Smart brought | me a cup of coffee. | “If you can drink it,” the doctor said, “it will do you . We've opened the windows, and the smell will scon be gone.” I took the coffee and felt better. “How did the fellow get in?" I asked Smart. “You locked the outside door, I suppose?’ | “Indeed, I did, sir,” the man replied. | “He must have got a pass key from somewhere.” The doctor felt my pulse and mur- | mured a word of commendation. “Nothing more I can do for you,” he announced. “You can have these bits of stuff back after I've sent them for analysis. So far as I can see, there will be no harmful effects whatever.” At half past 10, Mr. Yardsley was announced. He introduced himself, and we shook hands. “I have instructions, Maj. Owston,” he announced, “to put you in possession of certain information. You appear to have entered Martin Hews' service rather hurriedly.’ “That is quite true,” I admitted. “Into my client’s history there is no necessity to enter. Mr. Martin Hews is one of the greatest collectors of curios in the world, and, like a great many other collectors, he is, I regret to say, sometimes utterly unscrupulous as to the means by which he gains pos- session of his treasure: “I can imagine thal I murmured. “Professionally,” he went on, “it has suited my purpose to devote my whole energies to Mr. Martin Hews' affairs. They have brought me some very in- teresting work in various branches of the law.” “I should imagine,” I suggested, “that they have even brought you very near the criminal courts on more than one ozcasion.” At times, T must confess to vou. Maj. Owston,” my visitor acknowledg>Z, “that I have had difficulty with my client. He is a very shrewd man, but | e has the spirit of a buccaneer— a buccaneer, major—for whom there is very little place in this police-guarded and law-abiding world of ours. “The contents of Breezeley Mansion would be underinsured at 2,000,000 pounds, and, owing to the way in which some of those treasures came into my clients possession, he is not in a position to insure them. Any man, under such conditions, would be justi- fied in adopting strong measures for the Pprotection of his property. It is one of my dutles to keep my client within the law, so far as possible. “You may or may not know, Maj. ‘Owston, that, during the last*five years, there has been a curious change in the workings of the criminal world. Years ago, it was every man for himself. To- day it is a sort of fraternity. hin the last few months, two gangs. Joseph's and Donkin's, have practically wiped out all others, and barely a fortnight ago Donkin killed a man and has had gang in many of their exploits. He has financed them when it was necessary, and he has gone so far as to suggest to them various privately owned | traasures he wished to acquire, and for | which he was willing to pay a consider- abel sum. These affairs are conducted through an agent who keeps a sscond- hand art shop in Grafton street.” “But surely,” I ventured, “this is a criminal proceeding?” “Morally, Major Owston, without a doubt it is,” the lawyer assented. “It is my business to overlook the transac- tions in such a way that Mr. Hews re- mains technically outside the law. After this preamble, we now come to the situation that has arisen since Donkin’s flight. His gang is dwindling away. Most of them have joined the enemy. Today Joseph's gang is omnip- otent. d Joseph, I gather, is not exactly on friendly terms with Martin Hews.” | “For some reason or other,” Mr. ‘Yardsley confided, ‘‘there exists the most bitter enmity between them. | Only a month ago the Borghese ‘Medal- lions came into Joseph’s hands. An amazing daylight robbery, that! There was no limit to what my client was P to pay for these. Isaacs, his agent, did everything that was possible Every proposal was met with stony silence, and Joseph sold these medal- lions to & New York millionaire. The | same thing was repeated with a fif- teenth-century Italian landscape—a re- puted Leonardo da Vinci—for which my client was prepared to give five times its claimed value. Jouph‘ calmly sold it, d>mpletely ignoring Isaacs. Now recent events have made things worse. Mr. Martin Hews®was | responsible for Donkin's escape, and | he has given shelter at Breezeley | Mansion to the young weman whom Donkin had taken away from Joseph. 8o far, Joseph's efforts to regain pos- session of her have been unsuccessful, | and he has lost several of his best men. | Things now, I fear, have reached a | very dangerous crisis. I must pro- ncunce it as my considered opinion | that, before many weeks are past, either | Joseph will have Martin Hews' life, | or one of Martin Hews' people—it may even be you, Major—will get at Joseph and kill him. Martin Hews' passionate desire is to get rid of Joseph. I think there is no price he would not pay for that man’s life.” “In short,” I put it, “what you would like would be for Joseph to be killed. Pity I didn’t sleep with an automatic under my pillow last night. I might have arranged it for you.” “Do you mean that Joseph has been here?” I told my visitor the story and handed him the scrap of paper. He read it and handed it back. “I suppose you know what happened to your predecessor?” he asked. “I didn't even know that I had one.” “A fellow named Fotherway,” Mr.| ‘Yardsley confided. “Things hadn'.} developed quite 5o far as at present, and | Jhe thought he could do a little good as | a spy down in the East End.

I am not a man of violence, Maj. Owston, but I wern | you that you must never be without jour revolver or automatic pistol, which- ever of the two it is that you carry. You must never be misled by anonymous | letters or messages inviting you to| strange rendezvous. Your business, such as it is, will center round the West | End. Keep to the West End." “All right,” I conceded. “Now, is there anything definite I can start on? I want to work.” | “Quite natural” he agreed. “It is | my business to give you all the assist- | ance 1 can. In the first place, you will | various functions. Accept them all, and watch.” “Watch for what, particularly?” “We know for a certainty,” the law- yer explained, “that Joseph goes to many of the best houses in London, and | that it is from the information he has | gleaned as a guest that some of his ¢ most daring burglaries have been plan- | ned. From what I can gather, it is| seldom that he goes near the East End nowadays. There are a score of police around that particular district, not far from the heart of the city, where they think his headquarters are, and they are also watching his place in Shore- ditch, where it is reported that he has been seen, but my belief is that he hasn’t been near any of these haunts for months, that he has spent his time in the West End, and that, when he moves eastward again, it will be for a very brief visit and to an unknown rendezvous.” “You have sples of your own about, then?” “Certainly,” he admitted. “Any more hints for me?” I asked. Mr. Yardsley produced a paper. “Besides the invitations I am arrang- ing,” he said, “there are several restau- rants and night clubs where Joseph is reported to have been seen—the Milan Restaurant, for instance, and the Blue Skies Club. There are others, but these are the most likely. Lunch or dine at the Milan whenever you have the op- portunity, and visit the Blue Skies Club as soon as you have an evening to spare.” With that, Mr. Yardsley picked up his hat and bade me good morning. He had left a card upon the table. “You will find my address and tele- phone number there,” he said, “but don’t communicate with me personally; 1fll’l other words, do not come near my of- I presented myself at Christie’s at the appointed time, and was attracted by the appearance of a singular-looking man scated in a chair just underneath the auctioneer’s rostrum. I was not sur- prised when someone addressed him as Mr. Isaacs. The sale was dull, at first. About half an hour after proceedings were opened, however, there was a stir in the room. ‘The auctioneer leaned forward. “We come now,” he announced, “to the Martellion miniatures, ladies and gentlemen. My instructions are to offer them first en bloc, and, if I fail to get a satisfactory price for them, to ask yon to bid for them singly. I would sug- gest an initia) bid of 7,000 guineas for the seven miniatures.” I glanced about, trying to guess who the bidders might be at such a price. Refore I looked back at the auctioneer, the bidding had reached 11,000. watched Isaacs closely, and, for the first time, I saw a faint nod. He went on until the price stood at 20,000 guineas. The auctioneer raised his hammer. “The bid is 20,000 guineas with you, Mr. Isaacsi Going then at 20,000 guineas. Going—" “Tventy-von,” came a voice from somewhere in my vicinity. ‘The man who had suddenly entered the arena seemed the least likely per- son in the world to have bid 21,000 guineas for a collection of miniatures.

The name was evidently known to the young man, whose manner became more respectful. “You understand the terms of the sale, sir?” “Quite vell.” “You will be prepared to pay for the miniatures, if they ere knocked down to you before you leave the room?" The stranger produced a capacious wallet and revealed a great wad of notes. “Dese are 1,000 pounds, he pointed out. “Dey com from your Bank of England, dis morning.
