Mr. Colne raised his eyebrows. "Really, Wragge, you jump too

I must go back to town this afternoon and start on Sir Dudley's record of his former City office, but first I can put in a useful hour or two at Beechwood. I should like to see the head keeper who con ducted the search party, and if I could run up against Doctor Wll- loughby Melville I might play on his sympathy for an ex-patient."
CHAPTER VII The Red-Noted Blackmailer
THE same train which brought Inspector Wragge to Colnbrook Towers deposited at the wayside
station another passenger for whom no grand motor car was waiting.
Not a prepossessing person by any means was the middle-aged, flashily dressed Individual bearing
>wn on Sir Dudley Glenister's mntry seat. Signs of dissipation > his bloated face culminated in le big; red blob at the end of a
prodigious nose. His gait as he trod the pebbly road in thin shoes bespoke him a town-dweller, more used to pavements.
He came at length to the scrolly on gates giving access to Becch- ood Grange. The gates were shut id he halted In his tracks. Just
inside was the lodge-keeper's cot tage, embowered In the shade of giant elms. In the distance the old mansion was partly visible.
"Not exactly Capel Court and Throckmorton street. A trine gloomy to my way of thinking,"

r. Triekey had been a clerk in stockbroklne office of Con-

"Hello, Simon!" he cxclaime "Not drunk yourself to death ye then? I thought we had a( that all communications betwee
should be by letter." ho ex-clerk tried to induce
pained expression."There are some things best nc
put on paper," he said, withde glance at Doctor Melville."All the same I expect you woulivo found it healthier to embody
the object of your visit in a letter," rejoined Sir Dudley savagely"Melville, you will excuse ni£please, while I deal with this felow. He won't take more than a ew minutes."
Sir Dudley led his obviously un welcome visitor into the dining room through an open French win low. With studied brutality th' laronet went to the sideboard-

Iready." the baronet respond- fl angrily. "No evidence that you >uld give would amount to a row 1 pins so far as easing the situ- ion goes. Nobody ought to know iat better than you." Mr. Trickey was thoughtful.
You were always one to catch on ickly," he said in a tone of real
gret. "It must be the dull country ; that's taken the edtfe off your Jet-standing. 1 wasn't referring evidence I could give, but to
iat I could withhold." 'You infernal scoundrel, now e got you out in the open," re- ted Sir Dudley. "I knew ypu re after blackmail. Just listen me, Simon. Not one halfpenny
ire than the settled annuity will j get from me, and at the first n of treachery I will kill youthe faithless dog you arc."
The ex-clerk began to breathe eavlly."I don't doubt you'd try," he leered. "Pretty good at killing :ople, ain't we? All the same " Mr. Trickuy's speech was cur- .iled by the entry of the old but- r.

Melville lifted his eyebrows to wards the clerically attired visitor.
"I really beg your pardon, sir," said the baronet. "What can I have the pleasure of doing for you?"
"I am corresponding secretary for the Mission to Bluckfoot In dians," said Inspector Wragfe'o, "and I have culled to beg for a subscrip tion. I have just been with Mr. Stephen Colne of Colnbrook Towers, and hu mentioned your name."
