Mr.. LaxwOrthy went on, II will collect
that hundred pounds from Mr.. wardley.
II you will be SO good as to give me his

For a moment she smiled.

Of stairs and rang the bell of a door
upon which a small brass plate was en-
blazoned with the name Of Richard
Wardley. The door was opened, after
a short delay. by a tall man in plain
clothes and unmistakable build.
"Police Sergeant Chopin. am sure?''
Mr.. I.axworthy remarked suavely. hand

The man took II a little dCubtfully.
