And it seems to me that things are wrong! ‘There at York they know nothing about Sanderson and Sadler going abroad. The man I saw—chap who said he was the general manager—didn't know that the society had any interests in the Argentine. And he'd never seen Sadler nor Sanderson, for a month—not since the general meeting, in fact. How- ever, I did get something out of him— and a nice thing to think of, too, when you've tofled for your money as I have!” “What was it, Mr. Rowbotham?" asked Engleden, sympathetically. ““Why, this, sir! All the money that's been paid into that society is in the hands of Sadler and Sanderson! Every penny that's pald in or collected at any of the branch offices is transmitted to Sadler—he's absolute control over FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1930. C—-7 does this mean? This is from Mrs. Sanderson in London. Listen! “‘Superintendent of Police, Barows- burgh: Do you know anything of whereabouts of Mr. Sanderson or of Hewitt?

Please Wire me at once, and if nothing known there, set inquiries on foot immediately. “‘MRS SANDERSON, “‘Great Northern Hotel, London.”* ‘The three men stared ac each ather. “What d'ye make of that, now?” de- manded Mallison. “They didn’t get to London-~wherever else they went!” “If what is sald there is true, re- “It mightn't be, you marked Shoreham.

Wait here a minute, gentlemen. I've some- thing more to say to you.” He strode off to the post office, Pres- ently he returned. “I've replied that nothing's known here of the whereabouts of either Mr. Sanderson or his butler and the news- papers reported last night that Mr. 8an- derson, in had left England for South America. And I've said more. myself to advise her to return at once.” “‘No, And Il And what can I company with Mr. Sadler, I've taken it on “Well, Mr. A Pound Box of Chocolate Covered Horlicks CANDY TREAT A pound box of Mammy Lou Chocolate-covered Horlicks and a pound box of Mammy Lou Maple Nut Fluffs. “Be Sure to Take Home a Treat” Both for 69c.

My advice to you—but per- haps Mr. Engleden there can give you better advice. He's a limb of the law and I'm not. What do you suggest, Mr. Engleden?” “What I suggested is probably what you were about to suggest,” replied Eng- leden. “Mr. Rowbotham should at once consult his_ solicitor, tell him what he fears, get hold of some fellow share- holder in this society and insist on an immediate investigation. If what he fears is true, application should be made at the court at once.” “Exactly what I was go to say,” assented {hllhfln. “thmllhmf ‘wouldn’t have put it in that phraseology.

It's this—I know a man who could prob- ably—I ‘s&y pfobably—tell something about Sadler and Sanderson, if he only will; if I can persuade him, in the in- terests of )fnnfie. ‘That's Mr. Dowling, manager_[of rowsbu! and District Bank.

And, if I get anything out of him, I'l let you know, gentlemen—you'll be found at the castle, of course?” He bustled off, and Engleden and Shoreham returned to the hotel. And at nearly 9 o'clock in came Mallison, obviously primed with the news. (To be continued.) —_— Chinese are taking a fancy to candied DANCE TABLEAU GIVEN.

He dined at home, according to his housekeeper, and then went out—he's a bachelor, is Bratten,” said Mallison. “Lives by " | himself, with a servant or two, in an old house near the Castle. He went out after dinner, and never returned. Nobody knows where he is.” “What are you going to do?” in- Engleden. “I don't know what to do! Of course, if what Mr. Rowbotham fears is true—" “What does Mr. Rowbotham fear?” asked Shoreham. Rowbotham made a face expressive st. very plain language!” he ans R “It's going to be a bad job, this! It's going to be another case of misplaced confidence on the part of a gullible , | public, of which I'm one.” “You think these two, perhaps three, men have run away with the funds of the soclety?” suggested Shoreham. “Well, now, have you any idea what these funds would amount to, in the o aggregate? “I should say nobody has any idea what they amount to in the aggre- gate,” replied Rowbotham—*“that is, no- body but those who've got 'em!
