 CHAPTER VI
 Detcctiyc-Inspcctor Wragge
 The Right Honorable stephen Colne was a bachelor, and when staying at his country seat he play ed second fiddle 10 the austere, middle-aged maiden sister whom he had installed as chatelaine.
 But though he gave his sister a free hand in the ordering of his household, there was one reserva- ton which she did not dare to transgress. His study was an inner shrine which even the grim spinster was forbidden to invade without in- vitation.
 It was here that Mir. stephen Colne was sitting on the day after

the inquest on the unidentified hu- man remains found in the chalk pit on Bare Acre Down. He was impatiently turning over some papers that had reached him by the morning post but his glance strayed frequently to one of the windows giving on the drive. His pale intellectual face was set rigid ly, but a gleam came into his tired eyes as his car rushed up the ave- nue and stopped under the Georg- ian portico.
 The man who descended and ap- preached the front door wore the black garments and conventional hard felt hat of an Anglican clergy man. A moment later MT. Colne's butler announced him as "The Reverend MT. Branson," though Mir. Colne had quite another name for the visitor when the butler had gone his ways.
 Well, Inspector Wragge," he said, shaking hands with an air of 1 condescension, "the commissioner made no difficulty about assigning you to the case, I presume?"
 None whatever, sir" was the re- ply.
 James Wragge was one of the most formidable detective officers attached to New Scotland Yard. In what likeness his Creator had fash toned him probably no living being but his wife knew, so versatile were his assumptions of types and char acters It was a popular belief at 'The Yard" that Jcm Wragge wore some sort of q disguise in the pri- racy of his room at headquarters.
 Mir. Colne allowed the latent dry ness in the inspectors reply to pass ! unheedcd.
 MT. Wraggc selected a convenient 1 chair and sat down opposite his host.
 You will have gathered the sali- cnt features of the case from the London papers," Mir, Colne re- sumod. "There is no doubt in my mind that Sir Dudley Glenister fakcd the evidence of his cousin Georges death in America, after inyeigling him back to England and killing him within a mile or two of his home. That is what you have set out to prove"
 The inspector had produced a memorandum book - dainty thing of russia leather with gilt edged leaves.
 u"I have already laid a train, sir, '' he said. glancing at a nearly blank page. 'I have cabled the American police to look up the death of the man buried as George Glenister al Lone Wolf City, Montana, and &C., ing the, present baronets right oi succession. I only had an hour al my disposal before catching the train, but l ascertained that Sii ! Dudley was not out of England within a year of Sir Philip Glenis- ter's death. If he procured the fax ing of the American evidence ht , must therefore have employed z delegate who proceeded to the spot kl a few days I ought to be able tt lay my hands on his emissary." Mr. stephen CoGne nodded ap , proval, "A iudicious start" he said Incidentally, Sir Dudley has order ed all his guests but Doctor Mel , vile 10 leave the Grange"

But it must have stayed there, because when Junior and were riding on Lady with Jerry we came around that way and Lee Chow in American clothes, was just going through the hedge to- ward it."
 "Of course" I answered with a satisfied nod, land the mystery of the sedan is mystery no longer. Lee Chow was simply keeping watch over us as he told me he would do"

Marion Reveals inc Secret of the
 Sedan.

NNNlAuts
 Marion's mignonne face famed with relief and pleasure at her mothers words and l knew that the sensitive child had been torturng herself with the idea that she was defrauding either her mother or mo by not revealing 10 both of us her observation concerning the sedan. l wanted to call out to her that l already had fathomcd the absurd secret, but l forbore lest l hurt her still more.
 "Oh, Mumsie," she caroled hopi oily, do you mean that 1 may tell you and Aunte Madge about it, both at once?"
 "I mean just that,' hor mother returned. Run out with Junior now"
 And when you come to your mothers room, Marion,' l directed, asI followed Lillian out of the door, "bring Junior to Mrs. Ticer and tell her he is to stay in the Kitchen until you come down again"
 "I'u remember everything" she promised as she and Junior went out of the door. Then Lillian and I made our way to the sick room, from which we promptly sent Kath- crime for her luncheon.
 The unconscious girl lay just as we had left her, and neither 1iI- lian nor I spoke until Katherine came back and banished us, saying that she would call Us whenever she needed US.
 Marion Watches Katherine
 We found Marion waiting at her mothers door. She evidently had kept a watchful eye upon Kath- crimes movements, and across her shining hair Lillian and l smiled tenderly at each other.
 Now, Marion" her mother said when we were seated co2ily in Lil- Hans room. Marion cuddled close to her mother in a big arm chair tell us what startled you when the sedan passed us"
 Instead of answering directly . Marion turned to me with a ques- tion.
 "Auntie Madge," she asked ear nestly, do you remember that night when I saw. the queer face at the window"
 "Yes, dear" I returned with a vivid memory indeed, not only of her fright but of my own investisa- tion and the finding of the shape less footprint upon the veraEda roof.
 We'll the little girl went on 'there was a face in the sedan win dow which was almost exactly like that one"
 "I am sure of 1t, Marion" l said smiling at her, "beCause l think th' face in the window and the face il the sedan are the same, and th' name of the owner is Lee Chow"
 She stared at me wide eyed.
 But the faces didn't look tht way Lee Chow does?" she protest ed.
