™ SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1933. rs The White Seeegeoooevce ee ao: by Mignon G. Eberhart SYNOPSIS: Just as Ji Sun- dean was hoping for light upon the mystery of two murders, and two attempts upon his own life. an- other guest. in the. ecrie little French hotel tangles him worse than ever, The murders were con- seoure ich Sue Tally twas to claim her share of her fa- ther’s great fortune, Sundean and David Lorn, the detective. lieve. Now Sundean learns that it ently was Sue who puller light switch. and permitted the murderer to escape tn the dark. He meets Lorn for a tatk, : Chapter 30 SUNDEAN’S SEARCH ORN did not tura up until after lunch, and he came straiglit to me. The police, he said, were very busy, and things didn’t look any too bright for me. “There's one thing that may help you, however,” he said. “And that’s the gun. They are tracing it, and, while it’s rather slow work, still it may prove to have had no connec- tion with you.” . “May prove!” I said hotly. “I never saw that gun before. Which reminds me, I haven’t any gun wit! me, and I need one.” “Need one?" murmured Lorn, looking morosely at me. “Of course I need one,” I said im- patiently. “But I don’t plan to shoot anybody with it, so you needn't look like that. Surely you've got more than one and can loan me one.” He finally admitted that he'd got two small automatics, and. if I would do. nothing rab i it he might be’ perstiaded' to lend meé one. I was grimly amused at- his using the word rash, which seemed alto- gether too mild in connection with the violence which occasioned it. “Have the police traced the poi- son yet?” I asked. “Not that I know of,” said Lorn. “They've sent to the Paris labora- tories. I did discover, however, that no car had been found. “I had Miss Tally show me as nearly as she could the spot where she left her abductor’s car, and it's schiem the used Lovschiem’s car. But there’s no way we can make ‘sure.” “Bither that or the abductor went back to his car and drove away, and the murdered man was not her ab- feet, but his voice bad a kind of “now-you're-getting-warm” feeling about it. . “What's your opinion of his tak- ing the trouble to arrange & false alibi?” I asked. “Well,” said Lorn cautionsly, “it’s not an argument for his innocence.” “He says he wished te keep en- tirely clear of the whole affair; it seems he dreaded any connection, with it on account of his position. A mere patter of discretion, accord- ing to him.” “Oh,” said Lorn, giving me quick look. “So you taxed him with. % Do you think it was wise to let him know your suspicions?” “If he is the murderer—" inter. polated Lorn gently. “—he's apt to take the—er— swiftest way to—get what ywants.” “Yes,” sald Lorn quietly. “And having killed twice, the murderer fsn't going to be too careful not to MU again. Of course, though, I'm ff, mot saying it was the priest—or rather, if you are right sv far, man who poses as a priest: 'm not even saying that the same person “Not so much time has elapeed, Sundean. It seems long, of course, Dut it’s really been very, short.” “If Miss Tally were énly out of it—" I said thoughtfuliy.

I know her brother, and it will be a diffi- eult. thing to prove her to him if she deviates from his definite instroc- tions—he’s that kind of fellow. “But at the same time I've come to the conclusion that I was wrong; I was seeing only my side of it— | you understand, Sundean, that ina sense I'm her brother's representa- tive. I think it's,omly fair to her to urge her to go—tell’the police the whole thing, if she will. “I don’t Ifke the looks of things, Sundean. ‘I’ay doing what I.can. But I don’t like it. Not a bit.
