Sir James sat down and subjected
Julius to a long scrutiny.
"Mr. Hershetmmer.” he said at last,
"that Is a very lerce sum. At thè
present rate of exchange it amounts
to considerably over two hundred
thousand pounds."
•T h a fa so. Maybe you think I ’m
talktnc through ray hat, but I can de­
liver the goods all right, wtth enough
over to spare for your fee.”
Sir James flushed slightly.
“There Is no question of a fee, Mr.
Hershelmmer. 1 am not a private de­
tective."
"Sorry. I guess I was just a mite
hasty, but Fve been feeling bad abont
thia money question. I wanted to
offer a big reward for news of Jane

stitution of Scotland Yard advised me
against I t Raid it was nndeslrflble.”
81r James considered fer a moment.
"There is no time to be lost The
sooner we strike the better.“ He
turned to Tuppence. "Is M r * Van-
demeyer dining out tonight do you
know?"
"Tes, I think so, but she w ill not
be out late. Otherwise, aha would
have taken the latchkey."
“Good. I w ill cell upon her about
ten o’clock. W hat time are yon sup­
posed to return ?”
“About nine-thirty or ten. but I
could go back earlier.
"Ton must not do that on any sc-1

“He's got a new Rolla-Royce ear"
said Tuppence with vicarious pride.
“Bren better. Tt I succeed la ob­

than you can help.”
He shook hands with them both,
and a moment later they were out­

“Isn’t he a duck?” Inquired Tup­
pence ecstatically, as she skipped
down the steps. “Oh, Julius, isn’t he

“Well. I allow he seems to be the

" I must walk a bit, I think. I ’ll
meet you at the Ritz at seven.”
Tuppence walked briskly along
towards the Serpentine, first glancing
at her watch.
I t was nearly six
o'clock.
She remembered that she
had had no tea, but felt too excited
to be conscious of hunger. She walked
as far as Kensington gardens and
then slowly retraced her steps, feel

and exercise. It was not so easy to
follow Sir James’ advice, end put the
possible events of the evening out of
her head. As she drew nearer and
nearer to Hyde park corner, the temp­
tation to return to South Audley man-
alone wea almost Irresistible.
A t any rate, she decided, It woqld
