Left alone, Christopher Brent strolled
over to the fireplace and began thought
fully tapping it with his pipe. Up and
down. all over, he tapped it: abs,rdly in
the fashion of some one in n historical
novel who searches for secret hiding
place. Suddenly n hollow sound rang
from under his pipe. He tapped ii again
to make sure. There was no
doubt about it. He whistled softly,
put his pipe in this pocket. and
taking out his matchbox. deliberately
scattered its contents over the hearth.
Then he knelt down, and. producing from
another pocket a little electric torch. di-
rected Its ray over the crate and up the
chimney. A footstep sounded in the CORR
dor. and, slipping the lamp in his pocket
again. he began to take up the matches,
humming tune as he did so.
Mrs. Lee came softly into the room and
stood looking at his back for moment
Whatever are you doing?" she said. as
she closed the door.
Split a box of matches-beastly nui-
ance." replied he; then glancing up
Yes"
Good" He swept the matches into the
box and jumped up
What's the matter, Kit?"
Il think I'm on the verge OF a discovery.

She produced a small folded document

wrist and handed it to him. He ran his
eye over 1t and gave a long whistle.

fool at the game
Don't suppose she is" observed
Miriam.
IT wonder how she got hold of the
late lamented Sanderson?" pursued
Brent. She's German herself, I sup
-pose?"
VERY much so. She was born in
Dresden
We'll, WELL" remarked Brent, reading
over the document again. Lets see
when they were married-August. 'e7.
Then that fellow Charles must be Won
Manters son and not Sanderson's at
all. Curioser and curioser, as Alice
would say. And what about the gentle

yes, that makes the German word

The kissing sound went on and Brent
wrote in silence. When he had left off
he still remained listening for min

the notebook to Miriam. There. what

Brent gave the signal while Miriam
translated the message as quickly as
she could and then read 1t aloud:

opening the door and whisking him

Not trace of their presence or their
work there remained, not even the ira
ditional dropped note book. when Mrs.
Sanderson, that somewhat disingenuous
widow. and her son Charles came into
the room through the French window,
talking placidly about nothing in par
ticular until they saw that no one was
there. when their tones suddenly
changed.

idiot. Brent. has gone" remarked
Charles.

acutely, sit seems to me there is danger
in the very fact Of his being such an
idiot. You know they say there is a

be the real English good luck If Brent

Brent, and tapped the message out ac-

In another moment the fireplace had
