MURDER BY LAURENCE SYNOPSIS: Inspector Hylton, investigating the murder of old Arthur Burdett, has found only two unusual circumstances so far. One is Captain Reeves’ admission that he quarreled with the old miser an hour or 80 before he tas clubbed to death; the other ts Dale Ship- ley's exceeding interest in the con versation Hylton had with Reeves. Shipley waster and relative of Bur- dett’s, 13 annoyed that Hylton caught him in his eavesdropping. He sees a floure approaching him over the fields. Chapter 13 TEA FOR TWO =F ALLO, Nancy — here, Ranger. here.” Ranger bounded up and made ec- static questing with his lovely nose of all the agreeable horsey smells on Dale's leggings and boots; what- ever difficulties might exist in the way of conversation for his divinity happily did not trouble him. Nancy Featherstone felt embar- rassed; there w.s only one reason why she should have chosen the patb by Fielden Cottage for her af- ternoon walk, and she was certain that it was screaming itself aloud to high Heaven. “It's going to freeze again,” Nancy said. “If it goes on there won't be any hunting.” Dale cocked an eye round the black winter woods and the sombre TONIGHT W. MEYNELL She had been in Fielden Cottage before, of course, and the boyish untidiness of everything, the entire absence of flower and a dozen other details always curiously teased her heart. A log fire was smouldering in the brick grate and Dale, unearthing a pair of bellows from somewhere, said in his casual way: “Nancy, see if you can get a bit of life into the fire whilst | dig out old Mother Somers, will you?” Nancy knelt on the hearth rug before the tantalizingly unswept hearth and, like a priestess at some strange rite, proceeded to induce the miracle of flame into the re | luctant logs. An odd business, she thought, the human heart. Of all trivial things Dale could have asked her to do this business of mending his fire was the one which nurt her most and the one which she would have first chosen. “Hallo, how’s the fire going?” “Reviving splendidly,” “Good. You're a marvel, Nancy. 1 told Mrs. Somers to dig out some- thing special for tea as a lady had called on me and -he said it was high time | had a tady tre look after me all together. What do you think of that?” RS. SOMERS, flurried 5 the un usual] excitement of company Of all the trivial things Dale could have asked her to do “Won't be much frost tonight,” he said optimistically. “Are you going out on Friday, Dale, if they hunt?” “I expect so.” “I hear you've bought a new horse.” “Who the devil told you that? You can’t do a thing in this place without everybody knowing it in five minutes.” Nancy flushed. “I heard Saunders talking about it, that was all,” she said. Dale laughed unpleasantly. “That groom of yours knows everything, doesn’t he? As a ‘natter of fact 1 haven't bought it yet. At least I haven't pald for it.” “Nobody ever does pay for any- thing nowadays, do they? At least not on the nail.” “Depends how much money you've got, I suppose,” Dale said gloomily. “I know I don’t.” “Ranger, Ranger.” “What's the matter with the dog?” “I'm afraid he’s gone into your garden, Dale.” Ranger, impeniten. bu‘ wary, duly came to heel. “My Gad, Nancy,” ‘Dale laughed, “you've got a voice on you just like {= man,” QUEER look crossed the wo- mau’: face for a moment as she bent over Ranger to snap his jead on. “I suppose you think that’s a compliment,” she said as she straightendd up. “Well, it must be getting on for tea time for Ranger and me, Come on, Ranger.” “Why not come in and have a cup of tea with me?” Dale suggested. “I daresay Mrs. Somers will knock something together for us.” “It’s very kind of you, Dale.” Fielden Cottage was almost ex- actly twenty times as old as its owo- er and, many people would have said, just about twenty times as se cure and dependable. It had been built by simple homely men of sim- pir homely materials, with the re ‘sult that it still stood frm after some five hundred years, and fitted with perfect appropriateness into dts surroundings. “Mind your head,” he sald as he opened the front door and stood te {one side, and Nancy duly ducked} dher head and crossed the thresnola sete = 8 had risen nobly to the occasion, and as much food as six people could have comfortably eaten arrived in great style. “Good afternoon, Miss.” “Good afternoon. Mrs. Somers.” “1 ‘ope you be keeping well, Miss.” “Yes, thank you. How are you. Mrs. Somers?” Mrs, Somers put the tea tray down with careful deliberation Here was a matter which warranted close attention. At the age of sixty eight she had as much resiliency, toughness. vitality, spirit and gen eral healthiness in her most townswomen of half her age But she did not think so. “Well, it's my legs. Mis: said. Nancy nodded. She knew practl- cally all there was to know about Mrs. Somers’ legs. At the Women’s Institute and other places she had grown used to hearing long and dramatically detailed accounts of my legs, Miss,” she repeated firmly, “they don’t seem to be what ihey used” “Go and see if you can find that dog of Miss F atherstone’s, Dale cut in loudly, “and give it a bow! of milk in thé kitchen.” “Yes, sir.” Mrs: Somers, and her legs, re- tired inta state,of somewhat ruffied dignity} and) Naney.’ though she could not kelp laughing was forced to expostulate with Dale. “You shouldo’t have cut her short so rudely, Mal, she loves talking about ber legs.” “But I don't love hearing about them. Have some tea, Nancy; here, you pour out, you're better at this sort of thing than | am.” “Have you heard anything more about the business ai the Court?” she askei, “No,” Dale answered “Why should 1?” “I just wondered. Everybody seems to have a new theory.” “I don’t go in for theories,” Dale answered virtuously. “As a matter of fact, i shouldn’t be surprised it Pat Reeves weren't the last person to see the old miser alive.” (Coprriphs, 1936, Lawrence W.
