THE next day learnt that the mat
ter was in the hands of the police,
who no longer believed that Vescaro
had disappeared of his own accord,
but entertained the idea that he had
been secretly murdered A strict in
vestigation was made. Cardinal Cal
yatierra and the Dominican volun-
teered their evidence as to the cir
cumstances under which the missing
man had left the Vatican, and added
my testimony to theirs.
For some days the police pursued
their inquiries with great zeal, but
without throwing any fresh light upon
Vescaro's fate. Then an extraordinary
change took place in their attitude.
They dropped the investigation as sud
denly as they had taken it up, and
seemed content to let the whole affair
sink into oblivion.

strange behavior of the Italian au-

for me to take this matter into my own

it in a calm, methodical manner
'The first step in my investigation

sary that l should dismiss for the

other circumstances in the case

opportunity of the counts presence

look for my companion.
ITO my surrrise, he was not to be
seen. The Dominican was there in

little brush, and the cardinal was ad-
vancing towards me with a vexed
look upon his face.

l exclaimed. Where is Vescaro?'
"Salvatierra gave a stare of surprise.
