"I was stewardess on the Run- rn"

“A few weeks before I came here." “where is your passport?"

As he spoke the door was qpened and the woman came back. In sil- ence she handed her passport to Dollimore.

"I was tired of it."

"I'm not sure." At last there was n suspicion oi hesitancy in her manner. _

“You've been given notice?" _

"Not actually. Mr. Wriiandel l8 still the tenant of the house and there's some of his furniture still here." '

“I never saw much of her. My Iwork was mainly downstairs. Miss Pachmann used to deal with oom- plaints and such like.” n

"Something seems to have bitten your young friend," Mrs. Iawes said

"I should have thought that able- bodied men could have found some- thing more useful to do. what are you looking for-hidden treasure?"

"In a way. And it may beito your advantage to help us find it.’

"Now you're beginning to talk sense."

"Whatever it is we're looking h! we shall find it-sooner or and when we do get lt, certain P60- ple will find themselves in a. very queer street indeed. Now, if you were to help us find it—n_o matter what part you had played inlildlns it-you might come out of it with a clean copy-book."

"I'm sorry, mister, but I don't know what you're talking about. And I don't tnink you d0. either. Still, you've got your Job to do. G0 on. ask me some more tom-fool questions. As a detective you strike me as being a very good carpenter. "I'm rather fond of wood-carving, as a, matter of fact," Ducros said with a smile. “Why are you so re- luctant to help us?"

"I'm not," she protested. “But you keep on about things which have murder. What before I came here?"

“Ah. here's my colleague,” the Superintendent said with a certain relief as Dollimore came back into the room.

"There's just one point, Mrs. Lawes. When exactly was it you came here?"

"I'm not going to be called a 11R!‘ by anyone," she cried excitedly. “Perhaps your daughter may be able to help us," Dollimore went

on. Her faoe fell: "I'm —I'm saying nothing," she blustered. "This woman came here a day or so after Mrs. Lewin was murderedf’. Dollimore said to Ducros. “The serv- ant overheard a conversation be- tween her and Pachmunn which made the relationship between them clear-they are mother and daugh- ter. The servant isn't quite as stupid as she looks and has told rne a. lot about this woman. Why did'y0\1 ‘come here?" he went on, “Wha work have you been doing here?"

You've had your chance.” Dol- imore said. There was a tap at the door and one of the men who had come down from the Yard entered the room. "We've found an old door in one of the cellars. sir," he said. "It seems to be locked but apparently it's been opened quite recently." Dollimore looked at the woman

Then suddenly the doctor died, and instead of leaving his wife and children a fortune to suyyiort the extravagant tastes he h ultiva-ted in them, their sole inheritance was a mountain of debt. He had loved his family. He could deny them nothing. And yet malice, itself could have done them no crueler wrong than to have raised them up to be rich pla girls and boys, and then leave them to face s. workaday world in wh ch they knew nothing by which to make a dollar.

I have seen so many young men and women who could not marry be- cause they had to take care of their fathers and mothers. Sc many you-n! married couples, barely able to support themselves and their own child- ten, who were sunk when the weight of their parents was laid upon their shoulders. Sometimes. of course. this i: unavoidable. Sometimes a man and woman have never been able to earn more than enough for ther daily needs, but in the eat majority of cases the dependent arents are dependent on their chidren merely because they were waste ul and éX- gruvdagant and too self-indulgent to deny themselvu everything they de-

Now I hold no brief t htwads. I think that no vioe is more sordid than avarice. I think tha you can hold a penny before your eyes until it grows so bi that it shuts out the vision of everything that is beautiful an sweet an tender and lovely in life. But, all the some, saving is a virtue and spending everything you make is . It is dishonest. It is the meanest sort of stealing because its robs in the sacred name cf friendship and family affection and duty. It steals from those who have no possib e way of protecting themselves from you.
