Chapter 20
DIt. NICHOLSON
Prank ie attacked Svlvia the fol
lowing morning. She started by ash
lug carelessly:
"What was that man's name you
mentioned last night? Alan Car
stairs, was It? X feel $urc I've heard
that name before."
"I dare say you have He's rather
a celebrity In his way, 1 believe He's
a Canadian a naturalist and big
game hunter and explorer. I don't
really know him. Sou.e friends of
ours, the Rlvlngtons, brought him
down here one day for lunch. A very
attractive man big and bronzed
end nice blue eyes."
"I was sure I'd heard of him."
"He'd never been over to this
country before I believe. Lust jeu.
he went on a tour through Africa
with that millionaire man, John Sa
vage the one who thought he had
cancer and killed himself in that
tragic way. Carstairs has been all
over the world. East Africa, South
America simply everywhere, I be
lieve." "Sounds a nice adventurous per
son." .said Frankie.
"Oh, he was. Distinctly attract
ive." "Funny his being so like the
man who fell over the cliff at
Marchbolt," said Frankie. "I won
der If everyone has tf double."
They compared instances, but
Frankie was careful to make no
further references to Alan CarEtairs,
In her own mind she was quite con
vinced that the victim of the cliff
tragedy at Marchbolt had been Alan
Carstairs. He fulfilled all the condi
tions. He had no intimate friends
or relations ill this country, and his
disappearance was unlikely to be
noticed for some time.
Very good then. The next step
was to learn more about Alan Car
stairs. His' connection with the Bas-sington-ffrenches
seemed to have
been of the slightest. He had been
brought down there quite by chance
by friends. What was the name?
Rivington. Frankie stored it In her
memory for future use.
"I don't want to be poisoned or
knocked on the head.'' she thought
with a grimace. "They were ready
enough to bump off Bobby for prac
tically nothing at all"
Her thoughts flew off at a tangent
to that tantalizing phrase that had
started the whole business. Evans!
Who was Evans? Where did Evans
fit In?
VA dope gang," decided Frankie.
Perhaps some relative of Carstairs
was being victimized, and he had de
termined to bust it up. Evans may
have been one of the gang who had
retired and gone to Wales to live.
Carstairs had bribed Evans to give
the others away, and Evans had con
sented and Carstairs went there to
sec him, and someone followed him
and killed him.
Was that somebody Roger Bass- j
lngton-ffrcnch? It seemed very un-!
likely. The Criymans, now, were far
more what Frankie imagined a gang
of dope-smugglers would be likely to
be.
That evening Dr. Nicholson and
his wire were expected to dinner.
Frankie was finishing dressing when
she heard their car drive up to the
front door. Her windew faced their
way, and she looked out.
A tall man was just Plighting from
the driver's seat of a dark-blue Tal

bot. Frankie withdrew her head
thoughtfully.
Carstairs had been a Canadian. Dr.
Nicholson was a Canadian. And Dr.
Nicholson had a daik-blue Talbot.
Dr. Nicholson was a big man with
a manner that suggested great re
serves of power. His speech was slow
and on the whole he said very 111 -tie,
but he contrived somehow to
make every word sound significant.
He wore strong glasses, and behind
them his very pale bUe eyes glitter
ed reflectively.
His wife was a slender creature of
perhaps 27, pretty, indeed beautiful.
She seemed, Franke thought, slight
ly nervous and chattered rather fev
erishly as though fo conceal the
fact.
"You had an accident. I hear. Lady
Frances," taid Dr. Nicholson as he
took his seat beside her at the din
ner table.
Frankie explained the catastro
phe. "That was too bad.' he said, as
she finished, having peihaps mace a
more detailed story of it than seem
cd strictly necessary. But you seem
to have made a very good recovery.
"We won't admit she's cured yet.
We're keeping her with us," said
Sylvia.
The doctor's gaze went to Sylvia.
Something like a very faint smile
came to his Hps, bur passed almost
immediately.
"I should keep hei with you as
long as possible," he said gravely.
Frankie was sitting between her
host and Dr. Nicholson Henry Bas-sington-ffrench
was decidedly moo
dy tonight. Ills hands twitched, he
ate next to nothing and he took no
part in the conversation.
Mrs. Nicholson, opposite, had a
difficult time with him and turned
to Roger with obvious relief She
talked to him in a desultory fashion,
but Frankie noticed that her eyes
were never long absent from her
husband's face.
Dr. Nicholson was talking about)
life in the country. "Do you know
what a culture is, Lady Frances?"
"Do you mean book-learning?"
asked Frankie, rather puzzled.
"No, no. I was referring to germs.
They develop, you know, in specially
prepared serum. The country, Lady
Frances, Is a little like that. There is
time and space, and infinite leisure
suitable conditions, you see. for
development."
"Do you mean bad things?"
"That depends, Lady Frances, on
the kind of germ cultivated."
Idiotic conversation, thought
Frankie. Why should it make you
feel creepy? Yet it did I She said
flippantly, "I expect I m developing
all sorts of dark qualities."
He looked at her and said calmly:
"Oh no, I don't think so, Lady Fran
ces. I think you would always be on
the side of law and order."
Was there a faint emphasis on the
word law?
Suddenly, across the table Mrs.
Nicholson said, "My husband prides
himself on summing up character."
Dr. Nicholson nodded his head
gently. "Quite right, Molra. Little
things interest me." He turned to
Frankie again. "I had heard of your
accident, you know. One thing about
it Intrigued me very much."
"Yes?" said Frankie, her heart
beating suddenly.
'The doctor who was passing. The
one who brought you in here."
"Yes?"
"He must have had a curious
character to turn his car before
going to the rescue."
'I don't understand.
'Of course not. You were uncon
scious. But young Reeves, the mes
senger boy, came from Staverley on
his bicycle, and no car passed him.
Yet he comes around the corner,

car pointing the same way he was
going towards London.
"You see the point? The doctor
did not come from the direction of

the other way, down the hill. But
in that case, his cai should have

it wasn't. Therefore he must have

erly some time before," said Frankie.
"Then his car would have been
standing there as you came down
the hill. Was it?"
"I don't remember." said Frankie.
"I don't think so."
"You sound like a detective, Jas
per," said Mrs. Nicholson. "And all
about nothing at all."
"Little things interest me." said
Nicholson. He turned to his hostess
and Frankie drew a oieath of relief.
Why had he catechized her like
that? How had he found out all
about the accidentr "Little things
Interest me," he had said. Was that
all there was to it? Frankie remem
bered the dark-blue Talbot and the
fact that Carstairs had been a Ca
nadian. It seemed to her that Dr.
Nicholson was a sinister maw.
She kept out of his way after din
ner, attaching herself to the gentle,
fragile Mrs. Nicholson she noticed
that all the time Mrs Nicholson's
eyes still watched her husband. Was
ir love, Frankie woncered. or fear?
"Well," said Roger after they had
gone, "what do you think of our
Dr. Nicholson? A very forceful per
sonality, hasn't he?"
"I'm like Sylvia, 'said Frankie.
"I don't think I like him very much.
I like her better."

THE GRADUATION
By Mary Graham Bonner
Brown Speck was sitting on a
pond lily leaf and old Prolessw
Big Wings was sitting on an old
stump In the Quackerville pond
Mrs. Quacker was as proud of her
grandson as she could be. 11 wa
time for him to be graduated.
"Brown Speck." said Old Profes
sor Big Wings, "I want to give you
wis piece oi paper on which, in my
best webbed printing, Is engraveu
the fact that you have been gradu
ated from my class."
Brown Speck took the piece of
paper which was made out of a thin
piece of bark and bowed before Pro
fessor Big Wings. Then the Profes
sor offered a foot to shake.
As they did this they both toppled
over Into the pond, but they proved
to oe excellent swimmers.
"Ah, quack, quack," quacked Mrs.
Quacker, "I always say that 1 want
my grandchildren to be good at
sports as well as at studies. See how
Brown Speck can swim I"
After this all the ducks had re
freshments. But Brown Speck became the cen
ter of a fight. He wanted to show he
knew all about bugs by eating as
many as he could and then telling
everyone what kind they were.
uan t you tell without eating.
