unruly nerves. The place had an atmosphere. there was no doubt or that. He had to force himsoli to remember it was Just a house in In ordinary London suburb.

The assurance was not long- lived. 11 what he himself had told Mary was correct, they were about to call on I xnurdaa-er . . .

Suddenly Mary gripped his arm. It was all Jim could do to keep from crying out. For the brooding silence had been broken. Quite close at hand, there was I thin, long-drawn wall. It came irom behind the hedge, on their right.

Mary whispered Ihakilyz "It sounded like a. child."

"Come on." Jim groped (or her hand. He spoke with a resolution he was tar from ieeling. "What- ever it was, its no business of ours. We've got to see Cordsr."

The strange cry waI now re- peated. but when they resumed their progress' towards the house they again had the ieeling of someone or-. something -- stead- ily keeping pace with them.

It was I relief to gain the shel- ter or the porch. Jim round an electric bell, and savagely press- ed it. They could hear its insis- tent. ringing inside the house.- Then there were slow, heavy foot- steps. The door opened.

”I recognise her," I thin, arro- gant voice assured him. "Miss Lincoln, as you doubtless know. is I distant relative oi mine.” The voice paused, then went on bland- ly: "What you may not know is that she is also a murderess. She poisoned her aunt. But pray come ill. I am entirely at your dispos-' al." The voice was mocking.

Without waiting for a reply. the man turned and waddled -there was no other word for it-towards the rear of a dimly lit hall. Jim followed, still holding Mary's hand. The place was huge and full of shadows. He glimpsed a staircase ascending into darkness. Then ne recollected that nobody had clos- ed the door and turned his head. Something streaked through the opening, and vanished in the di- rectlon oi the staircase. If this was trickery, it was beginning to have its intended eiiect. He ielt his skin crawl. His hands shook a little.

They were ushered into a large room of remarkable squalor. The heavy, old-fashioned furniture was
