CHAPTER ".
A Friend In Need.

But that Gebb knew the writer OF
this curt note, which was hardly civil
in its brevity, he would have been
much surprised at the untoward chance
OF its coming at so critical a moment to
help him out OF his difficulties. AS II
was, he felt more relieved than aston
ished and hastened to obey the sum-
mons without delay. IL was not the
first time he had used Mr.. Parge as
finger-post to point out the right path,
and i'm the present instance he was
rather vexed with himself that he had
not applied before in this quarter for
advice and guidance. But better, late
than never. thought he. while repair
ing his error. and making up for his
neglect by replying in person to the
summons.
Towards Parge. the detective stood
in the relation OF pupil 10 master. for
Il was Parge. who, observing his abil-
tiles. had induced MIN 10 join the pro-
fession and had never ceased to praise.
and blame and help him on TO the
best OF his ability. For some consider
able time Parge had been a noted de-
tective himself. and he had retired
within the last few years into private
life. owing to a tendency 10 obesity and
an Increase OF years which forbade his
further exercising his talents IN the
hunting. The criminal, fraternity had
rejoice1 rather too soon. when they
heard that their great enemy had re-
tired on a pension for Parge left he
hind him a worthy successor In the
person Of Gebb. and he still instructed
the latter In particularly difficult cases
~here two heads were better than one.

purpose, I can tell you"

"Ho! Ho! So this cove has been in
trouble before?"
Not only in trouble. but in prison.
"On what charger asked Gebb. with
openly-expressed surprise.
"On a charge OF murder!"
What! Is this assassination Of Miss
Ligram his second crime?"
1T Is" replied Parge, enjoying the as
tonishment OF his visitor, but this man
Ill tell you his name later on-did not

but he did Kill her--strangle her,"
Not Miss Ligram!" said the fat man
obstinately. "Ligram was an assumed
name"
II know that, Simon. She has passed
under half dozen names"
so the papers say. Just run over
the Names"
Gebb did 50 promptly. giving the
names In order.

the presence OF his master, steam was
got up so far that Parge's smoking cap
came skimming past the head OF the
visitor. Gebb picked II up and brought
IL TO Parge. who received IL with a
growl of wrath. At Parge's feet lay a
pile OF newspapers, some open, some
folded some with evidence OF scissors
work and some quite whole. On a near
table there lay large volume bound
IN red cloth, which Gebb recognized as
one of the series of books In which
Parge noted down the more important
cases and stored his newspaper
cuttings. He wondered IL the old man
had IL at his elbow TO throw at him. for
Parge's fingers evidently itched to send
the book after the smoking cap. but.
as he refrained from further violence,
Gebb concluded that the volume had
been placed within reach of its OWNER
for some. purpose connected with his
visit. He was right, as subsequent
events proved.
"Oh." growled Parge. glaring at the
young man. $50 you've thought Mt to
come at last"
II couldn't come sooner Simon" pro-
tested Gebb. taking a chair. I've been
worried out of my life by this Grange

And what good has all your worry
done, you fool? You've found out noth-
ing"
Indeed have. I've traced back
Miss Ligram's life TO the year '93. She
is-but / forgot-you don't know the
case"
Don't t." retorted Parge sharply. II
know a deal more than youscan tell me.
| suppose you are in difficulties over
the matter"
Gebb admitted that he was. And
l candidly confess that do not see my
way out OF them" he added. with an
anxious look at Parge.
The fat man grunted. IF you had
come 20 me In the first instance would
have saved you n lot Of trouble"
can you explain this mystery. ST.

II can. II couldn't. wouldn't have
sent for YOU"

committal Of the crime?"
