Then there was a sudden influx of
the remaining guests. Alice, the
elder daughter of the house, come
" woman of early middle age, mar

ter and rising member of parliament,
first made her appearance. Her hus-
band followed with the Dean. The To-
cal doctor a good sportsman but of the
rougher type, brought up the rear
During the few minutes general con-
versation, Matresser found opportun-
ity to carry his cocktail over to where
the doctor was standing on the out
side of a little circle.
TELL me about the fellow who was
picked up in the field of turnips," he
begged, after they had shaken hands
whats wrong with him? Who is
he and how did he come to be wander
ing about there on foot? I didn't
know that you were dining tonight,
so I told Humphreys to call round
and bring you up after dinner if you
could manage it."
"I can soon tell you all l know,
the doctor replied. "What he is suf-
fering from is slight conclusion and
apprehension I had to pump adre-
nalin into him before could get him
to humble even a word. I left him
asleep. He should be able to talk all
right by the time 1 get back
"Is he English"
II really cannot tell you thing
about him." Andrews admitted frank
ly. eve didn't go through his peck
cts, naturally when we took his cloth
es off. It didn't seem necessary SO

person, Mademoiselle, whom one cas-
lily forgets. Apart from that, those
were stirring moments. l have heard
it said that but for your uncle's in
PREVENTION at that time all Morocco
would have been in blaze"
"It is curious that you should say
that" she murmured.
"Why?"
Because I heard another story"
"And that was? ?"
"That if a certain Englishman had
not taken very daring risk and pres
ented an ultimatum from his country
to that mailman who had suddenly
collected about hundred thousand
tribesmen the work of twenty-five
years would have been swept away
in one whirlwind campaign and heav-
en- knows how many lives lost. My
uncle was there as neutral. He had
no definite authority behind him or
if he had, diplomacy forbade his using
it. He is not one who takes risks"
"Those days are past" Matresse1
replied, 'but it is queer to meet you
again, Mademoiselle."
"Why?"
Because then the world was more
or less in peril. Today one hears,
am no politician-one understands
that there are even greater dangers
still threatening"

which there is no right of way or
anything of that sort, wearing patent
leather shoes, I must confess that I
feel inquisitive."
The doctor refused to take the mat
ter seriously.

ing" he said, "that it is a case of
temporary lapse of memory or some
thing of that Sort"
"Well don't let him go in the morn
ing until you have communicated with
me. I shall exercise my privileges as
a magistrate in any case"
II think you are quite right the
doctor agreed. 81 certainly won't let
him go. In any case you have the
right to help yourself to his name and
address. You are looking wonderfully
fit, Matresser. irresponsible travel
seems to agree with you."
Matresser smiled. There was some
thing so boyish about that smile that
it might almost have been called a
grin. It was followed by few Sec
onds of gravity.
Matresser laid down The Times and
rose to his feet as Mademoiselle SIAM
fer came a little doubtfully into the
small reception room.
81 am afraid Mademoiselle," he said
"that you see your doom. The Dean
and his wife have engaged in a des-
perate struggle of bridge with my
sister and brother-in-law and AIMS

be nightly affair. It is clearly your
duty to come and talk to me-"
She moved smilingly towards the
divan where he had been seated.

fided, 81 came to see whether I was
wanted. I drove my little car into
Norwich this afternoon and the vino
coming back, well, you know what il
was for yourself"
"You have a headache?"
She nodded but nevertheless shs
sank into the divan and surrounded
herself with cushions.
