SYNOPSIS
When Gregory Sallust first saw
the girl, in the Casino at Deauville,
it was near midnight on the last day
of the young Englishman's leisure
ly tour through Normandy. Sallust,
a former Intelligence officer, is now
confidential investigator for a great
British commercial corporation.
The girl, tall and beautiful, came
into the gaming roomaccompanied
by a strange little man, not a dwarf
' ytt curiously ill-proportioned,
whom Gregory recognized as a sin
ister figure in international affairs.
.When, at midnight, the girl left the
Casino alone, Sallust followed her.
She meets a man in aviator's togs
and the two are trailed by Gregory
to a room above a cheap cafe, where
the man is attacked by hoodlums.
Gregory helps him escape. Gregory
' then takes the girl, Sabine, to his
hotel apartment to save btr from
police questioning. She is friendly
but will tell him nothing about her
self or the telegram in code dropped
by the aviator (a Scotland Yard
operative) and picked op by Greg
ory. She spends the next day with
the infatuated Gregory, although
messages from her guardian warn
her not to do so. They lunch hap
pily at a roadside inn until Sabine
grows pale at sight of a lame man
called "The Limper." She wonders
if bet "friend" sent him and cau
' tions Gregory to be carefuL Greg
ory goes to get his car and is at
tacked by an assailant who throws
pepper in his eyes. Sabine dis
appears. Back In England the fol-
' lowing day, Gregory relates the
whole story to his employer. Sir
Pellinore Gwaine-Cust, British in
dustrial giant. He further reveals
- that Sabine's strange little guardian
is Lord Gavin Fortescue, sus
pected of being connected with cer
tain illegal activities which Greg
ory is investigating. 1
CHAPTER VII ,
"Good God, man! Why didn't you
tell me this before?" Sir Pellinore
at forward quickly.
"Because I'm a born storyteller,
and always save the tidbit till the
last. I could make a fortune writing
thrillers if I weren't so darned lazy,
but I think you'll agree now that I'm
tn to something big."
Sir Pellinore drank again of the
eld brandy. "I agree entirely. I
wouldn't be surprised if Gavin For
tetcue isnt the king pin in the whole
ef this devilish business we're up
gainst You're right, my boy, in
Tour intention to. fellow this up.
-What's your next move?"
"I want a plane. It must be fast,
foolproof and whatever make has
the least noisy engine." Ill pilot my
self. Most of my work will be night
flying and 111 have to observe, as
well as fly the plane, so I want the
aort of thing that flies itself almost,
i If yoa can get it for me.
"Most planes do these days. Any
how, the best machine that money
can buy shall be at your disposal at
Xleston tomorrow. What thenT"
44 Well see what your pal at the
Admiralty can do to decode the tele-
srrara. although I m doubtful -if hell
( make much of it. The numbers
probably apply to things or places,
so only the people who have the key
. can read the thing. Still, where it
ays sixth, seventh and eighth, I
think it's a fair bet that dates are
Implied as today is the fifth of Au
gust. If they are dates the inference
is that something's going to happen
tomorrow, the sixth, so I shall have
a cut at getting in on it. Anyhow, I
propose to be snooping round the
Call de la Cloche in Calais tomor
row night."
"Good, but as the police are al
ready mixed up In this I think you
ought ta cooperate with them if
oossible.
"The police hate civilians butting
tn on their affairs. -
"That's true, but since one of
their men was attacked it's up to us

possession, whether they're after
the same thing or not. The Commis
sioner is in Scotland at the moment
but IH telephone the Assistant Com
missioner and arrange for you to
meet somebody at the; Yard in the
morning."
Gregory shrugged: f Just as you
wish, although I doubt if much good
will come of it." I
At five minutes past twelve the
next day Gregory was ushered into
Superintendent Marrowfat's room
at Scotland Yard. It was a cold in
hospitable looking office, the only
cheerful thing in it being its occu
pant, j
He was a large man, very large.
For a second the Superintendent's
with a round red cherubic counte
nance, friendly blue eyes, and a
shock of tight carrot-colored curls
upon his head. j
"Sit down, sir." The Superintend
ent waved a hand towards a chair on
the far side of his desk, then pushed
over a box of cigarettes. "Will you
smoke?" I
"Thanks." Gregory took a ciga
rette and lighted it. j
"The A.C. teQs me that Sir Pelli
nore Gwaine-Cust rang up to say
you had some information which
might be useful to us and, if that's
so, we should be very pleased to have
it." i
In the course of the following
thirty minutes prompted occasion
ally by pertinent questions from
Superintendent Marrowfat Greg
ory proceeded to relate almost all
the events that had taken place be
tween the time he first saw Sabine
and the strange little man enter the
Casino and the moment the man
with the dragging leg had outwitted
him at Dives the following after
noon. He included, at the Superin
tendent's request, a complete de
scription of Sabine. For the Limper
he could not do as welL
"I only caught sight of him for a
second and his . back was turned
toward me. He was a tall fellow,
over six feet I should say, dressed in
a smart light gray lounge suit and
a Homburg. He dragged his left
foot a little. That's all I can tell
you."
"Thanks. It's a pity though that

CHICAGO. M iy" 31-yP)-In a
brisk rebound, the Chicago wheat
market today virtually overcame
1 cents tumble to fresa five
year bottom price records.
Temporary collapse of heat
values, forcing corn, rye, oat and
lard quotations all down to levels
unmatched heretofore 4his sea
son, followed an authof'lative
trade forecast that the 193 F Unit
ed States wheat crop " wot Id be
Uie largest ever known; 1 055,
000,000 bushels. The ptfvious
record crop was 1.099.0C0.000
bushels, harvested In 1315.
Export Iluying Lively
On the other band, lively ex
Port buying from North America
today, about one million bushels,
helped to rally the ChicaRO mar
ket, and so too did the fact
that May delivery at Wii nipeg
showed 10 cents nulge in the last
48 hours of trading.
At the close, Chicago wheat
futures were unchanged to
cent lower compared with Sat
urday's finish. July 68T.-6?, Sep
tember 70-70; corn -
down, July 54-. September
55-; oats unchanged to 14
off; xye varying from 1 de
cline to i advance, and pro
visions showing 5 to It cents
setback.
Third-Spray for
Nuts Is Due now
Third Walnut blisht spray
should be Applied now. according
to Robert E. Rieder, assistant
county agent and county horti
cultural inspector.
The third or post-bloom spray
application to Franquette' walnut
orchards located on the valley
floor for the control of blight
should be made as aoon as pos
sible. Franquette plantings 11 the
hills are not as ye, quite in the
Si
cause he might be an old friend
we've lost sight f for some time.
The lady, of course, we knew all
about before."
"The devil yoa did!" exclaimed
Gregory. T
"Yes. Wells got awayi all right
and naturally he gave us details of
the occurrence in his report. Hell
be glad to have his pocketbook back. '
The woman's not French, but Hun
garian, and you're right about her
being a beauty. He laid stress on
that !n his description of her."
"If you had it already why on
earth did you bother me for it then?"
"J ust a matter of routine, sir. We
have rather a habit here of check
ing up as often as possible." :
eyes went curiously blank
" Checking op whether I was lying
to you, eh?"
The big nan's eyes twinkled. "I
wouldn't exactly say that, but I al
ways like to establish the mental
orientation of my visitors as far as
possible, if you understand what I
mean. Now, what can you tell me
about the elderly man who was with
the girl at the Casino."
- "I don't think you'll need any de
scription of him. It was Lord Gavin
Fortescue.".
For a second the Superintendent's
blue eyes went curiously blank, but
not a muscle of his face, betrayed his
sudden interest, and a less acute ob
server than Gregory would have
missed his carefully concealed re
action. "Lord Gavin Fortescue," he re
peated casually. "Yes, we can get
particulars on him easily enough, as
we can of most well-known people.
Are you quite sure though that it
was Lord Gavin?"
"Certain.) I could hardly be mis
takencould I?"
"No. Once seen never forgotten,
as the saying goes." the Superin
tendent replied, admitting that he
was quite well acquainted with Lord
Gavin's strikingly unusual appear
ance. "In your view, then. Lord
Gavin Fortescue sent those thugs to
lay out our man?"
"That's about the sixe of if
"What d'you think he was after?"
"I haven't the faintest idea, but I
hope to find out in the course of the
next few days."

Aids Slightly Just Before
Closing, Time
NEW YORK. Alay-3 -Continued
gloom over the - business
and industrial, outlook,, in addi
tion to cloudiness of Washington
developments, served to t'irther
depress stocks in today's market.
In dealings that barelv kept
the ticker tape in motion, pivotal
issues slipped fractions to , more
than 2 points in the morning.
Feeble buying support a,Hieared
in the final hour and declines
were reduced 'n most caj-.es at
the close.
N Transfers Way Down
Transfers totaled only 404,060
shares . compared with 7(.0,710
last Friday. It was the smallest
full day's turnover in nfcout a
week. The Associated Press
average of 60 issues yielded .3
of a point at 37.1.
Although far from pleasing to
P commission houses, the ligr tness
of offerings brought a little
cheer to analytical forces which
saw In the scantiness of deal
ings a sign that important hold
ings still, are intact.
