l tance Co attend Co. and also my bag To pack Steward" he added. you will find my bag outside of my stateroom ] door Please bring it here. SO that ! may be ready to go ashore at once" The steward hurried away. and NJ Pigot turned back to us
 It was to Godfrey that the position of spokesman naturally fell.
 "We wish first to welcome you to America, NJ. I'lgot." he said. and to hope that you will have a pleasant and interesting stay in our country We hope that with your assistance our po- lice may be able to solve the mystery surrounding the death of the three men recently killed here. and to arrest the murderer. or themselves they seem to be able to do nothing"
 NJ. Pigot spread out his hands with Il little deprecating gesture
 "l also hope We may be successful" he said. but if your police have not been. my poor help will be of little &C., rount."
 He spoke with an accent so sincere hat was almost convinced he meant -very word of it. but Godfrey only | smiled
 Tt Is a proverb," he said. that the French police are the best in the world You, no doubt. have a theory in regard 70 the death of these menT'
 "l fear it is impossible. sir" said NJ Pigot rcgretfully. "to answer that question at present, or to discuss this case with you. | have my report first 70 make to the chief of your detective | bureau. Tomorrow l shall be most ! happy to tell you all that can. But for tonight my lips are closed, sad as it makes me to seem disconrteous." l could hear behind me the little in- drawn breath of disappointment at the failure of the direct attack.
 A voice was heard inquiring loudly for Moosseer Piggott. l recognized that voice, and so did Godfrey. and l saw the cloud of disappointment which fell upon his face. An instant later Grady, with Simmonds in his wake, elbowed his way through the group.
 "Moosseer Piggott." he cried, and enveloped the Frenchman's slender hand in his great paw and gave 1t a squeeze which was no doubt painful. "Glad to sec you. sir. Welcome to our city, as we say over here in America. certainly hope you can speak Eng fish. for don't know a word of your
 lingo I'm Commissioner Grady, in charge of the detective bureau. and this Is Smmonds, one of my men"
 M Pigots perfect suavity was not even ruffled.
 'T am most pleased to meet you, sir. and you. Monsieur simmon." he said "Yes speak English. though, as you see with some difficulty"
 "These reporters bothering your life out. see" And Grady glanced about the group. scowling as his eyes met Godfrey's.
 rI have but just told them that my first report must be made to you. sir" |" said Pigot. ''I was hoping that we might go ashore at once. l have my papers ready for you"-
 "All right" agreed Grady. And after I've looked over your papers I'll show you Broadway. and I'll bet you agree with me that 1t beats anything in gay Farce. Our boats waiting, and we can start right away. This your bag? Yes? Bring 1t along, Sim monds." And Grady started for the stair.
 But the attentive steward got ahead of Simmonds.
 NJ, Pigot turned to us with little smile.
 ''rill tomorrow. gentlemen" he said. "I shall be at my hotel and shall be glad to see you-shall we say at II o'elocke 1 am truly sorry that can ellypu nothing tonight" He shook hands with the purser wfyed his hand to us and joined Ora. dy, who was watching these amenities with evident impatience. Together thfy disappeared down the stair. "come on. Lester" Godfrey said ''we might as well be getting back. can send the boat down again after the other boys" and he turned down | tho stair.
