CHAPTER XVII.
nurlA. an thA Maya

What measures OF success he had
achieved. Burles undoubtedly owed
10 the zeal he had for his profession.
The adventurous life was made FOR
him. he delighted in the thing that
possessed both finesse and danger.
That there was an element OF danger
here he had not concealed from him
self. He was dealing with utterly
INSCRIPTIONS people who were not
likely TO stick at anything. On the
other hand, Lady Altamonts masked
dance was likely 10 be fruitful In dis
coveries and the risk had TO be
taken.
IL was a daring scheme that Burles
had in his mind. Some instinct told
him that this masked dance was in
tended To be something more than
mere social function. In the hrst
place. Lady Altamont had reputa'
ton for smart and original entertain
ments, therefore she was not likely TO
fall back upon so ancient an Idea as
masked ball unless she had some
special object in view.
For this reason alone Burles had
made uy his mind 10 be present. He
meant to go in the guise OF guest.
and an invited one at that. He could
trust his native audacity TO get him
into the house. where he might pass
muster with the rest. but this was not
quite good enough for Burles, whose
methods were nothing II not thorough.
His idea was TO personate somebody
who was going.
II would be comparatively easy TO
forge a telegram and keep a certain
guest away. but Scotland Yard looked
with cold eye on strategy OF that
kind Burles would not have hesitat-
ed. had he been working In private
capacity, TO kidnap a guest and steal
his clothes. but such course was
out OF the question. There were bet
ter ways than that
For instance, there were many men
moving In what passes for London
society, who were under the eye OF
the police, shady aristocratic swim
dlers, and the like. who had not yet
been found out, and many OF these
were known by name 10 Burles. lie
knew also that in all probability the
names and descriptions OF Lady Alta
monts guests had already been sup
piled TO the fashionable papers and
set up in type for publication on the
morrow. IL was the only way in which
social functions could be properly re-
ported.
Burles began TO see his way fairly
clear by the time he had finished his
luncheon Late in the afternoon he
took his way 10 Whitefriars-st., where
lay the publishing offices OF the
Morning Herald a daily journal
that made a feature OF recording the
doings OF the upper classes. There ne
asked for Mr. Hardstaff.
Mr.. Hardstaff was busy. but he
could give Inspector Burles few
minutes. Burles made II point OF
keeping on good terms with the bet
ter type OF journalists. A little man
in glasses looked up and nodded as
Burles entered.
Morning" he said. Glad to see
you. Anything in our way? A nice
fat bridge scandal or something OF
that kind? Member OF the Upper
House caught stealing the spoons
We are very quiet Just now, Burles.
