A search party which failed to find two bodies, already safely burled some where burled maybe trader the floor of an old Spanish kitchen. So neat, so very simple! No won der Daphne had fougbt hard to make her go with them. But even now, now that she knew and was warned, would her father be safe? Even while she lived, Alison thought, there were other ways; Daphne might Induce him to Insure his lite. let If she told her father. Ouy would be charged with murder Dapbne would see to thatl Could he prove his Innocence? Was there sny way to save them both? Must she eboose between them? Guy or her father? With a sudden, brusque move ment, Alison eluded Daphne and stood up. "I don't care what you say. I'm going to the police!" "Oh? About what?" Daphne seemed merely amused. "I'll tell them everything that you got Guy to go down there, that you planned to kill me," Alison was little breathless. "That yon killed your husband." "You've said that twice." There was menses In the slow tone. "I've said nothing, I've made allowances tor your stats of nerves. But twice Is enough. You must have some evl dence, Alison, before you make wild Itatoments of that kind." "He has evidence," swore Alison rashly. "Who?" Dr. Lumley. I think not," Dahpne seemed completely self- possessed. "People don't die, In this country Alison, without a death cer tificate and my husband died of a duodenal nicer. Fortunately, 1 can prove that." She stopped, for Alison was not listening. "There he Is!" A car bad hooted outside. Allsnn darted to the window. But the car which had backed up to the pave ment waa not Guy's, but her fa ther's, and the man who got out and stopped to speak to the chauffeur was Robert himself. Daphne had followed the girl tbelr eyea met. "Well?" Vibrant with triumph. Alison did not answer; she turned away with a sinking heart. Twenty minutes! Where could Guy be? What could bare happened?

"What's happened?" "Just this" Daphne's voice was low. tremulous. "I csn't marry you, Bob. It's off." "My dear What are yon saying?" He took her round the waist, drew her In towards blm. "Dapbne?

This was a new Daphne, this grieving woman who confessed In slow, pained words. "I didn't know the truth then. I thought that Alison was making up all these tales, be cause ahe was hysterical. 1 didn't understand that she had heard some thing about me." Alison, turning, bewildered at this sudden change, met Imploring eyes that seemed to ask her for forglve- nesa as Daphns added softly, sweet ly, "I think you've been rather brave, really, child, to come to me. You see, Bob, she mlght've gone to you first, and I'd have hated that." 'IF you'd tell me what you're talk- Ing about," pleaded Robert. "It's all my fault. Bob. Mine for lying to you. Only 1 was so fright ened, so terrified! If you knew what I'd been through! I ought to have told you everything when I told you about Dr. Lumley." Lumley?" He seised on the one tangible thread. "What's be got to do wltb It?" "Everything." Daphne raised her tear-stained face bravely. "You see, Bob, whst I told you about blm was true. But It wasn't all the truth. He was a doctor, and his practice did go to plecea because of things that people said. But before that when I waa out In Nice with my husband, when Lumley waa still doctoring something etse happened." Her voice trailed off, as It sbe could not go on. "Don't tell me now It you don't want to," he said stoutly. "I don't care what you did or said." "It wasn't my fault! It wasn't, honestly!" It broke from her In a cry of desperation. "I swear to God I never gave blm the slightest en couragement!" "Gave whom?" Alison asked that, sharply. "That man Dr. Lumley." said Daphne simply. "He was attending my husband at the time, he had to come every day, I saw him, natural ly. 1 couldn't help It but I never said a thing to bin to let hln think that. . . ." Her voice faded. Strength ened suddenly with Indignation "It waa simply taking sdvantage of his position!" "Are yon trying to say " Alison began, starting forward but her fa ther cut her short. "Shut up! 1 want to hear what Daphne has to tell me!" And Daphne went on firmly. "Dr. Lumley made love to me or tried to and I snubbed him. of course. I told him that I'd tell my husband snd get another doctor." "That seemed to frighten him. 1 thought I'd get him to be sensible." Dnhpne declared. "And then oh, Bob. It was only by the merest chance I found out what he'd donel He'd told the matron of the home, the nurse, everyone, that I waa poi soning my husband!" "That's sn shaolute He!" But Alison's father crushed her with a look. "My poor darling." he sympathized, patting his fiancee's arjn. "Can you Imagine anything more mean more utterly beastly?" There was s broken sob In Daphne's voice, "It was the nurse who told me. She knew that I'd simply lived In bis room, looked sfter him In every sort of way. cooked things for him my self because the French cook didn't know how to rook them as he liked, sat up half ths night, done every thing.
