GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER ".

Guests at The Red House were al lowed to do what they liked within reason--the reasonableness or other wise of 1t being decided by Mark But when once they Cor Mark,) hat made up their minds as to what the. wanted to do, the plan had to be kept Mrs: Calladine, who knew this lttl, weakness of their hosts, resisted therefore the suggestion of Bill tha they should have a second round o golf in the afternoon, and drive home comfortably after tea.
 Antony was standing in front of the house, waiting for them. Bill waved and he waved back Then as the cal drew up, Bill, who was in front with the chauffeur jumped down and greeted him eagerly.
 ''Halo, you madman, have you come to stay, or what?" He had a sudden idea. Don't say you're Mark Ablett's long-lost brother from Aus tralia, though I could quite believe 1t of you" He laughed boyishly.
 "Hallo, Bill" said Antony quietly. Will you introduce me? I'm afraid I've got some bad news"
 Bill, rather sobered by this intro- duced him. The Major and Mrs. Cal ladine were on the near side of the car, and Antony spoke to them in a low voice.
 I'm afraid I'm going to give you rather a shock" he said. Robert Ablett, Mir Mark Ablett's brother. has been killed" He jerked thumb over his shoulder, Tn the house"
 'Do you mean that he has just killed himself?" asked Mrs. Calladine.
 Tt was about two hours ago. I happened to come here,"-he half turneh to Beverley and explained-"1 was coming to see you. Bill. and all rived just after the-the death. MT. Cayley and I found the body. Mir. Cayley being busy just nowhere are police and doctors and so on in the house-he asked me to tell you." He says that no doubt you would prefer the house party having been broken up in this tragis way, to leave as soon as possible He gave pleasant apologetic little smile.
 Bill gazed with open mouth at An tony. Mrs. Calladine was quietly mistress of herself.
 we BHdll D6 III lHS way, yeo, quite understand" she said; "but we can't just shake the dust of the place of our shoes because something ter rible has happened there. I must see Nrk He must know how very deeply we feel for him. Perhaps We" she hesitated.
 "The Major and I might be useful | anyway" said Bill.
 Where Is Mark" said the Major suddenly, looking hard at Antony.
 Antony looked back unwaveringly- and said nothing.
 q think" said the Major gently, leaning over to Mrs. Calladine, that 1t would be better if you took. Betty back to London tonight"
 "very we'll" she agreed quietly
 As Antony re-entered the hall, the Inspector from Middleston was just crossing into the library with Cayley. The latter stopped and nodded to Antony.
 Wait a moment Inspector. Here's Mir. Gillingham." And then to An tony, This is Inspector Birch"
 Birch looked inquiringly from one to the other.
 Mir. Gillingham and l found the body together" explained Cayley.
 "Oh! Well, come along and let's get the facts sorted out bit They went into the library The Inspector seated himself at a writing table, and Cayley sat in a chair by the side of it. Antony made himself comfortable in an armchair and pre- pared to be interested.
 Well start with the dead man." E
