CHAPTER IV— Continued
“ Yoa and the decensed gentleman
were very close friends, I think?" he
said quietly. “ Such close friends that
be leaves you all his money— a vast
fortune I— and appoints you sole ex
ecutor of his last will and testament—
and yet never even mentions the m at
te r of his good Intentions and your
extraordinary luck to you 1” he said,
with what wns almost a sneer. “ You’re
sure about your memory?"
“I'm sure of something else than
my memory I" I retorted hotly.
"I
know nothing whatever about M aza
roff’s w ill, I never knew he’d made
one. And I ’m very sure that If his
w ill Is found, and I have to handle Ills
money, I shall just transfer It to whom
It belongs— to his widow and daugh
ter,”
But Crole had got a hand on my
arm by that time, and was dragging
at me.
“Sit down, Holt, you <1— d young
MS I” he muttered strenuously. “Sit
down I— leave this to me.” He, too,
got on his legs— his voice sounded
suave and placatory as he turned to
the coroner.
“I think, sir, that this has scarcely
anything to do with the object o f this
Inquiry.
I suggest that the Inquest
be adjourned until— ”
“I ’m about to do that,” broke In the
coroner. “During the next few days,
more light w ill doubtless be thrown on
all these m atterà" H e turned to the
open-mouthed Jurymen.
“This day
fortnight, gentlemen, and In the mean
time— ”
I paid no heed to the coroner’s
platitudes about keeping open minds
— my own mind was In a w hirl of In
dignation against Mrs. Elphlnstone's
solicitor. But when I turned In her
direction, I saw that Mrs. Elphln
stone herself had crossed over from
her seat and was talking earnestly to
him.
Presently he came up to me,
w ith a half-amused, half-Ingratlatlng
smile.
“You're a bit hot-tempered, Mr.
H o lt," he said. “Come, cornel— I was
only
speaking
professionally,
you
know— professional manners, a fte r all,
are— "
“Confoundedly offensive, sir, If that's
a specimen of them !" I retorted.
“ You were Inferring th a t—”
“Now, now, I wasn’t Inferring any
thing !” he Interrupted soothingly. “I ’vq
the Interest o f my client to consider.
I say again, It's an odd thing that
Masaroff or Merchlson didn’t mention
his will to you. But the whole thing's
odd," he went on, looking round, “and
what I suggest Is that we legal gentle
men and the parties concerned just
have a talk, if we can find a place
to talk In.”
I took them Into the private sitting
room which Masaroff and I had char
tered and I still retained— the three
solicitors, Mr. and Mrs. Elphlnstone,
and Sheila. The solicitors did most of
the talking that followed: It was all
about the chances of recovering tbs
missing w ill and the possibilities of
settling up ths original d ra ft— which
was wholly In MasarofTs handwriting
and also bore his signature— If no re
covery was made.
The discussion
didn't Interest me: I resolved, a fte r
what I had heard, that I should never
touch one penny of the dead man's
money.
Suddenly Crole smote the table at
which he was sitting.
“Who mur
dered this man?" he exclaimed, with
emphasis. "T hat’s the question I Who
murdered him, and why? He was a
man of mystery, evidently. And as
I'v e asked before— was he murdered
aa Mazaroff, or aa Merchlson? I think
we may bave te go back—perhaps a
long way. lin t It seems to me that the
asnrder must he cleared np as a start.”
Just then Maythorne cams In, clos
ing the door behind him.
“Gathered anything?” asked Croie.
“W ell—something,’’ answered May-
tkom e. “ No secret nbout It, either.

sclously— of his money. They think
he slipped out of the barroom, perhaps
with do very definite Intention; that
chancing to pass the open door of thia
private room he saw Musgrave’s gnn
hanging on those hooks, stepped In,
took It down and cleared off w ith It ;
that he afterw ard followed Mazaroff
acrosa the moor, shot him dead, and
robbed h im ; a fte r that throwing the
gun away where It waa found, and
clearing out with the proceeds o f his
crime.
That, I say, Is the police
theory."
“And what do you think o f It?”
asked Wetherby.
“It's a good theory— from a police
man’s point of view,” said Maythorne.
“There may be a great deal In It. But
speaking for myself, I should like to
know more about the dead man's per
sonal, private history, recent as well
as past.
One matter In particular
needs clearing up. He told M r. Holt
that he wunted to see some man here
at Marrasdale. Who was that man?
Did he see him?"
Nobody o f course, could answer that
question, and the conference broke np.
We burled Mazaroff— or Merchlson
—that afternoon, very quietly, and In
the evening Webster drove Crole,
Maythorne and myself to Black G ill
Junction, where we caught the night
mall for London. F o r Maythorne was
unusually keen on seeing the officials
at the Im perial Banking Corporation
o f South A frica, and on finding out
all he could about Mazaroff In general,
and the receipt fo r the registered let
ter Indorsed “ BL. D. 1.,” In particular.
At h alf past ten next morning we were
all three closeted w ith an important
personage o f the bank, who, as soon
as he knew oar business, became
keenly Interested about M azaroff and
the circumstances of his death. I be
lieved he was going to prove a valu
able aid, but as soon as he saw the
receipt and its date he shook his head.
“Ah I” he said. “T he man who would
deal with M azaroff’s acconnt and let
ters, at the date of this receipt. Is no
longer here. H e was M r. Arm lntrade
— he left ns six months since, to be
come manager of Courthope’s."
I think It was greatly to my credit
that I controlled my features and the
rest o f me when thia sudden announce
ment waa made, neither staring nor
starting at the mention of Armln-
trade's name.
Even Crole, old and
hardened man of law that he was,
could not refrain from a very slight
start of surprise.
Maythorne, of
course, showed no surprise; his face,
always cheerful and bright, betrayed
nothing.
“I know Courthope’a— by reputa
tion,” he remarked. “Then— you your
self can’t tell us anything very much
about Mazaroff?”
" I can tell you what I know,” re
plied our Informant, evidently quite
w illing to talk. “We know M azaroff
as a very wealthy man who had ex
tensive dealings In trading affairs,
and latterly In diamonds and other
precious stones. In the East, and In
South Africa. He kept his principal
account at our Cape Town headquar
ters, but for years he has had a small
er account here as well. Lately, he
transferred hls Cape Town account
here; he also realized all his various
properties and paid the proceeds In
here, w ith a view to reinvestment In
English securities.”
“Then you hold a considerable sum
of hls?" suggested Crole. “W e under
stand that It Is about sight hundred
thousand pounds?”
“About that, I dare say,” assented
the manager, almost Indifferently.
Rather more, I fancy. Oh, yes—a
wealthy m an! And the w ill, you say,
is lost?”
"Missing tem porarily, we hope,"
bald Crole.
“But Poatlethwalte has
the original d raft. In M azaroff’s own
handwriting, and signed by Mazaroff.
Can yon tell us anything of Mazaroff
—personally?”
“N ext to nothing,” answered the
manager. “H e called here, just once,
some tim e a fte r hls arriv al In Lon
don. I saw him— In this very room.
He wasn't here live minutes. H e said
be was Just going for a tour In the
north of England, and would look In
on hls return, a few weeks hence.
And— that's a ll.”
A few minutes later we all left.
And once outside the great door of
the bank, Crole gave M aythorne a
sharp glance.
"Um I” he said. “Arm lntrade I"
“Just so I" said Maythorne. “As you
say— Arm lntrade I"
“A man might have reasons, when

Changes Brought About in Food Associations
Nowhere else, save In these United
States, Is there such a blend of food
resources and contrasting food tastes
of different racial strains, writes Mu
riel Allen King In the New York H er
ald Tribune. In pre-war, pre-prohl-
bltlon days, there was great pride In
local cookery. Certain dishes were In
delibly associated w ith certain sec
tions of the United States. One went
to New England to eat clam chowder,
brown bread and baked beans; to
Texas to get tamales; to Virginia to
luxuriate on spicy baked ham and
crisp corn pone. T here were, possi
bly, tea rooms In Boston, Kansas City,
or In Greenwich village, which nobody

“Yon remember the other day how

asked George Turkey.
“I remember,” said John Turkey.
“I'v e ’ been thinking It over ever

“When we first heard the news," he

Crole.

have said, T know this man— he's so-

he paused and waved hls hand to a
passing taxicab— “before that we’re

T he three o f ns were presently In
the rooms wherein I bad first met the
dead man. Maythorne made some dis
coveries that were of use, I f of no
great apparent moment.
In an old
trunk he found some schoolbooks: on
the flyleaf of each was w ritten the
name Andrew Merchlson, with dates
these he handed to Crole.
“There's no doubt whatever that he
was Merchlson,” said Crole, turning
these things over. “I t ’s not likely that
he’d have kept these books else. Thess

Maythorne, however, found some pa

letters, all, w ith one exception, w rit

M r. Herm an Kloop, who appeared to
be a close personal friend of Maza

There was next to nothing
about business affairs In them— they
were chiefly filled w ith gossip, club
gossip, personal details, and such mat
ters: the sort of stuff exchanged by
old cronies. But they had this value,
observed Maythorne— he now had a
name and address In Cape Town to
