’HIGH SCHOOL TRAGEDY* -

’ 'CHAPTER XVII “Fellow I was talking to dida’t know. Her name ii Bernice Carter Resides in San Francisco, he says. She lives in an apartment in th< Sunset district, alone apparently. No one there knows much about her. She has been there about three weeks, is very quiet, goes out most every afternoon, but doesn’t seem to have a job. has no callers except this Lloyd.” “She must have money. How mysterious!” “Yeah. Weil, don't worry your pretty head about it, Miss Julie. Probably she ts some well-to-do young woman who has come here to write or paint or something; he probably met her at the artist’s colony in Carmel I just wanted you to know that we are working on that angle, and I don’t want you to be too disillusioned if we find out there ia more to it than you think.” Naturally, I worried about it. I knew the Inspector was telling me less than he knew or thought, that there were some possibilities that he wasn't suggesting to me at all. It looked as if he were concentrating on Bruce, as if he wanted to find him guilty. I thought he was probably frank enough in saying that he was telling me in order to prepare me *or what might happen. As a matter of fact, I think he was warning me. “Well,” I answered rather sadly, “I can't believe he’s the man. But you will find out now whether he is or not. Why do you think he would do itT" The Inspector hesitated a minute, and he looked away when he spoke. “Little Julie, tne world is a queer place. A young man falls in love with a girl during a romantic summer. In the prosaic fall, he finds she is just another girl to him. one he bkes and respects but with whom he is not particularly anxious to spend the rest of his life. Then to add to his growing dissatisfaction, he meets another woman who is everything he can desire, summer or fall, or at least so he thinks. He tells the first girl he is through, but she won't believe it. We may even find that she tried to hold him to the engagement. Maybe he came to see her, quarrelled violently with her, and then shot her to be rid of her. People do lots of things that sound mad, from various emotions, such as anger, for instance." I knew he was trying to make me understand, that he was speaking carefully. I didn’t want to believe it, and I rebelled against the thought. “But, Inspector,” I cried, “you are just imagining all that from what I told you and from the fact that he called on a girl three times!” “From that and also from the fact. Miss Julie, that the girl, Bernice Carter, was with Lloyd in Sacramento the day he tried to phone Constance Sinclair, the day he sent her the yellow roses telling her their wedding plans were cancelled!” * • * Well, these new developments were startling. After the Inspector had gone on, and after Mother came out, I thought about them all the way home. I felt that Bruce Lloyd had thrown nie down. Here I had 1 believed in him, had fought for him, and all the time he had been in love with this blonde. It wasn’t that I was actually in love with him myself. It is hard to explain. But he was the ideal of the kind of man I’d ■ want to marry when I did get around to it. I had been disappointed in him when he admitted letting Connie but I had still admired him. I had excused him for it by emphasizing to myself the reasonableness and courage of analyzing a marriage before you got into it, of not going through with it unless one were sure of companionship and permanence. They all fitted into rav own ideals. But to have thrown Connie over for another woman was a different thing, and for one who was so mysterious, too. This Bernice may be a beautiful woman, I thought, but she doesn’t sound quite nice. Anyway, I knew why Dad couldn’t get away. He had found out the police were hot on Bruce's trail again and had remained in case I Lloyd should need him. I But when we got home. Dad was ' there, talking on the telephone and very much excited. I found out I

In the negotiations. "It was clear that Italy would • rest i violently to the imposition 1 of such u sanction," he said. In affirming that Britain was not afraid of Italy, he explained, "but 1 I feared a lightning spark that might light n European confiagraI Uon." Sir Samuel warned that unless the world henceforth recognises the fact that au aggressor can strike speedily, "either the league i must break up or a most uuantisfactory peace will result fngu the conflict."

>as somewhat wrong. It was a niora erious situation than I had thought. Dad had received a letter from 3ruce which confirmed all my fears md certainly played right into the Inspector's hands. This was it: San Francisco, November 12. 193Dear Mr. Martin: I am aorry that circumstances force me to a new decision which I know will cause you some embarrassment. I hope to relieve you of that em barrassment very soon. But the fact is that I find it necessary to leave San Francisco for a few days. I cannot say where I am going nor can I give you or

anyone else any explanation as to why. I expect to be back in three or four days. I do not know how closely the police are watching me; it may be that I will not get far. In that case, things will look very bad for me, I know. But whether I succeed or not, the next few days will be difficult for you. When I return, if allowed to, of my own free will, you will be cleared. I am sorry for your angle of this. You and Mrs. Martin have been most kind to me. You have show n faith in me. Try to keep that faith a little longer. I assure you I am innocent and I do this because of necessity. Sincerely yours, BRUCE LLOYD. That knocked the pins right out from under all of us, so to speak. I don't know which of us thre“— Dad, Mother, or myself—felt the worst. I guess it was Dad, for Mother was inclined to retain a blind faith in the “boy,” and I was more or less prepared for something to happen. Dad was a hardheaded lawyer who had given his own word for the man’s good faith, and he certainly had been let down, even taking the letter at its face value. He was talking to the Inspector, it turner! out, when we came in. Os course, he reported the letter to him immediately. O’Brien was getting to work at once. Dad sat around waiting for the telephone to ring. “I can’t believe he’d run away,” Mother repeated over and over. “You will find it is just as he says: he has to go for some reason. When his business is completed, he will come back.” “No doubt,” said Dad sarcastically. “The only trouble is that his

I Pierro Laval's coalition cabinet was brought close to the crisis i stage today while he, at Geneva, was watching the country s Inter- • eat in league council work on the Italian-Ethiopian problem. The resignation of Edouard Her-, riot, minister without portfolio, as ; loader of the radical socialist party I - the hugest in the chamber ot deputies, and essential to the cabi-net-brought many predietiona that lotval soon must go. But this seemed not so likely us the goverumeut's enemies believed It was indicated rather that Laval, with the support ot Herriot, would tight on and that the radi

business is probably in a foreign country and will detain him for some ten years!” I was too busy adjusting my own ideas to say anything. Finally the telephone rang. Dad jumped at it. “Hello, helio! Yes, this is he. . .. Yes, yes. .. He did? Why didn't he follow him? .1 don’t blame you. ... In a blue car with three others? ... Os course, yes. yes. . . Let me know at once, won’t you?” This conversation was not very enlightening. During it, Allen had come in and Mother had told him what we already knew. He was awfully excited. When Dad turned away from the telephone, we all

just looked at him. He ran his hand over his head and slumped into his chair. “ O'Brien has had a report from San Francisco. The man who was supposed to be shadowing Bruce, called him up to tell him he had seen Bruce drive out of town, taking the ferry to Sausalito.’’ , “Where was he?” “He was phoning from a booth at the ferry slip for further instructions while Bruce drove on the boat and sailed away.” “How dumb!” “O’Brien is cussing a blue streak. I’m afraid the fellow is in line for walking a beat again. Anyway, O’Brien has teletyped ahead to watch all roads leading north. Os course, they may be picked up when they leave the boat at Sausalito.” “They?” questioned Allen. “He is accompanied by another man and two women.” “One of them a blonde,” I whispered to myself. Dad looked at me quickly, but he didn’t take me up on it ‘hen. “They are traveling in a blue sedan, evidently trying to make the Canadian border. Seems strange they would go so far to get out of the country when it is so much shorter to Mexico. They must have sonic good reason.” Allen was flushed, excited, nervously pacing up and down. “There, you see!” he exclaimed, “I’ve been right about him all along. He’s a bounder, a traitor! You’ll see. lie’ll turn out to be the one who murdered her . . . the sweetest, kindest, prettiest girl in all the world!” The last vords were a shriek. As he yelled tlu_‘in at us, Allen ran from the room, tears coursing dow his cheeks. “Well!” ejaculated Dad. (To Be Continued) Ct tlfht, Ki>i< Featurw Jirndbiiß Ina.
