with this sketch-it's just a
ground floor plan"
Selden watched the other keen
lily without appearing TO do SO, and
saw a look OF relief come to his
face. He had expected an inn
mediate and searching examina-
ton.
with pleasure he said at
once, and took the paper. Here
is the gateway entrance that is
part Of the old monastery, in the
center OF the west side. The cor
ridor once formed the cloisters,
now brickel in-you can see the
old pillars and arches in the
brickWork. All this side has been
rebuilt and contains the modern
rooms, though even this is old as
buildings go. Along the north
side IS the old refectory OF the
monks, q fine arched hall, with

Sir Henry was more or less of
a reclus., wasn't he?"
"In his iatter years yes. He
suffered srorr govt, and a sort Of
melancholia and hardly ever went
out"
Hutchins was 6 80 "a put a
question, but felt touch on his
foot from Seldan and refrained.
THAT makes up most of the
north side" CoIindale went on,
sletching the details in with
skilled hand, and writing in the
names Of the various rooms. "On
the east are the servants quarters,
regular rabbit warren, for it
used to be the dwelling-place Of
the monks, and there are bake
houses and still-rooms and all the
paraphernalia of an old country
place that held great stores of
food. / can't give you all the
details-perhaps James could. He's
the butler and lives there" The
note of contempt did not escape
Selden.
That doesn't matter" Selden
assured him.
Then on the south side is the
chapel and the ante-chapel, and
the great library, which is seldom
used now. That completes the

almost indifferently, as though he
scarcely expected an answer.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-12-01

/ last received my salary. over
week ago, and last night 1 slept
like top after a hard day on the
estate. The first thing I knew was
when James came to tell Lady
Sewerage that Sir Henry was
missing"
That would be y. 2" Selden in
CURED softly, with half-closed
eyes.
I'm her sitting room; had to
discuss certain matters with her."
Colindale retorted shortly. as
though in challenge.
Thank you. really don't think
we need detain you, unless the IN
spector wants to ask you any
thing" Again the pressure on his
foot warned Hutchins TO answer
i in the negative
oh, by the way" Selden asked
as Colindale rose, that butler
has he been here long ?"
The stiff. guarded manner
dropped from the agent-he was
easy and fluent. L don't know
how long he's been in this job, but
II believe he was with Sir Henry
for many years before he came
here. He was his batman, and
afterwards wandered all over the
place with him as valet. AS a
matter Of fact, I understand that
Sir Henry, when young, was a bit
Of a rip. There are all sorts of
strange stories about his doings,
but / can't vouch for their truth
All know is that the place was
going to ruin and the old man, his
father, had a great difficulty in
keeping it up. Everyone said it
was because he had to pay off his
sons debts and keep him out of
England. The usual sort of story;
but they had shock"
Really, this is most interest
ing" Selden said pleasantly.
"Sir Henry was summoned back
as his father was dying, and ar
rived here just in time. He
brought James with him. But the
peculiar part of the whole story
was that when the old baronet was
dead he left hardly anything
what with taxes and losses he was
very badly off. That was all
shown clearly by the lawyer. He
had not given penny piece to his
son, Henry. But when Henry be-
came Sir Henry he was in ample
funds, paid the death duties, had
the whole place done up. and the
estate laid out anew. and started
off as big county magnate."
"And then he married ?" Selden
asked casually.
And then, as you say, he mar
ried," Colindale said, and his
mouth set in firm line.
t"He changed completely-gave
up everything and shut himself up
in this room for the most part.
"Of course, in this case" Colin
dale said thoughtfully, there may
have been a reason. He was near

CHAPTER 10

THE SNUB annoyed the Col
unel when the detective said he
would prefer to stay at the local
inn with Inspector Hutchins in
stead of with Graham. 1t was
telling him plainly that Selden
would not have the distinction
drawn between himself and the in
spector, and the latter registered
4 good mark TO the detective for
The courtesy
If you viii kindly tell the con-
stable to come here, we can send
FOR the people we require in turn, :"
Selden said as the other two went
out
Damned young prig, III tell
Boyle to send me someone with
more experience and less conceit, ="
Graham said, as he and Colindale
walked along the corridor.
Directly the door was shut, Sell
cen took a seat and motioned
Hutchins TO do the same

viii work this thing together. You
have vastly more experience than
have, and that will count; also,
you have local knowledge. Shall
we agree to do that 2"
The frank, boyish smile dis
armed the older man.
"Certainly--" He was almost
going to say sir, but felt that once
that word were used their posi-
tons would be no longer on ali
equality.
Good. Colonel Graham has in
terfered in this matter and we
have to DO the best we can. It's q
pity in some ways he used MS
hounds"
But" Hutchns retorted "if he
hadn't we should never have
found the body"
Exactly" Selden looked at the
other with queer expression.
Perhaps it would have been bet
ter if we had not. You see now
the murderer win be thoroughly
warned and on his guard. If the
disappearance haa remained
mystery he might have disclosed
himself"
II don't follow you there"
My dear fellow" Selden said
with a note of Impotence, there
is TO question of robbery here; we
can rule that out. There is also
10 question of q sudden quarrel,
for the preparations must have
been made already before the man
was induced to go to the chapel.
We have to delve into the whole
circumstances, and into the past
as well. Remember, there is no
heir; the baronetcy terminates
with Sir Henry's death. Graham
told ne that. Well go into ali
that later Before we call these
people up | want to show you
something"
Seiden went to the desk and
took a piece of paper, on which he
rapidly sketched an outline of the
Abbey, leaving the details to be
filed in. He turned it over as
knock came at the door, and the
village constable entered.
"Win you ask him to fetch
Colindale," Selden whispered, and
the inspector gave him a grateful
look.
Eric Colindale came in, evident
Iye sin a sulky mood. Selden
summed him up at a glance: he
was riitfied and antagonistic.

said at once. CAN these precau-

WESTERN, CENTRAL FA VORED IN 1886 HIGH Sci
Annual Game
On Schedule
For Week
By GARRETT WATERS


It's shouting and watching time
for the scholaStics this week E.
the boys and girls are expected to
let loose their enthusiasm full
force in celebration Of the opening
Of the annual interhigh grid
games.
Two are scheduled. tomorrow
the lid actually is pried when the
Roosevelt and Western elevenS
clash at the Western Stadium, at
$3.50 p. m.
Friday, the defending cham
pions, Central High, take the field
opposing Eastern High at the
Central Stadium at $3.50 last
year, Eastern finished second in
the series. playing topnotch ball
under Artie Boyd in his first sea-
son as a football coach.
Tomorrow'S game sends the two
expected cellar champs into action
both elevens have been stripped
Of varsity regulars by graduation
since 1885 and thus far this
year have tried earnestly to get
ready.
Western has looked by far the
best. led by Morris Snead, fast
halfback, while Roosevelt has
failed to win or look strong in its
only two games.
Hence the old dope sheet points
for an easy Western triumph.
but even this cannot be definitely
agreed upon in view Of all past
interhigh contests which have
been known to record their full
share Of upSets.
The CentraEEaStern Setto should
be all supporters desire. the MI.
PleasanterS possess well-drilled
and experienced team, led by
such youngsters as Bill Wootten,
Bernie Askin and Billy Vermillion,
backs, and Joe Feuz, Sam Fox,
Charlie Shank and Charlie Jones,
linemen. who should aid greatly
in the expected win.
Eastern, however, has come fast
in recent weeks, particularly its
light backfield, which has been
whipped into excellent shape by
Coach Artie Boyd.
AL Kidwell, Bud Shugrue and
Roy Michaels are members of
this backfield group and they've
shown ability to run, pass and
punt.
Four other games of more than
average Importance are on the
scholastic schedule this week. ..
All come Friday. GonZaga meets
George Washington High at Alex
andria, $3.50; Woodrow Wilson op-
poses Friends at Friends, $3.50;
Landon engages st. James at
Hagerstown, Md. and Luray High
meets an old rival in Washington
Lee High at Ballston, Va, both
of these latter contests at $3.50

gave a fine account of himself
while he was in action.
The Cardinals used as scoring
weapons the forward pass play
once featured by Army. A varia-
ton of the play that beat De Paul
was used against University OF
Mississippi. Bill Adamitis, left
half back of the Cards, swung out
to his right and ran as If on an
end run. The defensive players
had to shift, for this is a run
or pass on option" play.
Howard Walker tented start
with the play, spun and cut into
the left corner Of the end zone,
where standing alone, he received
the ball.
Twice this play fooled La Sale.
It was attempted a third time but
the safety man covered Walker,
and that was that.
With every game Bill Adama1tlS
seems to improve. His thruStS off
tackle, his sweeps and passes, make
him more than valuable. AdamaltiS
has developed a pleasing technique
in hiding the ball. When he is off
on a wide sweep, he holds the
leather lengthwise along his
trouser legs. 1t is very difficult for
the defense to spot the ball.
AdmaitieS Improves
For the reason that only II men
can be on the field at one time,
the Cardinal coaching staff may
decide to hold Munhall out OF
action at the start of games. This
matter of decision attaches no onus
of substitute rating on the junior
players. He is regular in ability
and esteem of the coaches. If Mum
hall had failed on Saturday; if he
had not batted down that touch
down seeking pass of De Paul, then
Schmarr never would have had an
opportunity to make his play that
checked the Blue menace once and
for all.
Burke Vidnovic made a tumble
that might have been disastrous,
but he made many a play that was
top hand. This youngster is certain
to be a great halfback one of these
times. He can do everything
that a real halfback should do.
Makofske is hitting the line with
terrific power these days. And his
defense? Ask the tacklers.
