• By Percival Christopher Wren
•THE GREATEST MYSTERY STORY EVER WRITTEN
Here poverty a the Legion again
helped us„ for no man need do a
stroke more than he wishes of this
kind of work, while, he has a
halfpenny to spare.
We soon found that it was a real
and genuine kindness to let a 6)111 -
rade have a go at our leather and,
brass, our rifles and bayonets, our
dirty fatigue -suits arid underclothing;
for, to him, a job meant the means of
getting a packet of caporal cigarettes,
a bottle of wine, a postage stamp, a
change of diet, a piece of much-need-
ed soap, or a chance to replenish his
cleaning materials.
We three did not shirk our work,
by any means, but, very often, when
weary to death, or anxious to go out
of barracks, we gave our astiquage
work to one of the Many who begged
to be allowed to do it.
The recruits progressed with as-
tonishing speed, being practically all
trained soldiers before they joined,
and' picked, up th•e necessary Legion -
French remarkably rapidly.
We three very soon became good
soldiers, aided by our strength, sobri-
ety, athletic training, knowledge of
French, and a ginuine desire to make
good.
More fortunate than most, we were
well-educated and had "background";
a little money (thanksato Michael's
forethought), which was wealth in the
Legion; good habits, self-control, and
a public school training; and we
were inoffensive by reason of possess-
ing the consideration, courtesy, and
proper to gentlemen.
self-respecting respect for others,
Less fortunate than most, we were
accustomed to varied fdod, comfor-
'• table surroundings, leisure, a great
deal of mental and physical recre-
ation, spaciousness of life, and above
all, privacy.
'But at first, everything was new
and strange, remarkable and romantic,
we wer'6' Soldiers of. Fortune, we
were together, and we were by no
means unhappy. , •
• But oh, how r Ionged to see Isobel!
And gradually,, wondering thorights
as to the "Blue Water" and its where-
abouts, retired to the, back of my
mind, for the world was too nuch
with us altogether, for there to be

• Michael and Digby approved of this,
as it Opened up a line 9f communica-
tion with Brandon Abbas, but made
no change in the situation:
From what "qwe had learnt, after
discreet enquiries of % Boldini, we had
come to the conclusion that the En-
glish police would take no steps in
pursuit of the legionary, John Smith,
so long as lie remained in the Leg-
ion, even though, there were strong
reasons for suLpecting him to be
John Geste, who had disappeared at
the ' time of the jewel -robbery'.
Bilt I privately inserted a scrap of
paper on which was a message of
undying and unalterable love to my
sweith'earta This she could destroy
and the letter she could prorlace for
Aunt -Patricia's information or not,
as might seem best to her in whatev-
er circumstances arose. . .
On a Saturday night, a fortnight
later, I got a private and personal
love -letter that made me wildly hap-
py and proud as a peacock; and With
it, a long letter that I could send, to
'Michael and Digby if I wished to do
, This latter said that things were
going on at Brandon Abbas exactly
as before.
Aunt Patricia had, so far, communi-
cated neither with the police nor with
anybody else, and had Itakennio steps
whatsoever in the matter.
' Apparently she had accepted the
fact that one of the three Gestes had
stolen the "Blue Water"—and, 'extra-
ordinarily- and incredibly, she was
just doing nothing at all about it,
but simply awaiting Uncle I -lector's
return.
She had released Augustus, Claudia
and Isobel herself, frorn the prohibi-
tion as to leaviiig the house, and had
asked no •questions of any of them
since the day that I had disappeared.
On that day, she had accepted, the
solemn assurance of Augustus, Clau-
dia and Isobel, that -they knew abso-
utely nothing, as to where the Gestes
had gone, which of them was the
thief, or whether they were in league.
"I cannot understand her," she
wrote, "nor get at what she thinks or.
feels. She fully accepts, apparently,
exculpation of Gussie (and inciden-
tallY of myself at the same time) and
scorns to suspect Claudia. She

it was, I said, 'I believe that if you
