employed in the melting down of the

made an independent statement to the

Wade was moving on when Snidy
caught his sleeve.
You'll find a pretty tough lot round
here today, Mr.. Wade" he said in a
low voice I shouldn't wander about
alone, if was you
The warning was not necessary, how
ever, for Wade knew the danger he was
in as he passed men who stared at him
with expreSsion1ess eyes and glanced
quickly at one another, but uttered no
word.
He saw Mrs. Oaks in the small watt
ing room adjoining the corridor. She
had evidently slept very little. but she
was calm. She asked if he had been
to the Mecca, and, when he replied
that he had not, she said:
"I hope you're going to settle this
business today, Mr.. Wade. I don't see
how you can bring any charge against
me, much less prove it. I've got the
best lawyers that money can hire, and,

"All right, you'll see what can do!

Lord Siniford is dead"
John Wade spoke coldly and deliber-
ately, watching the woman. She went
scarlet, and then the color faded, leav-
ing her face peaked and gray.
"Dead?" she whispered.
He nodded.
"When-when did he die?"
HE was murdered last night" said
Wade. His body was found In the

She swayed forward, and he caught
her and helped her to chair. But
she had not tainted.

The reply came from Wade's lips as

the body. Lord Siniford had been

Nothing much. Evidently he was a
bad sailor and was going to sea. The
murder took place between midnight

in the region Of Westminster"
He took down from peg the heavy
looking waiStcoat the dead man had
worn.
This is proof that he expected to go
to sea. 1t is padded with fiber, and is
the sort of thing worn by nervous pas

despairtug gesture.
He left soon after, and had only been
gone an hour when Elk telephoned, ask
Ing him to come to Scotland Yard.
Weary of mind and body, sick at heart,
Wade obeyed the summons.
Elk was in the superintendent's room
and the burly chief was studying
radio message when Wade came in. He
pushed the paper across the table.
