"He bad charm," said Frankle. "So had Molra," sbe added. Bobby blushed. "It was rery queer that all the time the clue to the whole thing should have been In the Vicarage," be said. "You do know, don't you, Frankle, that Carstalrs had actually written to Brans to Mrs. Roberts, that la?" Frankle nodded. "Telling her that he was coming to see ber and that he wanted information about Mrs, Templeton who be bad reason to bellere was a dangerous interna tional crook wanted by the police." "And then when he's pushed over the cliff she doesn't put two and two together!" said Bobby bitterly. . "That's because the man who went over the cliff was Prltchard," said Frankle. "That Identification was a very clever bit of work. It a man called Prltchard Is pushed over, bow could It be a man called Car stalrs T That'a bow the ordinary mind works." ""pHE funny thing Is that ahe rec ognlied Cayman," went on Bob by. "At least she caught a glimpse of blm when Roberts was letting him in and asked him who It was. And he said it was a Mr. Cayman and she said, 'Funny he's ti e dead spit of a gentleman I used to be In service with.'" "Can you beat It?" said Frankle.

And tben we got to the Vicarage and Molra was there and It auddenly came to me Suppose Molra was Mrs. Templeton?" "Very bright of you." "I'm aorry for Sylvia," said Frankle. "With Molra dragging Roger Into It, Its been a terrible lot )f publicity for her.
