On the afternoon of his disappearâ€" ance a note had arrived for his private secrotary Bellair Broome, sayin» that he had decided to "cut adrift for a few days." Broome is suspicious of this sudden departure from the millionaire‘s habâ€" its, and visits the Assistant Commisâ€" sicner, over the heads of the local polâ€" ice. Major Mosson is sent down to inâ€" vestigate in an unofficial capacity. Mosson obtains a clue from the postâ€" mark on the letter. Another clue is in the orchid eultivationm of <theseâ€" rare ficwers, and a new specimen is found on the floor of the greenhouse, having apparently bsen torn from its hook. Wade‘s nearest relative, is a niece, Felicite Delbos (Wade‘s sister married a Frenrhman}. Felicite is engaged to Wade‘s nearest relative, is a niece, Felicite Delbos (Wade‘s sister married a Frenchman). Felicite is engaged to Broome. A second letter arrives from Sir Timâ€" othy.

Even though Broome was wellâ€"known at the bank it would obviously not be a simple matter to draw the money withâ€" out satisfactory confirmation of which the initialled message could hardly be considered enough.
