CHAPTER XXXI GUY AGAIN. APHNE droned on about her plans for the honeymoon, “I know the man who runs the place and he told me thai there are wonderful climbs, and I thought we'd picnic and Alison and I could explore them while you played with your plants, Bob.” “I'm not sure that Il come,” ert winked at his daughter. haven't said ‘thank you' yet!” “I've done something much better,” retorted Daphne. “I've made you four whole pounds of those special little nutty chocolates you love!” “Ah!” Robert was rather overact- ing his part, rubbing his hlnds to- gether, smiling at Alison. “I tell you Daphne was arch now. “Wait!” She something to write home about!” “You're not going to get one yet!” Daphne was arch now. “Wait!” she, turned to Alison. “One can't get de- cent chocolates out in Spain, off the beaten track. Do tell me, what kind do you like best? I must make you some. Or do you love nuts, t00?” “She loves creams,” put in Rob- ert. “Then Tl make a whole box of creams specially for her,” declared Daphne affectionately, a present.” Alison had an odd ses nlon of suf- focation, as if the too apparent and transparent efforts to placate and in- clude her were huge, soft eiderdowns which were being pushed down on her until she could hardly breathe. She made an attempt to smile and speak lightly. “It's T who must think of presents. I must think of one to give you, Mrs. Sumers—" ‘Daphne please!” “Sorry, Daphne. L\ke’ “I'm sure I should love a'\\thfing\ you chose” She got up, held out|oa her arm, linked it in the girl's and drew her out of the dining room. “You've your father's taste, my dear, | which is wonderful. Look what he gave me today—these lovely pearl ear- rings!” “They are awfully pretty!” tried hard to reciprocate the warmth the elder woman showed, but the touch on her arm gave her a physical repulsion that she had never felt with any one else, “As if she wes a snake,” thought Alison. Entering the library, she drew away as she said, “I'm afraid I couldn’t afford anything as beautiful as that.” Daphne broke into a ringing peal of laughter. “Afford! You dear, innocent child! Don't you know that with your ex- pectations you could get credit in any shop in London?” “No. I never run bills.” “Why should you?” Daphne made that sound mocking. “My dear, how Rob- “You What would you I wish that we were all like you!” | ___ Alison turned away.

Ali-‘ son held it rather high to hide her flushed cheeks as she pretended to read the news. But there were hot | tears,in her eyes which made the let- ters ‘dance about and she had to blink twice to drive them back. Suddenly the headlines took shape and meaning, driving all the anger from Alison's head, all the color from | her cheeks. “Empty House Murder,” heading. Murder! For a moment she turned cold. So tragedy,had been brewing after all in that did, eerie house! It had not all been fancy! Her eyes ran down, scanning, skipping the print anxiously. “Mrs. Grey, a pretty woman about 30, said, ‘It was a dreadful experi- ence. I went down to get the cellar open for the man delivering coal. I didn't see the body at first, the cel- lars are so dark, and it was lying right up at the far end, in the recess under | the stairs. | “‘At first I thought the last ten- ant had left some clothes behind and | then I saw what it was! ““I screamed so my husband came running. I don’t think I shall ever ran the QTEAV[SHIPS The girl | The only thing | to do was to pretend not to understand, | forget, it was so terrible—the blood and that awful, gray, hairless face like a skull and the hands all stiff and without nails!’ “Although the police have not iden- tified the body, they have a clue and they are anxious to interview the own- | er of a dark blue two-seater car which was parked up on the downs above the house throughout the night of the 25th. The owner of this car, or any one able to give any informa- tion, is requested to communicate—" The paper slid from Alison's hands onto the floor. A dark blue two-seater. Guy's car——? Parked all through that night, the night that they had met! Then he had lied about it being in Warley! And the gray-faced man whom she had seen was lying dead. Yet Guy had told her—told her distinctly—that he had seen nothing. A trickle like icy water ran down Alison’s spine. What had really happened in that lonely house while she lay sleeping upstairs? Had that gray-faced creature which 93T—TO FORTLAND E DBTB- ST oTIEs.

For one moment the wild thought assailed her; but ghosts are mere unsubstantial wraiths, if they exist at all, and it had taken all her bodily strength to hold the door against the thing outside. Then he was alive that night; had died, been killed. She had a sense of gullt as she wondered whether after all she had done wrong. Per- haps the man had not meant to threaten her, had come upstairs ask- ing for help! Perhaps he had been running away in fear—if she had let him in, he might be alive now!
