“Ere. let's cut the funny stuff and get this straight, Doc. You say someones been here about Man- nisher? Someone from the family? And what did you tell him, eh‘! '

Zamboroff shook his head.

“How should I know? searched everywhere."

The big man appeared defeated. Ha stared at Zamboroff almost un- bclievingly. He had a shrewd sus- picion that he was being double- crossed, and ugly ideas popped up into his mind.

"If you say so, that's Oka by me, Doc. But you're holding ou on me. You don't have to tell me that. I'm good at reading faces. What's this guy Mannisher like. anyhow?"

"I am a novice at description," pleaded Zamboroff. "If I were to tell you I doubt very much whether you would be much wiser. Now, if Only you had come an hour ago I could perhaps have given you a photograph of m mlSSillg atient. Phat has gone. he man 0 has ‘ust left has taken it away with

"If I had, my friend, it would be yours this moment, es lally with such a forceful remin er as this." Zamboroff nodded towards the gun. "Of course," he add-ed, as though the thought had just occurred to him, "1 coiil go and make quite sure

get on Clive Mannishers trad. The lg man and his companion he had lately met at the gates of Zambcr- offs establishment locked two tough customers and Gerry had no par- ticular deslre to fall foulof either 0f mom. The big man carried a gun. For that maL-tzr so did Gerry, buti that was for emergency use only. Not to be brandishsd about as the big man had been doing.

Gerry tried hard to connect the pair with the thefts of the diamond and the pearls. If they had taken up the case from that point, how was it they knew where Clive Man- nisher had once been? The more Gerry thought about it the more gergflexed he became. He certainly

a n't come back to Europe for a holiday to be given a headache like this. What he did realize, of course, was that if Zamiboroff had disclosed to the bi man that he, Gerry, had the onl nowri photograph of Clive Mannis er thevwoul undoubtedly get on to his trail as quickly as they could, and from what Gerry had lately seen cf the pair he had no desire at all to encounter them.

Back in his room at the hotel he locked the door and crossing to the whidow pulled aside the heavy cur- tains so that he could all the better see the photograph Dr. Zamboroff had loaned him,

It was not a particularly good Erint but nevertheless Gerry imag-

ed that should he ever discover the subject of it, recognition would not be long delayed. For a long time GemDaynton continued to stare at t t photograph. Hi5 trained mind impresse upon itself every little detail s0 that. should the cc- casion ever arise there would be no neeesity to compare the picture with the original. He realized. too, that it might be impolite for him to continue. in view of what had hap- pened, to carry the photograph about with him and his ‘eves roved the room in search of a. hiding place that would be tolerably secure Walnut intrusion.

The room offered small t of safe hiding. Then is eyes alighted on the broad hem of the heavy curtains that he had pulled aside frcm the window s ace. Tak- ing his pocket. knife he silt one end of the hem sufficiently to admit the insertion of the photcgraph. He. manipulated the hem with his fing- ers until the piece of card was well away from the open end of the hem. Gerry felt safer after that.

But there was another uoint that troubled Gerry. lit had to be assum- ed-and on this point he had ulte forgotten to question D1". Zam r- orf—that. on his escape Mannisher would have little or no funds. If this were the case he would be unable to seek refuge at any of the hotels or pensions. What did this lmo/prtant fact reveal? It meant that either Mannisher had met friends WHO

were concealing him or he had in some way managed to leave the coun.ry and that he was in London and was himself the perpetrator of the robberies. _

If this premise was accurate the evidence of the parlour-maid at Leverton Grange could be discount- ed unless Clive had impersonated a woman and worn a red - clcak. Thoughts of the red cloak brought his mind hack again to the girl. It was strange. he thought, that she should be over here, too; and the young man who had been with her when he had first met them. It was even more odd that she should have been wearin a crimson cloak on the night the erton Diamond had been stolen. Gerry cursed the Files for impeding his progress in ithat taxi-oaib in Bruses yesterday. If it hadn't been for that temporary hold-up he might have been able to discover the girl's whereabouts. Now. she was in lost t0 him as. ap- palrreritly, was Clive Mannisher hlrn- se .

Another line of reasoning occurred to him. Supposing the gir and her companion were harbouring Clive Mannisher and that he had ast- ually put them u Gerry started at h ow-n theory. It sounded probable. More than that; it, was possible. f-Ie recalled that the girl and her companion on the boat had carried onl, llgh-t luggage. That fact might easi y s t that they had been making o y a temporary stay in London-sufficient only for them to effect the robberies and then return to Belgium to hand over the spoils to Clive Mannisher. "By Jove!" exclaimed Gerry, ad- dressing the wardrobe. "I bell that's what has really happened." Despite the stimulatin

this theory, Gerry realize the ho - lessness of his own position. Uri res he could lomte the rl and the young man he woul have small hopes of locating the whereabouts of Clive Mannisher. Then there were the other two wiho were inte

in Clive. There had, he recalled. been something singularly sinister especially about the big man with the gun.

Gerry ran his fingers thrc his hair in his peirplaxity. Outsi e his window the sun was shining, drenching the pavements and the rooftops opposite in a. shower of gold; It was little use, he argued Siflymg in his room.
