The eyes of the lawyer and of the
Chinese clerk met. Not the shadow of
a smile hovered on the lips OF either,
but they understood each other per
fectly.
Il quite understand sir" said Ong,
but from my study of the case r. VS..
Crosbie / am of opinion that the pro-
duction of such a letter would be dam
aging to our CLIENT
Il have always had a very high
opinion of your legal acumen. Ong Chi
Seng."
1T has occurred to me, sir, that If
l could persuade my fiiend to induce
the Chinawoman who has the letter
to deliver it into our hands it would
save great deal of trouble"
Mr.. Joyce idly drew faces on his
plotting paper.
Il suppose your friend is a business
man. Under what circumstances do
you think he would be induced to part
with the letter."
He has not got the letter. The
Chinawoman has the letter. He is
She is an ignorant woman; she did
not know the value of the letter till
my fiiend told her"
What value did he put on it?"
Ten thousand dollars, sir"
Good God! Where on earth do
you suppose Mrs. Crosbie can get ten
thousand dollars? l tell you the let
ter's a forgery"
He looked up at Ong Chi Seng as
he spoke. The clerk was unmoved
by the outburst. He stood at the side
OF the desk, civil, cool and observant

sixth share of the kelanton River

Will lend him the money on the Sc

You have large circle of ac-
quaintance, Ong."
Yes, SIR
Well, you can tell them all to go
to hell. l would never advise Mr..
Crosbie to give a penny more than
five thousand for a letter that can be
very easily explained
The Chinawoman does not want
to sell the letter, sir. My fiiend took
a long time to persuade her. 1t is use
less to offer her less than the sum
mentioned"
Mr.. Joyce looked at Ong Chi Seng
for at least three minutes. The clerk
bore the searching scrutiny without
embarrassment. He stood in a re-
spectful attitude with cast-d down eyes.
Mr.. Joyce knew his man. Clever fell
low, Ong, he thought, I wonder how
much he's going to get out of it.
Ten thousand dollars is a very
large sum-"
Mr.. Crosbie will certainly pay it

rather than see his wife hanged, sir"
Again Mr. Jovce paused. What more
did Ong know than he said? He must
re pfetty sure OF his ground If he was
so obviously unwilling to bargain
That sum had been fixed on because
whoever it was who was managing
the affair knew it was the largest sum
that Robert Crosbie could raise.
Where is the Chinawoman now?"
asked Mr.. Joyce.
She is staying in the house of my
fiiend, sir"
will she come here?"
Il think it more better if YOU go TO
her, sir. l can take you to the house
tonight and she will give you the
letter. She is very ignorant woman
sir, and she does not understand

Il wasn't thinking of giving her n
check. L will bring banknotes with

1T would only be waste of time TO
bring less than $4,000, sir"

She grew very pale. A little
Shudder passed through her body.

She grew very pale. A little
shudder passed through her body.
'I put myself in your hands. OF
course, have no right to ask you to
do anything that isn't proper"
Mr.. Joyce moved uneasily in his
chair. He wondered what really was
the explanation of that letter. 1t was
not fair to her to conclude from it
that she had killed Hammond with
out provoca ton. He stared at the
floor. 1t embarrassed him a little to
speak.
II don't exactly know what your
husbands circumstances are"
She shot swift glance at him.
HE has a good many tin shares and
small share in two or three rubber
estates. 1 suppose he could raise the
money!
He would have to be told what it
was for"
She was silent for a moment She
seemed to think.
Hes in love with me still. He
would make any sacrifice to save me.
Is there any need for him to see the
letter."
Mr.. Joyce frowned a little. She
went on.
Robert is an old friend of yours
I'm not asking you to do anything
for me, I'm asking you to save a
rather simple, kind man who never
did you any harm from all the pain
that's possible
Mr.. joyce did not reply. He rose
TO go, and Mrs. Crosbie, with the grace
which was natural to her, held out
her hand. She was shaken by the
scene, and her look was haggard,
but she made a brave attempt to
speed him with courtesy.
ITS so good of you to take all this
trouble for me. l can't begin to tell
you how grateful l am
Mr.. Joyce returned TO his office. He
sat in his own room, quite still at
tempting to do no work, and pondered.
His imagination brought before him
many strange ideas. He shuddered a
little. On a sudden there was the dis
Greet knock on his door which he was
expecting. Ong Chi Seng came in.
Il was just going out to have my
chou, sir" he said.
''All right"
at didn't know if there was any
thing you wanted before I went, sir"
II don't think so. Did you make an
other appointment for Mr.. Reed?"
Yes, sir. He will come at 3 o'clock"
Good
Ong Chi Seng turned away, walked
to the door, and put his long, slim
fingers on the handle. Then, as though
as there anything you wish me to
say to my f1iend, sir?"
Although Ong Chi Seng spoke Eng
1ish so admirably he had still diff
ficulty with the letter r, and he pro-
nounced it "fliend."
What friend?"
about the letter that Mrs. Crosbie
wrote to Hammond deceased, sir
"Oh! I'd forgotten about that. I
mentioned it to Mrs. Crosbie. and she
denies having written anything of the
sort. It's evidently forgery"
Mr.. Joyce took the copy from his
pocket and handed it to Ong Chi Seng.
Ong Chi Seng ignored the gesture.
"In that case, sir. suppose there
would be no objection if my tiiend de
livered the letter to the public prose
cutor'
None. But I don't quite see what
good that would do your friend"
MY fliend, sir, thought it was his
duty in the interests of justice"
Il am the last man in the world to
interfere with any one who wishes to
do his duty, Ong."

red face bore an expression Of COM
plete bewilderment, and Mr.. Joyce was
at once relieved and exasperated by
his lack Of comprehension. He was a
stupid man, and Mr.. Joyce had no pa
tience with stupidity. But his distress
since the catastrophe had touched a
soft spot in the lawyers heart. Mrs.
Crosbie had struck the right note
when she asked him to help her not
for her sake. but for her husbands.
"I need not tell you that it would
be very awkward If this letter found
its way into the hands of the prosecu-
ton. Your wife has lied, and she
would be asked to explain the lies. 1t
alters things a little if Hammond did

not intrude, an unwanted guest, but
came to your house by invitation. 1t
would be easy to arouse in the jury
a certain indecision of mind"
Mr.. Joyce hesitated. He was face
to face now with his decision. If it
had been a time for humor, he could
have smiled at the reflection that he
was taking so grave a step, and that
the man for whom he was taking 1t
had not the smallest conception of it's
gravity. If he gave the matter a
thought he probably imagined that
what Mr.. Joyce was doing was what
any lawyer did in the ordinary run Of
business.

to have luncheon, too. He went to
the club and here, as he had expected,
he saw Robert Crosbie. He was sitting
at a crowded table, and as he passed
him, looking for place, Mr.. Joyce
touched him on the shoulder.
I'D like to have a word or two with
you before you CO." he said.
Right you are. Let me know when
you're ready"
Mr.. Joyce had made up his mind
how to tackle him. He played a rub
ber of bridge after luncheon in order
to allow time for the club to empty
itself. He did not want on this par
ticular matter to see Crosbie in his
office. Presently Crosbie came into
the card room and looked on till the
game was finished. The other players
went on their various affairs and the
two were left alone.
"A rather unfortunate thing has
happened, old man." said Mr.. Joyce in
tone which he sought to render as
casual as possible. 1T appears that
your wife sent a letter to Hammond
asking him to come to the bungalow
on the night he was killed"
But that's impossible" cried
Crosbie. She's always stated that
she had no communication with Ham
mond. l know from my own knowl-
edge that she hadn't set eyes on him
for couple of months
THE fact remains that the letter
exists. It's in the possession of the
Chinese woman Hammond was living
with. Your wife meant to give you
present on your birthday, and she
wanted Hammond to help her to get
it. In the emotional excitement that
she suffered from after the tragedy,
she forgot all about 1t, and having
once denied having any communica-
ton with Hammond she was afraid
TO say that she had made a mistake.
1t was, of course, very unfortunate,
but | daresay it was not unnatural" >"
Crosbie did not speak. His large,

The market opened with a bearish
