Eileen learn accidentally that Joyc recently tried to buy tome of the druf that killed Clarice. Deniie. too, diacoven thii and bint to Eileen that ahe'll'tell the police unleu Eileen break ber engagement to Felix. CHAPTER XXITI AT ABOUT the time that Orogan and Manning were having their late lunch In a downtown restaurant. Denise was talking to Felix In her room. She had gone and knocked at his door and told blm she wanted to see him. He bad followed her fn here un willingly. Now, me wai telling blm about Joyce ! attempt to buy Seconal a lew day before Clarice' death. "It must nave been Joyce." he concluded. "She wore my necklace one day last week, and the druggist described it accurately. 1 hate to tell you this. Felix I know what shock It oust oe to you but the implication is obvious." Felix was visibly upset. "There's gome other explanation. Maybe Joyce did try to ouy the stun", out that doesn't prove anything. Why It's Incredible that she nad any thing to do with with Clarice s death! Looking at It cold-bloodedly, look what she loses oy it. Clarice gave ner everything she wanted, showered her with luxuries, but now she'll get only measly two hundred pounds a year." "Perhaps she wanted to get away from Rockwater lust as you did." rnte said auletly. "And she knew that Clarice would try to prevent it would stop giving her money U she left." "That's a mighty weak motive lor murder." Felix scoffed. "Be sides, why should she want to leave here?" . "Because she's In love. I happen to know that she wants desperately to marry some young engineer who was down here from Darwin six months ago." "You mean that fellow Brodle" "Yes she told me all about It when I first arrived from Saigon. He wanted her to marry him and go back to Darwin with him. out Clarice didn't like him and threat ened to cut Joyce off without cent It she married him. Dldnt you know that? Anyway. Joyce couldn't face It on the Uttle that Brodle had she had to have some money of her own. So she knuckled tmder to Clarice, but the has been hrondina over It ever ataoe," ""IH.THBdevllI Thatl aU freer. v filii rose and took a turn bout the room. "Joyce forgot Brodle long ago." "What makes you so sure? Last evening. I went into her room be fore dinner, There was a letter (ram Brodle on ber table." Chungking, Dec. 9 (U.R) A Chinese government spokesman today pleaded for quick Allied action against Japanese In the China war theater to cut short the prolonged bloodshed there. In a statement Issued shortly after the Chinese defeat at iua m vsuci viz t Vim hmmt. CHINESE IN PLEA FOR QUICK ACTIQN "I take It that Joyce waa not to the room." said Felix drily. "No sne was in the bathroom." "And you read the letter, 00 doubt?" Felix sneered. "I ins pec tea it ' Denue admitted. "One can t afford to oe too fright fully particular at a tune like ttus. Anyhow the letter plainly indicated that Joyce naa oeen corresponding with Brodie and still wanted to marry him. provided she could get nold of tome money of ner own. And it was only througn Clarice's death that she could get It." "That's a flendlsn Invention!" Felix burst out angrily. "On, Felix, let's oe realists. It was pretty odd, wasnl It. that Joyce should have a fit of hysterics when 1 told her that I knew she still wanted to go away and marry Brodle?" "I'll bet that wasn't all you said to her." , "No. It wasnl." Denise retorted defiantly. "I asked her how she dared to try and throw suspicion on me by putting my name on that Brooch!" "You're crazy! Joyce eouldnt do such a thing I Heaven knows I've never had much brotherly love for her. out I'll not stand for an accusation like that against net I know sne's selfish and silly and Vain, out" "And know she went on trying until sne got that Seconal she wanted." Denise broke In. "She gave It to Clarice!" "Be quiet!" Felix caught hold of Denise s wrists. "If you say that again. I'll I'll " "You'll what? Kill me?" Denise asked coldly. "Does It run In the family?" Felix threw her hands down and walked over to the window He stood there with his back toward ber. AFTER a moment she moved over beside nlm and spoke In a different tone. "Listen. Felix It's all horrible. I know, out it needn't go any fur ther. If wr keep quiet, the police will never know. Later, when the whole affair nas died down, we can take Joyce away We must protect her you and I." . Her hands were on his shoulders and her eyes were looking deep into his Then, her arms slipped around his neck. He nulled away from her. "What do you want me to do?" t.e de manded "What's your price for protecting Joyce and not telling the police about her attempt to buy Seconal?" Denise looked Injured. "Trice Don't talk Uke that. Felix But darling, dont you see how foolish you are to let Eileen come between us? You'll regret It if vou do. You wouldn't be happy married to her and she wouldn't be either You and she lust aren't the same tort." He gated at her contemptuously "Ever heard of the dog tn the man ger? The dog couldn't eat the hay Itself, but wouldn't let the horse eat it " "I dont see the likeness, Felix After all. I do love you." He turned away "You needn't say any more I'll get Eileen away from here as soon as I can." "You promise? 'You'll cut her out as though she never existed?" "Yes." . - "And things will be the same between us as they were before she came?" "Of course." he said bitterly. "Yes that's the bargain." "You're horribly cruel to put It that way. If I'm bargaining, Itt only because I cant do without you." Denis earn eloas to htm and again slipped ber arms around his neck. tTo be continued) fThe characters in this serial 1 flctftous Oopt- ISU.
