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.

REDEMPTION DAY
BABCOCK'STOPIG
IN TEN! SERVICE
Dr. C. H. Batocoek spoke to a pack
ed tent Sunday night in the evan
gelistic aeries sponsored by the
Church of the Nezarene, opposite the
Junior hlh school. About 35 ac
cepted Christ, upon confession of
faith, throughout the day.
Speaking on "The Day of Redemp
tion," the evangelist said: "This la
the day of God's condescending mercy.
Emphatically It is man's day of re
demption. The coming of God to the
soul is like the sun, coming from
Its meridian splendor, dispelling all
darkness.
"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.
If you are not saved from aln, you
become a dupe of Hell. Our whole
nation la standing on the vortex of
moral suicide.
"The devil is carrying on his ne
farious traffic and Is damning men
by drovea. 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.
