Putmam's fons. _(Continued from Yesterday’s Star.) You are ‘familiar with the physiog- nomy?” he inquired with a smile. “I have seen & great many of your countrymen in_London.” I replied. “Both in the West Fnd and in the Limehouse district. Ob, yes'—he was a Chinaman. Besides, Holliment all through our conversation referred to him as a Chingman.” “Do you think you could recognize Bim? be asked. “That I should hardly like to say. 1 answered. “I'm doubtful about ix. You must remember that I only saw :lm for a second—through the win- ow.” nd again, I think, when he and the other men broke into the stair- case.” he remarked. “Yes.” 1 agreed, “but that was in the light of streef lamps and so in a poor light. I merely saw that it was a Chinaman who broke in, Wwith others—not Chinamen—behind him.” “Holliment,” he continued. “He did Bot refer to the Chinaman by name’— any particular name?” “Oh, no—certainly not!” said L “I heard no name.” Mr. Bhen bowed as a sign that he had done with me and I turned to the others. They asked a few ques- tions about the wrecked car and if we had heard any rumors about Hol- liment and Quartervayne having been seen in the neighborhood on the morning of my being deposited in it, and when I had answered them they went away as unceremoniously as they had arrived. hat's only made the mystery all the greater.” remarked Peggie as we turned toward the house. “There's #ome big business at the back of all that. Chinese legation'—why should an official come down from there?. seems like a state affair.” “We shall hear more vet,” 1 said. But I heard no more for some days—heard no more of anything. Things went on quietly and as usual at Renardsmere House Then one morning, as 1 was writing letters, a footman came in with a card bearing lhe inscription Mr. Percy Neamore. entleman in the hall, sir. Wishes to see her ladyship on most impor- tant business.” he said It was my job to do the prelimi- nary interviewing of callers of this sort. 1 picked up the card and went into the hall. There, looking in- quisitively about him. stood an im- maculately attired, very self-assured young Jew. CHAPTER VIL The Check for £10,000. The hall door being open, I say at a glance how Mr. Percy Neamore, whoever he was, had contrived to pre- sent himself at Renardsmere House 50 early in the morning. At the foot of the terrace steps stood a convey- ance which 1 knew to have been hi.ed from our nearest station—it was the only vehicle to be had there. Evi- dently, then, our visitor had come down from town by the first morning train—which seemed to argue that his business was urgent. 1 tried to size bim up as 1 walked along the hall to him. He was, as 1 have said, immaculately attired. perhaps a little overdressed, if anything, and full of complacent self-assurance—certainly a Jew, and with something about him that suggested either money or dia- monds. His manners were good and | he bowed and smiled politely as 1| drew near. | ou wish to see Lady Renards-| | mere—personally?” 1 inquired. glanc- | ing at the card which I held in m hand. He bowed and smiled again suavely | “On business,” he answered. “Pri- busines “Lady Renardsmere is lea town in half an hour or so.” I re-| marked. I really don't know if| she’ll see anvbody this morning. As a rule she sees no one on business without an appointment. 1 am her private secretary. Can't you tell me what your business is He gave me another suave but firm smile at that and shook his very | black. curly “head. 'm afraid not.” he replied. “Sorry. but my business is with no one but Lady Renardsmere. Does she know “Well—no!" he answered after a sccond’s reflection. “But—may 1 have my card a minute?" 1 gave the card to him and he drew out a gold pencil-case and wrote something underneath his name. “If Lady Renardsmere sees that.” he said confidently. “she'll understand when she sees that Upon that I opened the door of a morning_room near by and. asking him to_be seated, went off to find Lady Renardsmere. he was just finishing breakfast. and had come down ready dressed for her journey to town. I gave her the card and explained that its presenter was awaiting her pleasure. I added that he wouldn't tell me what his business was. ‘Neamore?” she said, glancing at the name. “Don’t know him!" Then she looked at the penciled words be- neath, at which I myself had not troubled to look. ~Her tone altered. “Oh!" she continued. ‘Just so! Very well, take him into my office, Cran- age.” The room which Lady Renardsmere called her office was a small apart- ment opening out of the hall. It was more like a man's den than a woman’s boudoir and might have been taken for a tool shed more |easily than for either. There Lady (Renardsmere kept her own garden ing implements, her gardening garb |#nd shoes, her guns, fishing rods and all sorts of outdoor things. There, |too, she had shelves full of books abut racing and a set of “Ruff's | Guide ™ There, also, was a big desk {stuffed with papers, chiefly relating to her stud and its doings. At that desk whereat 1 presented s morning. she transacted all her bus ness. Here I conducted Mr. Percy Neamore, and, after digging a chair out of the accumulated confusion, bade him wait. A few minutes later through the open door of my own office_room close by I saw Lady Renardsmere go to him. The proceedings of the next half hour were, for that house, remark able. About ten minutes after Lad Renardsmere had joined her visitor Neamore came out of the room. bare- headed, and looking eminently pleased with himself, and. walking out of the front door to his convey- ance, paid its driver, who at once mounted his box and drove away Then Neamore went back to Lady Renardsmere and for the next quar- ter of an hour they were closely closeted. At the end of that time she came out and into my room. “Cranage,” she said, “give me my A account check book. I may want it _in town.” Since my arrival at Renardsmere House I had kept all its mistress’ check books. She had several, all re- ferring to different accounts. The one she now asked for related to what I considered her own private account. I got it out of the safe and handed it over. She put it away in her handbag: and, merely remarking that she supposed she'd be home some time during the evening or night, went back to her visitor. ~Ten minutes later her car came around to the front door, and presently she and Mr. Percy Neamore emerged from the sanctum and went out to it. Having a question to put to her before she left, 1 went out, too. To my astonish- ment Neamore had already entered the car and was making himself mighty comfortable in one of its| luxurioys corners Lady Renards- mere, still on the terrace steps, was glving orders to her chauffeur. “Go straight to the Ritz, Walker,” she commanded. “This gentleman and 1 are lunching there. Get me there by 1 o'clock sharp. After that you can take this car round to Park lane and I'll ring you up when I want you ing for | ou”" I asked. | a private affair, as 1 said. considerably mystified. Who on eart was Mr. Percy Neamore, thas Tady Renardsmere should carry him off to town and go to lunch with hm at the Ritz? Until three-fourths of an hour previously he had been an absolute stranger to her. Why this sudden in- timacy? Was it business? And !f so, what busineas? | remembered Nea- more’s card then and his scribbling cn it and 1 went into Lady Renards- mere’s room to see if 1 could find it. There it lay on her desk and I picked it up. But'I got no information from what Neamore had written. What he had written underneath his own name seemed to be the name of some firm or other—Gildenbaum and Roskin. I knew nothing about them, but some- how they seemed to fit in with what 1 had scen of Neamore. Lady Renardsmere had not return- ed when 1 went to bed that night, which was pretty late. but she evi- dently came home during the small hours, for she was in her business room ‘when I looked in at _the usual time next morning. She went through her letters with me and gave me instructions about them: then, as I was leaving the room. she handed me the eck book which I had given her the day before. She made no reference to having made use of it, but later on, when I was about to put it back in the safe, I looked into it to sec if she had drawn any check during her day in town. She had drawn one—there was the counter- foil. And. according to that, it had been a_check for £10,000, payable to Percy Neamore. 1 must here explain a peculiarity or fad, or practice of Lady Renards —whatever you like to call it. ve already said that she had sev- eral check books, all relating to dif- ferent accounts. It was her strict rule whenever a check was paid out for anything. however large, however €mall the amount, to have particulars of the payment posted up on the counterfoil. Thus, if 1 paid Holroyd so much for his weekly account for bay, straw or horse corn 1 had (o enter up on the counterfoil the pre- cise details. This practice was ad- hered to in the case of each check book and punctiliously observed by Lady Renardsmere herself as regards this private check book which she had just restored to me. It was a rule which she never broke, that she was meticulously particular about sticking to. But she had broken it in this instance. There was nothing on the counterfoil to show why Lady Renardsmere had paid Mr. Percy Nea- more £10.000. p 1 am neither more inquisitive nor less inquisitive than the average man—which means that I possess a fair share of proper and reasonable curiosity 1 was curious about this Neamore transaction—I wanted to know about it. And. taking advan- tage of my position and of my knowl- edge of her method of doing things, 1 carried the check bok back to Lady Renardsme®: and indicated the last cuunl(—rfull No particulars have been entered up ‘on this” I said in the most in- different and casual tone 1 could affect, at the same time watching her narrowly. There s nothing but name and amount.’ For about the only time that I re- member during my connection with her Lady Renardsmere showed her- self taken abac] ‘Um—er—well, never mind it this time, Cranage.” she said almost apol- ogetically. “It—it'’s a little private transaction of my own." “] drew your attention to it 1 said, “because it's your strict rule to enter these particulars on counter- 1s." O mow—1 know:" she answered hastily. “Quite right to point it out —that is my rule. But in this case— Of course, 1 know what the check was paid for! All right, Cranage—you were quite ru.'hv. in drawing my attention to it So 1 got mothing out of that, and I was as wise as ever as to why she had paid Mr. Percy Neamore so large a sum. Perhaps, 1 thought, it was a betting transaction. 1 knew that Lady Renardsmere bzcked her faney now and then, not only with regard to her own horses, but to those of other owners: 1 knew, too, that she wa backing Rippling Ruby heavily to win the Derby. Possibly this ten thousand pounds was a sum placed in Neamore's hands to be laid out amongst various turf commission agents. Only one thing was certain about it, however—it had been paid. and Lady Renardsmere and | Were the only people who knew why. Yet—there seemed to be some my tery about the matter - N\ coming was mysterious—his going up to town with Lady Renardsmere was mysterious—it was odd, too, that she c dn't or wouldn't fill that counterfoil However, there was more mystery at hand. I used to lunch in my own sitting room; just as 1 had finished that day and was slipping into an easy chair with my pipe and the newspaper. Lady Renardsmere sent for me. 1 found her in her office, and on the desk before her a small pack- et, neatly done up in stout notepaper and heavily sealed. By its side lay a letter with a name and address sprawled all over the surface of the envelope in Lady Renardsmere's su- per-sized handwriting. “Cranage.” she said, “vou've had lunch? Then 1 want You to do something for me. You see this let- ter and small parcel” I want you to take them vourself to my solicitor. Mr. Pennithwaite, in Lincoln's Inn up “Thigs afternoon?" 1 asked 4 " she answered. * e the Rolls-Royce—Walker's had his dinner, and he’ll run you up to town by half-past four. Penni- thwaite never leaves his office before five—you'll catch him easily. But Cranage——" here s3e paused, and in the excess of what, 1 could see, as a real anxiety, laid her hand on my arm as I stood by her—"Cranage! —promise me that you won't Stop the car and leave it anywhere—any where at all, on the wa “Certainl. y Renardsmere!” stammered. “Why should I stop it?” 'Oh, 1 don’t know!” she said. “Young men pull up, 1 suppose. to get a drink, or—that sort of thing. But_vou won't. will you, Cranage? You'll go straight from my door to Pennithwaite's?—you'll _take this parcel from my hand and this letter and think of nothing else until you've delivered them into his “Of course. Lady Renardsmere!" I protested. “T'll do exicatly what you ask. Give your orders to Walker— he's to go straight from here, with- out stop, to Lincoln's Inn Fields.” Yes,” she said. “Very well—he'll be ready in ten minutes.” Thank you. Cranage. And—where will you put these?* 1 showed her. I put the parcel—a tiny, three-inch-square thing—in my trousers’ pocket; the letter in a breast pocket. “Shan’t even touch them myself, Lady Renardsmere, till 1 hand them to Mr. Pennithwaite,” I said. “Re- gard them as safe as—as safe can be, . 1ad!” she ' replied. more “I felt I could trust you. when you've seen Pen- nithwaite, you'll be free. Get din- ner somewhere—a good one—make your own arrangements with Walk- er about bringing you back—any- thing, as long as you've delivered parcel and letter. Here!—that'll pay for your dinner, my boy! Before 1 could protest or stop her she had thrust a five-pound note into my hand and left the room. I went to get ready for my journey—when I came down again she was at the hall door, giving strict orders to walker. (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.) “Good cheerily. Well, now, Great Head Work. From the Ka City Sta Witey—1 thought you had better sense than to buy a cornet. You know the man next door worries us almost to death with his Iater on.” A moment later the big car moved off and I went back into the house Hubby—Calm yourself, That's the one 1 bought. my dear.
