«MD HOUSE MYSTER fy A-A-MILNE .* *ra tPSuuononpiny BEGIN HERE TODAY It was with considerable disgust that MARK ABLETT, bachelor pro prietor of The Red House, had in formed his house-party guests that his ne'er-do-well brother, ROBERT, who had been ubscnt for fifteen years in Australia, was to visit hint that afternoon. Mark and his companion, MATT CAYLEY, awaited the ar rival of Robert after lunch, the guests playing golf. Robert ar rived. was ushered nito Mark's of fice by the maid. AUDREY STEVEN8. who went to inform her master. Before she found Mark a shot was heard and ANTONY GILLINGHAM, a friend Of . BILL BEVERLEY, one of Mark’s guests, entered the house to find Cayley pounding on the locked door and demanding admittance. The two men entered the office through a window and discovered a body on the flopr with a shot lr. the head. Mark was not to be found and the dead man, Cayley told Antony. was the brother who had just arrived. GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER JV. Guests at The Red House were allowed to do wha£ they liked with in reason—the reasonableness or otherwise of it being decided by Mark. But when once they (or Mark) had made up their minds as to what they wanted to do, the plan had to be kept. Mrs. Calladine, who knew this little weakness of their host’s, resisted, therefore, the sug gestion of Bill that they should have a second round of golf in the after noon, and drive home comfortaoly after tea. Anthony was standing in front of tho house waiting for them. Bill waved, and he waved back. Then us the c$r drew up, Bill, who was Jn front with the chauffeur, jumped down and greeted him eagerly. “Hallo, you madman, have you come to stay, or what?’’ He had a sudden idea. “Don't say you’re Mark Ahiett’s long-lost brother from Aus tralia, though I could quite believe I it of you." He laughed boyishly. “Hallo, ill," said Antony quiet ly. Will you introduce me? I'm afraid I’ve got some bad news?” Bill, rather sobered by this, intro duced him. The Major and Mrs- Cal ladine were on the near side of the ^B car. and Antony spoke’ to them in Tr v low voice. ‘ I'm afraid I'm going to give you rathey a shock,” he said. “Robert Ablc-tt, Mr. Mark Ablett’s brother, has been killed.” He jerked a thumb over bis shoulder. “In the housiXl "Dp you mean that he has just killed himself?” asked Mrs. Calla dire. "It was abyut two hours ago. I happened to come here,”—he half turne0 to Beverley and explained— “I was coming to see yqu, Bill, and I arrived just after the—the death Mr Cayley and I found the body. Mr. Cayley being busy just now— thtre are police and doctors and so on in the house—he asked mo to teli ypu. Ho says that no doubt you wcttld prefer, tho houqe-pavry hav ing been broken up In this tragic way. to leave as soon as possible" Hu gave a pleasant apologetic little smile. Bill gazed with open mouth at An tony. Mrs. Calladine was quietly mistress of herself. "We shall be in the way. yes. I quite understand.” she said: “hut we can't just shake the dust of tne place off our shoes because some .thing terrible hqs happened there. I must sea Mark. He must know how very deeply we feal for him. Perhaps We—” she hesitated. "The Major and I might be useful anyway,” said Bill. "Where is Mark?” said the Major suddenly, looking hard at Antony. Antony looked back unwaveringly —and said nothing. "I think,” said the Major gently, leaning over to Mrs- Calladine, “that it v/oqld be better if you took Betty back to London tonight.” “Very well.” she agreed quietly. As Antony re-entered the hall, the ^ Inspector from Middleaton was just crossing into the library with Cay ley. The latter stopped and nodded to Antony. “Wait. a moment. Inspector. . Here's Mr. Gillingham.” And then tr. Antony. “This is Inspector Birch.” Birch looked inquiringly from one to the qther. “Mr. Gillingham and I found the body together," exclaimed Cayley. "Oh! Well, come along, and let’s get the facts sorted out a bit.'* They went into the library. The Inspector seated himself at a writ ing table and Cayley sat in a chair by the side of it. Antony made him se’f comfortable in an armchair und •prepared to he interested. “WeTL start with the dead man.” 1 MORE "OUCH" I i iNo more* Gee HowMySore Feet Burn —Pains from Corns,Bunions and Callouses Go a* if by Magic! * GYPSY FOOT RELIEF a secret from the desert Ends Foot Misery QuickI Apply It ie e minute—'Three min utes later put on shoes, then walk end run all you like and work on your feet as much as you wish I No more seeking your feet in medicated baths; no cracking the akin with powders; no inconvenience; no fuse with plastere-no bother!

Brother of Mark Ablett. whc lives here.” Antony listened attentively while Cayley explained all that he knew about Robert. This was news to him. "I see. Bent out of the country in disgrace. What had he done?” •‘Mark Ablett never talked about him ?’’ ‘‘Hardly ever. He was very much ashamed of him. and—well, very glau he was in Australia.” “Now your own private opinion. M'\ Cayley. Uo you think that Mu'k was unfair to his brother?” “They'd never liked each other as boys. I don't know whose fauit it was in the first place—if anybody’s." The inspector nodded. “This letter that Mark got—did y >11 see it?” ‘ “Not at the time. He showed It to rne afterward." “Any address?" “No. A half sheet of rather dirty paper." "Where is it now?" “I don't know. In (Mark's pocket, I expect." you remember what it said?" "As far as I remember, something like this: ‘Mark, your loving brother is coming to see you tomorrow, all the way from Australia. I give you warning so that you will be able to conceal your surprise, but not I hope, your pleasure. Kxpect him at three, or thereabouts.' " "Ah!” The inspector copied it down carefully. "Did you notice the post mark?” “London." "And what was Mark’s attitude?’ “Annoyance, disgust—” Cayley hesitated. "Apprehension?" "N-ro, not exactly. Or, rather, apprehension of an unpleasant in terview, not of any unpleasant out come for himself.” "You mean that he wasn’t afraid of violence, or blackmail, or any thing of that sort?” “He didn't appear to be.” "Right . . . Now then, he ar rived, you say about three o’clock?” “Yes, about that.” “Who was in the house then?" "Mark and myself, and some of the servants. I don't know which. Of coui-se, you will ask them direct ly, no doubt.” “With your permission. Np guests?” "They were out all day playing golf.” "Where were you when Robert arrived?” asked Birch. Cayley explained how he had been sitting in the hall, how Audrey had asked him where the master was, and how he had said that he had last seen him going up to the Temple. "She went away, and I went on with my book. There was a step on the stairs, and I looked up to see Mark coming down. He went into the office, and I went on with my book again. I went into the library for a moment, to refer to another book, and when I was in there I heard a shot. At least, it was a loud bang, I wasn't sure if it was a shot. I stood and listened. Then I camp slowly to the door and looked out. Then I went Track again, hesi tated a bit, you know, and finally de cided to go across to the office, and make sure that it was all right. I turned the handle of the door a%d found it was locked. Then I got frightened, and I banged at the door, and shouted, and — well that was when Mr. Gillingham ar rived.” He went on to explain how they had found the body. The inspector looked at him wifli a smile. "Yes, well, we shall have to go over some of that again, Mr. Cayley. Mr. Mark, now. Did he say any thing?” "He said, ’Robert’s here?’ or some thing of the sort. I said, ’Yes’ and he gave a sort of shrug, and said, ’Don’t go tpo far away, I might want you;’ and then went in." "What did you think he meant by that?” "Well, he consults me a good deal, you know. I’m his sort of unofficial solicitor in a king of way.” “Yes. How Jong was it before you heard the shot?” "Two minutes, perhaps.” Thp inspector finished his writing, and then regarded Cayley thought fully. Suddenly he said: "What is your theory of Robert's death?” Cayley shrugged his shoulders. “You've probably seen more than I’ve seen.” he answered. “I cap only speak as a layman—and Mark's friend.” "Then I should say that Robert came here meaning trouble, and bringing a revolver with him. H® produced it almost at once. Mark tried to get it from him, there was a little struggle perhaps, and it went off. Mark lost his head, finding him self with a revolver in his hand and a dead man at his feet. His ono idea was to escape. He locked the door almost instinctively, and then when he heard me hammering at it, went out of the window." “Y—yes. Well, that sounds rea sonable enough. What do you say, Mr. Gillingham?” “I should hardly call it ‘reason able’ to lose your head,” said An tony. getting up from his chair and coming toward them. “Well, you know what I mean. It explains things." "Oh. yes. Any othef explanation would make them much more com plicated.” "Have you any other explana tion ?” "Not I." “Well now, about yourself. You’re not staying in the house. I gather?" Antony explained his pseeious movements. “Yes. Did you hear the shot?” “Yes. Just as I came in sight of the house. It didn't make any im pression at the time, but I remember it now.” “Where were you then?” "Coming up the drive.” "Nobody left the house by the front door after the shot?” "Nobody,” he said. "No.” "Thank you. You’re at ‘The George,’ if I want you?” "Mr. Gillingham is staying here until after the inquest.” explained Cayley. Continued in Next Issue. FLAG8—ROAD MAPS PICNIC SETS FRANK P.
