WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1986, MURDER ecece TONIGHT BY LAURENCE W. MEYNELL Chapter 35 ADVICE TO DALE YLTON nodded and rose to his feet. “Don’t forget you're still under suspicion; if your story doesn’t check up you're in for trouble. Oh and by the way,” he turned at the door to add his last words, “I sup Pose it has never entered your head to let a decent girl get hold of you and try to make something worth while out of you, has it?” “What d’you mean?” asked Dale. “If any girl had done for me what Miss Featherstone did for you to day, Shipley, I'd go down on my knees to thank her; but you’re so damned egotistical you're blind.” Hylton slammed the door behind him and left a surprised and crest- fallen young man in the drawing room. 5 Nancy was waiting in the hall. “Mr. Hylton,” she said quickly, as he came towards her, “I want to apologize for what | did. Please don’t think I’m running away from it, I’m only speaking personally now.” “Miss Featherstone,” he said gently, “I’ve been cursed with a most curious memory. Do you know, | am beginning to think that | can forget all about what happened today—on one condition.” “s. “1 think you are a fright- fully good sort.” “On one condition?” | “Yes. That you go, now, into that) room, and tell Dale Shipley what} you did and why you did it.” Nancy Featherstone stared at| him; then she turned from white to} brick red. At length she managed to blurt out: “I—I think you are a frightfully | good sort.” Kingsley Hylton smiled and went towards the front door. “(OOD evening, Inspector.” Even in his own mentally agi- tated state, it was on the tip of Hyl-| ton’s tongue to cry out “Good Lord, what’s the matter with your wife?” Alice White was standing in a cor- ner of the room, poker-straight | against the wall and looking as} white as death. | “I went to the Hoops as you told} me,” Sergeant White said. | “Yes—I say, I’m sorry 1 wasn’t there, as a matter of fact I've had rather an extraordinary day.” “Yes?” The man’s voice was so entirely | wooden and uninterested that Hy! ton glanced up sharply. “I say,” he laughed, “I’m afraid { have interrupted tea. I'm sorry.” “That's all right, sir.” A long thin knife on the table caught Hylton’s attention. He picked it up and said, “That's a useful look- ing sort of knife, Sergeant.” “Perhaps we better go into the of- fice,” White suggested. “Right-o, let’s. There are half a dozen things I want to talk about— if Mrs. White will excuse us.” He looked up with one of his quick smiles at the woman who had not yet said a word; she nodded, and when the two men moved across }the room she followed them. White led the way, and the Inspec- tor was half through the doorway following him when something ;Plucked at his arm. { He turned to find Alice White istanding there. She said nothing, but there was a look about her, something wild and frightened and yet horribly triumphant in her eyes. He was just about to ask the woman what she wanted when she shook her head. She said nothing, but simply moved her eyes in the direction of the man who had just left the room, and back again to the Inspector nod- ding twice quickly; then ske dropped her detaining fingers from his arm and noiselessly moved into the centre of the kitchen. Hylton hesitated for a moment and then followed the Sergeant. “1 suppose you hung round the Hoops most of the day,” he said after he had lit a cigar and made himself comfortable. “A good part of it. I naturally didn’t want to miss you.” “My fault entirely—as a matter of fact 1 had quite a peculiar day. lt was up at Fielden Cottage early this morning and the first things 1 dis- covered there was that young Ship- ley had done a bolt.” AMES WHITE seemed interested for the first time that evening. “Mr. Shipley bolted?” he asked. “Whatever for?” “Curiously enough, Sergeant, that’s the very question I asked my- self. Do you know anything of Miss Frances Lawson?” “The . Lodge-keeper’s daughter? From what I can hear of her she’s like the rest of women, take up with any man she can get hold of.” Hylton gave a full account of Dale Shipley’s story, to which White paid so little attention that the Inspector was moved to break off and enquire rather sharply, “You listening, Ser- geant?” “Yes, I’m listening.” “And you think it likely or not?” “Very likely 1 should think. Be sides if Shipley cut and run because of this murder business he would hardly stroll back a day later. would he?” Hylton was forced to admit the force of this. “Net unless he’s very deep,” he said. “1 went straight to the Lodge and was lucky enough to catch Miss Frances alone. She ‘came | clean,’ and 1 must say her yarn fit- ted in in every detail with young Shipley’s.” ; “Then it looks ali right.” “It looks all right, certainly; ‘ but if Dale Shipley didn’t do it—” | “1 don’t think Dale Shipley’ did the murder, Inspector.” “You've said that before, White. But if Shipley didn't do it, who the devil did?” ‘ Any answer was forestalled by the { shrill insistence of the telephone bell. “The super at Morechester wants &@ word with you, sir,” White said, handing the instrument over. “Damn,” Hylton said fervently, replacing the instrument after a mo- ment. “They want me to go over to Morechester — started some hare- brained theory, I suppose, but 1 shall have to go; they’re sending a car to the Hoops.” Sergeant White shut the door after the departing Hylton and went slowly into the kitchen. He found it as he expected to find it—empty. ~ (Copyright, 1936, Lawrence W. Meynell) Hylton walks in the dark, tomore row—and finds a man hanging.
