PAOE TTTN tsYSOPtllB: Bobby Jonee and tjOttu b'rancee Uerwent, better known a Frankie, have dectdi'd that lloger Daeeimiton-llrench te the man who tmehed Alexander Pritchard over the ctlff at March, bolt, and killed htm.

Chapter 19 ALAN CARSTAIRS YOU'D better call her Frankie I do," aald Sylvia. "Un't It odd how whenever ope talks of any per son or thing, somebody else does the same Immediately afterwards?" "They are Canadians, sren't they?" Inquired Frankie. "He Is. certainly. I rather fancy she Is English, out I'm not sure. She's a very pretty little thing quite charming, with the loveliest big wistful eyes. Somehow or other I fancy she Isn't terribly happy. It must be a depressing life. "He runs a kind of sanitarium, doesn't ho?" "Yes, nerve cases and people who take drugs. He's very successful, I believe. He's rather an Impressive man." It must be a depressing life." "Yon like him?" I "No," said Sylvia abruptly. "I don't" And rather vehemently, after a moment or two, she added, "Not at all." Later on, she pointed out to Frankie a photograph of a charm ing, large-eyed woman which stood on the piano. "That's Molra Nicholson. An ap pealing face, Isn't It? A man, wbo came down here with soma frlenda of oura soma time ago was quite struck with It. He wanted an In troduction to her, I think." She laughed. "I'll ask them to dinner to-morrow night. I'd Ilka to know what you think of him." "lllra?" "Yes. As I told you. I dislike him, and yet he's quite an attractive looking man." Something In her tone made Frankie look at ber quickly, but Sylvia Basslngton-ffrencb hsd turned away and was taking some deed flowers out of a rase. "T MUST collect my ldoas," thought Frankie as ahe drew a eomb through her thick dark hair when dressing for dinner that night "And," she added resolutely, "It's time I made a tew experiments." Was, or was not, Roger Basslngton-ffrencb the villain she and Bobby assumed him to be? "Mem.," wrote Frankie on a aheet of paper. "One And out where Rog er waa on the 16th day when Bobby was poisoned." She thought she saw her wsy to doing that fairly clearly. "Two," ahe wrote. "Produce pic ture of dead man and observe re actions. It any. Also note whether R.B.F. admits being In Marchbolt then." She felt slightly nervous over the second resolution. It meant coming ut into the open. On the other hand the tragedy had happened In her own part of the world, and to mention It casually would be the most natu- rsl thing In the world. She crumpled up the sheet of paper and burnt It She managed to introduce the ftrel point fairly naturally at dinner. "You know," she said frankly to Roger, "I ran't help feeling lhat we've met before. And It wasn't very long ago elWier. It wasn't, by tny chance, at that party of Lady r OF SEWAGE PLANT A new electric distribution ytm. employing all therms! disconnects in stead of the conventional fuses, is now on display at tlte Peoples Elec tric store. riVntined tor ue In the MM ford sewite divrnftl plant now under const n;rt ion.

On the 16th It was." "It couldn't hare been on the 16th," said Sylvia quickly. "Roger was here then. I remember, be cause ws had a children's party that day, and what I should have done without Roger, 1 simply don't know." She gave a grateful glance at her brother-in-law and be smiled back at her, "I don't feel I've ever met you before," be said thoughtfully to Frankie and added, "I'm euro. If I bad, I'd remember It." He said II rather nicely. "One point settled," thougbt Frankie. "Roger Basslngton-ffrencb was not In Wales on the day that Bobby was poisoned." The second point came up fairly easily later. Frankie led the talk to country places, their dullness, and the Interest aroused by any local excitement. "We bad a man fall over the cliff last month," she remarked. "We were all thrilled to the core. I went to the Inquest full of excitement, but It was all rather dull really." "Was that at a place called March bult?" asked Sylvia suddenly. Frankie nodded. "Derwent Castle Is only about seven miles from Marchbolt." she explained. "Roger, that must have been youi man!" cried Sylvia. rRANKlE looked Inquiringly al mm. I was sctually In at the death." said Roger. "I stayed with the body till the police came." I thougbt one of the Vicar s sons did that" said Frankie. He had to go off to play the organ or something so I took over." How perfectly extraordinary!" said Frankie. "I did hear somebody else had been there too, but I never heard the name. So It was you." There was a general atmosphere of "How curious! Is'nt the world small?" Frankie felt she was doing this inther welL "Perhaps that's where you saw me betore in Morchbolt7" sug gested Roger. "I wasn't there actually at the time of the accident," said Frankie. I came back from London a couple of days afterward. Were you at the Inquest?" 'No. I went back to London the morning sfter the tragedy." 'He had some abaurd idea of buy ing a house down there," said Sylvia. Roger laughed. Then he turned to Frankie. "Any polnta of Interest about the accident? It didn't turn out to be suicide or anything?" "Oh, no, It was all painfully above board, and some appalling relations came and Identified the man. Did you aee his picture in the papers?" "I think I did," said Sylvia vague ly. "I've got a cutting upstairs from our local paper." Frankie ran npstlra and cams down with the cutting In her hand. "Don't you think he's good-looking?" Frankie demanded. "He Is, rather." said Sylvia. "He looka very like that man Alan Car stairs." "He's got quite a look of him here," agreed Roger. "But there wasn't much real resemblance, you know." Frankie went to bed undecided. Everyone aeemed to have reacted with perfect naturalness.
