On my way down the hall, wever, T stopped at my own door and "ked lightly. When Kath- erine came to the door I drew her out into the hall and whispered to her my anxiety about ILilllan and ite cause, “She says she won't ses a phy- | sician,” T finished. Katherine smiled competently, ‘“He's Watching This Case.” | “Leave it to me,” she said.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Avoiding the graveled path, Wragge ran along the cdge of theé turf and drepped his hand lightly but firmly on the prowler's eollar, “Just a word with you, Trickey,” he breathed into a purple-veined ear, “You've saved a lot of troublé by bobbing up here. Till ten minutes ago I was afraid we shouldn’t get you without a pick and shovel and a yard of red tape.” The captive twisted his head, bar- ing unpleasané gums. “Who are you?”" he choked. “Scotland Yard — C.

Likely none at all if you act wise.” “I'm fly,"” replled Mr, Trickey. ad on, Horatlo."” By the same tortuous route which he had used on his euccessful foray into the open the inspector conducted his asquisition — no prisoner as yet — to the butler's pantry. Hinkley had evidently only just returned to his sanctum and was beginning to tidy up. The old man looked rather dazed at the en-| try of the disreputable visitor. | ““Dom’t put that wine away yet.” sajd Wragge. “This gentleman is going to talk and he is thirsty.” CHAPTER XXI Progress in the Pantry Simon brightened up wonderfully at the inspector’s tactful suggestion that he should be given a drink.

The seventh of June that year was a Saturday.” The butler had listered in silence, but with growing consternation, to the web which the detective was weaving around his master, “Maybe I can supply the blank."” the old man interjected. “In Sir Philip’s time T had to keep a record of the guests staying at.the Grange and of the rooms they occupled, I continued the practica during the interregnum, while Miss Kathleen was mistrees here, which she was on the date mentioned. Shall I look it up, ®ir?” “By all means,” sald Wragge. A reference to the well-thumbed register which the butler produced | settled the .point. On Baturday the | saventh of June in the cruclal year Pudley Glenister had arrived at the Grange; he had left on the follow- ing Monday. There had been no one | else staying at the house but Lady | Marrables, who always came do“‘n} when needed as a chaperon. 1 “You ecan't remember the com- ings and goings of the inmates of the house that week-end?” Wragge inquired. “Not after the Japse of time,” re- pited Hinkly. “My memory isn't| what it was, but Miss Kalhleeni might recall the occasion.” “Unfortunately, for the moment Miss Glenister {8 not avallable, | though it must be our business to make her so,” rejoined Wragge. “What's that mean?” 1 The sudden question was prompt- ed by the screech of an electric bell under the ceiling. At the first sound of it Hinkley edged toward the pantry door. “That's for me," he quavered. he added tentatively, as it not sure | of the detective's permission.
