A wiive of scarlet flamed In her thin face. “Oh, hut —oh. how " she fal tered. then stopped, biting her Up. “He got the idea partly from Clarldge’s very sudden gallantry ■" Naylor’s Up curled, “partly from the fact that on hts return be seemed more In your pocket than ever." The barrister's cold, clever eyas, with their finely cut lids, looked once at •later and sister’s fiance—for Claridge and she had become engaged the evening before—and said nothing. Alysla looked genuinely shocked and humiliated. “As a matter of fact. Miss Dundas had no Idea of what he was talking." Naylor went on. “She scouted the Idea. And on that. Tait hurried away. Now you see why I didn’t mention It to the police? It Is of no use whatever." “Oh. none! None!" came hurried ly from Alysla and from Claridge in unison. “And It would look—odd," Claud went on slowly, “very odd. For. of course, we none of us must forget that as immediate beneficiaries under John’s will, and probable beneficiaries under Aunt Norah's will—we’re all Just a bit suspect. Distinctly so. So how you 9ee still more reason why the unimportant talk that John had with Miss Dundas should not be mentioned At any rate by us. I can only hope the police will remain In ignorance ot it. It had nothing to do with John’s murder. “What had?” Clarldge asked sud denly, looking very closely at the •ther man. Naylor adjusted his blotting-pad more closely In line with the table edge. “Some form of spite. I fancy. Ap parently the Ricci woman has con fessed to having done it from hatred of Aunt Norah. and dared the police to prove it. Interesting problem.” “As one who has had the pleasure of seeing some of the friends that Miss Dundas keeps, I wonder.” Clarldge said meaningly. Claud gave hirn a swift inquiring look that brooked no denial. “It was at Victoria " Clarldge gave a version of what he had seen of Gillian's strange friend. “The man was inad—really mad,” Clarldge wound up. “And dangerous. There was no mistaking It.” Naylor listened with an attention so close that Clarldge was flattered. As a rule he only got half or a quar ter of an ear from the young man. “Some sad little story, probably.” Naylor said rather abruptly when the other had done, “but nothing to do with John's murder. Miss Dundas does not —like we three—benefit by that crime. No, but for Mrs. Ricci's confession, if it was a confession, I should be Inclined to see the poisoner as some one who wanted to Injure Lucy ...” he finished meditatively. “Lucy! Mrs. Burnham!"

I Horace M. Robinson I tightly. “Oh. 1 see." she mushed faintly. “Which was an additional reason for being silent.” Claud added. "Oh. very much so!” Aly9ia said fervently. She gave Clarldge a look, and the two went off together. Etta left her chair for a second to come and lay a hand on her brother’s arm. Rather unusual for Etta. She was chary of personal contacts. “Damned clever —and unkind —of you. Claud," she murmured with a half derisive, half admiring laugh. “I mean." she corrected herself swiftly, “I think it was so clever of you. From beginning to end.” And without waiting for a reply she took up her writing again. There was absolute silence In the room. Which was not the case in the lounge to which Claridge and Alysia had gone. “I don’t believe It." Claridge was saying spitefully. “Claud's In love with the girl. When I saw your cousin, he was tearing out of the house as though he’d seen the devil. Os course. If Claud chooses to give that explanation, we can’t say any thing. But it doesn’t fit the expres sion I saw on Tait’s face.” “Why didn’t you say so to Claud?” Alysia asked with her usual shrewd ness. Claridge humped his shoulders. “What can one say when the other chap takes up that kind of an atti tude? Nothing. I don’t believe it. that's all. But he’s done what he meant to do and that’s put us where we have to let it go. Oh. yes. he’s in love with that young woman all right. Hope you’ll like her as a sis ter-in-law.” he added nastily. But Alysia only laughed. “Claud is not the kind to fling h!s career away.” she said confidently. “Nor do I believe he’s struck with the Dundas girl,” and she began to talk of their own future, now so rosy. In the library Claud sat with shut eyes behind his paper. Etta, too, only made a pretense of writing. Suddenly the door opened again. Claud’s Jaw set, but it was Mrs. Burnham who slipped in, rather breathlessly. She closed the door carefully behind her before she spoke. ‘‘Will you come and talk to Miss Dundas, Claud? She’s beyond my doing anything with. I’m—well, she positively frightens me. . . .“ “Frightens you?” Naylor gave her a very intent look. “For herself only, of course.” Mrs. Burnham seemed surprised by the misunderstanding. “She wants to go away—now. At once. Secretly. She wants me to let her have the money to slip off to the continent and stay there till all this terrible affair has been cleared up. But how can I? Os course, it is ter rible for her. Oh. more than for me. my dear Claud, for he belongs to me. Anything that has happened to him is just as though it had happened to me. and one can’t run away from one’s sorrows. But he’s nothing to Gillian.

It’s not for my sake, or for the looks of it. that I want her to stay. 1 think she should stop, don’t you? Surely every one. even If like Gillian they have nothing to do with my dear John, should stay? Don’t you think so too?” She ended on a note ot surprise to Etta, aa though Claud’s silence perplexed her. But Etta said nothing. “She wants to go away, does she?* he asked heavily, in a very leva! voice. “Well, Lucy. I don’t see how I can talk to her on the matter. It lies with herself. I suppose. At any rate, not with me." He spoke in a very aloof, rigid voice. She stared at him again. "Claud, what’s the matter with you? You act as though you dis liked Gillian. I thought you " she hesitated. "What makes you act so oddly?” She finished. "Oddly?” Naylor did not seem to like the word. “I fall to see any thing odd in my not talking over her plans with Miss Dundas." “But your sac whole man ner to her since—it—it happened," she persisted, eyeing him very close ly, and yet with a frown of bewilder ment on her face. “I can't under stand It. My own belief, or rather certainty. Is that his death Is due to some dreadful accident, but even so, she had nothing to do With it. Why did you look at Gillian in the hall yesterday as though—when they brought him in—as though, well, I don’t know how to put it Into words. If it weren’t so monstrous I should say you suspected her of having— having had a hand In whatever hap pened to him. You must be reason able. Claud.” Naylor said nothing, he was look ing at the wall behind Mrs. Burn ham with a steady, unblinking stare. “I Insist on your talking to her," she continued. "You’re a barrister. You must know that I’m right, that she oughtn’t to go—that she can’t go, in fact” “I don’t feel myself in a position to decide for Miss Dundas." he said as stiffly as ever. “The responsibility: is too great.” “If only John " She put her hand to her eyes for a second. “Do you know, Claud." she said in a whis per. “that I actually ran to his li brary just now to ask him to help. I can’t make him seem dead.” “Don’t try. my dear.” he said gently. • “Don’t try. Lucy. It’s heaven’s help to those hurt, like you." $ i She nodded. ”1 don’t feel any thing here.” She touched her heart. “I'm told—the terrible fact that he's gone—that never—never—never * Her voice seemed to fail her on that, but she went on. her back to Naylor, "that I shall not see him again, but I can’t seem to realize it. It’s like knowing that some terrible disaster has happened on the other side - of the world.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Opening Game of City Lea gue Washed Out; Games Thursday, Friday Intermittent downpours washed cut the opening game of the City League between the Lions and the American egion Juniors scheduled for yesterday afternoon as a curtain raiser for the 1934 season. ; The league gets a holiday today while the Independents are enter tajrjing ■tH«' State Hospital ■ tomorrow it swingS*bajpk the■-Lihns meeting the.
