CHAPTER XyNI.
StyIcr Learns Things.

While Smith journeyed down to
Weymouth, Styler, less pressed for
time, went leisurely home TO his
lodgings. made ready his faithful
motor cycle, and in due course set
out on a pleasant evening ride across
Surrey. There was no particular rea-
son why he should arrive at Lynne
before dark. and he accordingly made
his way southwark at a moderate
speed. This plentitude of time also
induced Styler, when he was half
way to his destination, to pull up at
an inviting wayside host elry in the
Eeighborhood of Dorking, and to pos
sess himself of q. foaming pot of
bitter ale; a love of the truly rural
and of fresh air made him Sarry that
pot outside the tavern to Il bench
which stood beneath its diamond
paned windows and swinging sign
post. And sitting there in the fading
twilight, conversing amicabiy with q
carter whose horses were drink ing
at the trough, Styler became aware
of a smart automobile which came
from the direction of London and
went southwark. It flashed past the
wayside Ways ae inna at top pt speed and vas vas
remarkably sharp eyes. and in one
of the two occupants of that we'll
appointed car he recognized Mrs.
eutOn. he was glad to sec, however,
that Mrs. Renton did not recognize in
him the fourth member OF the group
which she had encountered at Darrell
Tress' fat earlier that very after
noon. Mrs. Renton did not, in fact,
even glance at the wayside inn. nor
at the ale consumer who lounged on
it's bench; she was busily engaged as
she whiried past in talking to a COM
ranion. And Styler observed that the
compan ion was a tall, elderly gentle
man of an appearance which sug-
with the army.
Styler made no haste over his pot
of ale, but he accelerated his speed
when he once more mounted his
motor cycle It was Just approaching
dusk when he rode into the stable
yard of the Lynne Arms. deposit ed
his machine in the coach house, and
went into the bar to arrange about
his room for the night. He fingered
there for few minutes, chatting
with the landlord; then. limiting that
he had little business in the village,
he went ont into the gloom. The
landlord believed that Stylcr vas
bound for the police station: but
Sryier. though he certainly proceeded
in that direction, soon turned on his
tracks and sought another. If any
one had been able to dog his foot
steps they would have found that
they led, BY various twistings and
turnings. to the neighborhood OF MR

dev, lopments. But Smith laughed
CertlN and satirica1ly when he read
the first paragraph Mrs. Renton had
had told the authorities precisely
what she had told the gathering in
Darrell Tress' study. And il was;
abundantly evident from the inspired
communication to the press that the
authorities regarded this as a. thor
oushly satisf actory explanation OF
Mrs. Renton's visit to Miss Brock S
lodgings.
TT is quite evident" the report
went on; that the gnf2Irtnnate
Gus and anxious state when MIS-.
Renton visited her, and the testi-
mony of the landlady, Mrs. HodcEon,
seems to indicate that she was equal
ly nervous and uneasy during the
next day. Mrs. HodEson states that
Miss Brock scarcely touched the
meals served to her. was seen and
heard to pace her room a great deal.
and was obviously anxious and alb
Stracted. She appeared to be eN-
trcInely nervous when the telegram
already referred TO was handed TO
her. and the servant who saw her
enter the taxicab in company with
the unknown man says that she was
excited manner. Fortunately, the
driver of the taxicab has come for
ward. At a late hour last night he
presented himself at New scotland
Yard and told his story to the au-
thorities. He remembered being
hailed by the two people in question
at the corner of LGlburnum Terrace.
and at the bidding of the man he
drove to the Park Lane corner OF
Upper Grpsvenor street, along which
his fares proceeded on his setting
them down. The police are making
inquiries on the lines suggested by
this information"
Smith laughed again as he threw
the paper aside. And after that he
gave himself up to thinking matters
ever on his own lines Of reasoning
and he was still thinking when at
o'clock he reached Pump Court
opened the door of his chambers and
was confronted by the always pune
tual Styler.
