been through the little woods, where
every important tree had been dug
round, and had gazed sadly on the
pitted surface of the once smooth
lawn. They had been up to the attic,
where old trunks and chests had been
rifled of their contents. They had been
down to the cellars. where fagstones
had been heaved unwillingly from
their sockets. They had measured and
tapped walls, and Miss MARBLE had
been shown every antique piece of
furniture that contained or could be
suspected of containing secret
drawer.
On, a table in the morning room
there was a heap of papers - all the
papers that the late Mathew Stroud
had left. Not one had been destroyed,
and Chairman and Edward we're wont
to return to them again and again,
earnestly perusing bills, invitations
and business correspondence in the
hope of spotting a hitherto unnoticed
clue.
Can you think of anywhere we
haven't looked?" demanded Char
mian hopefully.
Miss MARBLE shook her head. "You
seem to have been very thorough, my
dear. Perhaps. if ! may say SO. just
a little too thorough. always think.
you know. that one should have
plan. It's like my friend, Mrs. Eldritch;
she had such a nice little maid, pol
ished linoleum beautifully, but she
was so thorough that she polished the
bathroom floors too much, and as Mrs.
Eldritch was stepping out of the bath
the cork mat slipped from under her
and she had very nasty fall and ac-
tually broke her leg! Most awkward,
because the bathroom door was
locked, of course, and the gardener
had to get a ladder and come in
through the window - terribly dis
tressing to Mrs. Eldritch, who had
always been a very modest woman,
you know"
Edward moved restlessly.
Miss MARBLE said quickly: PLEASE
forgive me. So apt, know, to fly off
at a tangent. But one thing does re-
mind one of another. And sometimes
that is helpful. All was trying to say
was that perhaps if we tried to sharpen
our wits and think of likely place"
Edward said Grossly: "You think

She sat down by the table and
methodically worked through the
sheaf of documents. As she replaced
each one, she sorted them automatic
ally into tidy little heaps. When she
had finished she sat staring in front
of her for some minutes.
