staring into the darkness. That
was It! The chauffeur looked like
the man who had met Roberta!
Exactly like him. except that hair
and eyebrows were black. And
Mrs. Smith, aside from her face,
which apparently she kept always
heavily veiled, looked and moved
like Roberta. Coincidence?
Assuring himself that two strik
ing resemblances in one house
hold spread coincidence rather
thick, he, lay down again. He was
thinking 'too intently.

sought .out one of Scott's detec

.it .seem part of wisdom to offer
him 'certainties in future, rather
than suppositions, for the sword,

Agreeing that the double re

tective suggested searching the
premises again, but Nixon assured
him that these had been very
fboroutrhly Invptlrated. and that,
wherever Celia was hidden, it was
pot aout that property. He
thought, however, that she might
