CHAPTER Ia Mystery

TT was half past eleven on the night OF
Wednesday. April IA. when the limou-
sine of Mr.. Maverick Narkon,. superin-
tendent of Scotland Yard. came abruptly to
the head of Mulberry Lane, narrow road
skirting Wimbledon Common.
Lennard, the chauffeur. put on the brake
with such suddenness that the car all but COL
lided with the rear wall Of Wuthering Grange.
Mr.. Narkom had been mingling duty with
pleasure In taking part in the festivities
attendant upon the coming Of age Of his friend
Sir Philip Clayering's son and heir, incident
ally seeing that Petrie and Hammond, two Of
the sergcants. who were in the limousine with
him, kept a watchful eye upon the famous
Clavering service of gold plate.
Mr.. Narkom hastily unlatched the door and
leaned out
"What is it7 What's gone wrong7"
"a pistol shot-and police whistle-and
cry of murder. SIR"
OF sudden, the darkness was riven by the
screaming notes Of two police whistles far up
the lonely lane.
Hard on this came mans voice shouting:
"Head him off there, whoever you are"
"All right. mate. I'm here" another male
voice flung back.
Then with a word Of command Narkom
sent the limousine up the lane at a fifty-mlle
clip. 1t was mere dark funnel; but Len
nard's boyhood had been passed within hail
Ing distance Of the place. He knew that it
ran on for some seven or eight hundred feet
until It dipped down and ran through an old
arch of long-abandoned Wimbledon Loop
line.
The limousine seemed to have no more
than started before it came to halt again.
Narkom and his men rushed into the black
opening of the arch. and in the light of their
pocket torches came upon startling sight.
Snarling Ike couple of fighting dogs were
two men, locked tight in each others arms
one wearing the badge Of an appointed conf
mon keeper, the other the helmet Of Z
constable.

"Good Lordr' gulped the man he held.
The struggling figures fell apart, and
two men stood staring at each other.

They swung out Of the arch
with a rush. and Lennard sat
there keeping a close watch on
the miniature tunnel. Then.
all Of a sudden his nerves gave
a jump. A sound had come
behind the limousine.
He flashed the light of his
electric torch back over the top
of the vehicle. There moved
pacross it the figure of a wom-
an. Young and fair. with a
scarf Of lace thrown over her
head, from beneath which fell
