MURDER TONIGHT BY LAURENCE W MEYNELL SYNOPSIS: Inspector Hylton has not made much headway at finding” the man who clubbed old ‘Arthur Burdett to death—although he has found something suspicious about the dour manservant of the deceased, who is to inherit all the property’ of his master. But the whole village of Hope Enderton is more or less implicated—even the vicar just has dropped a compro- mising remark to Hylton. And Dale Shipley half nephew of Burdett, is on the suspicious list too. Hylton just is mecting Shipley in the bar of the Hoops. Chapter 19 MARY’S DECEIT ALE uodded to Hylton and re- garded him with an eye that lost nothing of its furtive wariness when the Inspector strolled up to the bar to join him in a drink. “Making any headway?” he asked casually. “Lots,” Hylton cheerfully assured him. The young man seemed re- lieved. “That’s good hearing,” he said. “After anyone in particular?” “We're always after somebody, you know,” the Inspector answered. “Um. | suppose you'll be too busy to come out for a day’s hunting to- morrow—they’re meeting at the Five Way Post just up the road, and and turned him left down the road as she came out of her drive gate- way. Her groom, standing arms akimbo in the stable yard watching her de- parture, was mildly surprised. “Rum way o’ going to the Five Way Post,” he muttered; but he was a philo- sophical man, as grooms mostly are; in his experience women and horses were almost equally unpredictable. Nancy took .the grey up Pilcher’s Lane at the top of which she saw what she had hoped to see, a soli- tary horseman riding ahead of her. She put the grey on to the wide grass verge of the lane and went along it at a canter. “Hallo, Dale,” she cried, reining in alongside him. Young Shipley turned to her in high good humor; he was immensely pleased with his new mount and as far as he could see all Banner Daw- ley’s glowing prognostications might well be justified. “Hallo, Nancy. How d’you like the look of her?” With the morning sun gleaming on her chestnut coat and white stockings the mare looked a pic- ture; and young Dale Shipley, al- ways at his best on horseback, took the eye, too, in his rakish way. “She looks splendid, Dale.” Perry here would find you a hack.” | “You haven't said anythi Kingsley Hylton considered this semi-invitation. True there were things he wanted to do; but true also that he had a great theory about observing people in their un- guarded moments. “I might have a day out,” he said. “I'll think it over.” . *T don’t understand about Monday evening, Mary, you told me you had been to church as usual.” “John—I—" | Ping... John Fenton stared after his wife as she automatically obeyed the summons of the shop door bell. Even if their world was tumbling about their ears it would not have entered John or Mary Fenton’s head to let that bell ring unheeded; it, and what it stood for, had become the major part of their lives. John and Mary Fenton were feel- ing the pressure of big business. The fact was that old Burdett, who was the Fenton’s landlord, was renting the premises next door to the Coastal Coop2rative Society, which first had tried to buy out the Ten- tons, and then had determined to run them out of business. And the further truth was that after John Fenton had failed to per suade old Burdett to stand by local enterprise and forsake his plan to rent to the Cooperative, Mary Fen- ton had dressed in her Sunday black, taken her prayer book under her arm, and gone to see Burdett her- self. When Mary came back into the room from attending to her custom- er, her husband said slowly. “I don’t understand about Monday evening, Mary. You told me you had been to church as usual.” Mary hesitated and looked at him, and he was frightened by something ‘in her eyes. She tried to tell him something, * but could only cry “John—1—I—1—" then rushing across the room she 4fell on her knees at his side and with her head on his lap burst into i fit of uncontrollable sobbing. 0 162 ee INANCE FEATHERSTONE gen- | tled her big grey, who had a “She feels right; keen as mustard, 1 should say, though I haven't gal- SSSS SS ing to anyone about it?” loped her yet. ! suppose we'll draw the Seven Acre first, won’t we?” “Pretty sure to.” “1 wonder if that old fox we've had out before ‘ll be there.” INANE laughed. “I’m beginning to believe the Seven Acre vixen is a myth,” she said; “we never | catch her anyway.” They jogged along in silence for a bit, each taking stock of the other’s mount; then Dale reined in closer to Nancy and said a little awk- wardly, “I say—Nancy—” “Yost” “You know what I told you about having a bit of a tiff with old Bur- dett.” “Yes.” “You haven't said anything to any- one about it, have you?” “Of course not.” Dale looked relieved. “That's all right,” he said with a laugh. “It doesn’t really matter, of course, only you know how people talk. That de tective fellow would soon get hold of a thing like that—he's coming out today. 1 put him up to hiring that old hack of Perry's; with any luck he'll break his blasted neck.” They had turned the corner of the lane now, and a quarter of a mile away down the straight Roman road could be seen the preliminary mu: ter of the meet where the five waya met. Other riders were nearing them, and on an impulse Nancy leaned across and said, “Dale, would you tell me one thing—” Shipley looked up quickly at her. “What is it?” “Lawson didn’t bring you any— {| any bad news the other day at the Cottage, did he?” As on many other occasions in his | life, Dale told a lie and the truth in one breath, “Bad news?” he asked. “Why should he? He only came to see if L was suited with a horse.” Nancy knew her Dale better, it is Possible, than her Dale knew him- self. And somehow, she was not al- together happy. (Copyright, 1936, Laurence W.
