"Where's Sir Guy?" "Left a few minutes ago. Said he was sorry but he'd received an ur gent summons from our Consulate." While offering his hand to the hotel detective, North wondered whether intelligence of certain ar rivals on the Empress of Finland had not something to do with Sir Guy's abrupt departure? "My name's North, and you're ? "Pebble, Capt'n. Special Officer Pebble. Sorry we haven't got no wheres yet, but this Chink," he nodded contemptuously towards In spector Chao, "thought we should n't do nothing 'till you showed up." "Sorry to have kept you waiting." "Oh, it's okey with me. But it's all nonsense, this waiting." He in dicated the door of a bathroom neatly tiled in black and white. "If ever I've seen a case of suicide plain and simple, it's in there." North's black clad figure seemed to more nearly approximate its ac tual six feet and his prominent cheekbones became quite sharply delineated during his survey of a contorted figure dangling uglily from the end of a bright nickeled chain. "You've come to any conclusions, Bruce?" "Only got here five minutes ago, so there hasn't been much time," Major Kilgour stated shortly. "Still, I've noted a thing or two out of the way Maybe they'll strike you, too." Drawing a deep breath, North ap proached the corpse and for some moments regarded its bulging eyes and protruding tongue with the de tached creticalness of a connoiseur examining a doubtful old master "Urn. Fellow seems to have died of strangulation all right." It was, he found, interesting to speculate on whether this gruesome figure's brain had helped develop a secret worth the security of a dozen great nations. He turned to Officer Peb ble.; "What about his papers? I see you've been through them." "They're made out to Phillip King all right, passport and everything, but look at this." Officer Pebble raised up the lower tabs of the dead man's waistcoat to expose the in itials L. A. embossed on his belt buckle. "Well?" North was conscious of Major Kilgour's effort to appear nn impressed. He must be extra careful -he and Bruce generally worked hand in glove, but in this caser Well, they'd probably still help each other up to a point, then the case would resolve itself into a struggle for a swift solution. The chances were Kilgour's people already knew more about Luther Adams and his sudden departure from Washington NOTICE OF SALE On Monday, July 21st, 1941, at 11:00 o'clock a. m., at the Court house door in the Town of Waynes ville.

"In lamented suicide's pocket was a letter addressed to one Major Luther Adams, but that was all. All baggage new, all clothes new. Very queer." . Making no comment, North stripped off his dinner coat and, with the help of the others, released the corpse which they laid on the room's cheerful brown carpet. This done, the man from G-2 narrowly examined a strip of ahesive crude ly securing the dead wrists. "Looks as if the blighter might have done it himself, at that," Kil gour suggested from across the body. "Yes, it's a poor job of binding." "Of course he done it himself," broke in the house detective. "The whole thing's plain as the nose on your face. Motive means every thing." "Motive?" "Yeh. The guy was flat broke there ain't five dollars Mex on him no letter of credit not anything. Guess this was just the end of the trail for him." "Shouldn't wonder," Kilgour mur mured while running through a small heap of documents on the sit ting room desk. As for Chao Ku, he made no com ment at all but continued a patient examination of the dead man's coat. The fatal chain -it was designed to loop back the shower bath cur tains glittered briefly in North's carefully handkerchiefed hand while he made a mental photograph of the distorted purplish features glaring up from the level of his gleaming dancing shoes. Long pointed and sensitive, the dead man's countenance was .far from commonplace, and his brow was of a height as to suggest better than average intelligence. North bent over one of the dead man's wrists and then looked up sharply when he found it quite cool almost cold, in fact. "At what time did er, Mr. King check in?" "I've already found out, Captain," Officer Pebble replied in conscious virtue. "He checked in about six." "Is the clerk who checked him in still on duty?" "No, Captain. The night clerks come on at seven. Why?" "I was wondering if anyone had asked for Mr. King." A brief telephone conversation established the fact that Mr. King had spoken twice- over the wire. The last call had come around six thirty a man had called, the onerator thought. "He must have dieo shortly after that;" Kilgour observed. North nodded, then stooped again This time narrawly to examine the link marks on the body's neck. These were dull red and deeply im printed. At last he straightened, absently dusting his hands. "Well, Bruce? What's your euess?" Major Kilgour fingered a bony jaw. "I'd gay this man is not Phillip King, and I don't think he hanged himself for lack of funds. "Rut he's broke" insisted the house detective. "Nonsense. There's a gold watch and a cigarette case on the bed room bureau, besides a cheque book wViicVi shows a trood balance to Luther Adams' account in Balti more."

' ' North Carolina' Banks Make 255,000 Loans Forty-two per cent of the banks in North Carolina made more than 255,000 loans totaling $336,000,000 to business firms and individuals throughout the state during the second half of 1940, according to the semi-annual survey of bank lending activity made by the Re search Council of the American Bankers Association. The survey showed that business firms in the state used only half of the "confirmed open lines of credit" maintained for their use on the books of the banks. The average number of new loans made per bank during the six months period under review was 1,481 and the average size of loan was $968.
