Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-03-05

right, perhaps she tells him, I can
give you the money! And he is
relieved of his troubles. But sshh!
She has spoken too loud. The but
Ter has discovered that she has
this sum. He has already black
mailed Madame ThurstOn with the
letter that she wrote to Fellowes,
and now determines to obtain also
this money. During the afternoon
he sees her and she has to give
him the 1900. It is a pity.
Then, after that so intelligent
discussion of the literature OF
crime, you go to dress for dinner.
Madame Thufston sends for Eel
loves and tells him to set the trap
for the rat. That is good for Fell
loves. It is not necessary, but it
is good. And Monsieur Town
send perceives Monsieur Strick-
land emerging from Madame
Thurston's room. She has given
him her pendant to help him
through his troubles. She is kind,
this Madame Thurston.
During dinner the chauffeur,
lust as Lord Simon has explained,
fetches the ropes. Lord Simon
has obliged me by perceiving how
he bro .ght them into the house
unobserved. I had myself Won
der.a e. .....ct. Bat it is simple.
He used the front door. He goes
to the chanbre des pomnes. He
suspends the rope. He goes to
Madame Thurston's room and re-
moves the light. Why? She must
foresee no danger. It is necessary
that she should be silent. The
semi-darkness will assist him.
All upstairs is now ready. He
descends, and sneep! the telephone
wire is cut. Why? The doctor
must not come too soon, or the
fact may be discovered that she
was murdered earlier than the
screams.
"He goes now to the kitchen.
Dinner is over. Presently the
guests begin to go to bed, or to
go home. The door of the kitchen.
is ajar. Why? Because one must
know when Madame Thurston
goes to bed. Eleven o'clock draws
near. All! At last! Madame has
left the lounge. Enid rises at
once and follows her mistress to
her room. She explains that she
cannot get another light bulb. She
is sorry. Does Madame require
her further? Mais non, madame
is secretly expecting the chauffeur
and requires no one. Enid says
good night, with smile. 1t is
also goodby.
"Once more the chauffeur as
cends. He takes the rat trap with
him. He enters madame's room.
She awaits him. All is well.
There is very little light. He re-
mains with her little while.
Why? All, that is no matter for
the detective, that delay. It is
for the priest to understand. Per-
haps the crime seems at last too
terrible. Perhaps he wishes her
to be at a disadvantage. Who
can say now? But at last he can
delay no more. He has brought
his weapon. He strikes. VOLTA!
It is done. Quite silent. She had
no time to cry OF. She is dead.
"And now he is nervous. He
crosses quickly to the window.
He throws it up. He is on the
rope. And he can climb. Parbleu!
But can he climb, this man who
was once a sailor? He pulls down
the window, and climbs, swift,
swift, to the window of the apple
room. He enters. He commences
to draw in the rope.
$50 far, all has gone a nerveille.
But now occurs little disaster
for the murderer. Downstairs
there is conversation between
DR.. Thurston, Monsieur Williams
and Monsieur Townsend. The
radio plays. What does Monsieur
Townsend? See, he rises. He
will fetch something from his
overcoat. He goes to the door
and opens it. Bit no. Monsieur
