Tab called in the ordinary way of luty and they discussed the latest tragedy, but never once did Inspec- tor Carver make reference to his vis- itGr of the morning. That was his 5ecret, and too precious a one, in the -ircumstances, to breathe to a Roul. He droive that afternoon, to the de- -entictn prison where Walters was waiting trial and had, a long talk with I'M I Yeh Ling was in his parlour, half Aray through his long weekly letter ;* -his son, when Inspector Carver was innounced. He put down, his brush md, gazed impassively upon the serv- int who had brought in the Inspec- ;or's card.. 'Ills ,this man alone?" he asked. "Yes, Yeh Ling. There is no one vith him." - ' Yeh Ling tapped his white teeth vith his well -manicured- nails. "Com�-," he staid laconically, and here was something inCarver's face --rhich told Yell Ling all that he wan't- . A to know. But there was a fight 10 be made. yet, and he was nor with- ,ut hope that this matter of -the Prasmere murder, and the tragedy bat baO followed, would be settled- in t manner more consonant with his :e,,,n sensce of obligation. The Inspector did not come to the loint at once. He accepted a cigar bat the Chinaman offered to him, p,lke jocularly of Yell Ling's leftter- ,-riting, askeG a question or two a - :out Ursnla Ardfern, and �at last Jpted at the- object of 'his visit. "Yeh Ling." he, said, "I think the �rasmere case is coming to a s:olu- ion." I . Yeh Ling's eyelids, did not go much is flicker. "In fact," said the Inspector, care- lully examining the ash of his cigar, 'I 'have found the murderer." Yeh Ling said nothing. . "I need very little confirmatory evi- lence to put,the man who killed Jesse ['rasmere -on the trap," Carver went in. "And, you have, Come to me to furn. sh that evidence," said Yeh Ling, vith a to,u.ch of irony. -Carver sho,ok his head and- smiled. "I don't know . . . I didn't think rou would," he said, and then almost ;harply: "Where are. the documents 7ou took from the Trasmere house the light you went there With Miss Ard- *ern? " The Chinaman got up without hesi- ,ation, unlocked a small safe in ,the !orner of the rooln. and brought -out i thick packet of papers. "They -are all .tbeTe9" asked Car- �rer, shooting a suspicious glance at -he other. -All except two," was the co,ol re- �Iy; "one of which has reference, to rny interest in the Golden Roof and � ,hat is with my lawyer-" "And the other" asked, the detec. bive. "That deals with matters of a sac- red nature," said.Yeh Ling, in that precise English that sounded alm,o,gt affected. Carver bit his lip. "You know that this is the docu- ment I particularly want?" he asked. 111 guessed that," was the reply, "Nevertheless, MT. Carver I canno� give it to you ; and if you know so much"L-for a second a ghost of a smile lit his brown eyes --"then you will also know why it is not forth- coming." ,?m "Does Miss Ardfern kn,o-w . � Yeh Ling sho,ok 'his bead ' -She is the one ,person who must "not know," 'he said emphatically. "'If it were -not for heT"he shrugged his shoulders, "rou might see it." Carver knew that he was opPoSed by a rwill grreater than his own, and that -neither threlats nor promises would move this il,np,a,,;,,,,ive man from the attitude -be 'had, taken. up. ,'Wbat does it matter wbether v,ou see thi% paper or not?'t asoked Yeh Ling. "You say you know the mur- d,erer, that you have sufficient Pivi- dence to ,pllt him on the trap -but have you?" Ris look was a challent "You cannot convict a man on suip- position, Mr. Carver.
