She flung herself down into the liv-

crushed blossoms drenched the air
with perfume. The sun beat into her

was as empty as her heart Nothing

never come alive again.

thoughtfully at his visitor.
d He saw a pale face with a
determined-looking chin, gray eyes,
and hair of that blue-black shade so
seldom seen.
He noted the well-cut but we'll
worn tweeds, and the unconscious
arrogance of manner that lay behind
her obvious nervousness. He then
thought: "Ah yes, she is the
County - but no money! 1t must
be something quite out of the way
that would bring her to me-"
Diana Maberly said, and her
voice shook a little: Il don't know
whether you can help me or not,
M. Poirot. It's - it's very extra
ordinary position. I've come to you
because l don't know what to do! l
don't even know if there is any
thing to do!'
will you let me judge of that?'
The color surged into the girls
face. She said breathlessly: I've
come to you because the man I've
been engaged to for over year has
broken off our engagement" She
eyed him defiantly. you must
think that I'm completely crazy"
"On the contrary, Mademoiselle,
l have no doubt that you are
extremely intelligent. 1t is not my
meter to patch up the lovers quar-
rels, and know that you are quite
aware of that. 1t must be, therefore,
that there is something unusual
about the breaking of this engage
ment. That is 50, is it not?"
The girl nodded. Hugh broke off
our engagement because he thinks
he is going mad. He thinks people
who are mad should not marry"
And do you not agree?"
Il don't know. What is being
mad, after all? Everyone is a little
mad. It's only when you begin
thinking you're a poached egg or
something that they have to shut
you up. can't see that there's any,
thing wrong with Hugh at all. He's
oh, he's the sanest person l
know. Sound - dependable -"
Then why does he think he is
mad? Is there, perhaps, madness in
his family?"
Reluctantly Diana jerked her head
in assent: His grandfather was a
mental case, l believe - and some
great aunt or other. But every family
has got someone queer in it. You
know, a bit half-witted or extra
clever or something!" Her eyes were
appealing.
Poirot shook his head sadly. will
you tell me, Mademoiselle. all about
your fiance?"
His names Hugh Chandler. He's
-four. His father is Admiral
Chandler. They live at Lyde Manor.
It's been in the Chandler family
since the time of Elizabeth. Hugh's
the only son. He went into the Navy
- nearly all the Chambers are sail
ors. Hugh's father wouldn't have
heard of anything else. And yet -
and yet, it was his father who in
sisted on getting him out of it.
when was what?"
Nearly a year ago. Quite sud-
denly"
WAS Hugh happy in his profess
sion?"
Absolutely"
There was no scandal OF any
kind?"
About Hugh? Absolutely moth
.
Evening star., 1939-09-24

What reason did Admiral
Chandler give?"
He never really gave reason.
" Oh, he said it was necessary
H Hugh should learn to manage
II the estate, but that was only a
pretext. Even George Putnam
realized that"
who is George Putnam"
Colonel Putnam. He's Admiral
Chambers oldest friend. He spends
most of his time down at the
Manor"
And what did he think of
Admiral Chandler's determination
that his son should leave the Navy"
He was dumfounded. He could
mt understand it at all. Nobody
could"
mot even Hugh Chandler him
self?"
Diana did not answer at once.
Poirot waited a minute, then went
on: AT the time. perhaps, he, too,
was astonished. But now? Has he
said nothing - nothing at all?"
He said - about week ago -
that - that his father was right -
that it was the only thing to be
DONE" Diana murmured.
Did you ask him why?"
''Of course. But he wouldn't tell
me-"
Poirot reflected for a minute.
Then he said: Have there been any
unusual occurrences in your part of
the world? Starting, perhaps, about
a year ago? Something that has
given rise to a lot of local talk and
surmise?"
Il don't know what you mean"
Poirot said quietly, but with
authority:
What was it,"
There wasn't anything - moth
ing of the kind you mean"
"Of what kind them"
II think you're simply odious!
Queer things often happen on farms.
It's revenge - or the village idiot or
somebody"
what happened?"
There was a fuss about some
sheep. Their throats were cut. Oh!
1t was horrid. But they all belonged
to one farmer and he's a very hard
man. The police thought it was some
kind OF spite against him.
But they didn't catch the person
who had done it,"
'No!' She added fercely. IF you
think -"
Poirct held up his hand: "You do
not know in the least what l think.
Tell me this, has your fiance con-
suited a doctor?"
mo. He hates doctors"
"And his father?"
Il don't think the Admiral be-
lieves much in doctors either. Says
they are humbugs."
How does the Admiral seem him
self? Is he we'll? Happy"
Hes aged terribly in the past
year. He's wreck "a shadow of
what he used to be-"
Poirot nodded thoughtfully. did
he approve of his sons engage
ment?"
"Oh, yes. You see, my peoples
land adjoins his. We've been there
for generations. He was frightfully
pleased when Hugh and l fixed
it up"
"Ahd now?"

Recorder Of Deeds
Rejects Space in New
Municipal Building
Dr.. Thompkins Insists
On Separate Structure
For His Offices

DR.. William j. Thompkins, District
recorder of deeds, today declined the
offer of the Commissioners to pro-
vide space for his Office in the East
Building of the new Municipal Cen
ter, now under construction, and re-
newed his campaign for the provision
of separate building, especially
designed for a recorders business.
Commissioner HaZen, rather re-
gretfully, reported that the Board
of Commissioners had accepted DR..
Thompkins' refusal and said he
didn't know just what could be done
about it.
Problem Presented.
It appeared that If the recorder
of deeds adheres to his refusal to
move into the new Municipal Build
ing, he will have to stay in his pres
ent rented quarters unless Congress
approves the recorders repeated re-
quest for funds for a separate build
ing.
In lengthy argument of the case,
the recorder told the Commissioners,
1--WE contend that it is in the in
terest of public economy and eff
cheney that we be located in a
building set up for the exclusive use
Of the recorder of deeds, to be located
on the southwest corner of Fourth
and E streets NV, and within Ju-
dietary Square. We feel that in
doing this the intent of Congress
will be given force and effect"
In statements to reporters, DR..
Thompkins said that some men,
bers of Congress feel that they have
been double-crossed by the Commis-
sioners."
Separate Building Opposed.
The Commissioners have opposed
bills providing for construction of a
separate building for the recorder of
deeds Dr. Thompkins contends that
Congress intended there should be
constructed a separate building in
that during the past session when
it authorized the District to &C
cept P. w. A. grants and loans
totaling $1S, S,150,000. it said the funds
would be for the purpose of public
works, including among others a
building for the recorder of deeds. "
The P. w. A. has approved loans
and grants totaling $18,150,000, but
none of the funds were earmarked
for a recorder of deeds building.
The Commissioners had tentatively
allotted space on the Third street
frontage of the East Municipal
Building. Commissioner HaZen said
that if this is not taken by the re-
corder it would permit a larger
amount of space to be allocated to
the District Health Department.
