TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1936. AECCCCOCOOOTOOCEOOOOOOOOOOSOOOSOTECOES MURDER TONIGHT BY LAURENCE W. MEYNELL SYNOPSIS: Inspector Hylton just has had the discouraging ez- perience of having a coriotl good ¢lue evaporate on fe has thought Lumadgle’s mysterious arcels from the Post Office mi fave had something to do with the still more mysterious death of Ar- thur Burdett—and all the parcels contained was post cards. Dale Shipley is still under suspicion, and now Mra. Reeves pretty and frish, seems likewise @ cloud. Nev- ertheless, Lumsdale. who was the murdered man's servant, ts not en- tirely out of the woods. Chapter 22 THE REEVES XCEPT as curiosities the photo graphs could hardly be said to caterest him. In his time, in Paris, Port Said and the bad quarter of Marseilles, he had come across some pretty filthy representations, out he had never seen the equa! of what he handled now in the old fashioned kitchen of Enderton Court. He felt slightly sick. “What’s al! this?” he asked. “Mister, those cards haven't any- thing to do with me,” Lumsdale said Su earnestly as to carry conviction. “ll swear to tha’ on oath. Those are what the old fool used to like to look at. | had to get them for him. When I first came here he told me that he had important parcels com ing from abroad—Par'3 they came A somewhat chastened Andrew Lumsdale nodded. “All right, Mis- ter.” Twenty minutes later Kingsley Hylton was being smiled at by the maid at Ferney House. Yes, Mrs. Reeves was in, and the Captain; would he pleasé to come in. The Inspector’ found Captain’ Reeves and his wife sitting in the: drawing room with a copy of “Horse & Hound” open between them. Mrs. Reeves gave the inspector an af- fable welcome; the Captain looked at him and gruntea. Hylton refused the offer of tea. “No; no tea, thank you. I’ve come on business.” “About old Burdett?” asked. “About the murder.” “Then in that case my wife bet ‘er leave us.” “I'd rather she didn’t. It's Mrs. Reeves that I want to see at the mo ment.” “And what the devil do you sup pose a woman can have to do with that business?” “Pat, please—” put in. Reever Nellie Reeyes ‘APTAIN REEVES,” Hylton ~ said, “I daresay you pride your- self on being a loyal, law-abiding citizen, don’t you?” Hylton watched the process in silence. from—and he wanted me to give the name of Langley at the Post Office and collect anything as came. “At first 1 though it was all right, but after a bit 1 saw one or two of these lying about and | soon tum- bled to it. Well, if the old fool wanted the things, | wasn’t going to lose my job by refusing to-get them trom the Post Office; but when the business happened on Monday and C had to give a timetable like of what I was doing, I ‘eft out my visit to the Post Office. It didn’t have any: thing to do with the murder, and 1 chought {f you found out about it I'd get into trouble.” Hylton thought fo- a moment. “What are these filthy things doing in a drawer in the kitchen?” he asked suddenly, “\ JELL, ah don’t suppose you'll believe about that, Mister, but this is how it is, When | came back on Monday and found the old boy dead almost the first thing 1! thougat about was these here photographs. I thought ‘Police’l) search every- thing in this. room, bound to, and then it'll get out abou: the old foo! having these.’ Somewhow | didn’t like to think of it, 80 hefore ever 1 went down to fetch the Sergeant I cleared the drawer out and brought them here.” “Why didn’t vou burn 'em?” “I'm going to, Mister, but 1 hadn’t seen ‘em all, and »4 suppose a man’s human like everybody else.” “Pitch ‘em on the fire now,” Hyl ton ordered curtly. “It makes me al- most ashamed to be human when | see stuff like that.” Lumsdale obediently gathered the mass of pornography together and fed the flames with it. Hylton watched the process in silence and when {it was over aske¢ abruptly: “Did Mrs. Reeves ever come here?” “Once or twice she did.” “And her husband?” “T’ve never known him come.” “Um.” The Inspector got up and imade for the door, hut before he reached it he turned round. “Now look here, Lumsdale,” he Bald, “you're still in ¢ nasty posi- tion, and if you want to keep out of trouble just go on telling the truth. Do you get that?” Pegecccccccesocecoccovccce “What's that got to do with any: thing?” “Just this, that at present you are behaving either like a criminal, and not a clever one at that; or a sulky schoolboy.” “I've already told you that I went to the Court on Monday afternoon.” “And refused to say why you went there.” “That's my business.” “And the law's. However, at pres- ent all I ask is for you to be quiet whilst | ask your wife a few ques- tions.” “Pat, for heaven’s sake don’t make things more awkward than they are,” his wife begged. “Go on, Mr. Hylton, we may as well get this over, what is it you want?” “Have you ever been to Ender ton Court, Mrs. Reeves?” Nellie Reeves darted a distressed look across the room at her hus- hand before answering, “Yes—I have—twice.” “Were you there on Monday the 18th?” “Last Monday? No.” Hylton let that nass for the mo ment, “Tell me,” he said, “were these visits of yours to the Court just in the ordinary way of social calls?” Again that troubled look shot across the room. “I really don’t see that you can pry into private business like that,” Reeves broke in angrily, and almost as sharply his wife answered, “Oh, Pat, for goodness sake let's get the wretched thing cleared up and done with.” “Not a bai idea.” Hylton con- curred. “Do you mind if | smoke?” “Sorry—whkere are the cigarets, Pat?” “No thanks, I'll have one of these.” Carefully he selected and lt one of his thin cigars. “Now let’s have it, Mrs. Reeves,’ he urged. “Well, it’s a beastly story, though of course, in a way, it had nothing to do with me. I’m secretary of the poultry and damage fund in the Hunt, and of course a good deal of the land we hunt over belongs to, old Burdett.” (Copyright, 1936, Lourence W.
