Ouy ia alao explaining eome contradiction i the etory he told Allaon about him acl. And thia atory pointa to the fact that Daphne Sumere, mho ia about to marry Aliaon'e father, ia the woman who polaoned the hue band tuat ahead of Mr Rede Ouy una a practicing physician on the Jtivlera and caught Daphne in the murder almnet. Chapter ZS POISON PEN fTT7ELL," Guy went on, "about a ' 'month later. 1 began to And my practice vanishing. Patients who bad been seeing me every day wrote and said they felt they'd Ilka another doctor; people 1 met began to look at me In a (unny sort ol way, and 1 found myself being cut In tbe street. "1 stood It as long as 1 could and then 1 got hold of a man 1 knew quite well and asked him what bad happened. He told me that there was a most scurrilous story going round about me and a young Ameri can girl called Trevor who had dis appeared. "1 went to the French police, of course; they tracked the tale borne to some anonymous letters which bad been sent to my patients. But. though they did their best, tbey couldn't trace the writer. And that wasn't the worst! I was asked to leave the club. "My dear!" Alison's eyes were full of sympathy. "How awful for you!" "Not too nice was It?" be con curred. "Anyway, 1 soon saw that 1 wasn't getting a living any more; 1 couldn't even sell my practice for a fifth of tbe aum 1 gave. 1 bad to clear out 1 came borne here to Eng land and 1 put Scotland Yard on to tracing tbe letters. But by then tbe trail was cold and they failed. An old friend of mine, Dundas, let me stop with him and help a bit in re turn for my board and I'd one con solation, anyway; 1 was doing good work again, where It was needed." He waa silent for a few seconds, looking straight out before blm. His clear, light eyea came down slowly and rested on her face. "You know, I'm not sorry, now! 1 mean, that It happened." He was smiling at her. "If It badn't, I'd be out there now!" "Rather a big price to pay!" said Alison. "Not too big." . "Not?" "No! Not a bit I didn't know that anyone could be as much In love as I am with you!" . "Are you?" She knew It, yet was pining to bear him say so. "You know 1 am. Utterly. Wben X thought I'd lost you, yesterday. I went nearly crazy." "So did 1." It was half a whlspor. "Directly the door shut 1 was sorry. I wanted to tear after you down tbe streot. "Did you?" "Mmm ..." The clock struck the bait hour. A very fat man with a scowl snd a rolled newspaper, waiting for his lunch, glowered Impatiently at the two who sat at tbe corner table. He muttered grumpily, "Indecent. I call It!" and looked at his watch. A young clerk, looking for a tree cbalr, caught at the back of one by Alison's table, looked down, raised bin eyebrows and went elsewhere wearing a very wide grin. Totally unconscious that anyone bad even looked at them, Guy and Alison drifted back Into their Inter rupted conversation. " rOU begin to see how it was?" 1 "1 think so," she said. "But I don't quite understand where tbe bouse at Warley came in." "I'll tell you that In a minute. More coffee? No? A clgarot? Don't you? Just aa well? We shan't be able to afford It!" Alison turned so bright a pink that it clashed with the red ribbon on her bat "Be quiet! Someone'U hear you!" "Let 'em." snld Guy briefly. "What was 1 saying? Oh. yes. Warley. It was like this. I'd given up sll hope of finding out who'd sent those let ters, though 1 felt pretty certain in my own mind that It was this wo man, I told you about I didn't know anyone else who would hate me enough. "Then one day 1 was putting through a phone call at that little restaurant where we went In Soho It's run by a patient of mine and I often go there when 1 saw those two at th very next table. The wo man and the fellow she got mixed up with In France the gigolo." I OPEN BY JULY 1 Superintendent David H. Ctntield of Crater Lk national park, who hu returned from a few days spent at the lafcf, preparatory to movtne there for the ummer, announced that Ahovellrm the mow from the trail to the water' edge hu begun, and will probably be completed by July 1. at which time boat Wflce will commence. The trail to fl'.nnott Memorial Is now open, he aald, and park naturalists are buy Installing parapet display cases In thli acinic vmtit?e point. The rim road is open for a quarter mile to the north aide at Cloudi'ap Superintendent Canfield reported, afldinjir that for the benefit of tour ing who are uninformed, the eiat entrance road from The Dalle-Cll-fornla highway la now open to Km Note h , sit ua td on the lake rt m whence cars must backtrack to the Lost Creek junction In order to pro ceed to park headquarters and the What waa be like?" Alison brokt In. "The man? Dark, Spanlsh-looklm that's why I asked you the othei day." She asked breathlessly, "What was bis name?" "Called himself de Gouy she was a Mrs. Poynter." "Daphne Poynter?" "Yes. How do you know?" "I'll tell you later, said Alison. "Go on!" "Well, anyway, they were having a most awful row. One could hear 'em half across tbe restaurant She was calling blm every name under the sun because he hadn't married ber after ber husband's death. He waa a nasty bit of work and ha sim ply sat and shrugged bis shoulders and sneered and told her that, if she wanted blm she'd better get some money. "He told ber that It she hadn't been a fool, abe'd have known about her husband having an annuity. She was obviously dreadfully In love with the fellow and halt off ber bead and 1 rather hoped she might say something that would give ma a clue. Unfortunately, she looked up and aaw me. "She went about as white as that menu and shut up as If she'd lost her tongue and 1 aaw the man look round at me. Then a waiter came up and told me that be'd put through my call and that Dundaa was on the telephone and wben J got back they'd both gone. But for that 1 might have followed them. That was about six weeks ago. And 1 beard nothing more at all until tbe other night, tbe night that 1 met you." " A BOUT six o'clock that evening, 1 was In tbe surgery and 1 got t phone call. 1 couldn't place the voice at all. It might have been a man's or a woman's, it bad a sort of whistling sound In It as If tbe person bad got aathma." "Talking through a comb," sug gested Alison. "1 badn't tbought of that! You're probably right," be agreed. "Any way, the person said that If 1 waa at tbe Croft House, Warley, Sus sex, at. eleven-thirty, punctually, that night, 1 would meet tbe writer of the anonymoua letters. "So 1 left London that night di rectly I was done with my last case, got down Just before eleven and parked my car right up on tbe downs. Tben 1 walked down to tbe bouse aa quietly as 1 could, found a good spot Just across the road and lay down to wait You see, 1 guessed the person'd turn up to wait for me, since the bouse looked empty and I meant to have a look at 'em first. But then I saw a light moving Inside the house " "My light!" "Yes. So 1 started to get Into the garden and Investigate, wben I saw someone climbing In through the open window. So I tbought it'd be a good Idea to climb In too, and sur prise 'em, aa they'd be expecting me to arrive by the door. Anyway, I got In and the next thing I knew was your hand In my face and a terrlflc yell." Alison look at him curiously. "But why didn't you tell me right off? 1 mean your name and why you were there?" "Because 1 was such a complete and utterly blind fool that 1 thought that you might have something to do with it!" "With the anonymous letters?" "Yes. Or the telephone call. 1 felt In my bones that you were telling me the truth, ot course, but well, I didn't know whst they were play ing at, and 1 didn't mean to be caught That's why I couldn't tell you I'd a car and take you Into War ley and that's the reason 1 wanted you to wait upstairs. 1 didn't mean them to catch us together. You see, those letters bed practically ac cused me of causing the Trevor girl to disappear and 1 tbought they might be trying It again. I tell you, 1 was a blind fool!" ' "Not a bit," contradicted Alison. "1 think It waa rather natural after what you'd been through." "Not to anyone who'd seen you," retorted Guy. "1 ought to have known but anyway, that's what I did think. So when you were In bed 1 went through all the drawers In that desk, to see If I could And out who owned the bouse."
