; "That was Eric's idea," Temple
answered her. "You may remem
ber that Phineos Hudson's casket
jhad already been selected by him
and was stored in the house tit
Loulsburg Square. Well, Phlneas
had said In both Erie's and my
presence that, If he ever got his
hands on the Ostermunn dia
monds, he would either see thut
they were returned to the rightful
ownerB or take them to the grave
with him. Eric 'thought they might

coffin."
i "What had you and Phlneas
Hudson to do with the Ostermann
diamonds?" Brenda asked-
"That," Temple said, "goes
long' way back. In 1930 Eric
.Woolf made Phlneas Hudson what
seemed like an innocent proposi
tion.! Remember this was before
the war.-
"Eric had formed the Atlantic
Distributing Company. They
dealt In German optical goods
and marketed large quantities at
Incredibly low prices. Eric ad
mitted suavely that American
'prejudice against Infiltration of
German goods would be more
easily overcome by the presence
of Phlneas Hudson's name on the
letterhead as chairman of the
board. The money was good;
Phineas Hudson's fortune was
gone. He accepted. . .
"When he found out that It was
a front for Nazi activities, It was
too lute to pull out."
"But, father," Brenda said,

fmann collection. The Idea was
that if the stones were marketed
Into the private collections of men
of means, they would bring a
higher price. Xuvler's title seemed
clear. I accepted the commission,
"I was to receive the gems from
Calovestri. But Phineas, through
Eric, got wind of a plot of the
Gestapo to lilt the stones. He
told me of it and I started at once
for Lisbon to interrupt Culuvcstri,
miming Phineas as authorized
ugent to accept delivery in my
absence if I should fall." 1 -
"But Calovestri didn't go to
Lisbon," I said.
"No." Temple drew thought
fully on his cigar. "She went to
Africa, got passage somehow from
Dakar to Natal, and came here
from South America."
"Where did Booker come In?"
I asked.
Xavler hired him to watch
Calavestrl," replied Temple. "He
lost her trail when she went to
Africa but picked it up again In
Boston."
"How about me?"
"Booker had been Informed of
the .substitution of Hudson for
me. He thought he had a good
contact in you to grab the stones
and dispose of them to his own
profit. Then things Rot badly
fouled up. Booker lifted the
stones after Calavestrl's death."

"No." Temple shook his head.
'She wns killed by Nazi agents
who mistakenly thought she was
carrying the stones with her when
she tried to contact you."
"But why did Bho do that?"
"Panic," Templo said. "She
wanted to pull out of the deal.
Booker had been after her to abr
scond with the stones. You looked
honest."
'And credulous," I said. "What
was Booker doing at The Ledges?"
"Hiding out." Temple said. "He
