/ coveries down there III let you know
at once"
We shook hands and, sei1ng my
chance before the car moved on, I
opened the door and slipped out on
the pavement.
There must have been at least a
dozen people sitting and standing
about when entered the lounge, but
I spotted Molly and Jerry at once
I'm sure you've got some news for
u.s." was Jerry's opening remark. You
came in through the door looking so
important and mysterious.
Il did nothing of the kind" I pro-
tested Il entered with the nonchalant
air of a well-bred English gentleman.
That's exactly how it struck me, u
| agreed Molly.
You're right about the news,
! though" I went on. lowering my
voice I've any amount to tell you

an adjacent couch on which two gen.
tlemen were gesticulating vigorously
over their coffee and cigars. Cant
We find some place where We shall be
bit more private?"
why not come up to my bed
room?" suggested Molly. I'VE can
talk comfortably there"
That's sage idea" Jerry jumped
to his feet. "I'll tell them to bring
along some refreshments. Well prob
ably want drink before we've fin
iShed"
As We made our way to the elevator
espied the diminuative figure of my
young friend, Jimmy Fox. I suddenly
remembered our talk of the previous
day.
Hello. Jimmy" said, pulling up.
Brought those drawings with you?'
He beamed at me shyly. Yes, sir"
Good" I observed I'll have a
look at them before I go. I suppose
shall find you somewhere about
here?"
Yes. sir. I'm on duty in the lounge
till $780,
We'll, won't forget" I promised
him. III be down in about an hour S

vator, which came to a halt on the
fourth floor. Molly's room was round

corridor-a pleasant, airy apartment
looking out on to the Embankment.
1t was comfortably furnished with a
sofa, two easy chairs and a writing
table, while a tall leather screen on
one side of the bed protected its oc-
cupant from any possible draught
I looked round with an approving
nod. They haven't done you too
badly" remarked.
Its lovely room" agreed Molly.
That's what comes Of being intro
duced by a baronet If I'd arrived
alone expect they'd have tucked me
away in an attic"
AS she spoke there was a sound of
steps in the passage outside, and the
waiter to whom Jerry had given his
order appeared with the tray. He de-
posted 1t on the writing table, and
retiring with shilling tip, closed the
door after him.
Now let's get to work" Jerry
dropped down into one of the chairs
What's this news Of yours, and why
was old Avon so desperately keen on
seeing you?"
Sitting down with Molly on the
sofa, I plunged straight into my story
As near as I could I repeated word
for word exactly what Sir william had
told me. while leaning forward with
intent faces the two of them listened
to me in absorbed silence.
II don't know whether you'll think
did right" 1 concluded, but it
seemed to me that the most sensible
thing was to tell him the truth. Any
how, we'd nothing to lose by it. I
could see that although he was pre-
pared to deal with Osborne he wasn't
really out to swindle US. All he wanted
was to get hold of the invention, and
if he could manage that through the
rightful owner, it would obviously be
a much safer and better way than by
doing business with a thief"
Jerry nodded. so he knows the
whole story"
Everything" I said II gave him
full account of my little dust-up at
the studio. I told him all about Molly
and all about you, and I finally ex-
planned how we'd talked it over and
decided that the only course open to
us was to tackle the job ourselves"
And what did he say to that?"
Nothing very encouraging. I'm
afraid he doesn't take us seriously as
sleuths. All the same he's going to
let me have the keys Of the factory.
and he's promised to give us a note
to the people at the farm where Os-
borne boarded"

his new work, so full of plans for
his marriage with Martha Holman.
Breakfast, difficult attempts at
casual conversation. Harriet looked
at her husband The veins over
Bruce's temples were distended and
throbbing His hopeful eaSy-going
world had turned over on him, as
Bobs car had done.
Alone, Harriet turned mechanically
20 the dishes. Her thoughts ran
through the narrowing details of the
accident, the sitting stiffness in which
Bob lay, his 22-year-old face smiling
slightly, incredulously, at the idea
of not being alive.
A knock at the kitchen door startled
her.
1t was a young man. about Bob's
age, his clothes impressed and fretted
with long travel in all WeatherS, but
his face clean and his eyes sturdily
looking into her own.
Have you any work I could do
to earn some breakfast? don't want
the breakfast unless l can work for
it." hurrying to set himself within
the pale of respectability, however
downtrodden
Harriet smiled. There was some
thing about the boy.
1t ended in his sweeping out the
basement and setting things to rights
there.
During the full breakfast that fol-
lowed Harriet questioned:

Yes. I'm heading for place out
West where I hope to get job on

for engineering, you see, and then
my dad died and I couldn't go on
with school.
But I didn't have the money for
Q train or a bus, so I'm 'hoofing' it.
Guess I look pretty ratty, don't II"
He grinned, engagingly.
A thought that had been running
in and out of Harriet's mind sud-
denly reached her lips:
"If you could stay few minutes

I've been wondering what to do with

mean. You see, my son"-her voice

Who was this man?
BIN drew himself up on his four
feet. He shifted questionpgly at
the cuffs of the trousers, the coat

No. His master and not his master.
The dog whimpered, lifting his head
to the hand that carressed him. They
talked together for a long while.
Martha Holman came softly across
the grass.
I'm Bob Jamison's fiancee," she
said gently. Mrs. Jamison sent me
to drive you back to the house.
AS he moved away with the girl
the young engineer whistled to the

Suddenly BIN felt that this puz-

Bruce Jamison had listened alb

Bob Baxter missed his dead father
