PAGE EIGHT MARGOT 7 NEVILLE wen eett. t MM rll SrMUsle, h CHAPTER XXXIV AT ABOUT seven o'clock, every one gathered In the drawing room for drinks. They put up a (airly good front at being casual, though Hurst a bit of a foot-tapper and finger drummer at the best of times kept up a ceaseless tattoo, and Nugent was emptily gay, Felix poured drinks feverishly. "R'c going to be bot wain to morrow." "Shouldn't wonder." "I see In tonight's paper that the rainfall for this half year " "Sorry. Cyril what were you saying?" This Is unbearable, Eileen was thinking, everyone was pretending to be normal, and they weren't not an atom. They were watchful Denise looking strangely aside at Joyce. Nugent with a glint la his eye watching Felix pour a drink. B rends foolishly tearing a flower to pieces, her eyes never leaving Nu gent'! face and Burst's fingers tapping, tapping. , A footstep sounded on the ver anda. Bill spoke sharply. "Who's that?" It was Rath. He appeared In the French doorway and stood looking Into the room, blinking his eyes. "The Johns have found some thing." he said hoarsely. "Pound something?" "Yes. they found a bit of lack ing . . . There's blood on It." Like white masks, every faee Jerked around toward him, no ex pression on any one of them, "I heard them talking Just now," , Rath went on. "They found It down by the water somewhere." "Where?" It was Fells who asked the question. "I dunno one of the jetties, I dunno which one." Rath made a queer movement with his hands, then turned and disappeared. ; ; "ftflCHAEL," Eileen whispered. v "Michael dead. too. He stepped out of that window last night and and that was the end." . The others remained silent. "No. nol" Eileen cried. "It cant be! People don't go on killing oth ers like this." "Oh, yes. they do." Nugent said grimly. "Remember Landru dis posed of quite a number of wives before they got him." BUI faced them all as though he were going to make a speech. "Well, may I say right here and now If anyone has any designs on me that I hear nothing. I see nothing. And Jf I did know any thing I wouldn't tell it Td be far too scared." At that moment, the heavy, stolid form of the constable called Mac appeared In the doorway. His glance went around the room and came to rest on Nugent, "Or. Nugent, will you some with me. please? The inspector wants a word with you." "Certainly." The doctor seemed to be making a big effort to act as though the re quest were the pleasantest In the world, but his glass rattled on the table as he put It down, and his face was pale as-he followed the constable sub Top Man" Coming To Craterian 4 (r Termed a "natural" for down- players topped by Donald O'Con rlght entertaining vivacity, "Top nor Susanna Foster and the Man" comes to the Craterian I vivacious Peggy Ryan.

GROG AN was down on Dr. Nu gent ' Jetty, where the doctor kept his boat a smart Uttle affair with a speed engine. "Nice little boat ysuve got here." the Inspector said, as Nugent ap peared with the constable. "Yes " "Is this the boat you take Miss Wheatley out In?" "You needn't assume, Inspector, that I have my boat only for the purpose of taking young girls about. My wife and fuse It a great deal." "When did you have It out last?" Nugent didn't answer for a min ute. He lighted a cigarette and watched the match go slowly out In the still air. Then, he said casually, "Well, as a matter of fact, the last time too the night I took Miss Wheatley for a spin the night of Mrs. Dodd's death." Orogan stood looking down at the boat. "Then how do account for the fact that It was taken out last night." "It vrasnt I dldnt have ft out test night." "Well, never mind that for the moment." The Inspector paused. "We found here caught on that splinter at the edge of the steps a small piece of sacking. There was blood on It. Rawson's missing, you see. and" "You're not suggesting that Raw son has been has been" Nugent faltered. Oroenn shot another question at him. "How long has that pile of sacks been in that old potting shed of yours?" "Backs? What sacks?" "There's a pile of dusty seeks there and the top one's been taken away recently." "I dont know anything about It I dont know what you're talking about. I suppose that my gardener knows." "Your gardener only comes once a week. Five days ago. he came. The lack of dust on the top sack shows that It hasn't been the top one for more than a day or so." '. yHEN. Nugent cracked. He spat a his cigarette out Into the water and etalked up and down, "It's monstrous) It's a scandal ous attempt to Implicate me I" Ha raged on. his laneuage becoming far from professional. Orogan waited, gailng on!vlv at the darkenln witer. When the other hsd talked himself out, he spoke quietly. "You keep the" key of your boat. T sirooose. doctor?" "Of course. Yes, naturally. I mean" "You mean somebody else has another one?" Nugent hesitated a second. "Yes. Miss Wheatley has another key." "Does she take the boat out alone sometimes?" f 1 "She sometimes brings It around to one of the other bays and meets me there." "Isee.OJt." The Inspector walked off and left Nugent standing there.
