 1 looked at it for some moments. for it was certainly beautiful piece of work. with q wealth of inlay and in- crustntion little short of marvellous. But 1 may as well say here that l never really appreciated IL The fiorid style of the fourteenth and fifteenth Louis is not at all to my taste. l am afraid that vnntine found me little cold.
 You don't seem to care for it." he snld looking at me.
 That's my fault and not the fault of the cabinet" l pointed out. I'm not educated up to 1t. I'm too little of m artist perhaps"
 He was flushed. as a man might bs should another make a disparaging re mark about his wife. and be led ths way from the room at once. ls Remember. Lester" be snid little sternly. pausing with his hand on thu front door. there is to be no foolish ness about securing that cabinet fol me. Don't you let 1t get away. Tn in deadly earnest. Let me know ai soon as you have any news"
 Was vantine quite normal? wonder cd on my way home. Could any mai be normal who was willing to pay slO0.00O for a piece of furniture. espe clally man who could not afford sucf extravaganza? knew the size of Van tines fortune. It was large. but Sl00, GOO represented more than year, income. And then l smiled to myself Of course vantine was merely jestin, when he named that limit.

 What's the matter with Goldberger He seemed rather peeved with you thi afternoon"
 No wonder. He's Grady man. m we're after Grady. Grady isn't fit { head the detective bureau. He got tt

 "Goldberger says there's no polso known which could be used that wa | and which would act so quickly" ''Goldberger is right in that" agres Godfrey. But there's poison ul known that will. because 1t did" ! Tt wasn't a snake blter' | "Oh. no. Snake poison wouldn't k | a man that quickly. not even fer-d lance.
