CHINA COMES IN ENSEMBLES OR CONTRASTS

Grandmother's china all match- ed. If she broke a plate or a cup

The Murder atHazelmoor By AGATHA CHRISTIE

CHAPTER 4

There was a. large kind of cup- board in one corner of the room. It was almost a small room in itself. Here, packed in unceremoniously, were two pairs of skis, a pair of scuils, mounted, ten or twelve flip- popotamus tusks, rods and lines and various fishing tackle including a book of- files, a bag of golf clubs, a tennis racket, an elephants foot. stuffed and mounted, and a tiger skin. It as clear that. when Cap- tain Trevelyan had let Bittuford House furnished,. he had removed his most precious possessions, dis- trustful of female influence.

"Funny ldeas-—to bring all this with him," said the inspector, "The house was let for only a few months, wasn't it? Surely ihcse things could have been locked up at Sittuford House?" ‘

For the second time in the course of thc interview, Evans grinned.

“Thai; would have been much ihe easiest way of doing it," he agreed. “Not that there are many cupboards at Sittaford House. The architect and the cuptillg planned it tu- gether, and it’ takes a. female to understand the value of cupboard room. Still, as you say, sir, that would have been the common tense thing to do. Carting them down here was a job-I should say lt was a job! But there, the captlng couldn't bear the idea of anyone messing around with his things. S0 take ‘em along we did, and as I say, it was a job, and came expensive too. But ther, those things of the captings was like his children."

Inspector Narracott nodded thoughtfully.

“This Mrs. Wlllett," he said casu- ally. “Was she an old friend or ac- quaintance of the captain's,"

"Oh! no, sir, she was quite a stranger to him."

"You are sure of that?" said the inspector, sharply. "I ask because it is a very curious time of year for a let. On ule other hand, if this Mrs. Wlllett was acquainted with Cap- tain Tl-evelyann and knew the house, she might have written to him and suggested taking lt."

Evans shook his head.

“Twas the agents-Wllliamsons» that wrote, said they had an offer from a lady."

Inspector Narracott frowned.,I-Ie found this business of the letting of Sittaford House distinctly odd.

"Captain Treveiyan and Mrs.

Wlllett met, I suppose?" he ask- ed.

"Ohi yes, She came to see the house and he took her over it."

"And you're positive they hadn't met before?"

"Oh! quite, sir."

"Did they——eri’ the inspector paused, as he tried- to frame the question naturally. "Did they get on well together? Were they friendly?"

"The lady was." A faint smile crossed Evans’ lips. “All over him, as you might say. Admlring the house, and asking him if he'd plan- ned the building of it. Altogether laying it on thick, as you might say"

“And the captain?"

The smile broadened.

"That sort of gushing lady wasn't likely to cut any ice with him. Pol- ite he was, but nothing more, And declined her invitations.”

"Invitations?"

"Yes. to consider the house as his own any time, and drop in, that's how she put it-drop ln. You don't drop in to a. place when you're liv- ing six miles away."

"She seemed anxious to-weil-to see something of the captain?"

Narracott was wondering. Was that the reason for the taking of the house? Was it only a. prelude to the making of Captain Trevelyanls ac- quaintance? Was that the real game?

Evans‘ answer was not very help- ful.

"She's a very hospitable lady, by all accounts. Someone in to lunch or dinner every day."

Narracott nodded. He could learn no more here. But he determined to seek an lntevlew with this Mrs, Wlllett at an early date. Her abrupt arrival needed looking into,

"Come on, Pollock, we'll go up- stairs now," he said. They left Evans in the dining-room.

"All right, do you think?" asked the sergeant in a low voice, jerking his head over his shoulder in the direction of the closed dining-room door.

"He seems so," said the inspect- or." But one never knows. He's no dpprfrfrnt-feiiowfwlratevcr clsc lie is, His story seems straightforward enough, Perfectly clear and above board."

And with this pronouncement, very typical of his careful and sus- plcious mind, the inspector proceed- ed to search the rooms on the first floor‘.

There were three bedrooms and a bathroom. Two of the bedrooms room were empty and had clearly not been entered for some weal“, The third, Captain ‘Prevelyan’; own YOOm. was in exquisite and apple- ple order. Inspecto Narmcott mov- ed about in it. opening drawers and cupboards. Everything we; in its right place. ft was the room of a man almost fanatically tidy and neat in his habits. Narracott finish- el his inspection and glanced into the adjoining bathroom. Here, mo, everything was in order. Then in shock his head. -

"Nvthlhl here." he said.

was no; destined to see the major until he had had a protracted inter- view wlth Mrs. Bell licensed proprietor of the Three Crowns. Mrs. Belling was fat and excitable, and so voluble that there was noth- ing to be done but to listen patlenu ly until such time as the stream of eolnersation should dry up.

“Yes, Mr. Narracott," she proceed- ed in answer to his question," the Major is having his breakfast now. You will find him in the coffee- rocm. And what kind of a night he has passed with no pajamas or anything, and me a widow man anything, and me a widow woman say, I am sure. Said it made no matter he did—-a.ll upset and queer he was-and no wndel- with his best friend murdered. Very nice gentle- men the two of them, though the captain had the reputation of being close with his money. Ah, well, well, I have always thought it dangerous to live up to sittaford, miles away from anywhere, and here's the cap- tain struck down in Exhampton it- self. It's always what you don't ex- pect in this life that happens. isn't it, Mr, Narracott?"

The inspector said that undoubt- cdiy it was. Then he added:

"Who did you have staying here yesterday, Mrs. Belling? Any strang- ers?"

"Now, let me see. There was Mr. Moresby and Mr. Jones-commerc- ial gentlemen they are, and there was a young gentleman from Lon- don. Nobody else. 1|; stands to rea- son there wouldn't be this time of year. Very quiet here in the win- ter. Oh, and there was another young gentleman-arrived by the last train. Nosy young fellow, I call him. He isn't up yet.”

"The last train," said the inspec- tor. "Thai; gets in at ten o'clock, eh? I don't think we need trouble our- selves about him. What about the other-—the one from London? Did you know him?"

Not a commercial gentleman, oh, no-a. cut above that. I can't rem- ember his name for the moment- but you'll find it in the "register. Left on the first train to Exeter this morning, he did. Six fen. Rather curious. What did he want down here anyway, thatls what I'd like to know."

"He didn't mention his business?"

"Not a. word."

"Did he go out a1; all?"

"Arrived at lunch time, went out

about half past four and came in

about twenty past six."

"Where did he go when he went out?"

“I haven't the remotest idea, sir. May have been just for a stroll like. ‘Phat was before the snow came, but it wasn't what you might call a pleasant day for walking."

"Went out at half past four and returned about twenty past six," said the inspector thoughtfully. ‘That's rattler odd. He didn't men-

tion Captain Trevelyan?"

Mrs. Belling shook her head de- clsively, -

"No, Mr. Narracott, he didn't mention anybody at all. Kept him- self to himself, he did. A nice look- ing young fe1low—but worried, I should say."

The inspector nodded and step- ped across to inspect the register.

"James Pearson. London." said the inspector. "Well — that doesn't tell us much. We'll have to make a inquiries about Mr. James Pearson."

WHEN A MAN LAYS THE TABLE

It is'very seldom that a man tells us what he really thinks about the way the table at which he takes his meals is arranged. Usually he accepts his wife's taste in the matter unquestloningly.

But does he like it? I wondered

that as I walked round an exhibition of table-setting at which men architects and

designzrs were Irpcnsible for one or two tables each.

Two well-known architects ‘flatly refused from t first to allow any cloth or mats to be used- They were; Wells Coates and Frederick Glbberd, the latter only 2'1 , and therefore very modern in his ideas.

His choice was a set of creamy yellow china with a pale grey flower and a dull red circle. It stands on a walnut table edged with sycamore; the latter wood, like the tweed-covered chairs. harmonising with the collor of tl- - china.

Wells Coates chose "curves?

Round plates and oval dishes wit‘; concentric circles or green and silver stand on a walnut table with rounded‘ edges and curved legs;

WORTH-WHILE “TIPS"

An hotel "boots" recently left $40,000 to be divided among his fellow-workers. l-le had saved the

him by guests. Fortunes like this are by no means rare among peo- pie whose work brings them into close contact with the travelling public.

A certain railway porter decided, early in life. to put by half of the money/he received in gratuities. Within a few years he had accum- ulated enough to set his wife up in a good-class mlllinery business. From the profits the couple have now saved enough to retire.

Cash tips are not so valuable as the financial advice people “in the know" sometimes give as a reward for services rendered. Trusted ser- vants in big houses often benefit by this kind of tip. A peer's butler, who died recently, left £13,000. When he entered his master's ser- vice the butier's savings were small but the peer gave him such valu- able advice about investments that‘ his little nest-egg gradually grew into a fortune.

The luckiest of all tip recipients are liner stewards. One of them recently left £24,000, and a tip of £10 is not uncommon at the end of a few days’ voyage. One steward will look after seven or eight te- bles. and during a year may pick up six or seven hundred pounds in addition to his pay.

The smoke-room steward has an envied job. In addition to any lump sum a. passenger may give at the end of a voyage. the smoke- room steward is frequently told to "keep the change.’

He is not so lucky as formerly, however. Most ships run a daily sweepstake in which the winnerhas to guess the exact distance the ship has run during the day. The pool may amount to hundreds of pounds, and at one time the smoke-room steward was allowed ten per cent of this as a, perquisite. The prac- tice has now been abolished.

Financial advice can be picked up

by any other class. Big men of the financial world are constantly tra- velling to and from Europe. and a word from one of them may be worth a gortune. One steward hap- pened to overhear the name of a particular share that two magnate: were discussing with great earnest- ness. As soon as he landed in Eng- land the steward rushed to a stock- broker and invested all his capital in those shares. The investment turned out asthesteward had hop- ed. and the value of the shares in- creased four-fold within ten days.
