SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1936. MURDER BY LAURENCE SYNOPSIS: Just as Inspector Hylton’s best leads in the matter of Arthur Burdett’s murder begin to peter out, he discovers through @ chance meeting with a tramp that Dale Shipley was in the neigh- DBorhood 0; the murdered miser’s house at the time of the murder. Dale is the old man’s half nephew, and recently his uncle had made @ will cutting out Dale. Now Hylton is able to reconstruct the crime to fit the meeting described by the * tramp. The story is a gruesome one, and seems to have shocked Ser- geant White quite a bit, Chapter 26 ALICE WHITE HEN Shipley 1s satisfied the cane is clean he goes on into the lane,” continued Hylton, “By 7.25 he’s at the junction of the side lane and the road, and he bumps into our heaven-provided tramp. Of course it startled him—just think of the state his nerves are in!” “And do you mean to say,” cut in White, “he’d start waving his stick at the tramp and telling about it the way he did, if he had just committed a—a murder with it?” ‘if,’ because. Have you ever had to do with a murderer, White? I have. Murdering somebody is just about ten times as intoxicating as getting blind drunk. It may sound funny, but it’s true. When young Shipley was waving his stick at friend Durley and saying ‘this is the stuff we keep for poachers’ or what- ever it was, what he was actually longing to say was ‘see this stick? T’ve just done an old fool in with it; that’s the kind of chap I am.’” Sergeant White nodded sombrely. “You make it sound very convince ing, Inspector,” he said, “but some- how—well, I wouldn't like to think young Mr. Shipley was mixed up in it” “I shall suspect you, Sergeant, of being a sentimentalist soon,” Hyl- ton laughed. “I'm afraid Mr. Ship- ley is going to have rather an un- pleasant day tomorrow. Meanwhile let’s clear our brains a bit—get the chessmen out.” Without further comment White produced the board and men and the two of them settled down to a game. The Sergeant did not show quite the same command of things that he exhibited at their first en- counter, and after a little more than an hour’s play they found them- selves in a rather dreary stalemate. Hylton was pleased not to be beaten again. As he was taking his leave he turned on the doorstep and asked, “Where’s Mrs. White, by the way?” “Over at her pister’s, sir, at Nye- ton, she often pops over there for @n evening.” “Hope she won't mind my beastly cigar smoke all over th2 house. Don't be late in the morning Ser- geant.” “Very good, sir.” | 8 pasts SMALL, tne Nyeton gamekeeper, jerked his head up; he hoped he had heard a tap- tapping on the kitchen window. Small smiled, drew his finely-made body out of the chair and went in his stockinged feet to the back door. Harry Small was a big, broad- shouldered, dark man, with a body made as hard as hickory by the early risings and the long hours in the open which his job demanded. Six feet exactly he stood in his stockinged feet, his shirt open at the throat, his well-cut corduroy breeches showing off his strong legs. He crossed the unlighted kitchen and lifted the latch of the back door. “That you Alice?” he asked. “Nice fool you’d have looked ff it wasn't,” she said. “You ought to be more careful with your names, Harry.” Small laughed. “Ob hell, you’re as bad as that husband of yours.” He stood looking at her for a moment in admiration, a shaft of light from the front room feil on her like the limelight of a theatre, she was pant- ing a little and her cheeks were flushed. He caught his breath sharp- ly. “My God,” he said, “you look a picture.” She laughed again. “Like me, Harry?” “I might lave meant a picture of misery. You've hurried haven’t you?” “I'm at my sister's.” “And where does she think you are?” “On the way home—I can’t stay long Harry.” She upturned her face. “You haven't kissed me yet, Harry.” “Plenty of time.” “1 don’t know—we might all be dead in a year.” “You say some funny things, me dear—there, how's that?” Alice White took her full red lips away from the man’s reluctantly. Her eyes were shut. she was treath- ing quickly. ‘Today s Horoscope Good fortune attends this de- |} dow of a residence, a large male! mocking bird determined to term-| inate the existence of his “ene-| After a week of duelling with his adversary, the bird flew} such} speed that his neck was broken. | six! gree, when not impeded by. giving!

Small disentangled himself from the woman’s arms and lit a cigaret. “What about old Burdett,” he asked, “anything new?” “No. Jimmy seems pretty busy about it.” “He ought to have caught the chap red-handed whoever it was, that would have been one up for him.” “He was out this way that eve- ning, after poachers.” “Well he might as well have been elsewhere. What's this Inspector chap like?” “A bit funny, but quite nice, a proper gentleman.” “I suppose you'll be after him next.” “I don’t go after people.” Small laughed and slid his arm round her again. “I must go soon Harry; he knows I never stay very late at my sis- ter’s.” “Pretty fond of you isn’t he?” “He absolutely adores me. I can give him hell if I want to by getting in a temper and not letting him near me.” “Don’t start any of them tricks here, or you'll be getting something you didn’t reckon for.” She broke away with one of her abrupt movements. “I really must go Harry, ‘tisn’t safe to be longer.” “What about tomorrow?” “Where? Here?” “No. That ol@ fool of a woman comes up to clean the place out to- morrow; if I put her off she'll only talk. Won’t you be walking the Big Wood way?” “It might rain.” “It won't, I can tell you that. T1e weather’s turned witk the moon. “Bout three o’clock tomorrow I'll have finished my traps and be where the cleaning ts.” “I may not be able to come.” Small stretched himself laughed, “I expect ye will,” he said. | escorted KINGSLEY HYL- TON was on the steps of the Lux- or Hairdressing Saloon before that establishment had opened for the day. At length the crimson-nailed, thin-voiced Miss Neve turned up, a little flustered to find somebody waiting for her; still more flus- tered when Hylton produced his card and announced his identity. “What I want to know,” he de manded once they were inside, “is who it was who had her hair done here at 2:30 on last Monday.” Miss Neve said that she would Look At The Book. Then: “Well, it was booked for Mrs. Reeves of Ferney House.” “I know; but Mrs. Reeves changed with someone, didn’t she?” “As a matter of fact, she did. Really, Inspector, the way these people ring up and —” “No doubt. And who took Mrs. Reeves’ place on Monday?” “Why, it was Mrs. Fenton of Fen- ton’s Stores in Enderton.” “Mrs. Fenton? You're sure?” “Oh yes, quite sure. I saw her myself and gave her an appoint- ment card.” “Mrs, Reeves didn’t have an ap pointment card as well did she, when she originally booked that time, I mean?” “Oh no. Mrs. Reeves always does her booking and everything by tele- phone.” Hylton nodded. “Quite so, Miss Neve,” he said cheerfully. “You needn't tell anyone about this.” Miss Neve looked pained. “Oh I shan’t say a word.” “Liar,” thought Hylton. “Back to Enderton, and step on it,” were his instructions as he jumped into the waiting car. They were back at the Hoops in exactly twelve minutes. A busy twelve minutes for the In- spector’s cat-like brain... Mrs, Fenton? Quite certainly he had not expected to have her brought into the business... and yet there came back to his mind the odd little scene in Fenton’s Stores when he had overheard enough to tell him that John Fenton’s wife should have been in church at half past seven om Monday evening and, evi dently to her husband’s surprise, wasn't. ... Kingsley Hylton smiled, (Copsright, 1936, Leurence W.
