And with that Simon Dale turned away, leaving Hallett to face his first auciion as a professional. Most of the collections and miscelâ€" laneous lots went for prices higher than those at which Simon Dale had valued them, but when the lots conâ€" taining the better stamps came along it was a different matter. Hallett watched the coge carefully otherwise he mightâ€"in the phrase 0j the auction roomâ€"have cut his fingers Curious glances came his way, for, although Hallett was not aware of it, the representative of Simon Dale in a stamp auction was a person of importâ€" ance. Out of the one hundred and ninety lots offered, thirtyâ€"two were knocked down to Simon Dale, and by the end of the sale Hallett had spent nearly five hundred pounds. He had carefully noted the prices he had paid and at the end of the sale made his way back to Regent Square. Several people were in the shop and he went at once to Simon Dale‘s office, "Good!" said the stamp dealer as he glanced through the catalogue.

He had attended several sales and his accurate. comâ€" petent work evidently pleased Simon Dale. One important customerâ€"a speâ€" cialist in South Australian stampsâ€"was brought into his office by Mr. Dale: "Mr. Hallett will look after you," he said. The customer spent two hours going through the South Australian stock books, but his bill at the end of it was over a hundred pounds. BACK IN MOSSFORD On the Friday morning, on his way to the office, Hallett had a bit of luck. He passed a little junk shop in Percy Street the window of which was apparently filled with rubbish. Among a pile of books, however, he noticed a small buffâ€"coloured Lallier album and bought it from the junk dealer for the price he was askedâ€"a shillinge. "I remember the catalogue. T shall soon drop into the watermarks and perâ€" forations again." "Good! Then go ahead." The work was simple. It had been made out by one of the girls in an adâ€" joining office and Ferguson found very few mistakes. Simon Dale looked in a little after six. "Well?" he said from the doorway. "One or two slips. Very few." ‘‘Um .. . usually she doesn‘t make "Evening, Hallett," the Superintendâ€" ent greeted him. "I had a note about you from Inspector Garrod, in Mossford. How are you getting on?" He glanced at it as he strolled along. It was a stuckâ€"down collection and he already knew enough about the value of the ware in which he worked to apâ€" preciate that he had a find. There were no exceptional rareties in the album, but it contained, amidst a lot of damaged copies, a few good speciâ€" men.. ‘"You‘ll do," said Simon Dale. On the Saturday afternoon Hallett moved from Percy Street to a room in a house in a quiet Kensington Square. In the evening he called at the police station to notify his change of address, for he was still on ticket of leave. The station sergeant was a decent felâ€" low and genuinely pleased at Hallett‘s change of fortune. "Superintendent Bryce wants to see you," he said. "He‘s in now." to take him on?" "Yes."‘ "Good. T‘ll do the Fleet Street sale. I dislike my Lord of Beccles. But he‘s a good customer. Handle him gently." Simon Dale returned in the late afterâ€" noon. ‘"How did you get on?" he asked. "Fine., I liked him very much. Sold him quite a lot of early Granada as S~PIine. him quite well.," "Thank you very much all the same. By the way, Superintendent, have you heard about the Murray emeralds?" "Of course. I‘ve heard about Bayâ€" ley‘s confession, too." "In a way I was mixed up with it." He told the Superintendent the story of the burglary and his recent experiâ€" ences in Mossiord. *"Curiously enough, I saw him last Sunday in Richmond," he concluded. "I‘ve had some luck. I‘ve got a really good job. From a man I used to know slightly." f "He knows aboult . ..er .>. .‘ ‘"Yes," said Hallett. "Good. That makes what I was goâ€" ing to suggest unnecessary. I was goâ€" ing to send you to a friend of mine who would probably have put some kind of job in your way." "Teddy Wilson. Sternberg," the Supâ€" erintendent mused. "Thank you. T‘ll get into touch with a friend of mine at the Yard who has the matter in hand. He may be interested. If I can help you,. Hallett, let me know, won‘t you."
