Lost to him that Alf Durley’s tale (for augl2 x | Nov bit into the shadow and in about ‘alf @ minute along comes the ser- geant—” “The what?” Hylton asked. “The police sergeant from Ender- ton, the same one as you took me to see last night—” Hylton looked from Durley to the Superintendent. “You're talking through your hat Durley, you must have made a mistake.” “Not likely. 1 saw ‘im as plain as plain. I've seen Sergeant White about on the roads fifty times and I reckergnized him.” “What time was this?” “Not many minutes after the ‘arf- hour.” “What half hour?” “Seven, mister, I was in Enderton before eight.” Hylton stared at the tramp with a worried expression on his face— he was recalling vividly that unex- plained moment in the police cot- tage when Alice White had pjucked him by the arm. “You're spinning a yarn Durley,” he said suddenly, “what's at the back of it? What have you got against Sergeant White?” “Honest to Gawd mister it’s the truth. [ haven't got a thing against the Sergeant, ‘e's never ‘ad me up or anything. All I know is the truth and that is Sergeant White come down the back drive there as near after ‘arf past seven Monday night as doesn’t matter.” “Um. Supposing we pretend to be- lieve you for a minute, what did you do then?” “Mister,” Alf Durley said with great earnestness, “I beat it straight to the ‘Oops at Enderton—1 was there before eight. I can prove it.” » “Why are you suddenly telling us this yarn Durley?” Hylton asked. “Why one tale last night and an- other now?” “Because I've beet thinking Mis- ter, and I'm not quite a fool yet. First thing | says to myself when I ‘eard the old boy had been kiboshed was ‘You ‘old your tongue Alf Durley; ‘them as don’t speak can’t get into trouble, I says. All right. Then eomes yesterday, me asking for a lift innocent-like and copping all this ‘packet of trouble. “I was fair put about I can tell you, especially when you ran me into Sergeant White's ‘ouse. | told the tale as I thought best at the moment deaving out about going any nearer tie big ‘ouse than the end ofthe lane. But last night In the eqll Fad time to think a bit more, and I thought. ‘suppose the Sergeant saw me same time as | seen ’im’, “My Gawd, that put me in a sweat, 4 don’t mind telling you Mister. I eould see meself ‘anging next. So this afternoon I! decided I might as Swell tell the extra bit, and that’s Gawd's own Gospel truth mister if it’s on me death-bed.” END him back to the cells Su- per.” Hylton sa: after a long pause, and when Mr. Alf Durley had been duly disposed of the two police fofficers faced each other. « “Well, what do you make of it?” ‘the Superintendent asked. Hylton shook his head. “I honestly don’t know what to make of it. He “must be lying of course, but why?” ; “Why should he go to all this trouble to lie?” ” “Dammit all that’s just what I'm asking.” some inscrutable reason best known to that strange individual) must be a tissue of lies. Men usually lie from vanity or fright, the Inspector knew. Vanity is a quantity so incalculable that it admits of no reasoning; but if Alf Durley was lying from fright, what was he really frightened of? Hylton sincerely hoped that White did know something about the man, for more, certainly, would have to come to light before they could be satisfied. All this went forward on the surface of his mind; underneath, aided by the feeling of ease conse- quent upon good food and tobacco, was the comfortable thought that when the Durley business was dis- posed of a game of chess with Ser- geant White would be a very pleas- | ant thing. No light was showing in front so the Inspector made his way round to the back. All this, too, was in dark- j ness, rather to his surprise—sur- prise which was increased consider- ably when on making to knock on the kitchen door he found it to be ajar. E FELT certain that the house would hardly be left unlocked with nobody in it and pushing the door wide open he stepped inside and called “White.” His voice ran round the ‘ittle kitchen and died away in the dark interior of the cottage. There was no answer; but the Inspector stand- ing there on the threshold of the dark kitchen got the distinct im- Pression that something moved near him. Once again he called out “White” and once again there was no an- swer; he took an undecided pace into the kitchen to investigate and then abruptly stopped. His step had brought his face into contact with something twixt floor and ceiling which gave at his touch. In complete bewilderment he put up his hand to examine this unexpected object, and found that it swung away from him with a ponderous facility. His fingers encountered the roughness of serge cloth, the smooth roundness of a button. “What the devil—” he muttered to himself and then suddenly stopped in a cold sweat of horror and fear. “God,” he swore stupidly to him- self and without more ado backed away until he hit the kitchen wall and his hand stumbled on the elec- tric light switch. The merciless yellow efficiency lit up the small kitchen. The table had been pushed, or kicked, to one side, and what now adorned the centre of the room was the body of Sergeant James White dependent by a stout piece of rope from a tie rod that ran close to the ceiling. Sergeant James White’s face was not a pretty sight to look at; it was the face of a man who has deliber ately choked himself to death by slow, strangulation—which is what even the most skillful of self hang- ings amounts to. His hands were handcuffed in front of his body. On the kitchen table, weighted down by a long, sharp bread knife lay some sheets of paper, the top one i scribed, “Detective Inspector Kingsley” Hylton.” (Copyright, 1936, Laurence W.
