WHAT HAPPENED AT MUNTALBAN

B! PETER BEATIJICI e0++++0++ooo+oo+o+o++o+~

"By the way. didn't your last ten- ant make a rather spectacular exit from this mortal scene? I have an acquaintance who used to know the lady a little. and I remember ner uidress was some mews ofl Bede-st."

The man hesitated in doubt now to treat the inquiry.

"Yes. Miss Daunt did have the flat. but the accident didn't happen there. She scarcely used it. She took it on a six months lease. but. poor lady. she only lievd five or six weeks of the time."

Severn laughed. "Oh. don't worry‘ we shant be disturbed by ghosts.’ He slipped his hand possesslvciy into Molly's arm. "Come alrmg and well examine the place in detail.“

In the street he said softly into her ear: "So she took Ihe flat fiir- inished. five or six weeks before she

died And she took it on a six months lease, which seems to indic- ate that she paid out a hundred and fifty pounds. And this happened- do you notice the implication? — Jiisi aiicr her second visit to Mon- lalbau." I "She was bleedingmore than one -member of that family," said Molly with conviction.

"Ithiiik so. Yes. I think so. And rct if she had paid into her bank another large sum the four huiiilied ind forty pounds she banked was the survival oi a good deal more ilian five hundred. What did she do with ilie rest?"

"Spent it." said Molly promptly. > "Qn ivhal? You must provide ine lrminmc intuition."

“Well. first and foremost. I should say’ clothes. You see. she was iii- icntiiiis: to marry Charles. She must have bought dresses galore."

“But you forget that all ine dressing-up in the world could be lil di$2lllS€ for those who already knew who Mailia Daunt really was"

"N0. I don't forget. They didn't mutter. ‘The person she had lo keep in with was Charles himself. All this elaborate setting was for nis benefit. I'm not suggesting. mii-d.| that lie wouldn't have fallen for hrr.

"I wonder what happened to her private possessions." said Severn Ivansivcly. "T‘h.<~re‘.= a ioh for Wal- drn He could find out viihal value in kind she hFld-JMUIPF and all."

"He could. and he must.

“Nothing. You stand to win much too certainly. Poor creature, fancy going to all that trouble to capture Charles. She could have done it lllsl. as well with a clerk's job and last year's hat."

They went in, The flat justified its price. No one would have guessed from the cottage dress of it. outside how large it was. There was an en- trance hall. beautifully panelled in a light golden wood. a reception room. a dining room. a very well-ap- pointed kitchen. a bathroom in the coolest of jade-green and silver. two large bedrooms. and two small ones. All of which they examined with]

considerable interest; and. Molly was speechless. i "Do you know. Iowrence." sne

laughed. “I think we ought. to take up blackmail as a career."

"It certainly seems to pay. But the shame of it is. all the suggestion of Mailla ls gone."

They were standing in the princi- pal bedroom. Mailla would certainly have chosen no other to enshrine her person. Severn moved about the room restlessly. opening and closing drawers in the dressing-table and in the little writing-desk. "Nothing- not. a scrap of paper. Do you know something, Molly? She must have had a maid. 111a place would d0 with two. but lets be modest. and say one. I wnnder—I wooden-What happened to Mailials maid?"

But. that. was indeed something to wonder over.

"The telephone!" cried Severn suddenly. snapping his finaers. and walked briskly lnt0 the hall where it stood upon a polished table. Molly followed him, mystified.

"It. will be cut off. of course."

“Does it matter? ‘There may still be a ‘phone book. and there might be some notes." There was more than a directory. There was a pal for notes. He flicked back the lea- ther cover of this message-hour, which was attached to the stand of the telephone. and revealed a mass of half a. dozen sheets folded back. a few torn out. and then the virgin pad. "You see? She was an untidy person-wt else these were messages to which she wanted to refer again. Let's have a look what we've got."

He sat down to it. and unfolded with care the first crumpled page. “The unmistakable Mailia. She had to remember a fitting at Marcan- wnla’s at three-thirty on May 27th. That was after she came into her fortune. otherwise she couldn't have afforded to venture inside that bri- gand's doors. And she made an ap- pointment with Georges to have her hair done on the 25th.

"Is that scrawl Mailiab?" asked Molly. looking over hts shoulder.

"Surely. The dates are all crsori- al." And at. that moment e had reached the last used page oi the book. and they saw a hand which was certainly not Mailiirs. The pa}?! was smooth. the hand demure. “ e maid answered the telephone." said Severn. And a. moment later: "This is one messaqre Mallla never received. It was taken on the eve of her death-two days before she was to leave Montalban. Can you beat that?"

They stared at it together, for it sounded an odd. an ominous note. -
