CHAPTER VIII

DOUBTS ABOUT NOLESCUE

Just as Superintendent Beck and his henclunnn, mspector Graves, had anticipated Peter Oxtmfs table was, 1f anything, beyond ex- Dectationn

‘They dined well and they dmank . well. and Beck knew 100d mm when he rolled It around his palate.

In addition to Oxton nntl two Scotland Yard officers, there ‘had been lvlrs. Oxton, s, gracious ‘and utterly charming ntlddle-aged lwoman with a pleasant plump ‘demeanour and a mass of soft.

Beside her .nt Brenda Oxton. as flne a. spect- men of young British womanhood as Beck ever Iemembered having seen, and since he formed this conclusion before the butler had bet-run to dispense the wine In generous measure, it had to be ad- mitted that the Superintendent's . judgment was infallible. Brenda Oxton, at twenty-six, ‘had not acquired so much sophis- tication that she had failed to be ithrllled at last. night's events at ‘the store. Her father had given her flrst-hand information, and this had been ooloulfully supple- mented by the accounts she had rend In the evening newspapers. The newspapers had accorded the affair more prominence than they migiht have been willing to give m the resignation of a Cabinet The presume of the Superinten- dent and his Inspector st the dinner-table had crowned a day of iplcusant thrills, and she listened the discussion with wrapt attention. Fur one thing, Superintendent Beck wos muprlsingly unlIke the Scot-land Yard officer of her Im- aginatlotn, which, In all fairness, had been occasionally stimulated by the reading of crimetictlon, In which she discovered that Scotland Yard reared a. race of supermen who had but to glance at a corpse to know who had committed the crime. and for what motive the dccd had been done.

Beck reminded her of a middle- class family man who had worked all dny tn a City office, tottlng up endless columns of uninteresting digits and returning home each evening to whatever domestic hobbies hc had.

Inspector Gnne, too. didn't. look in the least official. His manners ‘were mlld and his mien rather serious. But nevertheless he didn't look as if his mind was be- ing over-exercised with crime. She 11nd noticed his type often In City cafes at lunch-time poring over newspaper crossword puzzles, and occasionally biting the end of ht: lead pencil to coax Inspiration.

The Superintendent, after hav- int: excused himself to the ladle; for talking shop. as he termed It, ‘asked Peter Oxton a number of lquestions. But the most important question was the filling of the vacancy by means of which Nikolas Nolcscue had received his , recent appointment.

l‘ I think I can explain that point, ‘Mr. Beck, Oxton had readily con- sented. It was like this. We had ‘been withoutc manager In the ‘Chinese department for some time. The man we had “left. t0 I522? cheiii? of line our agencies In Paris. He was a good man-good and reliable, and st; that time we wanted a good man In Parts, when we had found com-

bushes. About six weeks ago We

had a letter from our main 080M

at. Shanghai, In v/lzidl he Informed us that a man named Nikolas

Nolescue. who had spent s number

of years in China, and who was

reputed to be one of the foremost- authorltles in his line. had sot out for EurOPB. apparently-so our agent's information ran-to obtain

a post, In London.

The reason for his departure was given that Nolescue had grown a trifle weary of the life out East, and vlriuhed for a change. More than that, gentlemen. our agent said that he had taken the liberty of providing Nolescue with a. letter

,of introduction to the finn should the at any time find himself In ‘l London. I About five weeks ago Nolescue l sent up his card to me at. the store. and I saw hlm. I put certain ‘questions to him, and asked for pertain refrences which were pr0~ lduced. Everything appeared satis- Ii factory. The man undoubtedly l was an authority on silks. I my- Jself am not entirely mmcquainted I with the subject. I have not grown up wlth the businws without. learn- llng a great deal, and I was ccn- l vinccd that Nolescue was the man > we had been waiting for, I asked hlm whether or not he was free. and after we had settled the terms of his engagement, I arranged for him to have fllll control of the Chinese silk department. During the time he was wlth us I had never once had the slightest reason, to doubt the wisdom of his judg- ment In anything.

Beck had looked thoughtful dur- ing Peter Oxtoifs recital. Super- ficially It appeared perfectly strnigh-tforuwsm, but there was a

I suppose, Mr. Oxton, you had no cause t0 doubt the authenticity 0f your Shanghai agent's letter to you recommending this man, and, I take it, you were equally satisfied with the letter of Introduction Nolescue produced at. the first In- terview yOu had with him?

For the first time since they had been talking Peter Oxton looked startled.

Why-no! he hesitaicd. Why should we? We'd had conummc- atlons from our agent before.

But you could not, be quite satis- fled that the matter was genuine? Beck asked the further - question with a feeling that he might be on the fringe of a new development.

Now that you come to mention It, Mr. Beck. I suppose I ctmldnt If you mean did we seek to obtain confirmation of the letters authen- tlclty.

So you didn't do that, then?

No Mr. Beck. we didn't, and for tlhat: matter I don't. suppose any- one else would have done either. Wehednoreason to suspectlts being anything other than genulne, and In my own mind, Mr. Beck, I'm convinced that we're barking up the wrong tree by Imagining It might not be.

I s you could even at this late date, gain such confirmation?

We could cable to Lancing, of course, If you think It necessary.

It shall be done first thing in the momlng, he agreed.

Beck murmured hIs thanks. I-Ic looked mt his watch. The dinner had been excellent. He felt, an altogether different man.

winter wlll be a poor one for west- urn Arctic trapper-s. Sal's “EDP?!” Andy Hay. I-Ils reason ls that “the zabbit crop is poor." There are few lemmings and Arctic hare to be away when

the food supply is low.

Andy made this obseryatlon on his suntmer shopping trp 0f One week at Aklavlk during which he bought enough supplies to last him tall next summer. He lolided it all aboard Art Ranklns airplane and was flown home with his six clogs as fellow passengers.

At 40 the lanky former cowpun- cher from Great Falls, Montana, still enjoys the trappeI-‘s life he has I led since 1922. I-Ie ls glad the alr- plune has come to the north coun- try for his trap lines are 200 miles east of Anderson river. By trail or boat he would have to move his supplies 500 miles, taking weeks. By plane he can take them to his camp In n. couple of hours.

Th‘s was the first year Andy has gone home by plane Instead of schooner. “It glves me a. Chaim! W put up dog feed." he said. "and If I went In by boat I wouldn't. have

time." Dogs Get Alrslck

The dogs gave the trapper and his pilot considerable trouble. They have t0 be starved for two days be- fore flylng or they get sirslck. Starving makes them cranky and they fight. If they get close to each other, so they are chained apart.

This was pm of the carso that wen‘. to Anderson river: 400 pounds of flour, two cases of canned fruit. two of canned vegetables, I00 pounds of fresh potatoes, 60 pounds of on'ons, a case and a half of preserved eggs, 15 pounds each of ten. and coffee, a. bale of dry 80005 including 24 pairs 0f 500145. WW0 cults of underwear, six shirt-i. W0 parkss, two pairs of mukluks.

Andy also took s. knapsack of toi- . let articles, three tents. I1 WbOEBB-h. three pairs of snowshoes, stoveplpes, three guns. extra. tubes and bat- teries lor his all-wave radio set; and "I00 pounds of reading.

H.s "reading" consisted chiefly of old magazines his friends had

Andy and four others trap 0n the Anderson river. ArldY chiefly 501‘ marten and colored fox. He has 900 traps and covers his uea by d08- team. Hts most expensive dog cost $75, the cheapest 835. but his fav- orlte Is Old Joe who cost- $50 and ls l0 years old. Andy favors dogs from the eastern Arctic because they need less food and are Wimb- er than those from the western P!" of the northland. Points llainst enstem dogs, he says, are that they don't pull as hard as those from the west. and they arc less affect- lonate.
