"WEEK-END MURDER"
(Continued from Page 3.) nesssy plunged with gusto into the battle. Logic he had pone nor, Linda observed, any more toler ance than Cousin Amos. But the' sweep of bla rich vocabulary and his pootle forvor-to any nothing: of a voice which under the stress of exeltement rivaled the Bull of Bashan's swept the discussion from his own restless island straight across Europe to the no, less East. By sheer spate of words he might have won, had he not been so unwise as to quote disparagingly a supposed official order to English troops in India.

Instantly he mot flat contradic- tion from Statlander, speaking with the curt brevity of a military officer to an inferior or of a school- master-and a bad-tempered one- to the clasa dunce, The direct challenge of personal knowledge (the man did seem to know India and recent happenings there!) might have checked Shaughnessy had not his temper been lashed so higli,
Undaunted, he took on this new opponent, roaring down with flory invective the rain of concrete with which the middle Facts westerner assailed him. At last Marvin Pratt, whose gathering frown had been turned first to- ward one contestant, then to the other, broke in with the skill- of a trained speaker and, after a moment of out-roaring each, managed to win momentary silence and skirted the political Issue neatly, focusing attention on an anecdote of the Khyber Pass and his own periences in the Himalayas. Tam deferentially asked Satatlander for the exact height of a newly dis- covered peak and the bait worked. Peace was established and Linda felt rather weak.

"Why will Cousin Amos start set- ting people right on the slightest provocation?" she thought, rement- bering similar unhappy occasions. "However, both these men egged him on. First I thought they all had travel In common and now I can add something else a terrible temper."
Then she remembered that one voice remained unheard. She turn- ed, half-laughing, to the man on her right. He was, looking not at her, but at the still smoldering com. batents, and utter contempt, un- masked, etched his finely cut fen- tures into repellant harshnces. Feeling her glance, he turned, but without attempting to wipe from his face that contemptuous look. He must assume her agreement in all that I said of her guests. His nod included with equal scorn the oratórical Cousin Amos, slightly miffed and now limiting his au- dience to his dinner partner, and the Celt whose once ingratiatingly boyish face had gone white and bit- ter with the temper of his argu- ment.
"Over things lower than human," sail that gentle, slightly accented vice beside her, its quiet syllables dripping like fee into her brain. "These animals-serfs-in India. I have seen them!" He shrugged. Their rights! England is too kind. better in our They did things
