Anyhow, dur- |ing the first afternoon I was there T got a note from her, asking me to go and see her that evening.” “You haven't got that note, of course, Mrs. Renton?” inquired Smith. Mrs. Renton immediately unclasped her bag. “Oh, but of course I have!" she an- swered. “Hero it is.” She threw a much-crumpled sheet of cheap notepaper on the table, and {Smith picked it up and drew the at- tention of the other three men to it. 1t was dated from Laburnum Terrace and bore traces of having been hur- riedly written. “Dear Mrs. Renton: 1 learn from the paper that you are staying at Claridge’s fotel. I should be so grate- |ful to you if you would come and see me at the above address this evening jabout $:30 o'clock. 1 am sorry to trouble you, but I am sure you will come when I tell you that 1 am in very great trouble. “Your, sincerely, “SOPHIA BROCK.” “That's Miss Brock’s writing, I sup- pose, Tress?” asked Smith. “You know it”" | “Oh, that's her writing all Tight” ~ted Darrell. “Bit scrawly, but it's hers” Smith handed the note back. “So you wen tthere, Mrs. Renton he remarked. “As I had no engagements for that levening, 1 did go.” replied Mrs. Ren- ton. “Icertainly thought it a strange irequest, and I couldn’t think why it {was particularly made to me, nor why |Miss Brock couldn’t come to my hotel.

She didn’t, or couidn't, tell me what the trouble was to which she referred in this letter; she talked dis- {jointedly; she was perpetually going to the window and looking out on the street “As if she expected somebody, eh?" interrupted Smith. “I don't know whether she expected anybody or not” said Mrs. Renton. “I only know what she and that she was restless and uneasy. And in the middle of it all a telegram came to_her, and—" “Ah!™ exclaimed Smith knowingly at Hextall. “Yes" he went on, turning again to Mrs. Renton! “A telegram, eh? And what then? She read it, of course, in your presence.” “She read it in my presence and she burned it in my presence,” answered Mrs. Renton. “There was a bedroom candle standing on a sideboard in her sitting room, and she lighted it and burned the telegram before me as soon as she'd read it. And then she said—I give yon her words as near as 1 can remember them—'Oh, Mrs. Ren- ton, I can't talk or tell you anything tonight—will you please go away and let me come and see you in a day of two” And I saw that she was so upset about something that I went— there and then.” “And—that's all7* asked Smith, with a keen glance at the narrator. “All!" replied Mrs, Renton, with de- cisive promptitude. “I left without hearing why she wanted me, or what was the matter, or—or anything. And I neither saw her, nor heard of her, un- til T bought a newspaper about noon to- day and learned that her body had been found. And now, reaily, Mr. Smith, what would you advise me to do?” Smith appeared to consider this question; the others silently and idly watched him—with the exception of Styler, who quietly seribbled a line on a scrap of paper and unobtrusively pushed it along the table under his master's notice. “Well, that question requires soms thinking over, Mrs. Renton' said smith at last. “And before i answer it, I'd like to ask you a question or two. Did you know Miss Brock at all wel He glanced exclaimed Mrs. Renton in evi {dent surprise. " “Dear me, no! should I know her? 1 met her at Mr. | Tress' house—now and then. Once or twice I met her on the roads necar Lynne Court, or in the village at Lynne, when she had Mr. Tress' little brother with her. No, I didn’t know the poor thing at all—beyond that.” “So that there was no reason, that peal to you?' suggested Smith. “None! That made me so surprised. added Mrs. Renton, thought- y, “all the more astonished when, having appealed to me, and I having responded, she seem to have nothing to tell me on my going to her. 1In fact, I was thoroughly muystified, amazed, by the whole affair.”” “Just 50, said Smith. “Now, have you told all this to any one beyond ourselves?

Saltzman for contributing to the success of the ghow by installing the publio speech ampjifying system. “The Army did a lot to make this radio show a suo- cess, but not the least is its ready furnishing of the loud speakers, the microphones and the power cart in the basement, and the bashful Louis Evans to_run everything.” said Mr. Clark. “So when you recall what a fine show you saw tonight, remem- ber especiaily the Signal Corps.” ‘While Harland Randall was singing “Little Mother of Mine” to the visit- ors at the show about 10:30 o'clock last night a flame shot out of the microphoro which was carrying his rich baritone voice to the loud speak- ers. Mr. Randall, with his quick ce of mind, continued his song and many in the throng were un- aware what had happemed.
