"WEEK-END MURDER”

(Continued from Page 8.).

I can assure you sider, Davos. that you need have no further contact with Mr. Peabody,"

Yet driving home with the de cidedly subdued party (Linda had gone ahend with the still dazed Cousin Amos) Tom wondered in agunized uncertainty what she would say, whether he had done the right thing, and how they would manage tactfully to get rid of the older man.

Walting in their room for Linda -Rosic had given him her mes sage that her cousin was feeling decidedly unwell and that, she would stay with him until he was more comfortable-Averill sighed over the whole situation,

For the first time he realized an- other growing cause of discom- fort the rising, ominous hent; brooding more and more heavily over the still water and land. To the physical and mental depres sion was added the sharp poig- nancy with which, on returning honte, he had missed the welcome of the little white dog.. Poor old Bunty-so loyal and sturdy and lovable low long they had had her and what a faithful, patient little friend she had been to them nl Hard to realize she hnd копе--

And how she had gone! That had been in the back of his mind all these last hours. Shaughnes- Rey, Statlander, DeVos, Pratt Linda thought one of these had done it. To-day, all of them-ex- cept Pratt-And shown anch ghastly tempers. Murderous tem- pers? Yes, he could honestly say that they seemed sufliciently in- tense.

Why didn't Linda come? Ho must talk to her. He had prom- ised Devon, the old man should go and that he should go at once. It was nearly dinner time-ah, at Inst! That was her step-

She anticipated him, troubled, half-ashamed opening sentence.

You "Yes, Tám, he has to go. can't help it. He can't either, in his way, poor old man. But you're responsible for this party and af- ter that scene there's nothing else to do. But not to-night-no, hon- estly He won't come down to dinner. He's feeling quite wretch- ed, poor thing!" She smiled a little. "I bounced him back pretty roughly, I'm afraid. I was sore, Toni! And the excitement and the sun and the Rlenhol have been too much for him, I'll send him up a tray. He wants to get home anyhow-like all men, when anything afls them!"

I suppose he exaggerates his misery just as he does his good health."

"Exactly, Feels he can have proper care and attention only where his diflicult case is under-

stood. Frankly, I think his nose is out of joint, even aside from the quarrels. He's used to being an oracle and the centre of every family group and we just haven't had time to kotow to him prop-

erly. It was partly that feeling that made him assert himself so can't violently. But he says he stand the train trip to-night and certainly I don't want to have him go to a hotel in town, particularly as one of us would have to go to New York with him if he did go to-night."

"Well-if he keeps to his room and gots off early enough--"

"He will, darling. I promise! He won't appear this evening at all and to-morrow morning every- one else will be sleeping late after the dance to-night. We can get him off without his seeing anyone... poor old thing!"

"Yes, I hate to hundle him off that way, But If he's suggested it himself it certainly makes it casier for us. You are a peach, Binks."

"Foor darling!" She kissed his hot, wet forchend. "Don't worry so, lomb! It'll be a lovely party, just as we planned, after he's

Bone,"

"You forget Bunty."

Linda's face went white under her tan-partly from the savage- meas of his tone, partly because in her desire to cheer his depression she actually had forgotten this un- explained mystery.

How terrible!

Tom-I did!

And I forgot-I forgot all this af ternoon that it was one of those men!" Their eyes met.

"Have you decided which one?" eho asked.
