M. Picon laughed. "And per-

you will find him there with some

"But how did you know, while
it was still long way off, that
that was the Thurstons' car?"
IT did not. But I thought it

I was not expecting it with any
great confidence. But I knew it

that possibly, possibly, mind you,

Nightcap Performance
To Be Staged By Bulldogs
Guards Likely to be
Deciding Factor in
Contest; Middle
burg Boys Favored

A Battle of Forwards" will be
waged here tomorrow night at 1880
o'clock in Henderson high school gym
as the local lasSies tie up with Mid
dleburg fer the second time within
a week in what should be one of the
best basketball contests Of the fast
ebbing season. The Bulldogs will turn
in a nightcap performance, meeting
Middleicurg boys.
Middleburg and Henderson girls are
gifted with fine sets Of forwards, the
score in the first meeting attesting
to the fact, the visitors running up
81 points to Henderson's 33. Middle
burg boasts of Miss Jackson, who
scored % points in the first meeting.
Miss Ellington, and Miss Hendrick.
These forwards have consistently
piled up wide margins during the
season. Henderson looks to Captain
Blake, Becky Mills and Mary Florence
Houghtal;ng for its scoring. Misses
Blake and Mills tied with II points
each against Middleburg last Wednes-
day night, end Miss Houghtaling &C
counted for nine points.
The guards VIII probable hold the
balance of power in the contest. Hen
derson probably has the edge in this
department in Carolyn Duke, Rebecca
Beasley and Minnie Lee Huffman, al
though the visitors, headed " Miss
Short, gave the local forwards a tough
tussle in the previous engagement.
If Henderson can stop Miss Jack
son and hold Misses Ellington and
Hendrick. the lassies have fine
chance for q winning decision and
keeping their record intact of hay
ing defeated every team they have
met at least once this season.
Middleburg boys are expected to

walked about quarter Of a mile
since we saw that car. And all
for nothing. You have seen what
you set out to see. We could
have turned back at once"
"And who knows what set out
to see ?"
"Well. it was obviously the car,
coming back from Morton Scone,
with Fellowes and the rest of
them in it."
"That was almost an accident"
"Then you still must go on to

Naturally"
"But whatever for ?"

"AHonS."
I obeyed. But inwardly re-
volted. I began to think that M.
Picon was deliberately mystifying
me, or that, having absent-mind-
edly continued walking to Nor
ton Scone as I suggested, he now
pretended that it was necessary,
in order to save his face. But as
we were approaching the village
I had another idea.
81 knoww I said, "you think it
was double murder. The doctor
in this village died the same day.
You connect the two?"
'The doctor was very old, and
had a weak heart. He knew him
self that he might die at any time.
His death was perfectly natural"
Then what has Morton Scone
got to do with it 2"
We had reached a point on a
gentle hillside from which most
OF the village was clearly visible.
IL was a pleasant Sussex village,
whose predominant color was that
quiet red to which bricks and tiles
are toned in the process of time.
mere were houses with plaster
fronts and houses with timbered
fronts, and an inn sign hung
across the footpath.
Perhaps nothing at all. Per-
