Elsie Clayton was not one of those

She drew away from him now with a
slight shiver. She glanced up at the

duly: "Dead?"
Mrs. Rice nodded. "The corner Of
the paperweight caught him right on
the temple and he fell back with his
head on the iron fender. don't know
which it was that killed him - but he
is certainly dead. l have seen death

else going to think 50? I'm - frankly.
I'm frightened, Harold?'
Harold said slowly: Elsie can con-

"Yes, and you can confirm hers.
That - that's just itr'
Harold's brain. naturally keen
and cautious one, saw her point. He
reviewed the whole thing and appre-
ciated the weakness of their position.
Himself and Elsie spending a GER
tain amount of time together. The
fact that they had been seen together
in the pine woods by one of the Polish
women. The Polish ladies apparently
spoke no English. but they might
nevertheless understand it a little.
The woman might have known the
meaning of words like Jealousy and
husband" if she had CHANGED to over
hear their conversation.
Anyway it was clear that something
she had said to Clayton had aroused
his jealousy. And then - his death.
And when Clayton had died. he,
Harold. had been in Elsie's room.
There was nothing to show that he
had not deliberately assaulted Philip
Clayton with the paperweight. Moth
ing to show that the jealous husband
had not actually found them together.
There was only his word and Elsie's.
A cold fear gripped him. He did not
imagine that either he or Elsie was in
danger of being condemned to death
for murder they had not committed. .
Surely. in any case, it could be only
charge of manslaughter brought
against them. Odd they have man.
slaughter in these foreign countriesO
But even if they were acquitted of
blame there would have to be an
inquiry - it would be reported in all
the papers. An English man and
,Oonsan accused - jealous hnsbdnd -
rising politician. Yes, it would mean
the end of his political career.
He said on an impulse: Cant we
get rid of the body somehow"
Mrs. Rice's astonished and scornful
look made him blush. MY dear
Harold. this isn't detective story! To
attempt thing like that would be
quite crazy"
Il suppose it would" He groaned.
Isn't there anything we can do? Any
thing to avoid this frightful disaster?"
There, it was out - disaster! Ter

They stared at each other.

my little Elsie. I'd do anything e. 1t
will kill her if she has to 60 through
