TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1936. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN vey BY AGArHA CHRISTIE: SYNOPSIS: Every time Frankie Derwent and Bobby Jones think they are about to solve the mystery of Alan Carstairs’ murder, ana ex- plain the suicide of Henry Bassing- ton-ffrench, something sets them off on a fresh tack. While Bobby tn- vestigates the suspicious Dr. Nich- olson, Frankie investigates the equally suspicious Caymans, tn London Frankie learns uothing about the Caymans, Lut in conver- sation with her father's lawyer she suddenly discovers thot he knows @ good deat about the mysterious Carstairs. Chapter 35 NEW MYSTERY E was. He consulted me when he was last in Engiand a month ago.

Mr. clearly as wax in this ad tell me the whole ” said Frankie bold- ly. “I never seemed ‘o get the thing clearly.” “Mr. Savage happened te be trav- eling back from the United States to England in November of last year. He was, as you know, an extremely wealthy man with no near relatives, On this voyage he made the ac quaintance of a certain Mrs. Temple- ton. Nothing much is known about Mrs. Templeton except that she was a very good-looking woman and had a husband somewhere conveniently in the background.” “The Caymans,” thought Frankie. “These ocean trips are danger- ous,” went on Mr. Spra niling | and shaking his head. “Mr. Savage accepted the lad invitation to come gown and stay at her little | cottage at Chippir Somerton. | There is no doubt that he came | more and more under this Mrs. Tem- pleton’s influence. “Then came the tragedy. Mr. Sav- | age had for some time feared that he might be suffering from cancer. He was staying with the Templetons at the time. They persuaded him to go up to London and con a spe- specialist swore at the in quest that Mr. Savage was not suf. fering from cancer and that he had of these assertions and, as I pointed out to him, men change their opin- icns.” “There was no fuss made at the | time?” asked Frankie. “As I say. Mr. Savage's relatives | were not living in this country and they knew very little about the mat- ter. It was Mr. Carstairs who took the matter up. He returned from a trip inte the interior of Africa, and j came over to this country to see if | something could be done about it. I was forced to tell him that in my } view there was nothing to be done. | Possession is nine points of the law, and Mrs, Templeton was in posses- sion. Moreover, she had left the country and gone, I believe, to the j south of France to live. She refused to enter into any communication on the matter.” “1 see,” said Frankie. |body knows anything about this Mrs. Templeton?” Mr. Spragge shook his head and pursed his iips, Frankie rose. rdinary crea tures,” she said. She held out a hand. ‘Gcod bye, Mr.Spragge,” she said. You've been wonderful — simply | woncerful. J feel too ashamed.” “You Bright Young People must be more cazeful,” said Mr. Spragge. shaking his head at her. “You've been an angel,” Frankie. HE inexplicable absence of Moira worried Bobby more than jhe cared to admit. That she had left Staverley of her own free will Bob- by did not for one minute believe. No, the sinister Dr. Nicholson was at the bottom of this. Somehow or other he must have become aware of Moira’. activities, and this was his counter-move. Somewhere with- in the sinister walls of the Grange, Moira was a prisoner, unable to com- municate with the outside world. But she might not remain a pris- oner long. Bobby believed implicitly every word Moira had uttered. Nich. olson meant to get rid of his wife. Bobby believed he would. Moira’s body would probably be found in some district far from Staverley. It might, perhaps, be washed up by the sea. Or it might be found at the foot of a cliff. Che thing would appear to be, Bobby was almost sure, an cident.” Nicholson specialized in cecidents.”” Nevertheless, Bobby believed that | the planning and carrying out of such an accident would need time— not much time, but a certain amount. Before that interval had elapsed Bobby meant to have found Moira if she were in the Grange. After he had left Frankie in Brook Street, he started to put his plans into operation. That evening a young man with a moustache, dressed in a cheap dark- bl suit, arrived at the bustling e town of Ambledever. He put | up at a hotel near the station, regis tering as George Parker. Having de- posited his suitease there, he strolied out and entered into nego- tiations for hiring a motorcycle. At ten o’clock that evening a mo- torcyclist in cap and goggles passed through the village of Staverley and | came to a halt at a deserted part of the road not far from the Grange. Then he sauntered along the wall told him so, but that Mr. Savage was so obsessed by his own belief that he could not accept the truth when | he was told it. Now, strictly without | prejudice, 1. and know: | ing the medic on, 1 think things may - ently. If Mr puzzled the spoken seriously, pulled a long talked of certain expensive ments, and while reassuring b to cancer yet have conveyed the pression that si ously wrong. NYWAY.
