 Naturally. Hes taking himself off to leave room for you. Wait here by the shrubbery and I'll go and get him out of it."
 AS I entered the den I guessed that Laxton had heard the arrival of the taxi. So I said to my mother:
 Cousin Johns just come - very tired, but he'd like a little supper when he's had a wash"
 Whereupon LaXton put down his glass and soon took his leave.
 When the coast was clear and I brought the man in from the shrub bery. and he stood revealed in the light of the hall, I had a terrible jar. But my mother just smiled in her sweetest way and said:
 "Well, Cousin John, how are you?'
 The man was tall, and between 30 and 40 years of age. He had a stubble of beard of three days growth at least, which stood out all over his face and-this was the sinister thing-was quite as long as his hair.

fact had been evident the night be- fore. It simply shrieked at me at breakfast time.
 My mother was down first. When l entered the room she poured my coffee. then handed me the news paper and said:
 "I'H leave you now, I shall be in the garden"
 This was unusual. I divined some intention. AS soon as I opened the paper. I saw it. She wanted me to reflect before ex. claiming.
 The paper contained short and extremely sketchy account of the affair at Newplace Abbey - the shooting of Pell through ;he key tole by some unknown marauder who had half murdered Professor Laxton before wholly murdering Fell.
 I gathered that this would be the trend of the evidence at the inquest, that the assistance of Scot land Yard had been called in. and the most efficient "5leuths" who in habted the Yard would devote themselves to the chase of the mysterious muracer.
 All of which seemed pretty tame Beside the actuality.
 And it was not the report of the Newplace affair that had st1rtled my mother and now made me sweat until l wen. cold.
 The place of honor among the sensational news that morning be- longed to long message Prom Our Special Correspondent" des- patched from Tavistock in Devon and printed un1er the heading:

 This man had a shapely head, but his dark eyes the look of a hunted wolf. He wore nondescript clothes, he held in his left hand a battered hat and in his right a rag ged bag. He might have rummaged an old clothes shop and put on the first things that came to hand.
 My mother is very dainty woman - rather fragile in appear ance, but really quite sound and gracefully active. And she, like a hostess receiving a distinguished guest, walked up to this fearful tramp and said, Well, Cousin John how are you?"
 He put down the queer-looking black bag he carried, took the ex-

 Cousin Johns fingers were clenched and he frowned heavily at me.
 Have we been sitting with the window like that all the time?" he asked
 I nodded.
 What madness." he muttered, and drew the curtains across. a
 No harm done" l said. That's the kitchen garden side. And mo- fody ever comes to Woodcot at night"
 He relaxed and said a word of apology to my mother.
 He slept in the room Iaxton had occupied the night before. When I went to see him in the morning he said he thought the hest thing he could do was to report SICK and stay in his room till he Tad news. Then nobody who might hear of Cousin John would be sur rrlSed If he was naTer visible. Not word passed between us about Veronica or Mrs. Seabroke, nor did l say anything of the events at NeWplaCe on the previous day. l did mention in the course of the talk the name of Pell.

STATE ID CHECK UP
 ON BUCKET SHOPS
20 Men Indicted and Assistant
 Prosecutor Forced to Quit

Chicago, Sept. 10 LPl-True bills against 20 men and the forced resignation of an assistant states attorney today marked "only the beginning" of the war against Chi cago bucket shops, States Attorney Swanson said.
 More Raids Promised
 Numerous raids may be expected immediately, the prosecutor stated, to drive out firms which have caused an estimated loss of half a million dollars 10 investors in this territory. An investigation also is under way to determine whether Arthur Carl sten, the assistant states attorney who resigned yesterday, conducted the inquiry into bucketeering proper ly. Carlsten had been in charge of the investigation.
 The true bills returned yesterday followed testimony before the grand

jury of Is persons who said they had been defrauded in stock purchases recommended by the brokerags firms.
 Chief among those named in the true bills were James Gualano and Jack Warren, president and vice president of Hamilton. King & Co.,; and Ii. C. Hall and D. D. Snedeker, officials of the firm; Jules and Fred- erick C. Bristol, officials of the Bris- tol Co.,; Clifford Moore, alias Ollie Moore, president of Clifford Moore X Co.,, said to be a dummy concern of the Marshall Randolph firm; and salesmen and employees of the vari- GUS companies.
 All Face Charges
 All were charged with violating the state blue sky law and most with embezzlement.
 From Grover Comstock, named az office manager of Clifford Moore & Co.,, investigators learned that the buCketeers feared racketeers more than they did public officials. Com. stocks job, he said, was to prevent 'shakedown artists" from carrying on their business.

a little. He apoloHzed for his ap- petite. At the end of his meal, having eaten a plateful of rasp- berries, he said
 T wonder if I might? It's so long since I tasted-''
 He broke off short as my mother refilled his plate. He treated her with a kind of queer, lrave courtesy, half humble, half equal. AS for me, he seemed 10 be weigh ing me up, speculating whether I could be trusted, whereas he had implicit faith in my mother 'om the first moment. A settled conver- sation was difficult. He was clearly afraid of it. He would begin a re- vealing sentence and drop it un- completed.
 The one thing he talked out was LaXton. He had an overpowering desire to know about the professor. When he learned that l made the channel through which I4axton had come, he gnawed on the fact as a terrier does a bone, and licked it, and paved it about.
 l said nothing of my visit with LaXton to the NeWplace cloistcrs But he returned again and again to LaXton's arrival It Woodcot, the time, the circumstances.

 Nonsense" said my mother Tom, take Cousin John up to the bathroom. l see you've got some things, Cousin John--not like Pro- lessor Laxton."
 "No.' said ne. I've no things rot a rag. The bag
 He paused, and his eyes glanced from one to the other of us. Then he shrugged his shoulders
 T may as well tell you now" he went on. The bag contains pri- vate things of great importance and value to me. I want you to put 1t in your safe.'
 CHAPTER IS
 THE BLACK BAG
 After his first hesitation, Cousin John made the startling request in a matter of fact style, as if he were asking us to take care of his umbrella.
 It is not easy to describe the ef- feet Of the announcement, by a man with a head cropped as his was. that he had secret of apparently momentous value in an old black bag.
 Even my mother was taken back for q moment. But she recovered her aplomD.
 "Oh?" said she. Tom will see to that. and he'll look you out some things. Cousin John"
 Thank you, Mrs. Grenofen. You ask no questions. You take me on trust. You are splendid. If grati- tude-"
 "Oh, don't" cried my mother. Co along with Tom"
 Bring the bag this way" said l. and he followed me into the studio.
 1 do not know what use the pre- Vlous owner had made of this room but he had built a steel safe into the wall. My guest watched the black bag deposited and locked up. and uttered a little sobbing noise.
 At last,' he said. But the words were addressed to himself.
 1 took him to the bathroom. There he caught sight of himself Tn the big glass. I thought he would fall as he staggered back against me. Then he burst into uncomfortable oaths. I stole away saying;
 ''Youll find some razors on tbo shelf if you want them. Come down to the dining room when you're ready"

 Professor LaXton sat in my long chair smoking a cigar, when I went In. I greeted him.
 How do, professor? If you want another midnight expedi- tion. not for this child tonight
 Wouldn't think of asking you, MT. Grenofen. 1 only came up to say thanks for not recognizing me in the hall at Newplace.'
 "Oh," l said, but I gave myself away! I forgot I'd seen you in London and therefore ought to have owned you when they brought you into the library. In the excitement most people missed it, but one saw it"
 "Who was that?"
 "Mr Fotherbury himself"
 "Ah-well, he may forget. A queer yarn about this fellow Pell What do you think? Just madness or method in it?"
 If there wasn't any method in it. professor, there was purpose. Pell expected to reveal somebody

 Haven't a shadow, professor. What about you?"

 Must have sip before you go, professor"
 And I went out of the room with cut giving him a chance to refuse. I wanted to know whether MT. John Merryweathcr had arrived and the coast was clear. But Mr Merryweather had not yet produced himself. In fact it was while my mother put glasses on g tray in the dining room that l heard car in Woodcot lane.
 Take the tray in to Laxton, will you, mother?" said I. Keep him talking till I've spirited Cousin John out of the way"
 And I went down to the road reaching the gate as the taxi pulled up.
 Hello, Cousin John," I called into the dark. Just step inside the gate. Got your bag"
 A figure went by me. I paid the lriver. He maneuvered round Presently his tail light dropped flown the road.
 Cousin John Merryweather, where are you?" I said. There's l man in the house, and We thought we'd just get in quietly and snug gle you upstairs at once.'
 "A man? What man" asked q deep voice. I'm suspicious of all men,"
 Hes called Professor LaXton," said l, and he came down to look It some Roman remains at New place."

 It certainly seemed as Cousin ohm might be a rather troublesome cative. We went quietly round the back of the house. Unfor unately l had not noticed that the lind of the big north window had tot been drawn. A huge square of ,right light lap on the turf. Nearly he whole interior of the room was -isible.
