To extemporize a few lies to get

but Jed was not back in the morning
and Mr.. Sidney had to be deceived In
more enduring fashion.
I explained to him that Jed had been
called away on an urgent matter,
which seemed to Mrs. Sidney to justi-
fy his going at once. Mrs. Sidney, at
my request, made the same explana-
ton later and Mr.. Sidney accepted it.
This explanation seemed very lame to
me, but 1t served. Mr.. Sidney did not
know Of any reason why Jed should
disappear. We offered him an expla-
nation of the servants absence, and
he accepted 1t.
1t was apparent that the Spaniard
and the lawyer had been two of the
men concerned in Jed's plight, and
thought 1t best to telephone discreet
detective agency and have the lawyer
put under scrutiny. Mrs. Sidney
thought this was a proper course-or
at least that no better one was avail.
