Outside on the landing Mary Ger
rad was talking to Nurse Hopkins.
She started forward. ooh, DIR. Lord,
can I go in to her please?"
He nodded. keep quite quiet,
though, and don't disturb her."
Mary went into the sickroom.
DR.. Lord said: "Your train was
late. YOU" He stopped.
Elinor had turned her head to look
after Mary. Suddenly she became
aware of his abrupt silence. She turn
ed her head and looked at him in
quiringly. He was staring at her, a
startled look in his face. The color
rose in Elinor's cheeks. She said hur-
riedly: 81 beg your pardon. What
did you say?"
Peter Lord said slowly: what
was I saying? I don't remember.
Miss Carlisle, you were splendid in
there!" He spoke warmly. "Quick
to understand, reassuring, everything
you should have BEEN"
The very faintest of shifts came
from Nurse Hopkins.
Elinor said: "Poor darling. It up
set me terribly seeing her like that"
"Of course. But you didn't show
it. You must have great self-con-
troll"
Elinor said, her lips set very
straight: give learned MOTTO show
my feelings"
The doctor said slowly: Gall the
same, the masks bound to slip once
in a WHILE"
Nurse Hopkins had hustled into the
bathroom. Elinor said, raising her
delicate eyebrows and looking full at
him: "The mask?"
DR.. Lord said: "The human face is,
after all, nothing more nor less than
a mask"

SYNOPSIS

On trial for the poison murder of
Mary Gerard. ElinOr Carlisle's
thoughts GO back to the day the
trouble began-the day the anOny-
nous letter arrived, warning her that
someone was trying to do her and her
fiance, ROderick Welman, out of their
Aunt Laura Welman's money. ElinOr
believed the person referred to was
Mary Gerard, Mrs. Welman's lovely
young protegee and the daughter of
the old lady's lodgekeeper. Sincerely
fond of their invalid Aunt Laura, the
young couple decided to visit her and
also investigate matters. At Hunter
bury, the Welman estate. Nurse
O'Brien told District Nurse Hopkins
of an odd happening the night before.
Mrs. Welman had asked for an old
fashioned picture of handsome
young man she kept in her dresser
drawer. Gazing at it, she murmered,
"Lewis-Lewis!" Her late husbands
name was Henry. AS Nurse Hopkins
left, Mary Gerard overlook her and
said: 81 must talk to you, I'm so wor-
ried about everything"
Roddy and ElinOr arrived at Hun
terbury, the Welman estate, and were
welcomed by their aunt. Pleased to
learn of their engagement, Mrs. Wei
man asked ElinOr if she really loved
Roddy. 81 care for ROddy enough
but not too much," the girl answered,
afraid to reveal she was madly in love
with him because her main attraction
for Roddy was her al00fness. At the
moment, the young man in question
strolled in the garden, thinking of
Elinor and apparently satisfied with
his lot. Suddenly an odd residences
gripped him. Just then beautiful,
golden-haired girl came towards him.
He was smitten by her beauty. Eli
nor arrived on the scene and took in
the situation in a glance. Later, when
Mary told Nurse Hopkins she believed
Mrs. Bishop, the hOusekeeper, dis
liked her, the nurse attributed it to
Mrs. Welman's fOndness for the girl

CHAPTER FIVE

She passed on, ship in full sail.
Ted looked respectfully after her.
Mary murmured: "Now, she really
is like duchess!"
"Yes-she's got manner. Always
makes me feel hot inside my collar"
Mary said slowly: "She doesn't
like me-"
Nonsense, my girl"
It's true. She doesn't. She's always
saying sharp things to me-"
Jealous" said Ted, nodding his
head sapiently. "That's all it is"
Mary said doubtfully. 81 suppose
it might be that. )"
"That's it, depend upon it. She's
been housekeeper at Hunterbury for
years, ruling the roost and ordering
every one about, and now old Mrs.
Welman takes fancy to you, and it
puts her out! That's all it is"
Mary said, a shade Of trouble on
her forehead: cts silly of me, but
I can't bear it when any one doesn't
like me. I want people to like me-"
Sure to be women who don't like
you, Mary! Jealous cats who think
you're too good-looking!"
Mary said: II think jealousy's
horrible"
Ted said slowly: "Maybe-but it
exists all right. Say, I saw lovely
film over at Alledore last week. All
about one of these sporting million
aire blokes who neglected his wife;
and then she pretended she'd been de-
ceiving him. And there was another
fellow ="
Mary moved away. She said: "Sor-
ry, Ted, l must go. I'm late"
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to have tea with Nurse
Hopkins"
Ted made face. Funny taste.
That woman's the biggest gossip in
the village! Foxes that long nose of
hers into everything"
Mary said: "She's been very kind
to me always"
ooh, I'm not saying there's any
harm in her. But she talks"
Mary said: Goodbye, Ted" She
hurried off, leaving him standing gaz-
ing resentfully after her.
Nurse Hopkins occupied a small
cottage at the end of the village. She
herself had just come in and was I'M
tying her bonnet strings when Mary
entered. "Ah, there you are. I'm
bit late. Old Mrs. Caldecott was bad
again. Made me late with my round
of dressings. saw you with Ted Big
land at the end of the street."
Mary said rather dispiritedly:
eyes. i"
Nurse Hopkins looked up alertly
from where she was STOPPING to light
the gas-ring under the kettle. Her
long nose twitched. "Was he saying
something particular to you, my
dear?"
"No. He just asked me to go to the
movies"
ct see." said Nurse Hopkins
promptly. "Well, of course, he's a
nice young fellow and doesn't do too
badly at the garage, and his father
does rather better than most OF the

man man or woman"

Elinor turned quickly and led the
way downstairs. Peter Lord followed,
puzzled and unwontedly serious. Rod
dy came out into the hall to meet
them. "Well?" he said anxiously.
Elinor said: "Poor darling. It's
very sad to see her. j. . I shouldn't go,

Manners
of the
Moment

The way some people rush to the
phone to call their friends at any
hour of the day or night is some
times very upsetting. These people
always seem to work on the theory
that if they are awake every one else
should be awake, too.
It's a poor theory. A good many
people don't particularly like to be
awakened at m. And when they
are aroused by the telephone bell
just as they are getting 70 sleep
they grow bitter and unforgiving.
Just remember this. People have
different habits. You, my dear, may
not even think of going to bed before
3 am. But you burn up if some
one telephones you at am, don t
you? Next time you call me at 3
am, just remember :. I'm calling
you at 8 am. tomorrow. JEAN.
