CHAPTER XXVIIL LOVE. . HAT does it matter what. < é¢ she says?” Daphne 3 asked, softly. “You don't | myself believe her, do you?” Both arms locked round his neck, she smiled up at him wist- fully. » “Believe that you're marrying me for my money?” Robert laughed. “No, 1 don't! Apart from anything else, I haven't got any of my own, have I?” Daphne slid from his arms and patted down his hair. She said softly, “It was rather silly of her, wasn't it? But I don’t suppose she realizes, Bob, that all the money 1s tied up on her and that you can’t leave me a thing. Not that I want you to, my dear. I'm not as—mer- cenary as all that.” “You mercenary!” he laughed again, tweaked her ear. “You haven't even got a business head, have you? Imag- ining that your account was in credit when it was overdrawn! By the way, you paid that check in?” “Yes. The bank manager nearly had a fit when I explained how I'd come to give the post-dated one. He said I'd better get you to make ours a joint account, so that you could keep an eye on me.” Daphne gave a gurgling laugh at the remembrance. “He’s such a nice man. He was quite fatherly! Patting my arm and want- ing to know what I'd done about set- tlements and whether you'd insured your life—I had quite a lot of trouble to get away.” “Oh, by the way, about insuring— I've been thinking. It might be the best plan if I did insure my life in your favor. I've been thinking over what you said last night, and that is the simplest way,” said Robert. “My dear, you misunderstood me.” Daphne was full of tender concern. “I only said that I knew how difficult it was to keep money put aside. That something turns up, generally, and one leaves it, that's all.” “That’s just it. If I insure you, you are provided for, whatever happens.” “Don’t! When you talk like that you make me miserable.” She clung to him suddenly, buried her head in his shoulder, rubbing her cheek against him. “I'll insure for $10,000 tomorrow and ‘we won’t talk about it again,” he prom- ised. “It makes me miserable when I think that I might leave you again— Ppenniless.” “Please!” she implored, and clapped both hands over her ears, “don't say such things!” “I won't, then,” Robert laughed. *I'll just do it and say nothing. but, you know, one of us must be practical! I'm only thinking of you.” She kissed him swiftly, very ar- dently. “I know you are. I'm a little owl, aren’t I? But you'll have to be wise for both of us, that's all.” She cud- dled close into his arms. “You know, Bob, youre marrying an idiot when Evnvnonv wants pics) tures of you when you. graduate, because, next to your marriage, it's the big- gest event in your life.

What's up?” He looked startled, naturally. “Don't talk to me for a minute and drive like smoke,” she begged. “I'm almost speechless with rage, that’s all.” “All right. But just look at this.” He dropped an early News into her lap-and obeyed her order almost too literally. The car jumped forward, shaved the corner out into Constitu- tion Hill, took the Buckingham Palace road bend on two wheels and went up into the park at a pace which de- fied all regulations. They missed a shocked Rolls by mere inches as they did the whirll- gig around the statue of the old Queen and touched 60 in the Mall. But Alison, oblivious of the risks which they ran, sat pallid, staring at the paper on her knee. Only a paragraph wedged in be- tween the victory of the Arsenal and a boxer’s wedding plans; a paragraph with the heading in thick black print: “Body in an Empty House.” Below: “New tenants, breaking into a locked cellar in the Croft House, Warley, Sus- sex, today found the body of a man :1::0 had evidently been dead some e. “The police, called in at once, are still examining the premises, and can make no statement, but it appears that the body must have lain there at least four days.
