"Why were you harping on about Paris for?" Ducros demanded. “What does it matter when she stayed?" “I'm curious about that; son in Paris." Dollimore said. "Her visits may have no connexion with him. but they may. And I'll bet that he was staying at the same place." "You'd like to see the room" Ducros suggested to the experts. "That was rather Why we came down at this unearthly hour." "Wili you take them up. Inspec- tor? I rather want to find out the peculiar bee this fellows got in his bonnet." "As I see it." Dolllmorg said when he and the Superintendent were alone, "the only person who is gaining from the murder is their precious son. The bunch of crooks are working with him. In the ab- sence of a will, the solicitor will lapply for Letters of Administra- ' tlon and the whole considerable es- tate will pass to the son -and these crooks. There i-s one point I notic- ed which may be of tremendous importance. Rolliter said there was was no will. as fer as he knew. The whole thing depends c-n ivhether that is true. Miss Stenning told us that he came down here to draw up Mrs. Lewin's will". “Did she?" Ducros said, pricking up his cars. “She did. It i-s a point on which wr- hnd better see her again" "I'd overlooked it. W.- must see her at. once. I don't; suppose she's gone to bed." “Then we'll no up. Her room is next to Mrs. Lewin's. 1' don't sup- pore she's likely to be eslern. In silence the two men w*nt up ‘the stairs.

Two rounds of trumps were cashed. ending in dum- my; then South ruffed another heart. His next move was to cash his club tricks, after which he ruffed away dummys last heart. This was excellent technique, but the wonder is why South went to the trouble to strip the hand, since he failed to take advantage of his now sound position. For some DET- sonal and private reason that will never be known. he laid down the diamond lclng— and after that it was inevitable that he should lose two diamond tricks. ‘Ilo repeat. it was good technique to eliminate the hearts and clubs from the North and South hands. but the only reason for that line The door of Mrs. Lewin's roomlof play was to provide for the non- was open and the experts were armor; of diamonds that the bld- work.

"Who is there?" they heard her voice. "Superintendent Ducros, Can you come to the door, Miss Stenning.‘ for a moment?" , "I haven't been to bed." she sold as she opened the door. “Sorry to worry you again Mill ltenning, but Inspector Dvlllmftl‘! said you spoke about a will." "I thiink I did mention it. I WTOtQ to Mr. Roliiter-on Mn. Lowlife instructions-asking him to come down. and I knew that it WM 1° make a will. It was witnessed by two of the servants." "You didn't witness lt?" ""N‘o_ Mr. Rolliter said I wasn't to. Apparently Mrs. Lewln had men- tioned me in l-t." “You're quite positive?" "I think so. I'm positive that she meant to make a will, anrl that he came down to do it. And that when it was done it was witness-i ed by two of the molds." I "Dou you know where it is?" . "No. I don't. * Mrs. [owl-i may; have. sent it to her bank. Or ML. Rolliter may have taken it with‘ him." l ‘Thank you very much.

He showed three clubs and t-wo spades. go he could not. have more than one diamond. South should have led low toward dummy. and just covered whatever card West put in. 1f East oould win the trick .he would have to return a heart may wuuld be ruffed in one hand while a diamond was discarded from the other. and that would be that- K West put in the nine, it would be equallv easy for declarer. He wrmid merely win with the ace and return a diamond. passing ihe trick to West when East shtrwfld out. Now West would have to lead back into South's diamond tense‘. or allow a ruff and a discard by returning a club. _._-——-—-——— the son was staying in Paris?"
