She loves— ’ Norman Slater, who breaks into the room, and engages.Sip Dudiey in a fight until James Wragge, Scotland Yard detective, arrives, He obtains some valuaBle evidence from Kathleen, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Thank you, madam, on the whole I think I'd better not,” re- plied the inspector in a tone of self-negation. “Trickery nightn't like it, Besides, I can find him all ght — the old blighter.” ‘So long then.” “Miss Blair” re- tired into the narrow entrance. ‘Look in any time you're passing.” Wragge promised to do o and got into the waiting taxi. And as he drove away he assured himself that he would certainly have to re- visit that abode at no distant date. For Mrs, Simon Trickey had not only been revealed as “Maud Blair,” the cinema actress, but without any manner of doubt she was also the original of the photograph which Kathleen Glenister, not an hour ago, had identified as that of Sally | Grimes, the daughter of the head | gamekeeper at Beechwood Grange. CHAPTER X The Entry in the Case-Book On the evening after his return to Harley street Doctor Willough- by Melville, having finished his soli~ tary dinner, retired to his consult- ing room. Switching on the electrics, he un- locked an antique cornet cupboard and ran his eye over several neatly piled stacks of books in a uniform binding which bespoke them as manuscript. Taking down one of ) the volumes he carried it to a deep- | acated easy-chair and began to turn | the pages. “About five years ago,” he mur- mured. His meeting with Inspegtor Wragge at the lodge gates of Becchwood Grange on the previous | day had struck a chord of memory awakening the liveliest curiosity. He had alrcady become obsessed with the mystery of the skeleton finger, and when he recognized the | ascetic looking clergyman loitering there as a Scotland Yard officer whom he had treated professionally years before, he at once guessed that he was engaged on the case, Ignoring the clerical disgulse, he | haa given Wragge the surprise of his life by addressing him by name and recalling thelr old relations as medlcal adviser and patient. Im- ! mediately afterwards he had made | amende by assuming that the in. | spector was on duty. there and in- | forming him that a shady-looking | individual had just forced himself {upun sir Dudley Glenister. | He found the entry —- his system | of cross-indexing was the last word |in method — without any trouble and he settled down to peruse it. Iiis first glance at the lengih of the | entry told him that the state of | Inspector Wragge's nerves five years ago had demanded careful atten- tion. | He read his own diagnosis of the | symptoms with a revived interest [that recalled the examination to | which he had submitted Mr. | Wragge. ‘ “James Wragge, Inspector Crim- | 1 Investigation Department,” the 1 pa ge was headed. “Age 43, helght ff. 10 in, weight 12 stone.

Appear- ! specialist paused in his | reading and in his mind's eye vis- he had met at the gates of Becchwood Grange. | “And if,” he refiected, “I had to liagnose Mr. Wragge over agaln I should probably have to use precise- ly the same worde T used five years go. He looks as fit as ever, and barring a few gray hairs not a day older. But there was a look of me al strain about his eyes.” Melville read on: “When 1 pressed him for ause of what I was compelled to | describe as a nervous breakdown which threatened his frank demeanor peared. He prevaricated and fenced with my questions till T was obliged to tell him that unless I was in- | formed of the source of worry I could do but little to remove it.” Placing his er between the the doctor leaned back in his chair and closcd his eyes. The ene in that consulting room, now s0 16ng ago, came back to him as thought it were yesterday. The ard-bitten detective officer, pressed for the of his trouble, had burst into tears, confessing that he had been caught by a high official, olding a minor post in the govern- ment of the day, accepting a bribe lodge sle, cause p and for allowing.a defaulting banker to | 1 the escape from justice, The official ac- | cuser, whom Wragge had not named, had consented to hush the matter up, while giving him to un- derstand that it was only held in abeyance. If at any future time the delinquent misbehaved himself the oldwmisconduct would be brought up | Melville “Having broken Wragge's guard, I found it easy to give him immediate relief by ‘sug- gostion and drugs. The most potent factor used for his cure was the be- | lief T succeeded inspiring that he had nothing to fear so long &s he did not mishehave again.” | CHAPTER XI | Number 16 Lipscombe Road Kathleen turned a deaf ear {o Norman &later's plea that he should accompany her to Slmon Trickey's | n Brixtor | Trickey was evidently a drink- sodden reprobate, formidable pos- | sibly as a crafty raseal where money 1 congerned h of rufian who would use methods of read or once down v ut not sort ualized the bogus clergyman whomn| the | creeping paraly- | aisap- | 52 O 1925 by NEA Sertvice Inc. violence, So it was that Kathleen drove to Brixton without escort, to be set down in front of the garlsh little villa in the middle of the afternoon, | Telling the taxi-driver to wait, she rang the bell and was admitted by the smart maid withofit the oppo- sitlon encountered by Wragge on the previous day. She was shown into a tawdry sitting-room to the right of the marrow entrance pas- sage, and it was not until the serv- ant had closed the door on her that she awoke to the fact that she had neither been asked nor given her name. The fumes of a strong cigar had assalled her nostrils on entering the house, and she concluded that Mr. Trickey had observed her arrival from the room on the other side of the passage and that he would join her presently. She only hoped that he would be sober. But five minutes passed and, neither drunk nor sober, did Mr. Simon Trickey or anyone else ap- pear. Another five minutes passed MISS MAUD BLAIR ADVANCED A TENTATIVE HAND. and the door opened to admit the tinted lady who had parleyed with Wragge from the doorstep the pre- vious day. Recognition was mutual and instantaneo “Sally Grimes leen. fiss Maud Blair” advanced, & tentative hand ready, but dropped when no responsive sign of it being grasped was shown. “Do sit down, Miss Glenister,” she simpered. “My husband told me he was expecting a lady on busi- ness, but who would have dreamed that it would be you!" Bewildered, and with a sense of physical iausea she could not ac- count for, Kathleen sank into a gaudy, plush-covered chair. “Mr, Trickey is your husband?” the gasped. “Yes. I am quite an old married woman,” was the giggled reply. “Though I daresay they have an- other tale to tell of me at Beech- wood, Miss Glenister.” Kathleen ignored the brazen sug- gestion, “Nothing but the local gos- sip that you were married reached me,” she replied coldly..“] have fiot been much at Beechwood lately.” “But you were there when the crow flew over the shooting lunch,” the lady of the house insinuated slyly. “That is a matter T cannot dis- cuss with you,” said Kathleen. “Is it likely to be long before I can see your husband?’ “He will be in directly. I left him in the dining room with — with a man rid of, You exclaimed Kath- don't show much in- terest, Miss nister, in my present circumstanc You would be sur- prised to hear that T am the chief —*Miss Maud Blair,” if ybu please, of the films. Kathleen had the haziest idea of what the woman was talking about, { hut she made a few polite inquiries which more than enlightened her as to the nature of “Miss Blair's” occupation and the fame she had won thereby. And then a sudden intuition told her that her hostess was not only talking from vanity but to gain time — and thas all the | time she was listening intently. Kathicen listened, too, and she ‘was almost instantly rewarded by two sounds in quick succession: The first was the swish of a silk petti- coat in {he passage and the second | the furtive opening-and shut- ting of the front door. Kathleen was sitting too far back in the room | to obtain a full view of the person | | lcaving the house, but she caught la a singular ornament if worn by “the man” with whom, according to | his wife, Mr. Simon Trickey had | been engaged on the other side of !the passage.
