 "Not the way did it. The real In. spector is my friend: ! had his per. mission to impersonate him"
 Pretty Foodi" commented Rosalie. An you found nothing about-what I'm after?"
 "No. That was the suspicious thing-I mean, the absence of any sign of Identification looked curious to me. But l found one thing which didn't amount to much, except that it was an opening. He has a camera. I don't know why examined that, unless it was hunch. It was foreign made-Ameriean boxes are manufac- tured by a trust. and they all look alike. Down by the range-scale l found a nickel plate such as agents always put on cameras. It read; J. Lichenstein, Cameras and Camera Supplies. Port of Spain, Trinidad
 Where's that?"
 Trinidad is an island of the coast of South America--near Venezuela. Port of Spain is the main town. It's British possession, but there are many French and Spanish residents. l had taken the precaution. when 1 started out, to have the police photog- rapher get a snapshot of this Els trilla. l took the picture lowell. never mind who he is. He's lived all over South America He's almost sure that Estrilla is a Spaniard from Port of Spain named Juan Perez. The Pc Far HT,T dad. The head of the family was named Miguel Perez-I suppose, though, you aren't interested in the family"
 That's just what want to know" Miguel Perez was this mans fa- l ther-if the stooLpigeon is right in ! his Identification The stool-pigeon was down there about three or four | years ago. At that time, Miguel Perez had just died, and this Juan had in- herited the business. It seemed that he wasn't getting on we'll with it. At least. that was the gossip. That's all oh, yes, the stool-pigeon remembered ! one other thing about Miguel Perez. | He'd had an early romance with an | English girl-navy people. Miguel Perez married her, and she didn't live very long. After that, he married again-a Spanish girl from Caracas and Juan Perez was the son of that marriage. That was about all he | could remember"
 Still, the camera marked Port of Spain seems to fix 1t, somehow"
 Tt seems to. But. of course, you can't be certain He may be a rela- | tive and have 8 family resemblance" "Yeur friend didn't know whether i old Miguel Perez had any children by his first marriage-to the English girl?"
 i He didn't say, at least" ! Rosaiie congealed to a pose with the 1 advent of an idea.
 l Tell me-" she asked, when a fa- 1 ther and a mother are of different na- | tionalities-taIk different languages what language does the baby learn frst-the fathers or the mother's?"
 "Oh, the mother's-always. So if there was a child from his first marriage-to the English girl he'd talk better English than Juan Perez?"
 He'd pronounce it better, anyway" l"
 And a mother always talks to her baby in her own language"
 "Oh, of course"
 An if a foreigner-you, for in- stance-gits real excited an talks quick. what language does he use?"
 "Oh, his own first tongue!" Rosaiie unused aloud; and in that musing she cleared up for Us one Of her mysteries of method.
 ''It does look to me" she said, "as if I'd wasted a lot of time brushin' up my Spanish with the Martinez Phono- graph Method. Still, it's bound to help here and there. Listen," she ad. I dressed Grinaldi, T did turn once never mind what-on the Mexican border-E Paso, San Antonio, an places like that. Circumstance was such that I had to learn as much Spanish as could-my business called for it. I've been s;udyin' it again lately. You understand Span ish, don't you?"
 As well as do English" ! AAEus naAN AAOsdllc III CpdulSu, how does this sound? Is it good con. Versational Spanish2 Tell me what you think"
 Well" said Grimaldi, it runs all right, but any one would know you weren't Spanish born Still, it's pret. ty good, and I suppose you could fool Spaniard for a few words. What are you trying to do-with Spanish? ?'' "Oh, nothing" replied RosaIie care. lessly. Well, I must go on. Keep him shsdowed, an when you git any. thing new, you know where to find ma Good-by."
 
 At home in her own room axain. Rosslie pondered long, a nervous fin ger picking at musing lip-pondere6 until she stood frozen with a new idea Those rings of Miss EstrilIa's-she had long wanted look at them Els pecially that big diamond with curl ous onyx and gold setting which shG wore on her left hand Rosalie had noted Miss Estrilla's care of that ring; noted how she washed hel hands without removing it. Chance therefore, would never give the oppor l cyL
