ANOTHER SNAG
"T THINK one wa love and
the
other net buelness!" said
Frank le. "Caratalrs wai carrying
about the Cayman's photograph (or
a reason. He wanted It identified by
omebody, perhaps. Now listen-
what happens? Someone, the male
Cayman perhaps. Is following blm
and seeing a good opportunity, steals
up behind him In the mist and gives
him a shove. Carstairs goes over the
cliff with a startled fry. Male Oay
man makes off as fast as be can-
he doesn't know who may be about
We'll say that he doesn't know that
Alan Carstairs Is carrying about tbat
photograph. What happens next?
The photograph Is published'
"Consternation In the Cayman
menage." said Roger helpfully.
"Exactly. What la to be done? The
bold thing grasp the nettle. Who
knows Carstairs as Carstairs?
Hardly anyone In tbls country. Down
goes Mrs. Cayman, weeping croco
dile tears and recognizing body as
that of a convenient brother. The two
also do a little hocus-pocus of posting
parcels to bolster up the walking
tour story."
"You know, Frank le, I think that's
positively brilliant," said Roger with
admiration.
"1 think It's pretty good myself,"
said Frankie. "And you're quite
right We ought to get busy on the
track of the Caymans. 1 can't think
why we haven't done so before."
This was not quit true, since
Frankie knew tbe reason quite well
namely, that they bad been on the
track of Roger himself,
"What are we going to do about
Mrs. Nicholson?" she asked abruptly.
"What do you mean do about
her?"
"Well, the poor thing Is terrified
to death. I do think you're callous
about her, Roger."
"I'm not really, but people who
can't help themselves always Irri
tate me."
"Oh, but do be falrl What can she
do? She's no money and nowhere to
go."
"The truth of the matter Is that
you would find something to do,"
laid Roger with decision.
Roger. It was clear, did not like
them helpless. Molra, on the other
hand, clearly did not think very
much of Roger. She had called him
weak and had scouted the possibility
of bis having the guts to murder
anyone.
He was weak, perhaps but un-
denlably be had charm. She had felt
It from the first moment of arriving
at Merroway Court.
Roger said quietly, "It you liked,
Frankie, you could make anything
you chose of a man. . . ."
Frankie felt a sudden little thrill
and at the same time an acute em
barrassment. She changed the sub
led hastily.
"About your brother," she said.
"Do you still think he should go to
the Orsnge?"
"MO," said Roger. "I don't. After
' all. there are heaps of other
places where he can be treated. The
really Important thing Is to get
Henry to agree."
"Do you think that will be diffi
cult?" asked Frankie.
"I'm afraid It may be. You beard
him the other night. On the other
hand, if we just catch him In the re
pentant mood, that's very different.
Hullo here comes Sylvia."
Mrs. Basslngton-ffrench emerged
from the house and looked about
her. Then seeing Roger and Frankie
she walked across tbe grass to
wards them. They could see that
she was looking terribly worried and
strained.
"Roger," she begau, "I've been
looking for you everywhere." Then,
as Frankie made a movement to
leave them "No, my dear, don't go.
Of what use ar concealments? In
any case, I tblnk you know sll there
Is to know. You re suspected this
Mialness for som time, haven't you?"
Frankie nodded.
"While I've been blind blind."
said Sylvia bitterly. "Both of you
saw what 1 never even suspected. I
only wondered why Henry bad
changed so to sll of us. It marie me
very unhappy, but I never sutipected
the reason."
She paused, then went on again
with a slight change of tone.

"As soon as Or. Nicholson told me
the truth, I went straight to Henry.
I've only just left him now." She
paused, swallowing sob. "Roger
it's going to be all right. He's agreed.
He will go to the Orange and put
himself In Dr. Nicholson's hands to
morrow." "Oh, no!" The exclamation came
from Roger and Frankie simultane
ously. Sylvia looked at them, aston
ished. Roger spoke awkwardly. "Do yon
know, Sylvia, I've been thinking II
over, and I don't believe the Grange
would be a good plan, after all."
"You think he can light It by him
self?" asked Sylvia doubtfully.
"No, I don't- But there ar other
places places not so well, not so
near at hand. I'm convinced that
staying In this district would be I
mistake."
"I'm sure of It," said Frankie, com
ing to bis rescue.
"Oh, I don't agree," said Sylvia. "I
couldn't bear to have blm go away
somewhere. And Dr. Nicholson has
been so kind and understanding. I
shall feel happy about Henry's being
under his charge."
"I thought you didn't like Nichol
son, Sylvia," said Roger.
"I've changed my mind." She
spoke simply.
There was a moment's silence. The
position was awkward. Neither
Roger nor Sylvia knew quite what
to say next.
Poor Henry," said Sylvia. "He
broke down. He was terribly upset
at my knowing. He agreed tbat hst
must fight this awful craving for my
sake and Tommy's, but he said I
hadn't a conception of what It meant.
Oh, Roger, It seems so awful! But Dr.
Nicholson was really kind. I trust
him."
All the same, I think It would be
better " began Roger.
SYLVIA turned on him. "I don't
understand you, Roger. Why
have you changed your mind? Half
an hour ago you were all for Henry's
going to the Orange."
Well I've I've bad time to
think the matter over since"
Again Sylvia Interrupted. "Any
way, I've made up my mind. Henry
shall go to the Orange and nowhere
else."
They confronted her In silence.
Then Roger said: "Do you know, I
think 1 will rlngup Nicholson. He
will be home now, I'd like just to
have a talk with blm about matters."
. Without waiting for her reply he
turned away and went rapidly Into
the house. The two women stood
looking after him.
"I cannot understand Roger," said
Sylvia Impatiently. "About a quarter
of an hour ago be was positively
urging in e to arrange for Henry to
go to tbe Orange." Her ton held a
distinct note of anger.
"All the same," eald Frankie, "I
agree with him. I'm sura I've read
somewhere that people ought al
ways to go for a cur somewhere far
away from their homes."
"I think that's just nonsense,"
aid Sylvia.
Frankie felt In a dilemma. Sylvia's
unexpected obstinacy was making
things difficult, and also she seemed
suddenly to have become as violently
pro-Nicholson as she formerly had
been against him. It was very bard
to know what arguments to use.
An airplane passed low overhead
In the gathering dusk, fllllnj the air
with Its loud beat of engines. Both
Sylvia and Frankie stared up at It,
glad of the respite It afforded, since
neither of them quite knew what to
say next. It gsve frankie time to col
lect her thoughts, and Sylvia time to
recover from her fit of sudden anger.
As the airplane disappeared over
the trees and Its roar receded Into
the distance, Sylvia turned abruptly
to Frankie.
"It's been so awful" she said
brokenly. "And you all seem to want
to send Henry far way from me."
"No, no," said Frankie. "It wasn't
that at all."
- At a loss what to say or do next,
Frankie relapsed Into silence. Pre,
ently Roger came out again from the
house. He seemed slightly breathless.
"Nicholson Isn't In yet," he said.
"I left a menage."
"I don't see why you want to see
Nicholson so urgently," said Sylvia.
"You suggested this plan, and It'
all arranged, and Henry has con
sented." "1 think I've got som ssy In the
matter, Sylvia," sal . Roger gently.
"After all, I'm Henry's brother."
You suggested the plan yourself,"
said Sylvia, obstinately. She bit hei
Up, turned away, and went Into th
house.
