sat in his room at Ine Yara numming a gay tune. He had just returned from a conference with the Assistant Comâ€" missioner and that gentleman had exâ€" pressed regret that he had ever doubted the Superintendent‘s word. He appreâ€" ciated now that I final report on the Nikolas Nolescue h killing; appreciat Ssuperintendent‘s theory had been m all, which just goe:s told his sub detection f{o after all. Of course Beck, there done, Sen ° by the Tonb thrown a co he had wi search for | directed tow of the Five gret that he tempered sc that, so far, it either, He had proved, too, that he himself, while the mainspring behind the Tong organization, had had no hand in the murder of Nolescue. He had confessed that Wu Ti, one of his minions, had been guilty of that crime. As Sen Yat Soh expressed himself, Wu Ti was a blunderer. He admitted that Wu Ti was acting under his instrucâ€" tions, but. Wu .Ti would never. be brought to the bar of English justice. During the raid on The Beeches the Chinese killer, realizing that the game was up, had obligingly jumped from the roof in his terror and they found his body on the gravel at the rear of the house. Ling Foo, too, was dead, but the Home Office had decided that his death had been what might be legally termed an accident and Philip Slater was likely to be exonerated at the Corâ€" cner‘s inquiry at Tonbridge. The police certainly would offer no evidence against him. But what the Home Ofâ€" fice did propose to do was to arraign Sen Yat Soh before a magistrates on a charge of abduction and also with being an undesirable alien, so that after servâ€" ing whatever sentence the courts might impose upon him he would be forthwith deported. The Home Secretary had made a few caustic comments anent But there was a further point that still intrigued the Superintendent‘s mind and that was the secret of the silk. If the theory that had been evolved by Professor Karmen and himâ€" selfâ€"that the Suchow silk weaver had actually committed his secret of the whereabouts of the famous jewel to the silk he had been weavingâ€"was an aCâ€" curate one, he felt that only the disâ€" covery of that silk could vindicate him no matter how pleasant the Assistant Commissioner had been. So far every inch of silk in the possession of Oxtons had been subjected to the closest scrutiny by Professor Karmen and his friend Professor Kan Fu, as also had been the stclen rolls found at The Beeches. None of the silk disclosed any marks cther than the regulation ones, Both the professors had been disapâ€" pointed at this result and yet both were confident that that particular roll o Suchow silk hadâ€" been purchased by Peter Oxton‘s buyers. _ To Beck the puzzle was a bewilderâ€" ng mi aay in the Oxton hin SCot been that A CC he ha fairne preser tons, the a look as were bun Oxton‘s ; A numbe had been coffee, wi those wh 1¢s 1 1izht sanawicnes Ime Beck found in addition to Oxton Phyllis Varley and Slater, that Profes sor Karmen and his friend Professo Kan Fu were also installed. ind 1¢€ sen Ya Tonbric fotr ssed that Wu Ti, one of hi: i1ad been guilty of that crime at Soh expressed himself, W1 blunderer.
