On entering the house, after Ascer- taining that Lady Marrables was out gadding an usual, Kathleen rang up Inspector Wragge at Scotland Y*rd Within half an hour he was with her, listening to her story of what had scombe Road. "A bad business," was his comment "Mr. Trickey has been very inoon- .sidcrate."

'""I' 'i''* deiinrture, alleging the need ; for hahto in seeing the local doctor before the death cerliflcate was given. Kb found Doctor Wilson to be a sandy-hailed young Scotchman, new- ly e,«tal;'lished, but with n fund of native shrewdness which Wragge was quick to appreciate. "I see," he taid. "Your inlereat In Mr. Trickey's death is that ho would have been an important witneas in a case you are worWinR on- .Siwpicitm of foul play'.' Well, I think you can too many roincidenres at the Yard to d!pbt!i«ve in them." His apf.'^urance was n fairly truthful mirror of his habit^:, inspec- tor," replied the young dvctor. "Well," Doctor W:is<m." Wragge «aid, "1 afti very much obligf;! to y</.i for saving me a wild-go<>se chase. As you have granted a eertificat? there will be no inijuejt, and, con.sequently, no interference by the police." Drav^'n by an irrosistibje impulfe, Wragge wal'iied along Lipecoinbe Road in the direction of Number 16. He knew that th:' blinds would be drawn at the house of mourning, but there was the chance that one of the in- mates might be peeping. Sure enough the blinds were all down, but as be walked quickly past he detected no sign of peeping, nor was any sound audible from within- 6» *Hfr on toward the end of the ttea«t ti\d was nearing the corner Vbni-' cab sAvung into the lyipscombe R0»J and flashed by him.

Not so quickly, however, that Wragge had failed to notice that her smart hat was adorned with a purple aigrette. From her having dismissed her cab he argued that she was going to re- main some time. He dared not risk recognition by hanging about himself so he repaired to a pnblic-house in the main thoroughfare and 'phoned head- quai-ters for an assistant. While waiting he kept observation on Num- ber 16 from the end of the street, and when his subordinate arrived he was able to assure him that the lady be had to shadow was still inside. "Find out where she lives, Peter, and report to me at the Y'ard directly you have located her," was his in- struction. "Name and address are alt I want from you. I will deal with the matter then." The young detective, whose spurs were yet to win, promised resultn. He was as good as his word. Al>out ten o'clock that night he turned up in Wragge's room at Scotland Yard with the Information that the lady of the purple aigrette lived in a flat in Vec- tis Mansions, Grosvenor Gate, and that her name was Mrs- Coning:^y. "Fine!" Wragge oonunended his junior. "Good night, Peters." But the young detective lingered a moment. "I hope I did right, sir, in bringing this along," he said nervous- ly, laying a book on. the desk. "She dropped it aa she entered the block <xf flats. I reckoned that it oould be re- turned to her anonymously through the post If you had no use for it." Wragge took up the volume and his eyes snapped like stars. "No error there," he s&id quietly.

Further examination showed that It covered the period of Trickey'.s mission to America disclosed by him to Kathlc-en Clcnlstcr and repeatetl by her to Wragge him.self. X still closer scrutiny showed that six months aftcrwardi?, but in the same year, Trickey had paid a second visit to the Montana mining camp, also at the instance of his employer, Dudley Clenister. It was this second journey to the west that nearly drew the inspector's eyes out of his head as he perused it. The peruaal did not take long. Mr. Simon Trickey had no literary style, confining hi.i entries to mere scrappy information, but pieced together it gave a lurid record of what he had been up to in \mw Wolf City on be- halTof the prisent baronet.
