SYXOt-tilH: Much to the disap pointment of Lady France Oer went, the inquest over the body u-hich Bobby Jones antt Dr. Thom as found at the bottom of a ellfj indicated that the man simply had fallen over, lie is identified by o ilre. Cayman at Alexander Pritch ard, her broth the verdict of the jury is that the u-holt thing it an accident, and Hobby'e only pusele ie that Mrs. Cayman looks so little like the photograph he had s'en in the dead man's picket, b'rankie de el' res she was disappointed there was no murder done. Chapter SeTen SNUBBED "IIIIAT blooiltSlrBty 'mtlncls you ' have, Frankle," Bobby Bald. "I know. It's probably atavism (however do you pronounce It? I've never been sure). Don t you think eo? I'm sure I'm atavistic. My nickname at school was Monkey Face." "Do monkeys like murder?" Que ried Bobby. "You sound like a correspondence In a Sunday paper," said Frankle. " 'Our correspondents' views on this subject are solicited.' " "You know," said Bobby, reverts log to the original topic, "I don't agree with you about the female Cayman. Hor photograph was love ly." "Touched up, that's all," Inter rupted Frankle. "Well, then, It was so much ' touched up that you wouldn't have known them for the same person." "You're blind," said Frankle. "The photographer bad done all that the art of photography could do, but It was still a nasty bit of work." "I absolutely disagree with you," Bald Bobby coldly. "Anyway, where did you see It.'" i "In the local 'Evening Fcbo.'" "It probably reproduced badly." "It stems to me you're absolutely batty," said Frankle crossly. "Over s palnted-up raddled hussy yes, I said hussy like the Cayman." "Frankle," said Bobby, "I'm sur pilBod at you. In the Vicarage drive, too. Semi-holy ground, so to speak." "Well, you shouldn't have been so ridiculous." There was a pi.use, then Frankle's sudden fit jf temper abated. "What Is ridiculous," she said. "Is to quarrel about the damned woman. I came to suggest a round of golf. What about It'" "0. K., Chief," said Bobby hap pily. THEY set off amicably together, and their conversation was of such things as slicing and pulling and bow to perfect a chip shot onto the green. The recent tragedy passed quite out of mind until Bobby, holing a long putt at the eleventh to halve th6 hole, suddenly gave an exclama tion. "What Is It?" "Nothing. I've Juat i ' ered Bomothlng." , "What?" "Well, these people, the Caymans they came round and asked If the fellow had said anything before he died and 1 told them he hadn't." "Well?" "And now I've Juat remembored that he did." "Not one of your brightest morn tngs, In fact." "Well, you see, It wasn't the sort of thing they mount. That'a why, I suppose, I didn't think of It" "What did he say?" asked Frankle curiously. "He snld: -Why didn't they ask Evans?'" "What a funny thing to say. Noth ing else?" "No. He Just opened his eyes and Bald that qultt suddenly and then died, poor chap." "Oh, well," said Frankle, turning It over In her mind, "I don't ace that you need worry. It wasn't Impor tant." "No, of course, not. Still 1 wish I'd Just mentioned It. You see, 1 said he'd said nothing at all." "Well, It amounts to the same thing," said Frankle. "I mean It Isn't like 'Tell Ulayris I always loved her,' or 'The will Is In the walnut bureau, or any of the proper romanllo Last Words thore are In books." "You don't think It's worth while writing about It to them?" "I shouldn't bother. It couldn't be Important." "1 expect )uu're right," said Bob by and turned his atlenllon with re sowed vigor to the game. Uul ih mtittor did not really dls miss llsnlf from his mind. It was a small polni but It trolled him. He felt very faintly uncomfortable about It. Frnnklo s polnl of view was he felt sure, (he right and sensible one.
