, are turned. Be careful says you.”
He bowed deeply. “Mademoiselle, I
i am flattered, deeply flattered.”
’ That night she slipped out quite
t easily. Fred Proctor had not re-
> turned. At first she was worried,
t but no one else about the place
seemed to be. Night prowlers,
threatening callers, long and unex
t plained absences seemed to be part
t of the accepted routine in the villa
. by the ocean.
’ Ted was waiting on a bench at the
s north end of the long cement prom
. enade built upon a seawall by the
- beach, just north of the big fishing
3 pier.
t His first words were, “I’ve got it,
i baby!”
Sally stared l at him.
j "The picture,” he explained, as he
r got into the car. "Old Gargoyle’s
photo.”
t “Why—where did you get one so
soon?”
1 "Another Chandler hunch, Sally.
’ I figured the paper might have one
' for some reason and went over and
1 asked them. Sure enough. Not so
5 good, but a picture nevertheless. He
■ and old man Proctor together with
1 a big tarpon. Lucky for me they
used to go fishing together.”
“Let’s see it. I’ll bet the fish looks
' tame next to him."
r “It’s on its way north already, by
i air mail. I ought to get a wire in
a couple of days.”
They drove north on the hard
’ packed beach, toward Ormond. Sally
1 drove slowly and after a while
’ turned the car toward the ocean.

scoppea ana snut off the motor and
the lights.
“Now. look around.” she sain
“wouldn’t you think you were at
some romantic spot on the coast of
Spain or Africa maybe?”
Behind them lose the exotic outline
of a hotel; on either side stretched
the beach fading mto darkness;
ahead lay the eternally restless At
lantic. V
"Gee, it’s great. Sally.” he said
softly, moving closer toward her in
S, e J° W fr ° nt seat of the roadster.
When you look around and hear
the old surf and take a good deep
breath of this air you forget vou re
just a human being, don’t you?"
Sally nodded.
“It doesn’t seem possible that
were down here in Florida on our
nerve,” she said.
“No. nor that one of these days
we’re likely to get an ear shot off
from behind a tree, either?” Ted
sighed heavily.
“What’s the matter?" Sally asked.
’Everything. It’s so mixed up, so
darned impossible.”
“What is. Ted?”
“Everything. Meaning—you. and
me. and the mess we’re getting our
selves into. Just think. Sally; I only
met you about a week ago and now
look at us. At first 1 was afraid I’d
lose you in 24 hours and never see
Jou again. Now the time is going
by and we're on the same ranch and
yet we’re farther apart than at
first ”
“We meet nights, though, don’t
we ?”
“Sure, but that isn’t enough."
“What else could we do?”
“It isn’t just the meeting, Sally.
It s more than that. We can get by
with pretending not to know each
other and still nieeii. occasionally for
a little talk like this, but it’s more
still. I have a feeling that the far
ther we get into this mess, the far
ther we’re forced apart. What I
mean is that I’m not making any
real money, just sleuthing this way
on a crack-brained hunch to turn
up a good newspaper story. What’s
another newspaper story? I’m not
even working for a paper now, yet
I go ahead and get you farther into
the soup and me, too, just on the
bare possibility of cracking a sensa
tional yarn. Smear streamers all
over the country and what have you
got? Compared to what you might
have, I mean.”
"Why, you’ve got a lot.”
“I suppose. What I'm trying to
tell you is that I’m afraid I’m head
over-heels in love again and can’t
do anything about it because of the
circumstances."
Sally felt tremendously sorry for
Ted at that moment. And she knew
that she liked him more than ever.
She looked up at him. Before either
of them realized it, they were close
together, her head pressed against
his shoulder. Suddenly Ted straight
ened up. “Wouldn’t it?” he said.
“Why—what?” Sally asked, star
tled.
“The tide would have to come in.
We’ve got to get off the beach or
we’ll be stuck here for the night with
water up to our fenders.”
Sally started the car and drove up
the approach to the street and over,
west, to the road that ran along the
river. Within a few minutes they
were back in Daytona Beach. Sally
dropped Ted on the dark street
around the corner from his hotel.
“Goodnight, Sally.” he mumbled,
pressing her hand. And he was
gone. Sally felt a strange mixture
of stimulation, bewilderment, happi
ness and poignant regret, as sba
started back across the river.
