CHAPTER v.
The Old Stage Queen.

That question. obvious enough, was
doubtless agitating the minds of the
twelve or twehty country folk who
stood around. dividing their stares be-
tween the wrecked car and ourselves
But the policeman had more to say
and was eager to say it.
I've been up on top there, Miss
Manson" he went on, pointing to the
brow of the chalk pit high above
where we stood. Yes, l went up
| there as soon as I set eyes on this
mess, though. of course. / made sure
to begin with that there wasn't no
dead body nor parts O. one lying down
here. And i took careful look
round, miss, not only at what's just
above. but at the road beyond. OF
course, trained eye. like mine. sees
what-well. what other people don't
see. You'll understand me?"
Perfectly. Roberts" replied Miss
Manson. And you saw-what?"
"This here. miss" answered the po-
liceman with proud assurance. 'Tha
there car came along the road that
shoulder of the hill. and from the
south-it didn't come tother way.
Cause why? Before ever going up
there | took careful look at them
tires-you'll see they're of a peculiar
make, and therefore have peculiar
impression.
Now then, you'll find that impress

to see her. She left the breakfast
table hurr:ediy. I could see that she
| was already alarmed and wondering
| if anything had befallen any of her
precious charges. But within two
minutes she looked in at the open
door of the room and nodded at me.
| Mr.. Cranage," she said, will you
come out here?"
! went out. Bradgett was standing
| little way down the wide hall; she
drew me in the opposite. direction.
Have you any idea as to what sort
| of car it was that you were driven
away in last night?" she asked, in a
whisper.
What sort? Do you mean make?"

of car. l should say-why?'
Wait a minute" she answered.
| Then she turn d to Bradgett. All
| right, Bradgett." she called. Til go
there myself Did you say the upper
| chalk pitt"
That's it. miss-the upper chalk
pit" replied Bradgett. AT the bot
tom, of course"
Very well-Tll go now" she said
Then. as the man left the hall, she
turned to me again. One of our boys
has just come in with news that d
| motor car, hopelessly wrecked. of
course, has been found this morning
| at the bottom of chalk pit half a
mile away. Gone clear over the edge
"a drop of. OH perhaps seventy or
eighty feet"
with anybody in -it?" l exclaim-
ed. seventy or eighty feet! Why,
them
But that's the queer thing" said
she. There isn't trace of anybody.
Of course, if there had been any
body in it plunge of eighty
feet-eh?'
We stood for a moment in silence,
staring at each other. Then she turn
ed to stand close by. picked out an
ashplart walking stick and. motion
ing me to take another, moved off
toward the hall door.
Come along she said. We've
both finished breakfast. and well go
to look at it. For I'm already Won
dering-iS this the car that brought
you to the top of the Downs?"
And if it is" said |. where's Hol-
liment? For Holliment certainly
drove it. And if it is his car and he
went over with it.
That's utterly impossible she de-
clared. NO man could go over the
edge of that chalk pit and fall eighty
feet and then get away alive. But it's
no use speculating-let's get there"
She led me out of the grounds,
along the hillside and up a sort of
mountain road for half mile. Sud-
denly turning off this and crossing a
bit OF wiry turf, she brought me up
sharp on the very lip of the chalk
pit-unfenced, unprotected in any
way. And, looking down we saw the
car good eighty feet below. 1t
seemed to me that it was smashed
into as many fragments as there are
seas IN the world. There were peo-

you what happened. miss-the fellow
as had this car pulled up there. Then
he probably took a look round-and
over this here formidable cavity
though it's likely he knew of it be-
tore. Then he got his car on to the
@ @tulf above that edge, jumped off him
self while she was moving, and let
her,-rip! He stood up there-safe,
and she went over the edge-smash

go in for the detective service?"
We'll, and I've thought of that be-
Tore now. miss" remarked the graft
NED policeman. However. there's one
thing that beats me about this job,
and it, this-What object could any
man have in wrecking car like
Ithis-deliberate? 'Taint what you'd

Miss Manson replied that she was

returned to the top Of the chalk pit
ana verified his statement about the
impressions on the light surface of
the hillside road. There was no doubt
Whatever that the car had come to
thls point from near that at which
had been deposited during the night,
nor that the running of 1T over the
edge OF the chalk-pit had been a de-
ilDerate act, for on examining the
edges of the roadway more carefully
we saw the place whereat it had been
turned off at almost right angles and
another place where it had evidently
rested on the turf before being re-
started and sent to destruction.

Of the morning, for he himself had
been in the chalk pit with a game

then nothing to notice; he said, too,
that the lad who had first found the
