You’re Telling Me! ♦ -41 By WILLIAM RITT Contral Press Writer Kentuckians disclaim their state is full of hill billies. However, when the federal government stores that gold hoard at Ft. Knox they’ll have to ad mit the presence of, at least, hill bil lions. Henry Ford, we read, may build a car with the motor in the rear. How ever, in this case it won’t be out of sight cut of mind. On the other hand it will sort of even up matters to have the motor as far behind as the payments on the car. A feature about the new electric razors we like is the fact that after a shave it doesn't chase us to the door offering to whiskbroom our vest and expecting a dime. The oft-prophesied Europeon war hasn’t broken out yet. Perhaps those angry statesmen won’t start fighting until they’ve counted up to a hundred —battleships. Spain doesn’t mind other nations taking over her civil war if they would only take it away. Somehow we find ourselves unable to become greatly upset over the sad fact that scientists are being denied the usual number of snow flakes to study this winter. An old-timer is a fellow who can remember when the only European news on the front pages was about the starving Armenians. Kay Francis, screen star, born at Oklahoma City, Okla., 31 years ago. HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13. 1937 WALTER S. MAST ERMA N (W) • I COPYRIGHT: RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION CHAPTER 47 BEFORE Sylvia, Selden, Reid and the children reached the gates of the drive, heavy drops were falling, and Sylvia suggested turn ing back, but Selden startled her by saying that he had ordered lunch for all at the Bull Inn, and it was better to go on. Many eyes were fixed on the party as they made their way to the inn, for the news of the disap pearance of the children had leaked out. Hucks gazed at them open-mouthed, but the presence of Selden prevented him from speak ing. He led the way into the low roofed dining room, with huge old oak beams along the ceiling, and long latticed windows. The village of Evenden was a well-known beauty spot, lying in the lovely Even valley, between two ridges, and at crossroads, and many tourists stayed for meals at the “Bull”. A maid in uniform ushered the party to their table by the window, for Selden had mere ly ordered lunch for five on the telephone. He made an excuse to slip out while the lunch was being prepared, and found Hicks busy in his large comfortable bar. “Got over your fright?” he ob served, pausing at the counter, and ordering a drink. The huge prize fighter looked sheepishly at Selden. “It’s all right to talk, Mr. Sel den, it takes a lot to frighten me” —he puffed out his great chest— “but there was something that wasn’t human there, and I bet you never found anyone in that crypt.” “You’re right there, Hucks, he had got away. He has the Abbey to himself now.” “So I heard,” Hucks said, draw ing a tankard for an importunate laborer. “Funny goings-on, I hear. The servants were round here for food—skeered right enough about what happened, and”—he dropped his voice—“l hear they’ve got that butler in chokee. Is that so?” “I believe Inspector Hutchins has arrested him,” Selden said carelessly, “but I shouldn’t say too much about it, Hucks; you know how village gossip spreads.” “Bless your soul, sir,” Hucks said with an expansive grin, “it’s been the talk in the bar all the morning. Mrs. Thornton has been here, a-telling all about it. Fancy —James! He was a deep *un, he was.” He moved off to serve a cus tomer, and Selden took himself back to the dining room. The twins had already begun, with good healthy appetites, and sitting in his place was Mrs. Thornton herself, volubly telling Sylvia her opinion of the inhab itants of the Abbey, with many blanks for the sake of the chil dren, who understood perfectly what she meant and were enjoying the scandal. She rose awkwardly at Selden’s approach. “I beg pardon, sir, I was just keeping Miss Lawrence and Mr. Reid company till you came.” She looked defiantly at Selden. “You see, my evidence would have been useful at the inquest after all, and why you stopped me from giving it ” ■ “You will be able to give it now,” he said quietly. “I am staying here for that pur pose, and that’s all that’s keeping me in this village, I can tell you.” She gave a toss of her head, and stalked away to the other end of the room decisively. “Pleasant woman,” Selden said, helping himself to some fish. “I can’t understand it,” Reid said, knitting his forehead into a frown. “While you were out, and Sylvia was taking the children’s Morocco, a New Threat to European Peace? |S||i <v / i IIILI Map shows Mediterranean “danger spots’*. Photo shows French foreign legionnaires in French Morocco— held in readiness. things off, she Duttonholed me, and had the impertinence to start asking me all about my past life and who my parents were and so on.” Selden laughed. “Just like her. No doubt she and that precious in spector have been* putting their heads together, and she is trying to find out whether you have any connection with the murder.” “I tried to snub her, but she came across when Sylvia entered, and started asking where they had been, and where we were staying.” “You didn’t tell her?” “No fear. We had had quite enough of her. I was glad when you came back.” The rain was coming down now in straight heavy lines, the steady dull rain without wind beloved by the farmer when his corn has been gathered. “We can’t go back in this,” Reid said, gazing out at the dreary prospect. “We’ll take the children to the local cinema,” Selden said. “I’ll drive you in my car and take you back to the Abbey.” An old converted barn bore the proud name of the Palace Picture House, and the twins were de lighted at this promised treat, for they had never been allowed to go inside the place. Sylvia looked doubtfully at Selden. The maid had gone and they were alone in the room. “Look here, Selden,” Reid said eagerly, “if you’d fetch your car and take us right away somewhere, I should fetl much more satisfied.” “Where?” Selden looked at him blankly. A vision of his old bed-sitting room in Pimlico rose to Reid’s mind, and he paused. Money he could provide, but how could he suggest going to some hotel or lodging with Sylvia, even in the company of the twins, and they, poor mites, had heard too much in the Abbey for their precocious minds. He remained silent, and Sylvia could only think of her peevish aunt in her shabby boarding house, and what she would say if they turned up there. “Come on, then,” Selden said cheerily. “I’ll get the car, while you fetch your things.” He was paying for the lunch, and had asked the man to fetch his car out of the garage, where he had lodged it, when Colonel Graham came through the front entrance, dripping with rain. “Hello, Selden,” he said with an uneasy smile. “So Hutchins has got the better of you, after all. I’ve just ridden from Grinfold, and been having a chat with him. He’s pretty wild with you, and I’m not surprised.” “We can’t always bring it off, Colonel,” Selden said dryly. “I hear that the children who were supposed to be missing have turned up mysteriously. That scoundrel James had something to do with that, I expect, but as long as they are safe ... I suppose you don’t happen to know where they are, Selden?” “There’s really no mystery about it. We have all had lunch to gether, and are going to the pic tures for a treat. You see, the servants at the Abbey have all left, and with Lady Severinge gone as well, there’s no one there. The place is shut up.” “They are not staying here at the inn?” Colonel Graham knit his brow and his mouth tightened to a straight line. “Oh dear no! They are going to stay at Reid’s cottage for tonight. After that we must consult the family lawyer, Livingstone, unless you can put them up until some arrangement is made.” “1 uon’t like it. That fellow Reid is not trustworthy, in my opinion, and in any case he lias hardly recovered from his illness.” “They will be all right now that you have James uncter lock and aey,” Selden. said casually. The landlord, who had been standing respectfully at the door, not liking to interrupt the conver sation, coughed, and Seluen turned, “Beg pardon, sir, but your car’s at the door and the others ar£ waiting for you.” Selden wished the Colonel good)* day and hurried out. “You will be staying here, sir, tonight?” Hucks asked. “Oh yes, keep my room for me. I shall be back presently.” Selden drove the party to the cinema, and insisted on paying tor the seats in the best part oi the poor place. To Reid the whole morning had been like some strange nightmare. * Selden’s ap pearance, and James’ arrest, the lunch, and now the presence of the detective, apparently wasting his valuable time at a second-rate pic ture hall. And Mrs. Thornton’s cross-examination had disturbed him. Had Hutchins got on his track somehow? He recalled with a feeling of dread that Selden had plainly told him that he knew something at any rate of his past life from his ravings in delirium, and perhaps someone else may also have become acquainted with it. And Sylvia? He could never ask her to join her life with hia, Even now he was living on stolen money! He saw little of the pic tures, but heard the children laugh ing wildly. They had not had much pleasure in their lives, and even Sylvia seemed to be amused. He was seated between the twins, with Sylvia on the other side, and Selden next to her on the outside. He glanced at the stern set face of the detective, and it dawned on him that even here in this place Selden thought they were not safe and had come with them for pro tection. It was still raining when they emerged into the dark street, and they waited in the doorway while Selden fetched his car, which he had parked round the corner. A man from the Bull Inn ap proached Reid and touched his cap. “I have a message, sir,” he said. “Colonel Graham requested that Miss Lawrence and the young ladies would go over to Grinfold to make some statement. I was to say that it was urgent. I have the car here, and can run theai over and bring them back.” “Grinfold!” Sylvia exclaimed. “That’s where the police station is. I suppose we shall have to go.” Selden drove up in his car, and was told by Reid. “That’s all right,” he said to the man, “I’ll drive them over my self. I want to see Inspector Hutchins.” “Very good, sir,” the man re plied. “I shan’t be sorry—it’s a dirty night for motoring.” He disappeared in his car down the road, and Selden laughed quiet* ly as he drew on his motor gloves. “Does the inspector want us to give evidence against James?” Sylvia asked with a flash of anger, Selden made no reply,, but handed Sylvia into his car, request ing her to sit between the children. Reid got up beside Selden in the front. The detective put his foot on the self-starter, and the machine purred steadily. And then, to Reid’s amazement, he felt a revolver being pressed into his hand, and Selden whispered, “Shoot at sight if I tell you—don’t ask any questions.” (To Be Continued) LEGISLATIVE CHATTEL Dally Dispatch Burcaa, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Jan. 13— Governor Clyde R. Hoey is fast becoming known as one of the most democratic (note the small “d”) of chief executives. Sun day he was seen strolling down Fay etteville street with one other com panion, no bodyguard or anything like it. Monday night he drove down from the governor’s mansion to the Sir Walter to attend the fair association banquet. Alighting from his car and entering the lobby he found the din ers had reached the song-singing stage but had not quite completed their last course, and so he just wait ed around outside the door, looking rather lonely as he stood there all by himself. Spied by a news man he laughingly raid, “I’m just waiting for them to finish eating. No use bothering them now.” When he finally entered the ban quet hall the orchestra was playing “Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag” and it was some time before he was recognized. Then the musicians swung into — not “Hail to the Chief,” but "Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here.” Senator John Sprunt Hill.of Dur ham, is generally recognized as one of the ablest legislators, but he seems to be unable to let any resolution or bill get by without saying something about it. Monday night a joint resolution, proposed in the House, to invite Gov ernor Paul V. McNutt, of Indiana, to address the legislature came up in the Senate. Senator Hill rose to in quire what the visiting executive would talk about. Nobody knew. “Well, I don’t want to oppose ex tending courtesy to the distinguished visitor, but I don’t want him wasting our time,” said the Durham solon. ! Bladen county politics is (or should it be are) usually about as hotly wag ed as possible and so when a legisla tor comes up from that section with he endorsement of every faction, he nust have “plenty on the ball.” And even U. S. Page, the “Bladen oombshell” whose battles featured the 1935 Assembly sessions has a good word to say about Lloyd S. Elkins, of Bladen boro. “There’s a fellow who came up here without a single voice raised against him,” the bombshell told news men Monday night. Incidentally the 1937 session will probably prove ire profitable, if not more pleas;. cO Mr. Page. De feated for re-ele ,n to the Senate he has been employed as a lobbyist against the child labor amendment. It is entirely evident that the fair men attending the State Fair Associa tion session here were being sweet to members of the legislative finance committees, hoping for a reduction in the tax on carnivals and fair “mid STATEMENT OF CONDITION Home Building and Loan Association Os Henderson, N.
