Murder could liot iiili E

have been searching in connection with the murder last Tuesday oi Sherwood Lee Dexter, the American millionaire, was ‘traced early this morning to the premises above "The Man With a Scythe." a public house in the Paddington district. When the police arrived. however, he had gone, having apparently re- ceived warning oi their coming. Interrogations are proceeding, and an, early arrest is expected."

This item in the stop-press ‘ oih_is .._.r ‘,‘to Robin Foster's eyes as he sat at breakiast, the ioliowing morning:

Sudde ' , in an instant. all his vague d bts and tears crystallized. Could it possible. that Laurette

had known Brett was in hiding in “The Man With a scythe"? Was it she who had warn hl.m that the police were .on his ck? Then he tossed aside the newspaper and laughed at the ioliy or his mental indictment. His suspicions dis- sipated themselves again—los:. shape, as reilections in a quiet pool lose shape when the wind mines its suriace. More probably it was she who had iniormed the police when Brett was hiding.

And yet. . . He reached ior the newspaper and stared at the words. Why had she not told him last night? Why on earth should she maintain secrecy on such a matter? Especially, in the circumstances. with him? .I-Is became increasingly puzzled and worried, and ieit he could not rest until he had seen Laurette Dexter and received an explanation irom her.

When he called at her house he learned that she had not yet breakiasted.

Fiiteen minutes ptssed beiore Laurette ‘escend ‘ to the morning room where Robin. harassed With anxiety, awaited her impatiently.

She too, appeared worried, he thought, and to his astonishment she was slightly irigid in her at- tltude.

"I simply had to come along to see you." was his opening remal-.:.

"Yes?" she returned. “Do please sit down. won't you."

He noticed that she passed a hand wearily across her brows, closing her eyes as though in pain.

“Aren't you ieeling well?" he asked sympathetically. ’

“oh, I'm all right. I didn't mean to sleep so long this morning. that's all. I am rather annoyed with my- sell-1 have so much to do. I have a slight headache-—an oi thing ior me."

“Would you rather I come back later? Actually I want to speak to you rather urgently," he said.

“Ii it is important. you had bet- ter tell me now."

"You have seen the news—he~ml they are deiiniteiy aiter Brett?"

she looked at him coldly, nodded, but made no other reply.

"You don't seem as pleased as I would have expected," he continu- ed. slightly irritated. .

“Pleased is hardly the word. You surely don't expect me to register delight over the thought that a human being is--is likely to be . .,..

She spoke in level tones, but there was an undercurrent almost oi suppressed hysteria in her voice.

"Sorry. I hardly meant it in that way." he returned. "although alter all, there's no need to be squeamish about the matter. Brett deserves all he gets, it seems to me. Consider the circumstances. The iellow shut your lather. Surely you need was:e no sympathy on him."

"can we be sure that he did?"

His eyes widened in blank amaze- ment.

"I say," he said slowly. “that's a hit of a bombshell conﬂng from you. You've never even guessed such a thing beiore. Nor has any- one else. Oi course he's the man who did it. Who else could have done it when we consider all the iacts?"

"I admit it seems so. But what ii that gun had been stolen irom him and used by someone elsei Some- one who had taken mighty good care not to leave the impression oi or his own iingerprints on it?" she asked the question challengingly.

"I hadn't co idered that pos- sibility." he re rted. "although- yes. I do now remember it was sug- gested by Inspector West that the pistol might have been laid in the car deliberately. I hadn't thought it necessary. You yourseii know that some old grievance ex- isted between Brett and your lather. The case against him seems stag- geringly clear."

She shook her head. "Has it not struck you." she par- ried quietly. "that it is strange

ing every brooklet that carries the melting snow from the iields and woodlands on the slopes, it rushes the swollen waters to the river be- low. We think now that Mr C. from the house on the hill will be about with his lantern tonight lilting boards irom the gates on the dam and James hearing in the old kl‘.- chen or perhaps in the room above by this, the “noise or many waters" will lay a plan or two ior the seedtlrne now in the oiilng. It was to provide “seed ior the sewer" the threshing-gear was hauled this evening irom storage at the other iarm, in order that the spring threshing may be presently taken up. Pard was a muddy iellow but plainly buoyant in spirit as he ran in advance oi the team. pausing to look back towards the iarmers. to be certain which way their path led, And obviously pleased with the outing. "Isn’t this lovely?" his ct.- titude said “here we are again-oil’ to bring the gear home ior the Spring threshing!"

Sunny skies-Mayilowers' waking- the streams in ireshet-and to- morrow. it all goes well, the thresh-

ing. Until tomorrow-Diary-—Cvoucb night. '

Scotland Yard has been unable to discover the slightest trace oi the automobile which Ruius Brett is supposed to have used to overtake ours? A car. remember. you your- seli saw. but can't describe in any way accurately. It is more or less proved that he could not own an auto—a car. .Yet your police have not been able to trace that he even hired one. They have combed every hiring agency and garage in Lon- don wlthout results. 'rhe're terribly slick on these things here."

"It isn't tliiiioult to iind a rea- sonable explanation oi that." Robin countered. “Maybe whoever he hir- ed it irom was in the game with him. and naturally they've kept mum; or it may have been a priv- ate car borrowed irom a private individual. You remember that in- spector chap suggested he would probably have pals." ’

"The man I saw wore a small English soit hat and had a white scar! wrapped around his iace. when Brett came to Mr. l..essim_r's house that night he had a dis- tinctively American hat and no scari."

“Don't you think you may be mistaken about the hat?" "Maybe, but-—well. 1 just ieel

that the man who ca.me into our car hadn't a hatlike Brett's. And I'm sure about the scari."

“That doesn't take you very iar." Robin almost smiled. "He would leave his scars in the car. I ex- pect. '

"True enough. oi course one can really iind explanations ior any- thing. I suppose." I

she spoke in despondent tones and again passed a hand over her eyes. The she said more briskly:

"But he did telephone here just around the time oi the murder. as he said he did. That also is true. It has been checked. Now, why should he have done that? It doesn't seem at all like the action oi a man who had just committed such a ieariul crime."

“You know Scotland Yard's ex- planation. A ieeble endeavour to provide an alibi. The sort oi iutile imbecility. in short. that would oc- cur to a man whose mind was ind- dled with drink. or dope."

"Dope! lhractlyi" iaurette claimed almost triumphantly.

"Eh?" ejaculated Robin. staring at her. As he remained silent he continued seriously:

"Miss Dexter. I irankly cannot understand what has happened to. you. What on earth has made you -suddenly swing over like this? You have never suggester any or these doubts to me beiore. or to anyone else so far as I know. Don't you

ex-

want the creature to be caught? After all, it was your iather..son_v to be so very personal, but even in the matter or his will. isn't it to your advantage? You well know the main condition oi that Will." ' tiaaed
