He has l»icn buying these shares on marign ■wJ they have been steadily dropping in value. On the day he paid you righteen thousmid five hundred pounds there came another demand for a larger amount.” Danty’s heart sank though he gave no -visible evidence of his perturba tion. ’This man knew more than he had dreamed could be known. Here was a crisis in Mr. Morell's affaim which might easily lead him to ruin and nndo all those fine schemes of his. ' "I do not exactly know what you (ire suggesting,” he said. “My in terest in , the company ip a very slight one, and I was horrified when I learned that Rex had been gamb ling in the shares. , I give you the fullest permissioin to make any in vestigation you wish.” Luke opened the drawer of his derii and took out a check. From wbeire he sat Danty thought the sig- aatve Wjts a tolersdily good forg ery. He had thought so -when Rex had brought the chi^ to him. It is the amplest iring in the world to forge a nonae, an so far as he had been able to judge there were no laws in Rex Lorre’s essay in that dangerous game.. “You realize what is wrong with this cheek?” asl^ Luke. ’Hie other shook his hc^ad. “Are you suggesting that I knew the check was forged?” he asked. Before he could reply there was a tap at the door and Luke looked tip angrily. “Come in,” he said. It was the apologetic manager. “I am sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Maddison, but will you see Mr., Bin of Scotland yard?” In spit of his srif-possession Danty half rose from his seat. The Sparrow was the last man in the world be wanted to meet that morning. Luke thought for a minute “Just a moment.” He rose and opened a door leading to the corridor. “I shall want to see you again about this check, Mr. Morrell,” he said. “IWhy not see me now?” It was a challenge, but Luke Mad dison could sense its insincerity. “Mr. Bird has come to see me on quite another matter,” he Sfrid. “In due course we vdll interview him to- gtether.” SICK AT HIS STOMACH *I WAS suffering firom stomach trouble, in 1917,” says Mr. C. IL Nelson, a x^troad engi neer living m Pulaski, Va. "I had a tightness » in my chest, a shoriaiess of U . . breath.

Bad bus^ss, this young Leferre case, Mr. Mad- dison. You din’t want to appear m it, I suppose?” Luke looked at him, startled. “I?
