only the two maids in the house last

rest of you, suspicion points most

night before, 'and to you, Ethel, who

angrily, "How dare you make such a

The cook wasan acquisitionof a-
bout six months. I suppose that it
really is impossible for the mere male
to appreciate the value, of a good
servant, and to understand how eas-
ily the mistress of a house may be
willing to allow efficiency to pardon
defects in appearance and manner,
but I felt that, for myself, I would
sooner live on perpetual bread and
cheese than suffer the Haaions' cook.
Ether had told me more than one
story of her selfish unreasenableness,
but had added that she .was a good
cook, and that they preferred to put
up with her, rather than risk a month
or two of cooking and washing up
with possibly something *more disas-
',roes still at the end of it.
She came back with Annie, stand-
ing just inside the door with her arms
folded and her beady black eyes
darting from ona of us to the other,
as she took in the scene. Her face
was unhealthily pastry and her.small
shapeless nose •tilted upwards from
a mouth that seemed, ever to he pos-7
KJ in a disagreeable smirk.
• The Tundish explained that Miss
Palfreeman had been found dead in
her bed, and that, as there was, some
uncertainty as to the rees'on, for her
• death, it would be necessary for him
to call in the police, and. for an in-
quest to ,beheld. '
Cook, who had been christened with
the inappeoprietcname of Grace, was
all -alarm and anger in a moment.
"What! The police in these 'ere
house," she said, "and the master
and mistress awae as well! Nht if

character to cook, I did, and if I am
to be questioned by they police I'd

your leave; Miss Ethel," and she gave
her head a nasty little shake and
stood with her arms folded and a
smirk on her pale unwholesome face,
as she waited for the doctor and Ethel
to unite in begging her to stay.
But she hadn't bargained for The
Modish. "Very- well then, Grace,
you had better go and'pack up your
belongings at once, for the police' will
be here in less than half' an hour. I
warn you, however, that your action
will arouse their suspicions, and that
they will take you to the police sta-
tion 'and ask you any. questions they
may want to in :public, instead of
quietly here in private. You ca.n go:
And you, Annie?" he added, turning
to the younger woman.
"Oh, I shall stay, sir."

I heard Margaret say that She
wouldgoto the basement and fetch
something or other for Ethel, and she
passed close !behind nee just as the
exchange were putting me through
to a wrong number. I had -to shout
and I was some Wile aiefere I could
persuade whoever it was I 'was speak-
ing to to hang up their receiver. The
girl at the exchange seemed' to pay
no attention to my repeated attempts
to attraot her attention, then just as
I did get the number I wanted at
last, I fancied that I could hear some
one coming softly . down the stairs
behind my back, but my attention
being all for my message I did not
turn round to see who it was. For-
tunately I got through to the station
superintendent himself without any
further delay. I told him briefly how
one of the„decter's guests had been
found dead in bed, and that Doctor
Wallace, the locum in charge of the
practice, had asked he to ring him
up and tell him that he strong sus-
pected poison. Would he please send
some one round at Once along ..with
Dr. Jeffries. the police surgeon, if he
was available.' H preniised me thatt
they would both be round in less than
a quarter of an hour.
• I put down the instrument with a
sigh of relief. A step, however small,
I felt, had been, taken towards knowl-
edge and away from uncertainty. and
indecision.
turned round to find The Tundish
standing close behind me in the hall.
I was surprised, because my hearing
is so acute that I am not often tak-
en unawares. I wondered how long
he had been standing there quietly
behind nie. He explained _that he had
come back to ask me to make quite
sure that in his absence no one went
up to Stella's'room before the police
were on the scene. He ought to have
locked the door, but hacl forgotten.
I promise d him that I would see to
it, and he went back again down the
passage to the consulting room and
the way out into Dalehouse Lane, his
patient apparently living in that di-
rection.
Margaret came up the stairs- from
the basement, carrying a tray, as we
concluded our brief Conversation, and
I steppe d forward to take it from her.
Somehow or other I felt every bit as
sorry for her as I did for Ethel. She
was so soft and feminine and there
had been such a note of horror in
that one shrill cry of hers when The
Tundish had told us so calmly that
Stella was dead, and now that she
had recovered from her first alarm
she seemed all concern for Ethel, her
blue eyes shining.. brightly, her deep
breast rising and falling and her
hands fluttering against mine as we
stood with the tray between us.
"Row splendid he is," she whisper-
ed, looking back at The Tundish as
he disappeared through the baize
door at the end of the passage. "How
awful when they arrest him, and what
will poor Miss Summerson do?"
'1Mise Summersent" echoed In
surprise, but she gave me no explan-
ation -just shook her pretty golden
head and turned into the dining -room
to rejoin the others.
We found Kenneth standing awk-
wardly in front of Ethel. She had
been very brave and was recovering
again from ber little collapse. Mar-
garet sat down at her side, and made
her drink and did her best to comfort
her. "It may be a mistake about the
Chinese poison, dear," she said car-
essingly, "doctors do' make mistakes,
you know."
I remembered the doctor's word,
however, and how he hadedeseribed a
death like a peaceful slumber - a
slumiber rendered horrible by staring
,hluodshot eyes and narrow contracted
pupils. There could be no mistaking
such a death, I thought.
The front door ,beli rang from the
outer gate in the garden wall, and
we could hear the tread of feet along
the garden path. Annie came up to
open the door We were face to face
with the situation at last.
.
The three men who were shown in-
to the room were of strikingly dif-
ferent types. The foremost, Inspec-
tor Brown, introduced the other two
to us with a wave of his hand. With
his flat-topped peaked hat, his dark
blue uniform braided with black, and
his ruddy, healthy; none too intelli-
gent face, I thought him typical of
that section of the police who have

He spoke briskly, however, and to the
paint.
"Doctor Jeffries you know alread-y,
I think, Miss, Hanson," pointing to a
thin elderly gray-haired man? But 1
have been fortunate in bringing with
me 'Detective Inspector Allport of
Scotland Yard, who happens to be in
Merchester, and was, as a matter of
fact, with mein my room when your
message came through."'
Now we must all of us have paint-
ed some sort of a mental picture of
the detective of fiction, even if we
have never seen the real living art-
icle in flesh and blood, but I am not
willing to imagine that Detective In-
epector Allport of Scotland Yard
could hold a place in anybody's men-
tal picture. Without exaggeration he
was the ugliest little man I have ev-
er set eyes on, and yet, scanning him
feature by feature, I was only aston-
ished that the tout-ense'reble was not
even more grotesque. Little and un-
dersized, 1ii pale watery eyes budged
after the manner of those of a great
many- extraordinary clever people. His
forehead was broadbut sloping, and
if his skin had not been of such a
visibly coarse unhealthy looking tex-
ture, this would have been his one
redeeming feature. His nose was bulb-
ous, his mouth slopped all over the
place, and his little chin was bunched
up into a kind of Irregular' promin-
ence which was rendered interesting
15y reason of an unbelievably regular
circular dimple in the middle. I gaz-
ed on him, fascinated, and thought
af Once that for a man so handicap-
ped tobe anything higher in the so-
cial scale than a lavatory attendant,
must argue a character and mental
equipment. to, be reckoned with, and
I very soon found out that if per-
haps I was inclined to exaggerate his
apparent deficiencies and 'defects, I
altogether under -estimated his brain
power and those hidden; qualities that
compel attention and respect.
He took charge of the situation at
once, speaking rapidly in a voice of
markedly pleasant tone.,
"Poctor Wallace, I presume?" he
said, turning to me. •
explained the circumstances of
The Tundish's enforced absence, and
how we had hail unable to wire to
Stella's uncle. Ethel gave him the
uncle's address.
"I will look after that -as you
suggest, there may probably he in-
formation is to .1Vir. Crawford's pres-
ent whereabouts among the unfortun-
ate young lady's papers. If not -they
will soon find it for me in London.
You can leave it to me and need not
bother further. But the doctor! It is
very unfortunate that he has been
called away, but I suppose that he
will be back before long. He has no
doubt left a note of the address to
which he has gone?"
I had to confess that I didn't think
he had, and Ethel, on being question-
ed, °geld only state that $3'0 far as
she eibuld gather from what she had
heard of his conversation on the tele-
phOne, it might be ene ey three,.
He pulled down a corner of his
funny little moustache and stood bit-
ing at it, obviously annoyed. "Strange
-very strange,. that he should have
left the house," he muttered angrily.
"However, doctor, you had better ex-
amine the unfortunate young lady
yourself in the' m.eantime. Perhaps
Miss Hanson will be kind enough to
show us up to her room. The root of
you will kindly oblige me by not leav-
ing this room until my return. Please
call up the servants and keep them
here as well."
He asked Ethel if the morn had
been locked up and everything in it
untouched. and I explained what The
Tundish had told me about how he
had left the door unfastened and the
instructions he had given me.
The ,little gargoyle frowned his dis-
approval, turned on his heel and left
the room, Ethel. Dr. Jeffries and the
inspector following. I rang the bell.
for Annie and cook. •
"Little swipe," was Kenneth's com-
ment. and I think we all of us felt
that we could endorse it. The maids
came up at once, Grace clad in her
outdoor clothessitting down osten-
tatiously tea the edge of a chair with
the feather in her atrocious hat nod-
ding her disapproval and independ-
ence. Her whole attitude showed that
she considered her term of service to
be at an end, and that, far frcee tak-
ing the doctor's advice, another min-
ute would have seen her out of the
house. I saw- .Ethel give a wry little
smile. Annie stood respectfully
against the wall.
Grace--iGod save the mark! -and
Annie had barely settled dawn when
we heard footsteps on the stairs. I
imagined that it would be.AllpOrt and
Brown returning with Ethel to ask
us the questions we all expected to
have to answer, but to my surprise
Dr. Jeffries came in with them as
well.
Aliport came in first, rudely step-
ping straight in front of Ethel, and
his bulging eyes seemed more prom-
inent than ever as he asked me an-
grily, "Where is the key? You told
me Dr. Wallace said that the door
of the room was unlocked."
