By DENNIS WHEATLEY
SYNOPSIS
Gregory Sallust, young English
private investigator, is greatly in
terested in the affairs of the beau
tiful Hungarian girl, Sabine Szen
tes, for two reasons: first, because
her beauty and Charm are irresist
ible ; second, because she is associ
ated with Lord Gavin Fortescue, a
sinister, shadowy figure in inter
national affairs. Fortescue is a
strange looking little man, curi
ously misshapen. Sallust knows him
by reputation and has begun to sus
pect that he jnd Sabine are con
cerned in certain illegal activities
which Gregory is investigating for
Sir Peltinore Gwaine-Cust, a Brit
ish industrial giant. Gregory and
Sabine have become friends, al
though-she will tell him nothing of
herself or her relations with For
tescne. In saving Inspector Wells,
a Scotland Yard detective, from a
brawl in a cafe near Deauville,
' France, where Sabine had lured the
victim, uregory gains possession
ef a mvcteriaua coded tele-cram
dropped during the hght. Sabine
refuses to enlighten Gregory on the
telegram, warninghim it is danger
ous to know too much. She agrees
to spend the following day with the
infatuated Uregory. Dining at a
roadside inn, Sabine is filled with
apprehension for Gregory's safety
when she sees "The Limper," one
of Lord Gavin's henchmen, watch
ing them. Later, when Gregory
goes to get his car, be is attacked
by a man who throws pepper in his
eyes. Sabine disappears. Return
, ing to England Gregory's suspi
cions of Lord Gavin Fortescue are
confirmed by Sir Pellinore and
Gregory calls on Inspector Mar
rowfat of Scotland Yard to try to
stahlish a working acreemenf with
Mh police but be gets no co-opera-
tion as Marrowfat can see no con
. nection between the matter Wells
was sent to investigate and Sir Pel
,' linore's business. Gregory denies
that he found the teleeram. The In
spector tells' Wells to shadow
Gregory, believing he will lead the
police to something important.
That same evening, with bis serv
ant Rudd, Gregory Bier to the
- French coast to search for a certain

his plan of action to Rudd. To allay

" - ' CHAPTER IX - v '
"la the meantime we've dined
well, and that's the truth, heaven
knows, but well rive them the im-
.pression we've wined considerably
better not tight, you' know, but
Inat ahrmt half a one avr the orlrla.
so what's more natural than we
should knock off a few more drinks
. at this place while we're waiting for
old Brown?
"If he fails to turn on in an hour
or so we mav think it a bit strantre
that the poor blighter's lost his way,
but by that time we'll be fairly well
. ginned up and not earing two hoots
in Hades for anybody. Well start
talking of making a night of it as we
refresh ourselves with further po
tions of the local poison. Round
about midnight well agree that old
Brown's lost himself and obviously
returned to the hotel in Calais,
where we spent last night. Then
. well say, for the benefit of anyone
who's listening, that well do the
same ourselves and foot it back
when we feel like bed. It's not likely
theyll turn us out as long as we look
like buying another drink, since
there are none of those fool early
closing laws in France. If they do,
well know there's something fishy
gtung on. Then, well have to con
tinue our watch outside. Get the
Idea?-
"Yes, sir. Sounds like a first class
pub crawl, without the crawl in it,
ter me. I've often wished there
weren't no early closing hours in
England."
While Gregory was speaking they
had driven past the last houses of
the town and were now out in the
open country with the rolling down
land all about them. A few minutes
later a solitary building came into i
view at the roadside on the brow of
low hill. I
"That'll be it, unless I'm much
mistaken," said Gregory, "so I think
it's about here well ditch the car."
He slowed down and ran it off the
road into a shallow gully, then
climbed out, remarking; "I dont
want to leave her on the road in
case some fool breaks his neck by
crashing into her. Well say we had
to run into the bank to avoid a speed
maniac and that the Jolt snapped
somethings We don't know what, as
we're not mechanics."
Side by side they trudged np the
slope to the solitary building. It
proved to be no more than a couple
of ancient flint-walled cottages
knocked into one, but a creaking
She was a dull creature and her
aha. rat fn thff conversation ' Wax
limited to polite meaningless ex
pressions and a series of nods.'
When the topic of their trip was
exhausted Gregory asked permis
sion to remove the bottle to a table
in the far corner and, with Rudd,
parked himself at it. .
When he had seated himself in the
corner with his back to the wall, so
that he, could survey the whole of
the lowl-raf tered room, he 'scruti
nized each of the other visitors in
turn, while keeping up a desultory
conversation with Rudd. He care
fully hid his satisfaction as he
noticed that one of the three men
who were talking at a table near the
doorway was the dark, curly-haired
lit
i f sv lQwF fit in
Gregory and Rudd cautiously approached the shuttered inn
sign above the doorway established
the fact that it was the Cafe de la
Cloche. Before it, on the stony
ground, stood an few rusty iron
tables and battered chairs. The
place was shuttered but lights came
through the cracks of two windows,
and from beneath the heavy door.
No other sign of, life showed about
the place and it was wrapped in a
deep silence. . . ' j '.
Gregory kicked open the door and
walked in, with Rudd behind him.
Inside a bar ran down one side of
the room. Behind it on the shelves
was a meager collection of bottles,
many, of which looked as though
they had stood there for genera
tions. A dark, bloosy, sullen-eyed
French girl sat behind the bar knit
ting. A handful of men occupied
three of the five cheap wooden tables
covered with red and white checked
cloths. One group was playing domi
noes. The rest were talking in sub
dued .voices. All of them had the
appearance of French peasants or
fishermen. The air was heavy with
stale tobacco, smoke, the fumes of
cheap spirits and the odor of on
washed humanity. -
'Monsieur?' said the girl, stand
ing up and abandoning her knitting.
Gregory asked for whisky, but
she had none, so he changed his
order to cognac and she poured two
portions from an unlabeled bottle
into thick glasses.
He had become suddenly garru
lous and friendly. Leaning across
the bar he told her about their "ac
cident," and laughed somewhat hila
riously at the thought of poor old
Brown now trudging back to Calais.
Then he went on to speak of their
holiday, purposely refraining from
using his best French and helping
out his apparently scanty knowl
edge of the language with frequent
vivid gestures. j ,
The girl proved a poor audience.'
young thug who had thrown a knife
at him a few nights before in Trou
ville. Mr. Co rot , of the telegram,
Gregory decided to assume for, the ;
moment.'- - '" i.
Pulling his raincoat op round his
ears and his hat down over his eyes,
he shifted his chair a little so that
Rudd should come between him and
the Frenchman, in case the fellow
happened to glance around. He had
no desire at all to be recognized at
the moment. "
At a little before eleven the domi
no party broke up and the players
left the cafe. Only five others, in
cluding the curly-headed knife
thrower, now remained, and they
were all seated together. Gregory
and Rudd were half way through
the liter bottle of brandy. It was
cheap fiery stuff, but both of them
possessed heads like rocks, and if
they had ceased drinking Gregory
knew they would soon find they had
outstayed their welcome.
It was a dreary business waiting
there for something to happen, and
Gregory was thankful when at
about a quarter past eleven "Corot"
stood cp, obviously summoned by a
few musical notes upon a motor
horn, twice repeated, from a spot
not far distant on the road outside.
As he left the inn the notes on the
motor horn were sounded again with
evident impatience which gave
Gregory the opportunity to say
casually to the girl behind the bar, I
"I wonder if that's our friend, who's
found our ditched car at last and is :
wondering what's happened to us.
As he wouldn't know we're here I
think we'd better go and see."
He pulled out a note and paid the
bill in a leisurely way, treating the
girl to some cheerful half -tipsy
badinage before he left in order to
avoid the appearance of deliberately
following the other man.
