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.”

'•yes. 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.
