THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1986, MURDER BY LAURENCE SYNOPSIS: Inspector zoe has it about pinned the mi of old Arthur Burdett on urdotte Capes pe poy pe megs ta ar eud- Bye Fee 8 Dale’s house to issue a pick-up ore der when Nancy Featherstone, old- er than Dale but in love with him nevertheless, telle Hylton that ~ 1g. room. while Sergeant White, earnest but not particularly olever, is Se ly at work on the same case. And of course, Dale ia not at Nancy's use, Chapter 30 FAMILY AT ODDS T one o’clock Sergeant White came back to his cottage and went thoughtfully through into the kitchen wher his wife was busy taking something out of the oven. “How's Mr. Hylton this morning?” Alice asked lightly. “He wasn’t there.” “Not there? Where was he?” “As a matter of fact 1 don’t quite know. He told me to meet him at twelve and said particularly 1 was not to be late. They told me at the Hoops that he went into Morechester this morning early, and then came back about half past ten and they haven’t seen him since.” “Pity you can’t find out who did that old fool in,” she said irritably, “we might get a lift then and be able to afford a decent oven.” “No one can expect me to be over at Nyeton and at Enderton Court at the same time.” “It wasn’t much good your being at Nyeton seemingly, the poachers Were out just the same.” “How do you know that?” White asked quickly, and Alice could have bitten the end of her stupid tongue off. She ought to have learned by now, she reflected, to be doubly careful with a man as madly jealous as her husband. “I just heard somebody talking about it somewhere in the village— here have this damned, oh I'm sorry Jimmy, this blessed shepherd's pie before it gets cold...” She cut him a piece of bread and put the bottle of Yorkshire Relish in his reach and filled his glass with water. All these ministrations he received with that masculine matter of course indifference which not in- frequently a woman finds the most maddening thing in the whole world. One or two sharp comments came to her tongue but she repressed them. Jimmy had a regular job with good money and a pension, she wasn’t going to be fool enough to fall out with him unnecessarily, es- pecially when she could pull the wool over his eyes so beautifully as long as she was careful. “Pie's burnt a bit,” he said. “What are you doing this afternoon.” “Going to Morechester.” “The pictures, I suppose?” “Well, what's wrong with the pic- tures?” “You're always off there, nowa- days,” he said. “A woman wants to get out of her house sometime, I suppose.” “What's on—anything special?” For a moment Alice could hardly believe her ears. It would be just like the almost inspired perverse- ness of the male, she thought, If he said he would come with her. He noticed her slight pause and asked again, this time looking full at her. “I'm just trying to think,” she said testily. “I'm not sure what it fs, but I don’t think it’s anything special.” FTER a moment or so she could not help adding “Were you thinking of coming, Jimmy?” “Good Lord, no. I've got something to do. I shall be out with the In- spector, I suppose.” Alice was well pleased to let the conversation run on to other lines.’ “Funny you can’t get any idea who's done it,” she said. “Who says we can’t get any idea? I keep telling the Inspector it’s most likely one of these rough-looking chaps | saw in the village a day or two before.” “I wonder who they were. No body else saw them, did they?” “Of course somebody else saw them, but nobody takes any notice of a tramp.” “Seems to me a waste of time looking in the village here.” “P’raps they'll find that out as they go along,” White said with a peculiar smile, “Do you think the Inspector sus- pects young Shipley?” “Why should he?” her husband looked up sharply. “Well, everybody knows he didn’t like the old man and I suppose It might as well be him as anybody else.” White looked away again and ehook his head. LANDON WILL GET BIG WELCOME IN VILLAGE OF BIRTH (By associated Press) WEST MIDDLESEX, Pa., Aug. 6.—This town in the farm land of western Pennsylvania, where “the Landon baby” was born in his father-in-law’s Methodist parson- age nearly a half century ago, is awaiting eagerly a visit by the Republican presidential nominee. “We can take care of a crowd up to 200,000 people,” says H. G. TONIGHT W. MEYNELL “I don’t think it was Dale Ship ley,” he said, “so don’t you get Jumping to the conclusion it was.” Alice gave her rich, care-free laugh. “I don’t care who it was,” she cried, “as long as it wasn’t you.” “Don’t talk foolishly,” James White begged in a grumbling ~ T half past two exactly Harry Small sat on the bole of a fallen oak facing the central clearing in the Big Wood, laid his gun carefully on the dry ground at his side, and pulling an old pouch out of one ca- pacious side pocket began to fill the pipe that he had been sucking. He glanced at his watch; Alice was ten minutes late, but Small didn’t worry. She'd come; having trouble with that husband of hers most likely. The gamekeeper smiled as his thoughts ran on James White —a rum chap for such a powerful man, didn’t seem to smoke much or drink, and all against swearing— but a man, though, you had to allow him that, Did his duty and afraid of no one —cut up nasty most likely if ever he found out. Harry Small’s smile broadened, after all what was life worth without a bit of a risk to give sauce to it; and Alice was worth it any day, more than worth it He stretched his big body in pleasur- able anticipation; ard so quickly that even’ his phenomenally quick ears gave him only a moment's warning she came up to him from behind. “Harry.” “You've come, my dear.” “I am puffed, it’s an awful pull up that bank.” “You're late.” “Late? You ought to be damned glad [ve come at all.” Small’s eye ran over her flushed, handsome face and her generous body. “So | am,” he allowed. “I told him I was going to the Pictures and just for the moment I thought he was going to offer to come with me.” 1 “Sergeant White go to the pic- tures?” “He does sometimes.” “Not often, fll bet.” She sat down on the log by him still breathing quickly. He made no effort to caress her, there was plenty of time yet, “Nice day,” he said. “Jimmy's off on this business at the Court. Who do you reckon did it Harry?” “That chap as lives with him most likely.” i “Lumsdale?” | “Yes, Unless it’s one of the gentry whose woman he played about with.” Alice White looked up quickly. “What do you mean?” she asked. “What do you know about it?” “I can’t say as | know anything exactly, but I've heard a tale or two. ‘E was a bit of an old coughdrop, wasn't he, for all this living alone and miser business?” The woman was staring down the ride. “Did you see Jimmy on Mon- day night?” she asked suddenly. “See him? No, of course | didn’t. What's more important to me is did he see that Ruckley gang that was out.” “But if he had been out he would have seen them. wouldn’t he?” “Nyeton Wood's a big place my dear,” Small said, “big enough for you and me to get, lost in anyway; let’s try.” He rose to his feet, stretched him- self prodigiously and bending with a sudden quick movement picked the woman up in his arms and pressed her to him. ) AVhen her lips were freee wave | @ little ga: “Oh, you x strong.” si HER: m “Strong enough to pick, sou, up, anyway; and put you down where I've a mind to.” “¥ like your cheek.” He slipped his arm through beret and they began to walk away to- gether. “Can’t we stay here?” she pro tested. “It’s lovely in this bit of sun.” “It'll be lovelier stili where I've a mind to go,” he said, “there’ it of a bank the other side of the ride where the turf’s so soft you might be sitting on a bed.” “All right Harry,” Alice said quietly. . | They had emerged from the side of the wood and overlooked an un- expected and charming little valley. Its slope lay to the southwest and formed a perfect trap for the after noon sun, so that January and all the bleak things of the year seemed further off than ever. With a sudden but unhurried movement he lifted her off her feet, (Copyright, 1936, Lourence W. Meynelt} Sergeant White also takes to the woods, tomorrow.
