Chapter 41
ROSE CHUDLEIGH
A WAITRESS had Just approach
ed, bearing toast
' "Do you know who that 1st"
frankl asked. .
The waitress regarded the photo
graph. "Now I've seen the gentle
nan Iff the gentleman who had
Todor Cottage, Mr. Templeton.
they've gone away now some
where abroad, believe."
"What aort of man wai he?"
"I really couldn't ay. They didn't
tome down here very often Just
week-enda now and then. Nobody
law much of him. Mrs. Templelon
was a very nice lady. But they
hadn't had Tudor Cottage very long
only about all months when a
very rich gentleman died and left
Mrs. Templeton all hla money, and
they went to live abroad. They
never sold Tudor Cottage, though.
I think tbey sometimes lend It to
people for week-ends. But I don't
suppose with all that money they'll
ever come back here and live In It
themselves."
"They had a cook called Rose
Chudlelgb, didn't they?" asked
frankie.
But the girl seemed uninterested
In cooks. Being left a fortune by a
rich gentleman waa what really
stirred her Imagination. In answer
to Frankle's question she replied
- that she couldn't say, aha waa sure,
and withdrew carrying an empty
toast-rack.
"That's all plain sailing," aald
Frankie. "The Caymans have given
op coming here, but they keep the
place on for the convenience of the
gang."
They agreed to divide the labor
as Bobby had suggested. Frankie
went off In the Bentley, having
smartened herself up by a few local
purchases, and Bobby went off In
quest of Albert Mere, gardener.
' They met at lunch time.
"Well?" demanded Bobby.
. Frankie shook her head. "For
gery's out of the question." She
- spoke In a dispirited voice. "I spent
a long time with Mr. BIford he's
rather an old dear. He'd got wind
of some of our doings last night
and waa wild to hear a few details.
I don't suppose tbey get much ex
citement down here. Anyway, I soon
got him eating out of my hand.
, . "Then I discussed the Savage
case pretended I'd met some of the
Savage relatione and that they'd
hinted at forgery. At that my old
dear bristled up absolutely out of
the questlonl It wasn't a question
of letters or anything Ilka that.
' "He saw Mr. Savage himself, and
Mr. Savage Insisted on the will's be-
- Ing drawn up then and there. Mr.
Elford wanted to go away and do
It properly you know how they do
sheets and sheets all about
nothing"
"l don't know," aald Bobby. "I've
never made any wills."
"I have two. The second was
thla morning. I had to have some
excuse for seeing a lawyer."
"Whom did you leave your money
to?"
- -"Tpu."
"That waa a bit thoughtless,
wasn't It? It Roger Basslngton
ffrench succeeded In bumping you
off should probably be hanged for
It!"
"1 NEVER thought of that," said
' Frankie. "Well, as I was say
ing. Mr. Savage was so nervous and
wrought up that Mr. Eiford wrote
out the will then and there, and the
ervant and the gardener came and
witnessed It, and Mr. Elford took It
way with him for sate keeping."
"That does seem to knock out
forgery." agreed Bobby.
"I know. Tou can't have forgery
when you've actually seen the man
sign his name. As to the other busi
nessmurder. It's going to be hard
to And out anything about that now.
The doctor, who was called In has
died since. The man we saw laat
Bight Is a new man. He's been here
only about two months."
"We seem to have rather an un
fortunate number of deaths," said
Bobby,
"Why. who .else Is dead?"
, "Albert More." v
"Do you think they've all been
put out of the way!"
"That seems rather wholesale.
We might gtve Albert Mere the
benefit of the doubt he was seven-J-two,
poor old man."
BRAIN FOOD IDEA

that (Ish food 1 a bono to mental
faculties may not be so far from the
truth, according to experiments con
ducted at Elgin hospital tor the In

Psychiatrist affiliated with the
hospital experimented for 12 months
with various diets and their effects
on male patients. One a roup received
a diet heavy In vitamins, A, B-l, B-2
and D. as well a Iron, as found In
liver wxuacts snd cod liver ell. An
other group wits given the regular
hospital fare.

All rit,u., said Frankie. "I'll al
low you Natural Causes In his ease.
Any luck with Rose Chudlelgh?"
"Yes. After she left the Temple
tons she went to the north of Eng
land to a place, but she's come back
and married a man ' down here
whom It seems she's been walking
out with for the last seventeen
years. Unfortunately she's a bit of
a nitwit. She doesn't seem to re
member anything about anyone.
Perhaps you could do something
with her."
"I'll have a go," said Frankie.
"I'm rather good with nitwit.
Where's Badger, by the way?"
"Good Lord, I've forgotten all
about him," said Bobby.
He got up and left the room, re
turning a few minutes later.
"He was still asleep," he ex
plained. "He's getting up now."
"Well, we'd better go and aee the
nitwit," aald Frankie, rising. ."And
then I must buy a toothbrush and a
nightgown and a sponge and a tew
other necessities of civilized exist
ence. 1 waa so close to Nature laat
night that I didn't think about any
of them. I just stripped off my
outer covering and fell upon the
bed."
"Let's go and talk to Rose Chud
lelgb." said Frankie.
Rose Chudlelgh, now Mrs. Pratt,
lived in a small cottage that seemed
to be overflowing with china dogs
and furniture. Mrs. Pratt herself
waa a bovine-looking woman of am
ple proportions, with Ash-like eyes
and every Indication of adenoids.
"You see. I've come back," said
Bobby breezily.
Mrs. Pratt breathed hard and
looked at them both Incuriously.
YOTJ were with her for aome
time, weren't you?" asked
Frankie.
Were I which, ma'am?" '
'With Mra. Templeton for somi .
time," said Frankie, speaking slow
ly and clearly.
"I wouldn't aay that, ma'am. Onlj
two months."
'Oh I I thought you'd been will
her longer than that."
"That waa Gladys, ma'am. Tb
house-parlormaid. She waa then
six months."
'There were two of you?"
'That's right House-parlormaid
she was, and I waa cook,"
"You were there when Mr. Sav
age died, weren't you?"
"I beg your pardon, ma'am?"
"You were there when Mr. Sav'
age died?" .
"Mr. Templeton didn't die at
least 1 haven't heard so. He weni
abroad." ,
"Not Mr. Templeton Mr, Sav
age," eald Bobby.
Mrs. Pratt looked at him vacantly.
"The gentleman who left her all
the money," said Frankie. ' -
A gleam of something like In
telllgence passed across Mrs. Pratt's
face. ,
"Ob, yes ma'am the gentleman
there was the Inquest on,"
"That's right," said Frankie, de
lighted with ber success. "He used
to come and stay quite often, dldn'i
he?"
"I couldn't say aa to that, ma'am
I'd only just come, you see. Gladys
would know."
"But you had to witness his will
didn't you?"
Mrs. Pratt looked blank.
"You went and saw him sign a
paper, and you had to sign It too?'
Again the gleam of Intelligence
"Yes, ma'am. Me and Albert I'd
never done such a thing before, and
I didn't lltfe It. I said to Gladys. '1
don't like signing a paper, and
that's a fact,' and Gladya she said
It must be all right becauae Mr. El
ford waa there and be waa a very
nice gentleman as well as being a
lawyer."
"What happened exactly?" asked
Bobby.
. "1 beg your pardon, air?"
"Who called you to sign youi
name?" asked Frankie.
'The mistress, sir. She came Into
the kitchen and aald would 1 go out
side and call Albert and would we
both come up to the best bedroom
(which she'd moved out of for Mr.
the gentleman the night before)
and there was the gentleman sitting
up In bed he'd come back from
London and gone stralgbt to bed-
and a very Ill-looking gentleman be
was. I hadn't seen him before, but
he looked something ghastly. And
Mr. Elford was there too. and he
poke very nice and said there waa
nothing to be afraid of and I was
to sign my name where the gentle
man bad signed hla. and 1 did and
put 'cook' after it and the address.
And Albert did the same,

Commonplace graham bread, sold in
thousands of bakeries every day
throughout the world, was so despised
by bakera when it woe first Intro
duced that they led a riot demonstra
tion against Sylvester Oraham, the
man who Introduced It, while he was
lecturing on the subject In Boston.
Oraham was a diet reformer of al
most a century ago. He was a strong
vegetarian and claimed first of all In
temperance could be prevented by a
straight vegetnble diet. Later he en
larged this claim to state that dis
eases of ell kinds could be cured by
going on a vegetable diet.
