You, sir, will you kindly do your job as quick ly as possible and leave? Mother, you'd better stay here with me. He wants the cook and Millie in the same room. I¥o you mind?” | “No, of course.” | My mother had come to my side and taken my arm. She squeezed it hard and I saw that she was looking at the safe. I gathered her under my arm to reassure her. | “If you touch that bell,” said to the police officer, “I will tell the cook and the maid to come here.” i He pressed the button. { “You just missed Somerfield, “mother,” said I “He’s going to Lon- don this afternoon and down to Oxford tomorrow. Going to take that photograph I wanted of Town Tower.” | “Splendid,” she said. “Oh, Millie” to the girl who came in, “tell the cook to come in here, and come with her yourself.” ; While we talked the police offi- cer, unhappy man, had been peer- ing around the studio. It was a bare room and contained no poten- tial hiding places. “I'll have the key of that safe and the combination,” said he. I took not the slightest notice of the remark. His eyes began to glint. “Did you hear what I said?” “No,” I replied. “I never hear rude statements.” i I treated the man abominably and was thoroughly ashamed of it. But I had to make an atmosphere and I made it. His confidence visibly wilted. Then my mother came to his rescue. “I'm sure if there's anything pri- ate in your safe, Tom, the gentle- man will respeet it” said she, sweetly. ' Magic! THe truculent policeman fell at her feet. He remarked: “I'm searching for one thing only, madame—the thing indicated in the warrant, and of course I'm inter- ested in nothing else, and if I see anything else I shall forget it.” He was a beautiful liar—in fact we were all beautiful liars, and my mother the most beautiful of all. I myself then opened the safe. It was quite small — with two shelves. It containeéd nothing but bundles of paper and a little cash box. s Mr. Hallett gave one look inside and said: “Thank you, hat’ll do.” So began the police search of ‘Woodcot.
