CLUE OF THE,
NEW PIN
By EDGAR WALLACE
(Continued from last week
"Yes, perhaps it was in China,'
said the other, and of a sudden be-
came friendly, gripped Wellington
Brown's arm., and leaving the path
led, him across the green spaces of
the park.
A courting couple sitting under one
of the trees saw. them pass, and heard
Wellington Brown say:
"Don't say that 1 ,was his store-
keeper, because I wasn't, or his serv-
ant! I was his equal, by gad. A
partner in the firm, the ,blamed old
swindler. . "
So ,they passed, the Man in Black
and the besotted pensioner from
China.
At this hour another person deeply
interested in Jesse Trasmere's fate
was making his final preparations for
departure.
He had ventured forth in broad day-
light, .braved the glances of the purser
of the Arak, and had signed on as
steward of the second saloon on a
voyage to South Africa. The end of
the long nightmare had come. Wal-
ters had to join his ship overnight,
an excellent arrangement from his
point of view, since it reduced the
danger of detection to a minimum.
He carried with him to the big
roomy docks a respected sum of
money, the proceeds of his pilfering
at Mayfield, and his opportunities had
been many, remembering Mr. Tras-
mere's parsimony.
He had sent his bag off to the ship
in the afternoon and he had only to
convey himself to the docks. He went
on foot, keeping to the less frequent-
ed streets, and although this entailed
a longer journey he was taking no
risks. A month ago he would have
trembled at every shadow, and the
sight of a policeman would have par-
alyzed his 'activities, but now the case
had been forgotten; one never read a
line about it in even the more sensa-
tional newspapers, and it was with
some confidence that he traversed the
wharf and mounted the gangway lead-
ing to the ill -lighted decks of the
liner.
"Report to the chief steward," said
the custodian on duty at the ship end
of the plank, and Walters inquired his
way forward, went down the broad
companion to the broader deck where
the chief steward's office is situated,
and joined a dozen other men who
were lined up in queues waiting to
report.
Walters would not have worried if
the waiting had occupied the rest of
the evening, but in a remarkably
short space of time he stepped into
the chief steward's cabin, knuckled
his forehead, and said:
"Reporting for duty, sir. John Wil-
liams, steward-" and then he stop -
Pad.
On the farther side of the steward's
table was Inspector Carver.
Walters turned in a flash, but the
doorway was blocked by a detective.
"All right," he said despondently
as they snapped, the steel handcuffs
on his wrist, "but I didn't do it, Mr.
Carver. I know nothing about the
murder. I am as innocent as a babe
unborn."
"What I like about you," said Car-
ver unpleasantly, "is your original-
ity."
He followed behind the two men
who held the arms of their manacled
prisoner, and Tab joined him. As they
came off the ship Tab asked:
"Well, do you honestly think you
have him, Carver?"
"Who -Walters? That's the man all
right. I know him very well indeed."
"I mean the murderer," said Tab.
"Oh, the murderer. No, I don't
think that this is the gentleman, but
he will have some difficulty in proving
he isn't. You can say that he's ar-
rested, Tab, But I would rather you
didn't say that I charged him with
the murder, because I shan't until I
have much more information in my
possession than I have at present.
Perhaps if you come round to the
station after you have been to the of-
fice, I will be able to tell you a little
more, especially if Walters makes a
statement, as I think he will."
In this the detective was right, for
Mr. Walters lost no time in putting
his defence on record.
The Statement of Walter Felling
"My name is Walter John Felling
I have sometimes assumed the name
of Walters, sometimes MiacOarty. I
have served three terms of imprison-
ment for theft and impersonation, and
in July, 1913, •I was sent to prison for,
five years at Newcastle. I was re-
leased from prison in 1917 and serv-
ed ip the army as cook until 1919. On
leaving the army I heard from a
nose* that Mr. Trasmere was in want
of a valet, and knowing that he was
a very rich man and very mean, I
applied for the job, producing false
references, which were made out by
a man named Coleby, who does that
kind of job. When Mr. Trasmere
asked me what salary I wanted I pur-
posely said a sum which I knew was
below the rate usually paid, and he
engaged • me .on the spot.. I' .do not
thing he wrote for my references. If
he had Coleby would have replied.
,:'[*!"dose": informer. Either one
whiebetrays or who supplies informa-
tion to criminals.]
"There were two other servants at
Mayfield when I went there, a Mr. and
Mrs. Green. Mr. Green was an Aus-
tralian, but I think 'Mrs. Green was
born in Canada. He acted as butler
to Mr. Trasmere, but he did not ,have
a very happy time. He did not like
Mr. Trasmere, I think. Certainly Mr.
Trasmere did not like him. My ob-
ject in securing employment with M'r.
Trasmere was to find an opportunity
for getting away with a good haul. I
knew from the first it was going to
be very difficult, because of the pe-
culiar habits of the house, but I man-
aged to get a few things together -a
gold watch and two silver candlesticks
-and was thinking of making a get-
away when Mr. Trasmere detected
Green giving food away to Mrs.
Green's brother-in-law, and fired them
on the spot. Then he discovered the
loss of the gold watch and had their
boxes searched. I felt very sorry for
Green, but of course I could say noth-
ing.
"After the Greens had left I had to
do the work of valet and butler, too.
I very soon discovered that all the
'valuables in the house were kept in a
room in the cellar. I have never been
into that room, but I know it is some-
where in the passage which leads
from Mr. Trasmere's study, because I
have seen the door opened and by
bending down, have been able to look
along the corridor.
"I hoped that some day or other I
should be able to make a more care-
ful inspection of the place, but that
opportunity never came, although it
seemed that I was going to have a
chance a week or two before Mr.
Trasmere's death. I managed to get
the key from his neck whilst he was
in a kind sof fit and take an impres-
sion, but the fit did not last very long
and I had hardly got the key back be-
fore the old gentleman recovered. It
was a lucky thing for me that I had
wiped the soap from the key on my
sleeve, for the first thing he felt for
was the chain round his neck. How-
ever, I had quite enough to work on,
and I started in to make a key that
would fit the impression. That is as
much as I can tell you about the vault
which I never saw.
I went to bed every night at ten
o'clock, and Mr. Trasmere used to
lock the door which shut me off from
the rest of the house, so that it was
impossible for me to see what was
going on at night. t1 complained to
him, and he had a key put in. a `glass
box in my room so that in case of
emergency I could smash the glass,
and, with the aid of the key, unlock
the door that separated me from the
rest of the house. He didn't even
agree to this until he was taken ill
one night and I was unable to go to
his assistance.
"To open the door which locked me
in was one thing, to open the little
glass cupboard and take out the key
was, however, a simpler matter. I
used that key several times. The first
time I used it I heard voices in the
dining -room downstairs, and wonder-
ed who it was calling at that late
hour. I hadn't the courage to go
down and see for fear I should be de-
tected, for there was a light in the
hall. 'But another night, hearing a
woman's voice, I went down, the lights
being out, and saw a young lady sit.

She was the pretest young lady

was sure that 1 had seen her before
I did not recognize her until 1 saw
her photograph in an' illustrated pa-
per and then it seemed to me to b
impossible that it emeld be Miss Ursu-
la Ardfern, the well known actress. I
came down again the next night, and
this time .they were talking together
and Mr. Trasmere called her 'Ursula,'
and I knew I was'rigbt,, She used to
come from the theatre every night,
and sometimes he would keep her
there as late as two o'clock.
'One evening, soon after she came,
I crept downstairs and, in my stock-
inged feet, listened to them. I heard
hire. say very sharply: 'Ursula, where
is the pin?' The young lady answer-
ed, 'It is there, somewhere'; and then.
I heard him grumbling and grunting,
and presently he said, 'Yes,' here it
i$.''
"There was much more to be pick-
ed up in the house than I had imag-
ined." (Here Walters enumerated
minutely, and as far as can be.ascer-
tained exactly, the number and na-
ture of the valuables which he suc-
ceeded in acquiring.) "When Mr.
Trasmere was alone he used to sit at
the table with a little porcelain dish
in front of him and a brush. I don't
know what he was painting, I never
saw any of his pictures. I only know
that he did this, {because I managed
to peep at him on several nights. and
saw him at work. He did not use a
canvas; he always painted on paper,
and he always used black ink. The
paper must have been very thin, be-
cause once the window was slightly
open and a sheet blew away.
"I managed to see him, because
there was a glass fanlight over the
door which I used to keep clean, and
from the head of the stairs you could
look into the room, and if he happen-
ed to be sitting in a certain place it
was easy to see him.
"On the morning I left the house I
was engaged in working at the key
I was making, and I could do this
without any'danger, 'because r
M.
g ,
Trasmere never came into my room,
the door of which I kept locked in
case of accidents. I served lunch to
my master, and he talked to me about
Brown, the man I had turned away
from the door. He told me that I
had done quite right and that Brown
was wanted by the police in this
country, and he wondered why he had
taken the risk of coming back. He
told me that Brown was an opium
taker and a drunkard, and that he
was a worthless fellow. After lunch
he cleared out of the room and I knew
that he was going down to his vault,
which he usually did on Saturday af-
ternoons.
""At about ten minutes to three I
was in my room working at the key,
and had just brought a cup of coffee
from the kitchen when the front door
bell rang and I answered it. There
was a messenger boy with a telegram
and it was addressed to me.. I had
never before received telegrams at
the house and I was surprised. On
opening it I read a message remind-
ing me that I had been convicted at
Newcastle eight years before and tell-
ing me that the police were ealling at
three o'clock.
"I was in a terrible state of mind,
for I had in my room a considerable
quantity of stolen property and I
knew that my next conviction would
mean a very long sentence. I rushed
up to the room, gathered my stuff to-
gether, and was out of the house a
little before three. As I opened the
door I saw Mr. Rex Lander standing
by the gate. I had seen Mr. Lander
before, because he had stayed for a
little time in the house a month af-
ter I had taken up my position. He
had always been very nice to me, and
he is a gentleman for whom I have
a great deal of respect.

"His uncle, 'the late Mr. Trasmere,
did not like him. He told my once
that Mr. Rex was extravagant and
lazy. On seeing Mr. Rex at the gate
my heart went down into my boots,
and I thought that he must immedi-
ately detect that something was
wrong. He asked me if his uncle was
ill, and that gave me a moment to
pull myself together, and I told him
that I was going on a very urgent
errand, and running into the street I
had the good luck to find a taxi -cab
which drove me to the Central Sta-
tion. I did not, however, leave town,
but made my way to a room which
I had once occupied in a house which
I 'knew in Reed Street, where I have
been in hiding ever since. I did not
see 'Mr. Trasmere again after lunch.
He did not come out to inquire who
had called when the telegram arriv-
ed; there were frequent callers,
tradesmen and others, and I never re-

"There is the statement," said Oar
jeer. "Not a line Must be used; only
the fact that the statement has been
made can be published. What do you
think of it?"
"It reads fairly honest to ane," said
Tab, and the Inepeotor nodded.
"It does to me also. 7 never had
the slightest doubt in my mind that
Walters, or Felling, was innocent. The
references to Miss Ardfern's visits
are a little obscure, and in one sense
rather remarkable; particularly the
old man's reference to the pin."
"You are thinking of the pin we
found in the corridor?" said Tab
quickly. •
Carver laughed softly.
"I was and I wasn't;" he said. "The
pin of which the old man spoke was
obviously one of the jewels which
were in the box, and as obviously he
was taking an inventory of the jewel -
case to see that everything was
there."
Tab was silent for a while.
"You mean that the jewels really
belonged to Trasmere, that he loaned
them to the girl, and that she had to
return them every night?" he asked
quietly.
"There is no other explanation,"
said Carver. "There is no other ex-
planation, either, far her secretarial
activities. Trasmere was in a score
of enterprises, and I have no doubt
that he was the man who put up the
money for Ursula Ardfern's season.
He was a shrewd old boy and probab-
ly had seen her acting. My own im-
pression is that he made a fortune
out of this girl--"
"But why should she, a successful
actress, consent to act as his mid-
night secretary? Why should she go
on as though she were a slave to this
pian, instead of being, if your theory
is correct, an earner of big money?"
Carver looked at him steadily.
"Because he knew something about
Miss Ardfern-something that she
did not wish should be known," he
said gently. "I am not suggesting it
is anything descreditable to her," he
went on discreetly, detecting the cloud
gathering on Tab's face. "Some day
she'll tell us all about it, I daresay.
At present, it is unimportant."
He got up from his desk -they were
talking in his office -and stretched
himself.
"This concludes the day's entertain-
ment, gentlemen," he said, "and if
von are dissatisfied, your money will
be returned to you at the doors."
There were moments when Carver
could be. facetious.
"No, I'm not going home. I have a
couple of hours' work here. I shan't
be disturbed. Happily the station
telephone k out of order. A tree felt
across a Iine somewhere between here
and the exchange. Remember, Tab,
only the briefest notes of Walter's
arrest. Nothing about the charge,
not a single 'item of his statement,
beyond the fact that he has made
one."
Happily Jacques had gone home, or
the news -editor would have expl lied
at the meagre details with whicn Tab
supplied hisnewspaper that night.
He reached home at half -past elev-
en with a queer little ache at his
heart. What was Ursula Ardfern's
secret? Why the mystery? Why
must her mystery be interwoven with
the greater and the more sordid mys-
tery of the old man's death?
As he pushed open the door he saw
a telegram in the box which was
common to the whole of the flats, once
the entrance door was closed. It was
for him, and he tore open the envelope
and unfolded its flimsy contents. It
was handed in at Naples, and was
from Rex.
"Going on to Egypt; quite recover-
ed. Shall be back in a month."
He smiled to himself, and hoped
that "quite recovered" referred to his
youthful infatuation as well as his
disordered nerves. He paused outside
the door of his flat to find his key and
as he did so he thought he heard a
sound. It may have come from one
of the flats above, but he did not give
it any importance, and, inserting the
key, he caught a momentary flash of
light through the transom of his sit -
tin -room. It was as if at the second
he had opened the door the lights in
the sitting -room had been extinguish-
ed.
It must have been an optical de-
lusion, he thought; but the memory
of the burglar came to him as he dos-
ed the door slowly behind him. For
a second he hesitated, and then push-
ed open the closed door of the sitting -
room. The first thing he noticed was
that all the blinds were down, and he
had left them up. He heard the
sound of heavy breathing.
"Who's 'there?" he asked, and then
reached out his hand for the switch.
Before his fingers could close upon
the lever something struck him. He
felt no pain, was conscious only of a
terrible shock that brought him to his
knees, incapable of thought or move-
ment. Somebody pushed past nim in
the darkness. There was a slam of
the flat door, a quick patter of feet
on the stairs, and the street door
slammed.
Still Tab remained on his hands and
knees, held there by his own insincible
will. There was a trickle of warm
blood running over his forehead and
into the corner of his eye, and the
subsequent smart of it brought him
at last to his senses. He got un-
steadily to his feet and put on the
lights.
It was a chair that struck him; it
lay overturned near the door. Tab
felt gingerly at his forehead and then
went in search of a mirror. The in-
jury was a very slight one, the wound
being superficial. He guessed that
the chair must have caught against
the wall and eased the blow, for one
of the legs was broken and there was
a long scratch on the wall. Mechan-
ically he bathed his face, put a rough
dressing on his forehead, and then
went back to the sitting -room to get
a better idea of the confusion which
reigned there than he had been able

to appreciate at first. Every draw
in his desk had been emptied. On
which he kept locked, and which con
tained his more rivate papers;
been forcibly broken open and th
contents were• scattered, some on th
floor, a few on the desk. A littl
bureau by the wall had been treate
with the same lack of courtesy, a
the floor was littered with its con
tents.
He found the same in his bedroom
every drawer rummaged except hi
wardrobe, every box opened.
In Rex's room the only thing tha
had been touched was the second
trunk that the burglar had left on
his previous visit. This was on the
bed, opened, and its contents had been
thrown around in confusion.
Tab's gold watch and chain, which
he had inadvertently left behind, was
untouched. His cashbox had been
wrenched open, but though, the'money
had been emptied out not a cent had
been taken. Then he made a curious
discovery. In one of the drawers of
his desk he had a portfolio of photo-
graphs of himself which had been
made a year 'before at the request of
his many maiden aunts. This had
been removed, and every photograph
torn into four pieces..He found the
debris with the other papers. It was
the only wanton ' damage that the
burglar had done. For what had he
been searching? Tab puzzled his
brains to remember the possession of
something which might interest an
outsider. tWlhat did; Rex own that
was worth all the trouble that this
unknown visitor had taken?
He got on to the telephone and
tried to reach Carver, and then re-
membered Carver had told him the
station 'phone was out of order.
On the stroke of midnight Inspec-
tor Carver was tidying ,ins desk pre-
paratory to leaving when a dishevel-
led and damaged Tab made his ap-
pearance.
"Hullo," said Carver, `5been fight-
ing?"
"The other fellow did the fighting,"
said Tab. "Carver, I am going to sue
the men who supplied us with our
furniture. He said that the chairs
were mahogany, and they are only
pine."
"Sit down," commanded the detec-
tive; "you seem to be a little out of
your mind." And then quickly, "you
haven't had another visit from your
burglar?"
Tab nodded.
"And what is more, I found him at
home," he said grimly, and related all
that had happened in the flat.
""I'll come along and see the dam-
age, though I don't think it will help
us much," said Carver slowly. ""So
he tore up your photographs, did he?
That is rather interesting."
"I guess he didn't like me," said
Tab. "I have been trying to remem-
ber all the crooks I have annoyed,
Carver. It can't be young Harry
Bolter, because he must be still in
prison; and it can't be Low Sorki,
because, if I remember rightly, he got
religion in prison and he is now con-
ducting a mission to the submerged.
They are the only two people who ex-
pressed their intention of cutting
short my young life."
""It is neither of those." Carver
was emphatic on this point. "Tell me
again, Tab, from the moment you op-
ened the door to the moment you lost
interest in the proceedings, just what
happened. First, did you close the
flat -door behind you?"
"Yes," said Tab, surprised.
"And then you went into the sitting
room, and he caught you a whack
with the chair? There were no
lights ?"
"None whatever."
"No light on the landing outside the
flat door?" asked Carver eagerly.
"`None."
"And he just rushed past you and
was gone. You remember that very
well, I suppose, although you were

"I remember his going and hearing
the door slam," said Tab, wondering.
Carver was making notes on his
blotting -pad in that strange system
of shorthand which nobody understood
but Carver.
"Now, Tab, think very carefully
fore you reply, was there anything in
Lander's box, any reference to
uncle, any document respecting
uncle, anything, indeed, that had to do,
even remotely, with Trasmere, in t
box of Lander's? Because I am
fectly certain that there was the
jective and that the search of y
room was an after -thought. In fact,
it is proved by the circumstance
the thief being in your room when
you arrived he had evidently
that search to the last."
Tab concentrated his mind u
Rex and all Rex's belongings.
"No," he confessed, "I can't rem
ber anything."
Carver nodded.
"Very good," he said, rising; ""

He fell almost into Carver's' arms,
and his mouth opened and closed like
a fish out of water. When he did
speak his voice was a squeak.

READ WHAT MR. E. GIBBS SAYS
OF DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS
Ontario Man Suffered For Years
With His Kidneys.
Bracebridge, Ont., March 6.-1(Spe-
cial)-Once more Dodd's Kidney Pills
have proved their wonderful value in
the case of Mr. E. Gibbs, a resident of
this place. He writes: "I suffered
for years with my kidneys. I started
taking Dodd's Kidney Pills and got
relief after taking the first box. After
taking three boxes I felt as well as
ever I did. I would not be without
them now, and keep them in the house
all the time. My wife also uses them.
To avoid disease, the Kidneys must
be kept in good working order. The
Kidneys are the scarvengers of the
body. Their work is to strain all the
impurities out of the blood. If the
Kidneys are wrong, the impurities,
the seeds of disease remain in the
blood, and serious trouble may fol-
low.
At the first sign of trouble give
Dodd's Kidney Pills a trial.
