Cell Accommodation

“At the last unntlui meeting of the City Council it was recom- mended th-at "the incoming Coun- cll should take into consideration the much needed rte-modelling of the present inadequate cell ac- commodation."

"It was Roliiter and me. She wasn't. in at the killing at all. You've got me where you want ma. I'm going to swing. Butyotrve lot nothing on Sadie!“

“You'd better say nothing at the moment, Csrdew." the Chief said in a gentler tone. "You'll have an

“Well-that's that. Dolllmore," the Chief said when they were alone. “Rolliter and dardew are certainly for it and Fernandez will catch it too. We shall have to think about the two women."

“The mother was a very real help. But for her we shouldn't have nabbed Cardew and Rolllter this evening. I definitely promised her that I would acquaint you with the fact."

The Chief nodded: "Let me itavt: your report sometime fOnlOfftMYu l‘ll cullsidtr the ivhole tltitig. Ini the tncnntint: I sitoultl like to V011- grntulntc you on the \\‘u_y' you W: itandlcd your end of thc case. Dn- cros “"115 imprvSSGd as well. He spoke very highly of you." ;

“rust is time of you, sir. and ufi the Superintendent._ As you told Cartlcw, I merely did my duty-mt‘ tried to."

"It was rather mroe than that, Doilimore. By the way, Dr. Lovell Faber is rather anxious to havo a chat with you about what happen- ed this afternoon. He suggested that you might drop in at Harley Street to-nigltt. Miss Stennlng ‘is staying there ot the moment, I be- lleve."

"Thank you. sir." ‘

A taxi took Doiliniore to the dis- crcet street uf the doctors. He asked for Dr. Lovell Faber and the maid conducted hlim to a room cu the first floor.

Mary Slenning was standing by the fireplace.

"I'm afraid my cousin and his wife are dining out this evening." she said with a smi-le. “But they won't be long. Do sit down. I hoped you'd call this evening."

"Tlvank goodness you're safei" he exclaimed. _ ‘

"It was most unpleasant wnlie it lasted.“

"I was in that room this mom- ing." he said.

"I~know. And I know you've got the whole gang. The Assistant Com- missioner was positively eloquent about you." she said with a smile.

"I had a personal interest in the case," he said. "But. let's forget abOlit. it. I came here tonight no: to see Dr. Faber, but to see you. You can't imagine what I felt hke, Mary. when you disappeared. You see. I I love you."

"All the time I was ‘m there. I knew that you would get to me in some way. I wasn't really fright- ened But you must. be starving. l’ don't suppose you've had a meal this evening."

"No. But it can wait. I love you."

"And I love you. Why are you making such a fuss about it?" shC laughed and was in his arms.

She was still in his arms. ten minutes later, when Dr. Lovell Faber and his wife came into the room.

"Well, Weill” said the eminent doctor and regarded his wife comic- ally.

"Mary has promised to marry me." Dollimor- explained.

"Well. that calls for a bottle of champagne." the doctor said.

“And some sandwiches?’ Mary Dui- i-n, “I'm surr- h*z's starving."
