Detective and mystery stories; Stone, Fleming (Fictitious character) -- Fiction
Fibsy gave one eloquent glance at Eunice, and paused abruptly in
his speech. Every one knew--every one realized that love of Sanford
Embury’s wife was one reason, at least, for the fatal deed. Everybody
realized that Alvord Hendricks was a villain through and through--that
he had killed his friend--though not by his own hand.
Eunice never saw Hendricks again. She and Aunt Abby went away for a
year’s stay. They traveled in lovely lands, where the scenery and
climate brought rest and peace to Eunice’s troubled heart, and where
she learned, by honest effort, to control her quick temper.
And then, after two of the one-time friendly quartet had become only
a past memory, the remaining two, Eunice and Mason Elliott, found
happiness and joy.
“One of our biggest cases, F. Stone,” said Fibsy, one day,
reminiscently.
“It was, indeed, Fibs; and you did yourself proud.”
“Great old scheme! Perfect alibi--unknown human fly--bolted doors--all
the elements of a successful crime--if he hadn’t slipped up on that
Raspberry jam!”
