"He'd gone up to London very early before anyone was up. And then I said about not liking to write my name to anything, and Gladys said It was all right because Mr. Elford was there." "And Mr. Savage the gentleman died when? "Next morning as ever was, ma'am. He shut bimselt up In bis room tbat night and wouldn't let inyone go near him, and when Gladys called him In the morning be w&a all stiff and dead, and a letter propped up by his bedside 'To the Coroner,' it said. Oh, it gave Gladys t regular turn! And two months later Mrs. Templeton told me she ras going abroad to live. But she got Be a very good place up north with big wages, and she gave me a nice present and everything. A very nice lady, Mrs. Templeon." Frankle rose. . xm4 Bobby "Well," she said, "It's been very alee to hear all this." She slipped a note out of her purse. "You must let me leave you a er little prosent I've taken up so much of your time." "Well, thank you kindly, I'm sure, ma'am. Good day to you and your good gentleman." Frankle blushed and retreated ra ther rapidly. Bobby followed ber after a few minutes. "Well," he said, "we seem to have got at all she knows." "Yes," said Frankle. "And It hangs togethor." "So we come back to the old prob-lem--what on earth are Basslngton (Trench ft Co. so afraid of our dis covering?" "Nothing strikes you ss odd par ticularly?" "No, I don't think so or at least only one thing. Why did Mrs. Tem pleton send out for the gardener to come and witness the will, when the house-parlormaid was In the house? Why ' didn't they ask the parlor mold?" "It's odd your saying that, Frankle," said Bobby. His voice sounded so queer that Frankle looked at him In surprise. "Why?" "Because 1 stayed behind to ask Mrs. Pratt for Gladys name and ad dress." "Well?" "The parlormaid's name was Evans." F -HANKIE gasped. "Oil. Bobby," we're getting there at last!" "The same thing must have struck Carstalrs. And moreover I bellove he enme to Wales for that reason. Gladys Evans Is a Welsh name Evans was probably a Welsh girl. He might have been following her to Marchholt And someone was follow ing him and so he never got to her." "Why dhln't they ak Evans?" said Frnnkle. "There must be a reason. With a couple of maids In the house, why send out for a gardener?" "Perhaps because both Chudlelgh and Albert Mere were chumps, whereas Evsns wss rather a sharp girl" "It can't be only tint. Mr. Elford was there and he's quite shrewd." 1 APART 35 YEARS NORTON, Ku (UP) Mrs. Fannie Tntllock, 81 ini, Ku., and John 8tl. Lin wood, Km.., rod aeveral hundred mllea aa atranrre on iho aanwi bvia.

Subsequent conversation revealed they were brother and aiKter and had Cot seen each other for as year a, (JH MM1 XUbUte. waul Kla. Suddenly eba stopped. "Bobby," she said, "If you're stay ing in a house with two servant which do you tip?" "The bouBe-parlormald, of course," said Bobby, surprised. "One nei" tips a cook. One never sees her, for one thing." "No, and she never sees you. At most she might catch a glimpse of you If you were there tor some time. But a house-parlormaid waits on you at dinner and calls you and bands you coffee." "What are you getting at, Frankle?" "Tbey couldn't have Evans wit nessing tbat will because Evans would have known that It wasn't Mr. Savage who was making It." "Good Lord, Frankle, what do you mean? Who was It then?" "DASSINGTON-FFRENCH, el O course! Don't you see, he Imper sonated Savage? I bet It waa Basslng-ton-ffreneh who went to that doctor and made all that fuss about having cancer. Then the lawyer Is sent for a stranger who doesn't know Mr. Savage but who will be able to swear that be saw 'Mr. Savage' sign thai will, and It's witnessed by two people, one of whom hadn't seen him befor and the other an old man who wai probably pretty blind and who prob .' r 1,1 T"i'i VN -llli ably had never seen Savage either. Now do you see?" "But where was the real Savage all that time?" "Oh, he arrived all right, and then I suspect they drugged him and put him In the attic, perhaps, and kept him there for twelve hours while Basslngton-ffrench did bis Imperson ation stunt Then he was put back In his bed and given chloral, and Evans finds him dead in the morn ing." "My God, I believe you've hit it, Frankle!" said Bobby. "But ona( thing wa must do. Find Evans." Frankle groaned. "That's going to make it even mora difficult."' "How about the post office?" sug gested Bobby. Tbey were Just passing It. Frankle darted Inside and bought a book of stamps, commented on the weather and then said: "But I expect you alwaya have better weather here than wa do. I live In Walea Marchbolt You wouldn't believe the rain we have." The young woman behind the counter said that last Bank Holiday It had rained somothlng cruel. Frankle said. "There's someone In Marchbolt who comes from this part of the world. I wonder If you know her. Her name was Evans Gladys Evans." The young woman was quite un suspicious. "Why, of course," she said. "She was In service here. At Tudor Cot tage. But she didn't come from these parts. She came from Wales, and she went back there and married Roberts her name la now." "That'a right." said Frankle. "You can't give me her address, I sup pose?" "Well, now," the other replied, "I believe I can. Walt a minute now." She went away and rummaged In a corner. Presently she returned with a piece of paper In her hand. "Here you are," she said, pushing It across the counter. Bobby and Frankle read It to gether: Mrs. Robrrti, Tht Tiroragt, ilarrhboll, Wales.
