SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1933. BYNULSIS: Tnreo muraers nuve shattered the peace of a amall hotel ‘in Southern France ; three murders, all unsolved, They are connected, the minds of Jim Sun- wid Lorn, with an attempt to secure the token means of which Sue Tally must tify herself to her brother Francis, and thus secure hatt her father’s huge fortune. Then, ex- pected by no one, Francis Tally ar- rives. Chapter 36 NEW COMPLICATIONS B WAS on my feet. 1 was barely conscious of Lorn standing just behind me. Sue was standing too, looking white and 4. redutous, and even her lips looked paje and stiff. Her eyes were wide and fastened on the newcomer’s face as if in frantic effort to recall it, “Francis,” she said in a whisper. He was fairly tall, moderately slender, and blond with grayish eyes. He wasn’t altogether hand- some, for his features were a little too fine for a man, and his mouth ‘was not firm. He wore gold-rimmed spectacles, which gave him a pe @antic look, and he was muffled up in coats and gloves and a woolen scart. ~ His eyes back of the spectacles were very sharp—as sharp as Grethe’s, who was watching him \ with an expression that indicated ) strongly that here was at last the mouse she'd béen waiting for. He smiled a little uneasily and said, in a rather uncertain voice: “Sue, | suppose.” She said nothing, just looked at him, and as no one else spoke he seemed to feel that his greeting was / @ bit lacking in something, for he put out his hand and smiled more biandly and said: “It’s difficult to know just how to. greet you, Sister, We ere almost fy strangers.” “Quite,” said Sue in a frozen small voice, and laid her hand’ moment- arily in his, Francis Tally was growing more at ease, He looked at me and then discovered Lorn. “Ah,” he said at once. “How do you do, Lorn?” “How do you do,” Lorn said in an unexcited way, quite as if he'd known qll along that brother Fran- cig was about to turn up. “Everything going wellt™” asked Francis Tally easily. Lorn’s eyebrows lifted a fraction of an inch, : “Not exactly well,” he said, “Still, f Miss Tally is quite site.” “This,” said Sue, “is Mr. Sun- dean.” Francis Tally looked sharply at » “Sundean? said he. “He has been very kind,” said Sue stiffly, as if words were extremely dificult, And then -Mari- aune, in the dining room, sounded | the clattering bell which. announced lunch. x | “St'slunch,” said Sue in a re Heved way. “You'll share my table—Francis?” “Good,” said Francis, also looking relieved. “I had a very early break fast. What's the trouble here, though —why all the police about the place?” | For a full moment no one spoke, ‘Then Sue said in a voice that aid not belong to her: “T'll tell you after !unch.” _ He looked puzzled and I think would have questioned further, but Grethe silkily intervened, “You'll want to wash before , smiling pleasantly yes, “I'll show you toa | room, We are—er—temporarily without a porter.” ‘ ORN coughed. I realized that for the first time in my knowledge he, seemed tobe what in another man | should have called thoroughly @isconcerted. “He sald: “Br—Mr. you'd bettur—er see the police first.” “See the police” Tally paused in the act of turning to follow Madame Grethe. “Yes,” said Lorn, “You see— well, the police are here because— there've been three murders here dm the last few days, “Three murders?” said Francis. “You don’t mean here? Right here du the hotel?” “Yes. Weare all practically jailed here for the time being.” It struck me that Francis Tally was either an extraordinarily brave man or he was extraordinarily cal- jous. He said: “H'mm, Well. What's the reason for ft allt” Lorn's hidden dark eyes went to Madame Grethe. He said cauttoualy: “1 don’t know. But 1 doubt if they'll let you stay here.” Luckily for you, 1 wanted to add, maaame wrethe torestaiea me, she said graciously: “Oh, nonsense, Monsieur Lorn. { “Leave it tome, I will see that it is all settled with the police. Your | room, monsfenr?” She turned away with a gesture that brought Francis Tally after | her. I suppose we all moved to watch them cross the lounge. Grethe led the way up the stairway, her body undulating gracefully under the green silk, and-her red hair gleaming. But. even cool Ma- dame Gretthe had not wished to use the tiny elevator that hung there. Then 1 turned to Lorn. But he was suddenly ‘withdrawn, his eyes veiled, his expression exactly as ani- mated as that of a chair. “Did you know he was coming?” 1 asked quickly, He @id not look offended at my implication that he was concealing that important bit of knowledge from Sue and from me—a knowl edge that, if he had had, In fairness {then Chick Hafey walloped a hom-| jer into the leftfield stands. he ought to have shared. “No,” he said quietly. know.” “This puts. different complexion on the affair.” “Yes,” agreed Lorn remotely. 1 wondered what he was thinking, but. the unwontedly disconcerted look had entirely left him—had left, in fact, so completely that i doubted whether it -had ever been there, He added: s “In the meantime we may as well go tolunch. After all, one must-eat.” “I didn’t WAS a strained and dreadfal meal. Not even the food was good, for Paul’s hysterical nerves had apparently had their outlet in burning what was burnable and sea- soning too wildly.or not at all. The hors d'oeuvres were flat and taste- less, the fish crisp, and the only thing entirely edible was the cheese, Marianne came and went, still sullen and dark and wary. And the four of us in that still cold dining room tried to eat and drink like civilized people when I've no doubt our combined desire was to flee from the place. Mrs. Byng did ‘not arrive at all. The priest’s table was still by some oversight set with the silver and Glasses of the previous night, and it was rather dreadful to see it there, facing me, and remember how Td last seen that flaming red beard, That thought spoiled even the cheese, and 1 eat there crumbling bread and not wishing, somehow, to leave the room until Sue left, It was true that she ought to be safe now, if'ehe was ever safe, with her brother and his detective; at the same time I was perfectly awate that Francis Tally’s unex- pected arrival might well give a last horrible impetus to the dread- ful wheel that was revolving so |- ruthlessly, guided by unsee . hands, there in the black depths of the old hotel. jf Francis Tally himself was admir ably cool. He was also etoile, for he ate his lunch, crisp fish and all, gusto. The two, Sue and the comer, talked very little, and every word was plainly aadible in the silent white room and consisted of commonplaces, He told her what boat he'd sailed on; and when he'd landed—three days previously, it appeared. She agsured him in that stiff voice that did not belong to her that, yes, it was cold, And, yes, the wind was apt to blow like this for a week at a time. Tt was directly after lunch that Sue and her brother retired to the parlor. Lorn, always a bit myatert- ous, became suddenly more mystert- ous and, it seemed to me, more ac tive and even a little agitated under that mysterlousness, He disap peared before I could get a word with him, Not, that I really wanted just then,'to hear his customarily unper turhed half-statementa, For I bad even then that feeling of approaching climax; of haste; of | Give Her A Permanent for Graduation SHELTON STEAM WAVE ° $5.00 oll, WAVE $7.00 Given by CAMILLE TORRES WATSON, Permanent Wave Expert for Owe Week Starting Monday, May 15 BERLIN SAWYER’S BARBER SHOP 508 FLEMING STREET GIANTS DEFEAT PIRATES; REDS | WHIP DODGERS PHILADELPHIA TEAM .
