EMM SYNOPSIS: Daphne turners, about to marry Robert Rede, tells Robert's daughter Alison that the Guy Wet l urn aha fovea is really a shady physician, Dr. Lumley.

Alison, stunned, consents to accompany hr father and stepmathttr to a remote plnrp in the Pyrenees after their marriage. Chapter 31 GUY AGAIN DAPHNE droned on about nor plans for the honeymoon. "I know the man who runs the place and he told me that there are won derful climbs, and I thought we'd picnic and Alison and I could ex plore them while you played with your plants, Bob." "I'm not sure that I'll come," Robert winked at his daughter. "You haven't said 'thank you' yet!" "I've done something much bet ter," retorted Daphne. "I've made you four whole pounds of those spe cial little nutty chocolates you love! " "Ah!" Robert was rather overact Ing his part, rubbing his hands to gether, smiling at Alison. "I tell you. Daphne's home-made chocolates are something to write home about!" "You're not going to get one yot!" Daphne was arch now. "Walt!" She turned to All eon, "One can't get thing to do was to pretend not to un derstand, not to care! Picking up the evening paper, Alt son held it rather high to bide her fluBhed cheeks as she pretended to read the news. But there were bot tears In her eyes which made the letters dance about and she had to blink twice to drive them back. Suddenly the headlines took shape and meaning, driving all the anger from Alison's head, all the color from her cheeks. "EMPTY HOUSE MURDER," ran the heading. MURDER! For a moment she turned cold. So tragedy had been brewing after all in that old, eerie house! It had not all been fancy! Her eyes ran down, scanning, skipping the print anxiously. "Mrs. Grey, a pretty woman about thirty said 'It was a dreadful experi ence. I went down to get the cellar open for the man delivering coal. I didn't see the body at first, the cel lars are bo dark and It was lying right up at the far end, in the recess under the stairs. "At flrBt, I thought the last ten ant had left Borne clothes behind and then I saw what It was! " 'I screamed so my husband came running. I don't think I shall ever forget, it was so terrible the blood and that awful, grey, hairless face f h. "EMPTY HOUSE MURDER," the heading ran. decent chocolates out In Spain, off! the beaten track. Do tell me, what' kind do you like best? I must make you some. Or do you love nuts, too?" "She loves creams," put In Robert. "Then I'll make a whole box of creams, specially for her," declared Daphne affectionately, "as a pres ent." Alison had an odd sensation of suffocation, as If the too apparent and transparent efforts to placate and Include her were hugo soft older downs which were being pushed down on har until she could hardly breathe. She made' an attempt to smile and speak lightly, "It's I who must think of presents. I must think of one to give to you, Mrs. Sumers " "Daphne, please!" "Sorry, Dnphne. What would you like?" "I'm sure I should love anything you chose." She got up, held out her arm, linked it in the girl's and drew her out of the dining room. "You've your fathor's taste, my dear, which is wonderful. Look what he gave me today these lovely poarl oarrlugs!" "They are awfully pretty!" The girl tried hard to reciprocate the warmth the elder woman showed, but the touch on her arm gave her a physical repulsion that she had never felt with anyone else; "As If she wns a snake," thought Alison. ENTERING the library, she drew away as she said, "I'm afraid I couldn't afford anything as beauti ful as that." Daphne broke Into a ringing penl of laughter. "Afford! You dear, Innocent child! Don't you know that with your ex pectations you could get credit In any shop in London?" "No. I never run bills. "Why should you?" Daphne made that sound mocking. "My dear, how I wish that we were all like you!" Alison turned away. She wns feel ing furiously angry again. Not so easy, after all, to keop one's temper with Daphne, who was always sneer ing covertly, making each attempt to he friendly Into occasion for fresh digs and mocking laughter. The only like a skull and the hands all stiff and without nails! ' "Although the police have not Identified the body, they have a clue and they are anxious to Interview the ownor of a. dark blue, two-seater car which was parked up on the downs above tho house throughout the night of the 25th. The owner of this car, or anyone able to give any Information, Is requested to com munlcato " The paper slid from Alison's hands on to the floor, A dark bluo, two-seater. Guy's car ? Parked all through that night, the night tbnt they had mot! Then he had lied about It being in War ley! And tho grey-faced ma,n whom she had seen was lying dead. Yet Guy had told her told her distinctly that he had seen nothing. A trickle like Icy water rnn down Alison's spine. What had really happened in that lonely houao whllo she lay sleeping upstairs? Had that grey-faced creature which she had soon, with its skull like face and nallless hands been s a ghost? The spirit of a murdered man looking for Justice! For one moment the wild thought assailed her; but ghosts are mere unsub stantial wraiths If they exist at all, and It had taken all her bodily strongth to hold the door ngnlnst the thing outside. Then he was alive that night; had died, been killed She had a sense of guilt as she wondered whethor after all she had done wrong. Per hnps the man had not meant to threaten her, had come upstairs asking for help! Perhaps he had been running away In fonr if she had let him In, he might be alive now! But running from what, from whom ? That wns the question. Thero had been no one In that house except themselves Guy and herself and that grey-faced man. Slowly, Alison sank down on the sofa and picked up the paper again. (Copyright, 10X5 Evrlyn .V. WincM Guy ) dtmnerl by oiroumtUntUI evidence, tomorrow.

"A grey-haired father's son com mitted a horrible crime, for which he must pay a life penalty in impris onment. Seeing him stripped of his civilian clothing and the donning of the prison garb and the shaving of his head, the old gentleman broke Into weeping and, picking up some of the locks, said: 'My God, is this all I have, after an Investment of $10,000 in this son?' Christ looks upon an Indifferent and trespassing world and says, 'Is this all I have after my blooo sacrifice in the su preme effort on Calvary, to rebuild a spiritual and social order?' "It is marvelous, how the under standing Is quickened, when one be comes saved. The book of God be comes an open volume. The divine revelation brings greater Illumination than a career of learning otherwise. "When you take Issue with God, you have committed moral suicide.

In view of the sacrifice of Christ for man's day of redemp tion, man shows the discretion of a consummate fool, who turns Christ down today, to enter Hell tomorrow." The series continues each day, throughout the week, with services at 10 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. Ex-Convict Given Okeh From Landis CHICAGO, June 18. (AP) Judge Kensaw M.
