There had been u. sort of leer in

voice as he had said it: a. note that even a-t the time Peter nad disliked. At the time. he had put it down to Mr. Mnntes coarse mari- nerlsms; but. now he read a ditier- ent. sianirlcance into it.

Mr. Monte had sot the inform- ation about (i0lden Days from err John Carr himself. And the card. which Mr. Xoss/s instincts or sleu- thlrul had promoted him to purloin indicated that the irizoi-mation had not been given wiliin y.

“Your trouble. Mr. Xosa." said Peter considerately. "is that you have too much imagination. I ouznt to throw you out on your ear tor your remarks about Miss Carr. The only thins that restrain: me is that I think you really mean well. But the whole thing is fantastic. I'm not lzoina to haniz. and neither is Sir John Carr. The police are prob-
