he asked. "And how you've grown!"

beer and considered the matter for
moment.

"Not at ALL" she answered firmly.

There's not one of them knows how to

and hide whnever I see him coming"
"He showed our people how to
handle a boat the other night, any
way. A fine feat of his, bringing that
ketch in"
The girl was unenthusiastic.

young lady,"
"Come to think of it, you're quite
right" Andrews agreed. 81 shouldn't
be surprised, Matresser, if they don't
let the whole matter drop-for a time
at any rate"
'We will agree between ourselves
to forget about it, anyway" Mattress
ser suggested cheerfully. 81 am bored
to death with all these speculations
myself"
"Those Scotland Yard fellows may
be damned clever" Andrews went on,
''but unless they find the box of hy-
podermic needles under Mrs. Foulds'
pillow or in my surgery with one miss
ing, I don't see how they are going to
tackle this business. The fellow didn't
belong to the place. His friends or
his enemies were all outside and it
was probably someone outside who did
him in-someone who had been fol-
lowing him. Anything might be true
about him. By-the-by, Matresser,
suppose we shall read tomorrow morn
ing the few little things that must
have happened at the inquest-who
this man really was and that soft of
thing"
Matresser shook his head.
"There Pm afraid you are going to
be disappointed" he said. "The press
was barred out as was the general
public.
"Was-was Mademiselle Stamier
there?"
"Not that I know Of" Matresser re-
piled. "No reason for her to be. She
was not subpoenaed. AS a matter of
fact, I know she was not. She and
Ann went over to Holcomb this morn
ing beagling."
The car drew up outside Andrews
pleasant little house. Matresser wav-
ed his hand and drove on. He passed
the turn up to the Great House and
pulled up outside the local inn. Mr..
Hewells, the landlord, came hurrying
out-a smile of delight upon his face.
"Good morning, your lordship," he
welcomed his visitor.
"Hewells," his patron said, shutting
off the engine and lighting cigarette

pay her respects. It's just like your
lordship's kindness to come and give
US a call like this"
He hurried back through the hos
pitably opened door. Matresser smok
ed thoughtfully, his eyes fixed upon
the tall mat of the Daphne which was
lying in the middle of the pool. There
were no signs of life on board but
the dinghy was waiting by the side.
He turned away to greet the girl who,

about in some out of the way part of
the world, and given them my views,
but nothing of the slightest impor-
tance-nothing that could be connect
ed with a tragedy like this"
Matresser found Andrews pacing
restlessly up and down in front of the
hotel.
"What does it all mean, Matres-
ser?" he asked eagerly. "There are
the most extraordinary rumors going
about"
eft doesn't mean anything so far as
I have been able to find OUT" was the
Indifferent reply.
"But it is true that the inquest was
stopped by order of the Home Secre-
tary?"
Nothing of the Sort" Matresser
assured him. "For some reason which
no one understands there does seem
to be a desire on the part of the For
eign Office to keep the fellows bust
ness in these parts secret, but there's
no idea of hushing the thing up alto
gether. Scotland Yard men are COM
ing down and they won't rest until
they get to the bottom of it."
"I didn't want to go into Court, "
the little doctor said, as he stepped
into the car. "God knows I didn't
want to do that but it seemed extra
ordinary that wasn't even called"
"No necessity" Matresser pointed
out. "Death did not come from the
conclusion for which you were treat
ing him It came from something
quite outside. There will be a murder
trial some day I suppose but by that
time they will know more about the
whole affair than they do now, and the
consequences of publicity will be less
harmful"
"Shall we ever know, I WONDER"
the doctor reflected, "what made that
fellow blunder into a wet turnip field
in the middle of the Storm"
"Panic I should think and the eff
feet of the conclusion. Seems to me
something or other had put him into a
blue funk. don't like to suggest
it of man with a service club on his
card, but what can you think?"
"He might have been trying to find
his way to your house."
Everything is possible, but very
boring to talk about" Matresser OBJ
served. "By-the-way, Doctor, there is
one little point you don't seem to have
touched upon that ought to have
frightened you up. If they didn't let
you go into the witness box to tell the
Court how nicely you dealt with his
conclusion, you have not been asked,
either, about that mysterious vehicle
that nearly knocked us into the next

wish it known that anyone from the

humbly. "There does not seem to be

tell Troberg, master of the Finnish
freighter Kuurtanes. reported on
arrivel yesterday that his ship was
stopped by submarine four days
out Of Sundvall. Sweden. in the
North Sea, on September 25.
His pretty 28-year- old wife. Margit,

cause she thought she ought to be
with him in times like these stood
by the captains side as he described
the submarine incident.
Capt. Troberg said the undersea
craft surfaced a few hundred feet
off the Kuurtantes' bow and an
officer who spoke English with a
noticeable accent megaphoned him to
come over in boat with his papers
for inspection.

to the submarine and was taken
below. Capt. Troberg said he did
not know the nationality of the
submarine, but added that the crew
looked German to me- He was
treated courteouslv and allowed to
proceed when his papers were found
in order.

He says that, according to the
Nazi propaganda:
The new tyrant is the American

table has succeeded in Transforming
the American republic into a purely
feminine state
"She is a curious creature, the
American woman-beautiful, to be

humanity"
DR.. Padover's article says the
Nazis teach this biologically primi-

making a genuine nation of itself,
nor is the outlook for the future
