PAGE FOUR MURDER SYNOPSIS: Inspector Hylton acas hot on the trail of Dale Ship- ley, whom he believes murdered cid’ Arthur Burdett, the miser, when Nancy Featherstone locked him up ina strong room—and kept him there. Meanwhile Date ts in London, and Hylton’s helper, Sergeant ‘White, is wondering where his superior officer could be. White's wife Alice, however, 4s only worried ‘about the where- abouts of her husband—for she ia having @ rendes-vous with a game= Keeper, deep in the forest. Chapter 31 STILL NO HYLTON 'ERGEANT WHITE made a lel- sured journey down to the Hoops after his dinner. He was a trifle an- Boyed with the Inspector for not keeping the appointment of the morning but, no doubt (he reflected) his superior officer, who seemed quite a decent sort of a chap as far as he went, had some good reason for it. The Hoops was officially closed when he got there, but Edward Perry came to the back door quick- ly enough when he saw who was standing in the yard. “Haven't seen Mr. Hylton since about ten or half past this morning when he came back from More chester in the car. I’ve got his lunch waiting for him still.” “Did he say he'd be back for Tanch?” coce| TONIGHT WO MEY NCE Li COCCOCS CC OE CEOS CCEEECESO seemed to him that all the detalls of it stood out in unwonted clearness, | Life (James White thought), mer- { chandise and marketing; eating and | drinking; loving and giving in love. He turned and walked slowly up the | street. A variety of jobs offered | themselves to him that afternoon; it ' wouldn’t be a bad idea to go over to Punt and look up the constable there, a slack sort of man who; wanted a lot of supervision; or | there was the house half way to Morechester (only just inside his | boundary) where he was pretty sure three dogs were being kept without any licenses. But White felt disinclined for work of any sort. He left the village | bebind him and scrambling up the high bank cut across a newly sown field and so gained a footpath that led to one of his favorite walks. He wanted to get away from men and to be alone with his thoughts a little, he was a great man for being alone with his thoughts. i 1) igloo WHITE often thought it would have been better for him if his father who was born in a humble station of life had stayed there and had not suddenly acquired what was for him a small fortune. Most of the small fortune had been unselfishly spent in sending White la Dance Tonight At Cuban Club Regular Friday night dances at the Cuban Club are getting more lar and larger crowds are at- i as the school season draws!

LOW PRICES AT MENDELL’S SALE FIRST SALE NOW GOING ON TO LAST BUT THREE MORE DAYS Mendell’s First Sale, pcheciodt Ue Pe to last only 10 days, will close at. James White had seen the man and his wife. “Yes. Very particular about it. A bit of pork-pie and some pickles he fancied—it's all ready for him now.” “He didn’t say where he was go- ing?” “Not a word. Off he went in that quick way of his, shouting out about the lunch over his shoulder.” Sergeant White nodded. “I expect he’s got on to something that’s keep- ing him longer than he thought,” he said. “ft daresay. Wonderful quick chaps these Scotland Yard men,” Perry opined, hastening to cover up what might seem to be somewhat of a gaffe by adding, “Not as what we aren't satisfied with the locals round about here, all right. Jimmy, un- officially, how's it getting on? Are you after anybody particular?” “Well, ['m not in charge of the case, but I think the Inspector's got his eye on one or two.” Perry recognized the practised hand of diplomacy and respected it. “Shall [ tell him you were asking for him when he comes back?” he asked. “You might say I was down this morning. | daresay I'll be back. again about tea time, he’s. sure to be here by then.” 4 HE Sergeant nodded and walked out of the yard. Edward Perry, arms akimbo (his favorite pos tion) watched him go reflectively .. rum sort of chap to be in the force (he reckoned) different from all the other countr~ sergeants he had ever known, cut above them somehow, you could imagine him being solict tor or something of that almost... Dut over and above that there was something queer about the Sergeant, you never knew when you had bim exactly, a bit of a deep ‘un some how. Sergeant White stood undecided for a moment in the Square of Hope Enderton. It was busy with the ebb and flow of Saturday afternoon life, The half timbered fronts and towed windows of the shops, the market stalls clustered in the centre, the country carts, the very scavem ging dogs were all part of a scene 80 familiar to the man that you might have thought he could ‘sok at it without seeing it almost: and yet on that bright January afternoon it to an expensive school, his father being determined that his son should have what he himself had lacked— education. James White got his education, more tham an average share of it perhaps, for his brain was a quick one; but he got precious little else. The war came as a relief to him. After the war he was for a time at a loose end; then he enlisted in the regular police force in England. Then, in one year, he got his pro- motion to Sergeant, which did not much surprise him; and he met Alice Codper, who did. James White was not inexpert enced whem he married Alice but very nearly so. All the intense com centration on his own affairs which had grown to be such a habit with him now suddenly included another human being. He had always been it could go to hell; it could go there in double quick time now, so long as it left him and his Alice alone. After he had seen the womar and the man James White stood stock still for a full minute. The air was quiet; he could hear the woman's voice ‘and could hear her laugh, "Alice's rich untrammeled laugh, vi- brant with life and delight. He turned and went back into the wood. Though he wasn’t aware of it phe went back to Enderton by ex- actly the same roundabout route he had taken from the village. When he got back the sun had set. The police cottage was empty, he let himself into the kitchen and sat in one of the hard wooden chaira staring at his hands on the enamel topped table . . . giving herself to him... when he heard a light foot-: step outside in the now fast-fall- ing darkness he got up and pretend- ed to busy himself with some crock- ery on a shelf, keeping his back to the door, He rattled cups when he touched them, and a shaking hand was un- usual for the Sergeant. His life was rather like the shaking cups, he thought — one moment outwardly quiet, the next in a fair way, jg be shattered. G (Copyright, 1936, Laurence W.
