BARKES HAS \ THEORY
CHAP1' ft XV
Trnr:N Sidn... came dowt in
. u- mi rning lie found Henry
lV..:-es wiudni; for hiia at the
draw ng rinini floor.
'I'd like to talk pi ivntely with
v'ou, Mr. Bi.itwood," the chauf-
feur said,
"What's on your mind?" Sidney
foliowtd the nui'i into the room.
"It's about Murphy," Barkcs ex-
plaiti. d. "Owing to the a.oi in, the
p.,or de\'il had done double du y.
Me Was so wet and cold 1 opened
if)i a bottle. He took a bij' one
and it really hit him. I imagine
that's.how he happened to fall
usieep. Anyway, we got to talking
—he said a lot."
"Grew confidential?" Sidney
wondered if the bin trooper's
"confidences" had been dictated
by Captahi Plowman.
"I'm not sayine that 1 agree
with him, but after to'ling me
something of what the irve-t illa-
tion had revealed, he let out that
he was a theater hou.id."
"A th 'ater Lauud?"
"Ye-, likes p.ays. And lie ha?
often seen Miss Hempflelt. He's
seen her faint on th'j tage. S. vs
she docs it like lite."
B.aitwood whistled. MartaV
n ting ability woulu d her no
good, all things cotisideied, but
lie had not cxpettcd this \e; ion
so soon.
* * #
'•TT'S Murphy's opinion that ?Ii's
Hemp field knew of Mr. L>.ng-
don's marriage and that she :u-
ranged with the Jap to ask her
down," Barkes went on. "Site had
him say Mr. La'ngdoni to! 1 1 iin to
do i(. The Jap lik<her and would
do what he was told.
"Murphy figures that Mr. Lang-
don stood on the oloc.k with the
new lioness so that he roiud be in
a position to watch th' door, and
at the same time hear anyone
coming out of the shaft."
"Logical reasoning, had it been
light. Unfortunately for his idea,
it was pitch dark," Brailwood
commented. Lungdon's pos ition
puzzled him, too. but he did not
agree with Murphy concerning it.
"Granted the darkness, but the
lioness is half way between the
only possible entrances so that a
man could best defend them from
such a spot. And there were oc-
casional flashes of lightning,"
Barkes argued.
"Y"=, there were," Sidney ad-
mitted.
.".I.u'phy believes that Miss
ii' !> I'.ield helped herself to a gun
the ;.um . ek, and when she got
iMi. Longdon—whom she
seen when the lightning made
ii.m visible for a second—she fired
and .then faked a faint."
"It is i solution that will occur
to many," Sidney granted, "but
;t fails to hold water. Only the
in tn of Miss Hempfield's skirt was
blood-stained, and there were red,
Iwushliko mark4 which her long
dress h-d made in sweeping away
fro.ti thct ilo.l at I.angdon's feet
when slu? fell. That proves that
tr.e blood had already formed in
a pool befose-"-h" faint '(I. It takes
a little time for blood 11 seep from
a man's s-' oulder, tl rough his
clothing to the floor."
...
**T DIDN'T agree with Murphy
B a r k e s reassured Sidney.
"Here's my own theory—for what
it's worth."
"Let's hem- it, Barkes."
"The Jap looms out."
'"I fail to set- it."
' For many reasons. He told me
Lnni'don had promised to remem-
ber him in his will. Men change
their wills after marriage."
Sidney knew this to be true, but
hi' made tjo comment.
"That jap didn't like the mar-
riage. A new mistress seldom
keeps old servants connected with
her husband's bachelor life."
"You score there. What else,?"
"Togi searched the furnace room
while Mr. Gundrum looked around
the storei oom. He could have
slipped back into the Jungle, done
the murder and then have joined
vou upstairs. He could have
locked the door when he brought
in the lamps, too."
"Possible, but I hardly think
Togi's the type."
"Type or not, that little gun
which Murphy claims was the
murder weapnn was on the rack
when I cleaned it yesterday morn-
ing."
"You saw the Lilliput on the
rack?"
"I certainly did. I wasn't en-
gaged to do maid's work but the
Jap had to get the house in some
kind of order before the family
arrived so I finally turned in and
helped him. I admit I grumbled
at it."
" ,'v'hat rise fa-ors your theory?"
"Before Mr. Langdon rang for
him, Togi must have been upstairs.
He had an opportunity to go into
I.angdon's bedroom and look for
money, or a possible new will.
Who else was there with a simi-
lar chance?"
"No person, since you have an
alibi, unles.. Langdon upset the
room himself before he came
down."
'"I've one more link in the
chain," Barkes boasted. "Early
this morning I found Togi at the
back door talking to anotht ■ Jap
who works at the village inn. A
fellow called Shorty. I'll bit a
tenner whatever was stolen was
passed on to him."
"I'll have 'Shorty' looked up,"
Sidney suid. "Bitter keep these
theories to yourself, Barkes. Togi
may be putting two and two to-
gether against you if you don't."
"Hes tried that," Barkes said,
grimly. "He insisted I was in the
hall when he got there last night.
The truth is, 1 all but stumbled
over him when I ran out."
"Nevertheless, keep quiet," the
lawyer insisted.
• * *
TfTITII an idea of looking over
the position of the new lioness
to see if there might indeed be
reason in Barkes' deductions, Sid-
ney went on down to the Jungle.
But study tbe situation as he
would, he could see no logical
reason for Adam Langdon's pe-
culiar position. t
Why had he not crossed to ti e
coffee table to reassure his wife?
Why had he moved to the center
of the room, mounted a block of
highly polished wood, and stood
there until an assassin's bullet
found him? There were no an-
swers.
As Braitwood stood, trying to
find a solution, he was startled by
a faint "Hum." Turning, he saw
Craig Gundrum staring at him.
"Gundrum!" he exclaimed. "I
didn't see you when I came in."
"I wasn't here." Craig smiled.
"I saw you coming down this wiv
and X wanted to find out if I could
get in here unnoticed."
"You put one over on me." Sid-
ney admitted. "But last night I
had concentrated on the door.
Just now I hadn't."
Before they could go on with the
argument, Pat Langdon rushed in.
"Have you seen Nella?" she
asked in a disturbed tone.
"Nella? No." Sidney replied.
"What's happened to Nella?"
"Hugh remained with her until
she fell asleep last night." Pat
told them. "He said she didn't ap-
pear to know him, but just dozed
off.
"This morning I had her on my
mind, after what she said she had
dreamed. When she failed to come
down for breakfast, I went up to
her room.
"She isn't there. No one has
seen her. I can't imagine where
she is."

«uw.i. .ne ji.ui Mcurfcu aihi uay vvho have two of the
principal rcles in "Foreign Correspondent", the Walter Wanger
thrilling production which opens at the palace theatre for a
two day engagement starting TODAY "Foreign Correspondent"
is the screen story of the American newshawks who are respon-
sible for the European news which you read at your breakfast
table. McCrea is cast in the title role with Day, Herbert Marshall,
Robert Benchlcy, Georcj; Sanders and Albert Bassernmn in sup
port. The direction is by Alfred Hitchock, England's leading me-
gaphonist v.!io brought "Rebecca" to the screen with such fidelity.
Critics are unanimous in their opinion that "Foreign Correspon-
dent" eclipses the scren efforts o fthe Du Maurier novel.
