Vance smiled alphabetically.
"A hellish Job, let us say, sergeant"
Markham regarded him with q quiz

DO you believe, Vance, that Hani
was in this room after Mrs. Bliss and
Salveter had gone upstairs?"
IT'S possible. In fact, 1t seems more

Of the breakfast room holding DR.. Bliss
firmly by the arm. The doctor, fully
clothed and with his hat on, was pro-
testing volubly. His face was pale and
his eyes had a hunted, frightened look.

Snitkin looked toward Markham.

Then Salveter answered in q horse,

Vance cleared his throat, and there
was silence.
Before we entered the room, how

to Heath from the front Of the hall.
The sergeant stepped forward past the

Bliss frowned and was about to ask

He went in and spoke TO the missus."

Vance turned to Markham and said
In low voice: That's why I sent
HAM upstairs alone. I had an idea

you find that tin Of opium?"
HAM Shrank away and his arms fell
to his sides. Where did you find the
opium" Vance repeated the question.
"I have explained, effendi" Despite
the doggedness of Hanis manner, his
tone was not convincing. "Yesl You've
explained-but you haven't told the
truth. The opium was not in your
room-although you have q reason Cor
wanting us to think so. A rea-
