He was gathering all the smooth blue
letters together again and thinking OF
an account which Daintree had gwen
him in that very room that very week
of his own proceedings on the nlgnt OF
the murder. Suddenly he sprang 70
his feet, jumped on a chair ana ex.
amined the silver cups on the top OF
the bookshelf one by one. There were
seven. All were for winning the mile.
1t was his old distance from Avenue
Lodge to the hollow tree In the fields,
between the Finchley road and Haver-
stock hill. Tom remembered his mas
ter's anger, inexplicable no longer, on
the day he cleaned the cups. He jump

scription on the clock when 1t struck

Tom clapped his hand to his head.

to the chain gang, but she trusted to
her own testimony to save his neck.
SO she slipped out OF the bungalow
while the master was being dressed,
followed the Fawcetts into Sydney
and went straight to the Pulteney ho-

Tom. She found that worthy in his

complained that there was no doing
anything with him. And so powerful

and in this condition, that she had told
him nothing when Daintree's message
was brought to Mats rooms.
Nat read 1t in his shirt sleeves and
staggered off to achieve measure of
outward decency, leaving Peggy in a
strange turmoil. She could have be-
