er than any other man in public life
has enjoyed the Presidents acqualnt-

Amherst in 1891. A couple of years

he denied that soft impeachment, add

you'd like to communicate with? The
King or anybody"
do you mind telephoning my news
paper?" said Bill, who knew that 1t
would be a waste of time trying to
match his wits with the officer. Per
haps you'll not be so comic tomorrow
morning"
A claim of association with a news
paper was more effective than his
statement that he was a friend of
Bullott. But, by extraordinary bad
luck, there was no member OF the
night staff who knew him. The city
editor had gone home, and the men on
duty were strangers to him; and when
he had at last persuaded the sergeant
to communicate with Bullott, 1t was
to discover that that officer also was
not at home.
He spent the night in a police cell,
and at 10 o'clock the next morning
was brought before the magistrate
charged with disorderly conduct and
striking Police Constable Higgins in
the execution OF his duty. 1t was so
ludicrous, so amazingly grotesque an
experience, that he did not know
whether to laugh or cry when the
magistrate inflicted a small fine and
he almost ran out OF court.

''That sounds as though most of

For some reason the depression
which had laid on his mind like a
cloud during the last few weeks had
vanished and he could trace his sense
of relief and cheerfulness to that lit
tie talk he had with the girl on the
Dartmoor road. 1t was not a thing
to think about, even to dream about,
but he was filled with sense of
awed amaZement that she had con-
descended to speak to him on such
tremendous matters. 1t was that

Lafin's fist had struck Bill full in
the mouth. Savagely he hit back; the
doctor lodged and the blow, going
across his shoulder, caught the police
man under the jaw and sent him
sprawling. In a second he was on
his feet, had torn the men apart, fling
ing the doctor against the ratings OF
the park and holding Bill in a grip
from which there was no escape.

the officer.

worse. Take that man-he's Latin,

sense of wonder and humility that

Toward the evening when he was
working at the newspaper office the
city editor brought him news that the
body of Tinker Lane had been found
and later came a prosaic reminder of
his own responsibility in the matter
in the shape of a policeman bearing
an order to appear beforea the coro-

Every message that reached the Of

The second man was, of course, Joshua

And the third?" asked Bill.
'Ill give you three guesses.
''Not Toby Marsh?" said Holbrook.
"Toby Marsh and no other" said
Bullott. i've been to his lodgings to
make absolutely sure, but he hasn't
been there since last night. He was
riding with Latin and the two were
seen talking very contidentially by
policeman as they came into Bath,
where the car was garaged at the
Hudson Hotel. This confirms the
story of the Taunton police and the
waiter at Two Bridges. who say there
We're two men beside the driver"
''Toby Marsh" 1olbrook was be-
wildered.
"If have failed it is my own fault"
said Bullott despondently. Those gay
writer's in the newspapers said | was
a fool to take this little thief into my
confidence-and they are more than
justified. Now that it is too late I
have discovered that Latin and Marsh
were old acquaintances. The only con
viction that the police have against
Marsh is for breaking and entering
Laffin's place in Bath. I've been
looking at the records of the case and
the story is a simple one. Latin was,
as usual, in a state of poverty, but
had some valuable books and old
Egyptian manuscripts, which he had
insured heavily. The story Marsh told
was that he was an acquaintance of
Laffin's and had been employed by
him to commit the burglary with the
object of getting the insurance, though
the Egyptian papyri were subsequent
ly proved to be practically valueless.
Naturally, nobody believed the bur-
glar against a respected local doctor,
and Toby was sent down. swearing he
would get even with the man who
double-crossed him."
But why should Marsh have given
us all this information about Laffin?"
Partly for revenge" said Bullott.

That was all-it was a message

Bullott know about the treasury of.

that the Escorial was carrying $50.
100000 in paper currency to New

his mind was that some extraordinary

the basis for his fear he could not de-
