ainuationa. Guy says ha la an archi

doctor from the Riviera. They tire
perturbed by a newapaper atory
telling of the finding of a body in
Daphn' Sussex house.
Chapter 29
"I'M A DOCTOR"
BUT Alison could not suifU t the
grim Joke; she was staring down
it the paper dazedly as she repeated,
"How could anything be there?"
"I tell you, there must be some
way In and out, some way we didn't
And," said Guy.
"You mean, you don't think that
It happened the night we were
there ?"
"No, I don't. It's stark Impossible.
We'd have seen a dead kitten, let
alone a man's corpse, even apart
from the fact that we were looking
for the ghost. And there wasn't any
thing there when you went down
next morning."
"I didn't look right round," admit
ted Alison. "I only went straight
through to turn the light off, but
even then "
"Even then, you'd hardly have
missed a body! There's a picture of
the house, by the way, on the mid
dle parte."
She opened the paper and looked;
It was impossible to mistake the
houtie. The great fold of the downs
on one side, the drop into the valley
on the other and the road that wound
past the two gates, it was queer and
rather horrible to look at It again
and realize that those dark, eerie
cellars held a dead man.
Alison shuddered. The memory of
the grey thing outside the door, of
those two nail-less hands reaching
towards her, was still too poignant
to be comfortable. The traffic had
started again and they were running
down Piccadilly towarda Regent
Street aa she said, "I don't know
what my father's going to think
when he sees this."
"Your father?"
"Yes. You aee " she paused, won
dering how she could put it. "I told
you that he bad some silly Idea In
his head that there was something
funny about you It'a her fault
really."
"Your stepmother's?'
"Yes. You aee, she's been making
mischief again." Alison grew hot
and red. "She bates me and ahe
wants to make trouble, that's all. So
she hit on this because ahe knew H'd
hurt me because we were friends."
She ended that sentence rather
quickly.
"You mean she tried to atop you
soiling me?"
"She got father to forbid me,"
"Now?"
"Yes. But I told him point blank
that I was coming. You aee I had to
aee you."
"About the thing you rang up
labout last night?"
"Yes."
Piccadilly waa torn np; they were
following the stream of cars that
circulated slowly by Jermyn Street. I
Alison, her eyes on the 'bus ahead,
gave him a brief account of her visit
to Kulham. She had reached that
Imoment when she looked Into the
lighted room, when he stopped her.
J" JUST one moment Can you tell
; J what this fellow was like?"
"The man who was kissing her?"
"Yes."
'11e was dark. Foreign looking.
'Not quite French or anything like
that. Mora like Italian."
"Or Spanish?"
"Yes. Or Spanish," she agreed.
"Very straight features, very nar
row head, a little black moustache,
eyebrows that met level across bis
aosp?"
"You know him?" Alison ex
claimed. "Yea. I think so. Go on." He
seemed nervous now, wrought up
and breathless.
"There wasn't snythlnjc more. I
Just went as quirk as I could.
"Did you speak shout It to her?
Or to your father?''
"Not in so many words. It seemed
too like"
"Spying." he flnfuhed.
Alison nodded.
"So she doesn't know at si that
you've got this on her?"
"No."
He was silent a minute, thinking
deeply, driving at a hand's psce.
then putting down the hrske, and
she had time to look at him, think
ing, "I love him even when be
frowns like that." He looked up sud
denly and caught hrr glance.
For an Instant neither spoke but
be cAUght in his breath sharply aa
one doea who marvels, and a dark!
red flush spread slowly up bis race.
Their eyea were on each other, say
ing amazing, wonderful things. Then
their hands met They sat like that
held by the miracle of It
"Alison?"
The traffic signal lifted. His hand
dropped hers and leaped hack to the
wheel. They turned out and to the
left into Lower Regent Street
"I'm sorry. I'd no right to do that"
He spoke in a very low and husky
tone, much moved.
"I don't see wby not," said Alison.
"I I did too."
'All the same, I'd no right to," he
insisted. "I didn't mean to tell you. I
suppose you knew I felt like that
about you."
"I guessed," ahe admitted.
"I couldn't help It, could I?" he
smiled at her rather whimsically. "I
fell In love with you the very flrat
minute, when you got so cross with
me."
"On all fours on the pantry floor!"
Alison's laughter waa full of sheer
happiness.
"Yea! You looked so adorable. So
furious!"
"I waa rabid with you!"
"I know. You nearly bit my head
off."
"You deserved It!
"For atopplng you yelling?"
"For pinching my nose!"
"What else could I do? I'd got to
stop you somehow. I didn't want
them to hear and ask what I waa
doing there" He stopped suddenly.
A LISON looked np, surprised;
they were turning Into Glass
house Street.
"Them to hear?" she repeated,
"but there was no one."
It happened so suddenly that ahe
had no tlmo to think. A grubby little
girl of about four, darting from a
doorway almost beneath their
wheels the car swerving violently,
missing the child, crashing Into a
lamp-post, which bmt, hitting the
top. Scared, the child Jumped back.
The off-wheel of a truck coming up
behind them, took the little thing
and flung It up into the air.
"Oh!" Alison's hands went to her
eyes, shutting out the picture as the
child fell, hitting the roadway. When
she lookod back the truck had run
up onto the walk.
The driver, white and sick-look-log,
was climbing out. A crowd had
gathered as crowds do In London,
springing from nowhere; a knot of
shocked and curious loafers, a mes
senger boy, a woman who waa cry
ing and trying to push hr way
through. Guy was out of the car,
running across the road and Alison
scrmnbllng out, followed.
"Truck knocked down a kid," said
a greasy looking man Importantly.
Guy pushed him aside.
"All right. I'm a doctor." He
droppod on his knees beside the
fallen child and the crowd, press
ing round, shut him off from Alison.
Some minutes later, when the am
bulance had carried away the child,
bruised and cut hut not seriously
the worse, Guy brushed down his
mudrilnd trouser knees and looked
round for Alison.
She was gone.
A doctor!
Then he had been lying lying
when he told her that he was an
architect, down there to look at the
Croft House."
That was Alison's first numbed
thought as she stood In the road on
the outskirts of the thickening
crowd which surrounded Ouy and
the child.
A pack of lies; but why should be
He unless the story which Daphne
told was true?
'I won't believe ltl I don't believe
that he's the same man. anyway.
she thought fiercely. "There must
be some other reason perhaps it's
Just that he's had training In first
aid or something."
A hell rang shrilly bahtnd bar and
she was swept aside by the crowd
on the pavement aa the ambulance
drove up and two men In the white
and blue of St John's sprang out
For an Instant, as the crowd parted
Into a narrow lane, she caught a
glimpse of Guy, on his knees, the lit
tle girl, with closed eyes and white
face, resting in the crook of his left
arm; then the solid wall of bodies
closed back and she was moved
again by a policeman who waa try
ing to keep the road clear.
The two men from the ambu
lance carnn out. carrying the child
an a stretcher; Guy was Just behind
them with another policeman who
was taking nolns, while beside him
the driver of the lorry, white and
shaky, kept repeating. "This gentle
man saw me 'twasn't my fault
In an sgltated and monotonou
squeak.
