 If my cabman had not been such a fool broke in Denise Ryland, clasping her hands, five should have had diff ferent tale to tell" !. T have no wish to reproach any body, said Dunbar sternly, but I feel called upon to remark, madam, that you ought to have known better than to interfere in case like this. case in which we are dealing with a desperate and clever gang"
 2 For once in her life Denise Ryland found herself unable to retort suitably. The mildly reproachful gaze of Leroux she could not meet, and, although DE, Cumberly had spoken no word of conf plaint against her, from his pale face she persistently turned away her eyes. | The ,cabman having departed, the door almost immediately reopened and Sergeant Sowerby came in.
 ' ''sAh, there you are, SowerbyT' cried Dunbar, standing up and leaning eager ly across the table. "You have the particulars respecting the limousine?'
 Sergeant Sowerby, removing his hat and carefully placing it upon the only vacant chair in the room, extracted a bulging notebook from a pocket con cealed beneath his raincoat, cleared his throat and reported as follows:
 There is only one car known to members of that division which an swers to the description of the one wanted. This is a high power French car, which seems to have been regis tered first in Paris, where it was made, then in Cairo, and lastly in London. It is the property of the gentleman whose telephone number is 18642 East -Mr. I. Gianapolis- the reason of its frequent presence in the neighbor- hood 1.-the West India Dock road is this: 1tsfS kept in a garage in Wharf End lane, off Limehouse causeway. I have interviewed two constables at present on that beat, and they tell me that there is nothing mysterious about the bar except that the chaffeur Is a foreigner who speaks no English He is often to be seen cleaning the car in the garage, and both the men are in the habit of exchanging good evening with him in passing the end of the lane. They rarely go that far, how ever, as 1t leads nowhere"
 ''But if you have the telephone num- Ter of this man, Gianapolis," cried Dr. Cumberly, you must also have his ad- dress"-
 "We obtained both from the Eastern exchange" interrupted Inspector Dun bar. '.,The instrument. No. 1s642 East, is insthlled in an office in Globe road. The office, which is situated in con verted private dwelling, bears a brass plate simply inscribed, T. 04anapolis, London and Smyrna"
 "What is the mans reputed busi- ness?Y jerked Cumberly.
 We have nos quite got to the bottom of that yet" replied Sowerby, ''but he is an agent of some kind and evidently in a large way of business, as. he runs a very fine car and seems to live prin- cipally in different hotels. I am told that he is an Importer of Turkish cigarettes and''
 "He is an importer and exporter of hashishv.. snapped Dunbar irritably If I could clap my eyes upon him II should know him at once. I tell you, Sowerby, he is the man who was con victed last year of exporting hashish to Egypt in faked packing cases which contained pottery ware ostensibly, but had false bottoms filled with cakes of hashish."
 Put. began pr. Cumberly.
 But because he came before silly bench,' snapped Dunbar. his eyes flashing angrily. ''he got off, with a fine-zage heavy one, certainly, but he could we'll afford to pay it.. It is that kind of judicial folly which ties the hands of Scotland Yard"
 AWhat makes you so confident that this is the man?' asked the physician
 He was convicted under the name of C.. Ionagis," replied the, detective (which believe to be either his req name or his real name transposed. Dc you follow me? I.AGianapoiis is Iona gis Gianapolfs. and G. Ionagis is Clan apolis Ionagis. was not associated with the hashish case; he stored the stuff in china warehouse within ths city precincts. and at that time he did not come within my sphere. Bot looked into it privately, aud 1 could see that the prosecution was merely skimming the surface; we are only be ginning to get down to the depth. now"
 Dr. Cumberly raised hts hand to hi! head in a distracted manner
 Surely" he said, and he was evi dently exercising a great restrain upon, himself surely we're wastin: time. The office in Globe road should be raided without delay. No ston, should be left unturned to effect thu immediate arrest of this man Gianapo lis or Ionagis. Why, great heavens while we are talking here my daugh ter'-
 "Norbleu! Who talks of arrestin, Gianapons Y' inquired the voice of . -4n who silently had entered th'
