CHAPTER ~
Introducing Mr.. Nicol Brinn

At about O'Clock on the same
evening. a man stood at a large win
dow which overlooked PiccadiIly and
the Green Park The room to which
the window belonged was justly con.
sidered one of the notable sights of
London and doubtless would have
received suitable mention in the Blue
Guide had the room been accessible
to the general public. 1t was. on the
contrary. accessible only to the per
sonal friends Of Mr.. Nicol Brinn.
The man at the window was inter
ested in a car which. approaching
from the direction of the Circus. had
slowed down Immediately opposite
and now was being turned, the chauf-
feurs apparent intention being to pull
up at the door below. He had seen
thc face of the occupant and had recg-
lied it even from that elevation.
The watcher, who had been stand
ns In d dark recess formed by the
presence of heavy velvet curtains
draped before the window. now
opened the curtains and stepped into
the lighted room. He was a tall,
lean man having straight. Jet black
hair, saIlow complexion, and the
features of a Sioux
There came a tap at the door.
In said the tall man.
The door opened slightly and a man
servant appeared. He was spotlesslv
neat and wore his light hair cropped
close to the skull Crossing to the
window, he extended a small salver
upon which lay u visiting car.
In" repeated the tall man. looking
down at the card.
His servant silently retired. and
following a short interval. rappped
again upon the adoor, opened it and
standing just inside the room an
nounced, Mr. Paul Harley"
The door being quietly closed be-
hind him, Paul Harley stood staring
across the room at Nicol Brinn.
Harley, after that one comprehen-
stve glance. the Photographic glance
of a travelled observer, stepped forward
impulsively, hand outstretched. Mr..
Brinn.' he said. I'VE have never met
before, and it was good of you to wait
in for me. I hope my telephone mes
sage has not !nterfered with your
plans for the evening""
Nicol Brinn, without change OF
pose, no line of the impressive face
altering, shot out a large, muscular
hand, seized that of Paul Harley in
tremendous grip, and almost instantly
put his hand behind his back again.
Had no plans" he replied, in a high.
monotonous voice; II was bored stiff.
Take the armchair
Paul Harley sat down. but in the
restless manner Of one who has urg-
ent business in hand and who is inn
patient Of delay. Mr. Brinn stopped
TO coffee table which stood upon the
rug before the large open fireplace. Il
am going to offer you a cocktail" he
said
7 shs1z1nxAxour offer" returned
l Harley !, The n. B. cock.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-12-15

massive chin in his hand and stared
down refiectively at the carpet.
Again Harley found himself at a
deadlock. and it was with scanty
hope of success that he put his next
question to the gloomy Scot. WAS
Sir Charles a friend of Mr.. Nicol
Brinn?" he asked.
'Nicol Brinn?" echoed the physi-
clan. He looked perplexed. You
mean the American millionaire? 1
believe they were acquainted. Alb
ingdon knew most of the extraordt-
nary people in London; and if half
one hears is true Nicol Brinn is as
mad as a halter But they were not
In any sense friends as far as I
know" He was watching Harley
curiously Why do you ask that
question:"
I will tell you in d moment" said
Harley, rapidly, but 1 have one more
question to put to you first. Does the
term FireTongue convey anything to
your mind?'
Doctor McMurdoch's eyebrows shot
upward most amazingly. Il won't in
suit you by supposing that you have
chosen such a time for joking" he
said. sourly.
r Harley's manner was almost fierce.
when l tell you why I ask these
questions-and 1 only do so on the
understanding that my words are to
be treated in the strictest confidence
you may regard the matter in a new
light. 'Nicol Brinn' and 'F'ireTongue'
were the last words which Sir Charles
Abingdon uttered.
A short silence ensued, during
which Doctor McMurdoch sat staring
moodily down at the carpet and Har-
ley slowly paced up and down the
room; then:
In view of the fact he said, sud
denly, that Sir Charles clearly appre-
hended an attempt upon his life. are
you satisfied professionally that death
was due to natural causes?"
Perfectly satisfied, - replied the ply
sician, looking up with a start; per
fectly satisfied. 1t was unexpected, of
course, but such cases are by no
means unusual. He was formerly a
keen athlete, remember. It's often so.
Surely you don't suspect foul play?
I understood you to mean that his
apprehensions We're on Behalf of
Phil"
Paul Harley stood still, staring med
itatively in the others direction.
There is not a scrap of evidence to
support such a Theory" he admitted,
but if you knew of the existence of
any poisonous agent which would pro.
duce efforts Stimulating these familiar
symptoms. I should he tempeed to
take certain steps"
What had he eaten"
Nothing but soup, except that he
drank a portions of glass of water.
am wondering if he took anything
at Mr.. Wilson's louise" He stared
Lard at Doctor McMurdoch. 1T may
surprise YOU. to learn that I have
already taken steps TO have the re
mains of the soup from Sir Charles
plate examined. as well as the water
in the glass / now propose to call
upon Mr.. Wilson in order that / may
complete this line of inquiry"
4 sympathize with your sus-
picions. Mr.. Harley" said the physi-
clan dpurly. but YOU are wasting
your time" A touch Of the old
acidity crept back into his manner.
My certificate Will be 'syncope due
10 unusual excitement; and I shall
stand by it."

denly that you are up against a
stiff proposition"
Paul Harley, accepting a cigarette
from an ebony box (once the prop
erty Of Henry Wild which the speaker
had pushed across the coffee table in
his direction, stared up curiously into
the saHow, aquiline face. You are
right But how did you know?"
You look that way. Also-you
were followed. Somebody knows
you've come here.
Harley leaned forward, resting one
hand upon the table. IT know 1 was

paused and smiled. in a very grim
fashion "a suspicion begins to dawn

AZ understand absolutely" replied
Nicol Brin. These are dull days.
It's meat and drink to me to smell
big danger"
Paul Harley lighted cigarette and
watched the speaker closely the while.
81 have come to you tonight, Mr..
Brinn," he said finally, "to ask you
a certain question. Unless the theory
upon which I am working is entirely
wrong, then, supposing that you are
in a position to answer my question
am logically compelled to suppose,
also that you stand in peril of your
life"
Good" said Mr.. Blinn. 81 was

strides he crossed the room and locked
the door.
