ADVICE TO DALE
HYLTON nodded and rose to hie
.feet. '
"Don't forget you're still under
suspicion; It your story doesn't
check up you'ra In for trouble. Oh
and by the way," be turned at the
door to add bla last words, "I sup
pose It bas ne' r entered your bead
to let a decent girl get bold of you
and try to make something worth
while out of you, bas It?"
"What d'you mean?" asked Dale.
"It any girl had done for me what
Miss Featheratone did for you to
day, Shipley, I'd go down on my
kneea to thank her; but you'ra so
damned egotistical you're blind."
Hylton slammed tbe door behind
him and left a surprised and crest
fallen young man In the drawing
room.
Nancy was waiting In the hall.
"Mr. Hylton," she said Quickly,
as he came towards her, "I want to
apologize for what I did. Please don't
think I'm running away from It, I'm
only speaking personally now."
"Miss Featberstone," he said
gently, "I've been cursed with a most
curious memory. Do you know, I am
beginning to think that I can forget
all about what happened today on
one condition.'' I
1 think you are a fright
fully good sort."
but there was a look about her,
something wild and frightened and
yet horribly triumphant in her eyes.
He was Just about to ask the woman
what she wanted when she shook her
bead. She said nothing, but almply
moved her eyes In the direction of
tbe man who bad just left the room,
and back again to the Inspector nod
ding twice quickly; then she
dropped her detaining fingers from
his arm and noiselessly moved Into
the centre of tbe kilenen.
Hylton hesitated for a moment
and then followed the Sergeant.
"I suppose you hung round the
Hoops most of the day," he said after
he bad lit a cigar and made himself
comfortable.
"A good part of It. I naturally
didn't want to miss you."
"My fault entirely as a matter of
fact I had quite a peculiar day. I
was up at Flelden Cottage early this
morning and the first things I dis
covered there waa that young Ship
ley bad done a bolt."
JAMES WHITE seemed Interested
for the first time that evening.
"Mr. Shipley bolted?" he asked.
"Whatever for?"
"Curiously enough, Sergeant,
that's tbe very question I asked my
self. Do you know anything of Miss
Frances Lawson?"
"The Lodge-keeper's daughter?
"On one condition?"
"Yes. That you go, now, Into that
room, and tell Dale Shipley what
yqu did and why you did it."
Nancy Featberstone stared . at
him; then she turned from white to
brick red. At length she managed to
blurt out:
"I I think you are a (rightfully
good sort."
Klngsley Hylton smiled and went
towards the front door.
"-iOOD evening, Inspector."
vJ Even in his own mentally agi
tated state, It waa on the tip of Hyl
ton's tongue to cry out "Oood Lord,
whst's the matter with your wife?"
Alice White. was standing In a cor
ner of the room, poker-straight
against tbe wall and looking as
-white as death.
"I went to the Hoops at you told
me," Sergeant White said.
"Yes I say, I'm sorry I wasn't
there, as a matter of tact I've had
rather an extraordinary day."
"Y3?"
The -man's voice, wee so entirely
wooden snd uninterested that Hyl
ton glanced up sharply.
"I say," he laughed, "I'm afraid
I have Interrupted tea. I'm sorry."
"That's all right, sir."
A long thin knife on tr-s-tsble
caught Hylton's attention. He picked
It up and said, "That's a useful look
ing sort of knife. Sergeant."
"Perhaps we belter go Into the of
fice," White suggested.
"Rlght-o, let's. There are halt a
dozen things I wsnt to talk about
if Mrs. White will excuse us." He
looked up wltb one of his quick
smiles at the woman who had not
yet said a word; she nodded, snd
when the two men moved across
the room she followed them.
While led the wsy, and the Inspec
tor was half through the doorway
following him when something
plucked at his arm.
He turned to find Alice White
stsndlng there. She ssld nothing,
From what I can hear of her Bho'a
like the rest of women, take up with
any man she can get hold of."
Hylton gave a full account of Dais
Shipley's story, to which White paid
so little attention that the Inspector
was moved to break off and enquire
rather sharply, "You listening, Ser
geant?" "Yes, I'm fistenlng."
"And you think it likely or not?"
"Very likely I should think. Be
sides if Shipley cut and run because
of this murder business he would
hsrdly stroll back a day later, would
he?"
Hylton was forced to admit the
force of thla. "Not unless he'a very
deep," he said. "I went straight ta
the Lodge and was lucky enough to
catch Miss Frances alone. She 'came
clean,' and I must say her yarn fit
ted In In every detail with young
Shipley's." , ,
. "Then.lt looks all right."
"It looks all right, certainly; but
If Dale Bhlpley didn't do It"
"I don't think Dale Shipley did
the murder, Inspector."
"You've said that before, White.
But It Shipley didn't do it, who the
devil did?"
Any answer wss forestalled by the
shrill Insistence of the telephone
bell.
"The super at Morechesler wants
a word with you, sir," White said,
handing the instrument over.
"Damn," Hylton said fervently,
replacing the Instrument after a mo
ment. "They want me to go over to
Morecbester stsrted some hare
brslned theory, I suppose, but I shall
have to go; they're sending a car
to the Hoops."
Sergeant White shut the door
after the departing Hylton and went
slowly Into the kitchen.
He found It as he expected to find
It empty.

Blind Marksman
Struck totally blind at 30 when an
electrlo cigar lighter exploded In his
tace. the Intrepid, late Thomas David
Schall refused to let the handicap
Interfere with his career.
Strange aa It seems. Schall was a
member of the U. S. Congress for 31
consecutive years. After rising to
political prominence In Minneapolis
during his practice of law there, he
was elected to the House of Repre
sentatives In 1914. holding the of
flee until 1929. In the fall of 1034
ha waa elected U. S. eenator and re
tained thla position until hla death
In 10.15 when he waa fatally Injured
by sn automobile.
Senator Schall depended upon his
acute sense of hearing for his amaz
ing ability as a pistol marksman and
horseman.
Standing at a considerable distance
from the target, he had attendants
stand by to tap the bullseye. Basing
his aim on the direction of the
sound he hit the target with uncanny
regularity.
Hla method In leaping hurdles on
horseback waa also dependent on
sound. Oalloplng up to the hurdle,
he gauged hla distance by the noise
of bells and buzzers sounded by at
tendants who were atatloned near
the leap.
British Coins
Aa haa been his prsctlce with so
many of the time-honored English
diatoms. It la reported that Edward
VIII Is seriously considering ending
the alternate profile coin system.
As he parts his hslr on the left.
Edward prefers his left profile and it
Is believed he plana to have that side
of hla head shown on new coins. King
OeorRe V, bis late father, waa shown
In this position on coins of his
reign.
Solomon Islsnds
Alvaro Mendana. Spanish discov
erer of the Solomon Islands, named
them after the wealthy king of Blbl
cal tlmea. in the belief that they con
tained enormous natural rlchea. The
Islanda have never proved to be of
any really great value.
