THE STOL
BEGIN HERE TO -DAY.
A novelist, seeking nocturnal ad-
O'enture, offers to give a girl a lift
n a taxi. They go from Paddington
Recreation Ground to a poor part of
London. The girl informs him that
her sister is sick in a . hospital and
that she is on her way to fetch her
Sister's baby from her sister's home.
The .seeker of adventure takes the girl
and the baby to Elgin Avenue, and,
as the girl alights, he notices a coat-
ef-arms worked on the baby's coat.
Slow at following the girl he loses
track of her. He returns to the place
where the girl went for the baby and.
finds it a rear entrance to a nursing
home. He tells the matron that a
baby has been kidnapped.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
"Kidnapped!" repeated the black
silk colossus in a tone of horror. r`Un-
thinkable !"
"But I'm afraid it's happened."
"Unthinkable! You are evidently
unaware of our system. None of our
night nurses may for one moment
leave the lady mother and her infant.
Every infant is registered. At birth
' the infant is attributed a reference
card with counterfoil. No person may
remove the infant without producing
the counterfoil."
I jumped up, furious: "I can assure
you that my little friend Rhodadidn't
wait to hand in the counterfoil. I tell
you, she's got one of your babies. She
wasn't the sort of girl to he entitled
to a baby with a coronet on its
"Alil Oh! A coronet."
"Yes. Haven't you- got a lady of
title in the home?"
The night matron raised her eye-
brows. "We have, I think, three pa-
tients who are not a title."
"Well, anyhow, there- was a cor-
onet."
"Now you mention it," said the ma-
tron, "this is an interesting fact. Do
fou happen to remember the coronet?"
"Well, yes. There was more than
a coronet, there was -a coat of arms.
Of course, I didn't see it properly in
the hurry, but on one side there were
thrum castles,"
The night matron jumped up, quiv-
ering like an extensive jelly. Her
usually purple countenance assumed a
dirty brown tint, which was her way
of growing pale. "Three castles !"..she
murmured, and tottered out of her
chair toward the bookcase, from which
she drew Debrett. Her sausage -like
;lingers trembled; she found the page
she wanted, and reeled back against a
cupboard of which the doors creaked:
"It's impossible ..." she was gasping
"The Duchess . . oh, nonsense."
She grew calmer. "Look here, don't
you remember the rest? Wasn't there
also, in the upper corner, three Iions?"
"Well, now you mention it, there
was something like three crouching
cats."
The night matron sat down with a
crash, Then, in a whisper, she said:
