From somewhere close by came the rumble of buses, and the Insistent hooting of cars. Two or three pigeons were strutting about In the roadway, while a desul tory stream of clerks, porters and office boys hurried or sauntered by on their respective errands. None of them paid the smallest attention to me, and rousing myself from the kind ut semi-trance Into which I bad fallen, I started off along the pavement Whro ! was going to I hadn't the least Idea: all I wanted was to Snd some quiet place close by where 1 could sit down, and where no newspaper reporter was likely to discover me. I was nearly at the end of the street when a decorative sign, jut ting out from one of the doorways. attracted my attention. On It sldered it more prudent to wait until 1 was actually acquitted, tils letter, for all Its expression of good will and offer of assistance, was at least a month too late, and Id spite of Mr. Cresswell's charitable advocacy, 1 felt no particular grati tude stirring inside me as I ran my eye down Its stilted and character istic phrases. t was Just wondering why be should be In such a remarkable hurry to see me when the waitress reappeared with my order. She prosonted me In addition with a little pencilled Blip stating the amount of my bill and, putting Seymour out of my head for the time being, I proceeded to turn my attention to the more congenial subject of hot buttered toast. It was while I was in the act of helping myself to a second piece that I heard sounds on the farther side of the Japanese screen. Some fresh arrivals a young man and a girl to Judge by their voices were entering the compartment next td mine. They gave their Instructions to the waitress with what seemed to me an unnecessary amount of noise, and not feeling In the most 'ROYAL NEIGHBORS OF MEDFORD TAKE PART IN LODGE'S BIRTHDAY t 1 FA KIlUVA K 1 1 f p''''iir pi Sf It m 'jSii I 1 hesitated a moment, then went in.

First Floor," and underneath was what appeared to be a fanciful portrait of that venerable monarch, pointing encouragingly up the staircase. I hesitated a second, and then coming to the conclusion that this would probably serve my purpose as well as anywhere else, I turned In at the entrance. After a short climb 1 arrived at my destination a discreet and rest fully lighted apartment, set around with comfortable chairs and small spindle-legged tables. Each table was divided from Its neighbor by a Japanese paper screen, the privacy of customers being further ensured by the presence of artificial palms sot In pots down the centre of the room. Just Inside the door a tall young lady with honoy colored hair was presiding over a desk. IT was precisely the type of place tbat I was looking for, and walk ing across to the extreme end, I turned Into a vacant compartment. Kxccpt for a stout man with a bald head, whom I passod on my way along. I appoarod to be the solitary patron. A waitress arrived as I was set tling myself down, and having given her an order for tea and toast, I pulled out Seymour's letter from my pocket and began to road it through tor a second time. It was the only communication I had had from him since the day of my arrest for all those four grim weeks not so much as a word of sympathy, not even a brief line of encouragement. Knowing him as I did I had not been altogether surprised. I could well Imagine how bitterly he must have resented the unpleasant pub Holly thrust upon him by our near relationship, and how anxious he must have boon to dissociate him self In every possible way from a man accused of a peculiarly brutal and sordid murder. Dr-fore sending me even this be lated message lie had evidently con- amiable of moods I anathematised them silently for disturbing my peace. CHAIRS crenked. followed by a rather common female giggle. "I don't know how you can stand It, Perce. It would give me tho creeps." There was the scrape of a match. "Well, people are different of course. It's always been a sorter hobby o' mine goln to murder trials. 1 wouldn't hare missed this ono, not for a fiver." My hand, which was conveying the bit of toast to my mouth, stopped short In mld-alr. "What was It all nbout?" Inquired the girl's voice. "I did see something In the Sunday paper, but 1 couldn't be bothered to read It "The Hol land Park Mystery- wasn't that what they called It?" "That's right. Case of a chnp being found lying In his study with his head bashed In. They arrosd this bloke Trench some time ago, but the trial only came on Inst Monday. I been there every day not missed a blooming word of It." "Was It excltln'?" "Not iinlf. You ought to hnve come along with me. Holler than the pictures and nothing to pay Into the bnrgnln." I roplaced my tonst on tho plnte, and taking out my handkerchief wiped my llugors. This dialogue seemed to require my full attention. "What was the trouble?" demand ed the girl. "Anything to do with a young lady 7" "Nothing of that sort. Question o' money according to the prosocu tlon, but 1 shouldn't be surprised moself If there wns a bit more be hind It." "How do you moan?" "Well, Osborne, the chap who wns done In, was an old schoolfel low of this chap Trench. Been In Amorlca for some years and coma over hero for a visit.
