that? Just hilled him and then run

BEGIN HERE TODAY.

A revolver shot was heard two
minutes after Robert Albeit, ne er-
do-weil brother of Mark Albeit, the
bachelor proprietor of the Red
House had returned from his
5 years absence in Australia and
been ushercd into Marks office.
Antony Dillingham;, a gentleman
adventWer and trfiends OF Bill Bev-
crley, one of Mark guests, arrived
at that moment to find Matt Cayley,
Marks companion, pounding on the
locked door of the office and de-
manding admittance. The two men
entered the office through a window
and on the floor found the body of
Robert with bullet through the
head. Mark was not to be found.
Police Inspector Birch believes
that Mark has murdered his brother,
whose visit he anticipated with an
noyance, but there are several points
which arouse Antonys suspicious.
Cayley invites him to remain over
the inquest and Antony informs
Bill Beverley that things are going
to happen here soon
co ON WITH THE STORY.
Cayley was walking across the
lawn toward them, a big, heavy
sh0uldcred man, with one of those
strong, cIean-shaven, ugly faces
which can never quite be called plain.
Cayley nodded as he came to them,
and stood there for a moment.
I'VE can make room for you" said
Bill getting up.
ooh, don't bother, thanks | just
came to say" he went on to Antony,
that naturally they've rather lost
their heads in the kitchen, and din
ner won't be till haIf-past eight. Do
just as you like about dressing, OF
course"
Having said what he wanted t.
say, Caylcy remained there a little
awkwardly, as if rot sure whether
to 90 or to stay. Antony wondered
whether he wanted to talk about the
afternoons happenings, or whether
I it was the one subject he wished to
avoid. To break the silence he
asked carelessly if the inspector had
gone.
Cayley nodded. Then he said alb
ruptly, He's getting warrant for
Marks arrest"
Bill made a suitably sympathetic
rose, and Antvry said with a shrug
ii the shoulder, "WelI. he was
bound to do that, wasn'r he? 1t
