THINK we may as well have lunch straightaway,” Sir Wil- liam continued. “Personally, I prefer a glass of sherry, but perhaps I am a trifie old-fash- ioned.” “As far as sherry’s concerned,” I replied, “I suffer from the same mis- fortune.” “Come along then.” He shepherded me through a second door into the ad- joining room, where a small round table was already laid for two. In the center was a silver bowl filled with fragrant red roses, while on a hand- some Jacobean sideboard stood an en- couraging array of bottles and de- canters. I began to feel that notwithstand- ing his somewhat masterful appear- ance Sir William and I would get along together excellently. He talked away pleasantly enough while we were being helped to grouse and French salad, but it was not until the manservant had left us that he made any approach to the subject of his letter. glass of claret which he had been sip- ping, he stared at me across the roses. “Do you know why I have asked you here?” he inquired bluntly. “I can only think of two reasons,” I replied. “One is that you are in- terested in murder trials and the other- " I paused. “Well?”. “The other is that you are inter- ested in something else.” “I wonder,” he said slowly, “if you will be offended at my ng plainly.” “Not in the least,” I assured him. “When I wrote you that letter I had just finished reading a verbatim report of your trial. It had left me in some doubt, but on the whole I was inclined to think that you were guilty. Since meeting you, however, I have changed my opinion. I always trust my own judgment of men, and I am convinced now that the jury was right.” “I had nothing to do with Osborne’s death,” I said, “nothing whatever.” “So I believe, and I apologize for my mistake.” I laughed a trifle mirthlessly.

No doubt several people knew about it, and I imagine that one of them bumped him off in order to steal the secret.” His expression remained quite un- altered. “There was no suggestion of this in your defense. “I had no evidence,” I explained. “Since then one or two things have happened which have helped to open my eyes.” “I should be extremely interested to hear what they are.” “And I should be extremely inter- ested,” I retorted, “to hear how they concern you.” “Well, that seems a very legitimate curiosity.” He fingered his wine glass thoughtfully. “Suppose we make a bargain, Mr. Trench. I am perfectly willing to lay my cards on the table provided you will be equally candid with me. For different reasons we are both anxious to get to the bottom of this mystery. As it happens I can supply & good deal of information about Osborne, but there are certain gaps in my knowledge which it is quite possible that you may be able to fill in. If you agree with my sugges- tion I have an idea that we may be of considerable assistance to each other.” I reflected rapidly. I no longer felt any doubt that Sir William had been negotiating for the invention and that in all probability he was the man whom Molly had seen with Osborne at Aubrey’s restaurant. In that case he could certainly clear up a number of points on which I was badly in need of enlightenment, but would it be safe, at the present stage of affairs, to take him wholly and un- reservedly into my confidence? After all, the formula belonged to Molly, not to me, and until I had had a chance of consulting with her— I looked up and saw the shadow of a jl‘zmle lurking round the corner of his ps. “You are quite right to be cautious,” he observed. “At the same time I as+ sure you that offer is en straightforward.’ o it “I don't really doubt it,” I replied.

I only make one stipu- lation. Nothing I say in this room is to be repeated outside.” I contented myself with a nod. “It was early in June,” he began, “that I first got in touch with Os- borne.

I need hardly say that I am quite used to this type of visitor, and that as a rule they turn out to be either lunatics or frauds. ‘Osborne, however, seemed to come into a dfiflerent category. He pledged himself, provided I wouid give him the necessary facilities, to produce a speci- men of the metal for experimental purposes.

DAILY SHORT STORY NO GREATER LOVE Clutching the Smooth Face of the Ledge, Anton Weighed His Honor Against Louis’ Life, BY JERRY WILDER. times, it had lost its significance, its measure. Some time, had failed to test a handhold and a sliver of rock had HE AND LOUIS HAD CLIMBED THE PEAK. off in his hand. Louis had balanced wildly, clawed frantically for & hold, then toppled off, striking his head heavily on the edge of the shelf as he fell. Anton had thrown himself face down at right angles to the edge, feet braced against a sizable rock, fingers gripping a much less secure hold, be- fore Louis had actually taken up the slack of the 15 feet of rope between them. Louis, apparently stunned, dangled soundless and motionless with a sheer drop of a thousand feet to the glacier belew him. Now, clinging limpet-wise on the edge of eternity, Anton faced the hardest decision that comes to an honorable man. Upon his decision hung the lives of two men, the wel- fare of & woman and two children, his own integrity. At his belt was a knife easily acces- sible. It would take but a moment to sever the rope that held Louis. It was beyond human possibility for Anton to draw him up to safety. There was an element of risk in even loosening one hand to reach for the knife. Louis’ life was already forfeif. It had been Louis’ carelessness that had precipitated the catastrophe. But there was one slim, fantastic possibility that some one might have witnessed the accident and would be able to reach them before it was too late, To cut the rope now, while strength was fresh and hope was pos- sible, would brand him as a coward and a murderer in his own eyes. To send his friend to his death perhaps hours early would be an act of black- est treachery. But decision had not been reached —only postponed. The rope around his waist was dragging a little to his left. With his feet secured against the rock as a pivot the upper part of his body was being moved toward the edge of the precipice as imperceptibly as the hands of a clock. Suddenly conscious of his increas- ing peril, Anton clung desperately, flattening himself against the ledge to take advantage of every irregularity. ‘Tremors suddenly began totrun up his'arms. He had been the rock with unconscious intensity and the locked, agonized muscles were protesting. He seemed to lay in a fire-flecked whirling tunnel of pain as remote from the world as the farthest star. Before his mind now swam the pic- ture of a garden in the village below, his wife seated with some sewing in her lap, his two little sons playing at her feet.” Was the fear of cow- ardice blinding him to his duty to those he loved, his sons brought into the world by no volition ~ of their own? Had he not a duty to them even as God had to his creatures? Were they to be made fatherless by a futile, fruitless gesture of bravery? Was it honor or only pride that held him in the grip of indecision? His fingers slip- ped, caught & new hold and sweat chilled the backs strength was fail- ing. If rescuers were near enough to be of assistance he would have been hailed by this time. That hope was dead. That consideration need no longer affect his decision. Dare he loosen one hand to reach for the knife? “Not yet, Louis. A little while yet,” he reassured his friend wordlessly. A sudden thought struck him. Per- haps Louis was dead. He was dead. He must be. He had made no sign all this long time. Then he could cut the rope. “Oh, God, give me a sign. Give me a sign,” he prayed. And, as if in answer an unmistak- able vibration, a sustained tremor of movement came up the rope from be- low. Even alive, Louis would hardly have strength to gull himself up after the blow he had suffered. The blackness of despair and re- bellion closed down over Anton. How much longer was he to endure this agony of indecision? Gradually he drifted into a pain- less world. The fiery girdle of rope around his waist, the aching pressure on thighs and legs, wrenched arms, raw, bloody finger tips, frosted gasp- ing lungs, all numbed to delicious languor. He seemed to float above his rock bed, swaying slightly. In panic he fought his way back to sensation fearful lest he relax his hold. He was slipping quite perceptibly now. Toes were hooked over the rock in a last desperate effort. One shoul- der was already over the edge. Sud- denly all the blood in his body clam- ored in his ears. “Cut, cut, cut now!” And his stubborn will at last gave consent. But now the power of obedience was locked in his body. Will might com- mand, but body could not or would not obey. A subtle sense of frantic effort came to him along the rope. Suddenly, terrifically, he was torn loose from all holds and flung to safety away from the edge. He clawed frantically, regained balance and lay relaxed in the throes of dreadful nausea, conscious of only one thing—the rope had broken. When at last he was able he sat up with his back to a rock and drew in on the slack rope. How far down it must have broken, he thought as foot after foot came up and still no frayed broken end appeared. He rested a moment and began again. At last the end came to his hand . . . not frayed « « . Dot broken . . . but cleanly cut. . (Copyright. 1934.)

LAMA IS “T0O HOLY” FOR MEDICAL TEST Befusal Loses $107,000 Insurance | Policy for American Agent. PEIPING (#).—Because the Pan- chan Lama, Tibet's spiritual chief, is “too holy” to submit to a medical examination, an American insurance agent here lost the sale of a $107,000 policy. The lama is theoretically im- mortal, but he deemed it wise, never- theless, to arrange for insurance be- fore his departure on the long jour- ney across.Mongolia to the land from which he was exiled several years ago. Everything went swimmingly until | he was asked to undergo the usual physical tests, Then he refused to doff his royal robes before an un- believer. Undaunted, the agent sold six poli- cles of $18,000 each among the lama's followers. RESORTS. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. STEAMSHIPS. “SUNSHINE” Cruises Tn the Wel!
