"Tlie Cold Finger Curse" -■ by EDWIN DIAL TOFLCEFLSON

CHAPTER XXXIV “Let me get this straight now." The manager, using a small screwdriver, dismantled the instrument before him as he talked, noting serial numbers as he encountered them. "You wish to know whether this telephone has been provided lately with a new mouthpiece, and if possible how lately. And you have another instrument—-of the same ; type as this, is it T” Montigny told him it was the telephone removed from Violet Elderbank’s bedroom. "Let me sketch for ' you a hypothetical case. You are my I enemy and I am plotting murder. ’ The manager smiled nt him. not very mirthtully. “I wish to incrimi- J nate you," continued Montigny. "I i desire that your finger-prints shall ' be found at the scene of the crime. ; I have access to your home. I knew that your telephone receiver, which 1 you touch constantly, must have 1 upon it numerous examples of your finger-records. The mouthpiece parI ticularly, which you have touched ■ many times in adjusting the instru- ' ment. must have your finger-prints ' on it.” . „ 1 “Ugly thought, but interesting,’ murmured the manager. “Very well. Within a few seconds’ time I unscrew the mouthpiece of ’ your telephone and quickly substi- ■ tute another which I have had in my 1 pocket. At the scene of the crime I there is a telephone of similar type 1 i —not one of the new French * phones." “It almost was,” interrupted the 1 manager. “I recall now that we had ’ a complaint from Mrs. Eiderbank when she first moved in — she ’ claimed a French type receiver had ' been ordered, but we found no record ‘ of it. We offered to make the change ] at once, but she said never mind, she 1 wouldn't bother.” “So? Had it been a French tele- 1 phone the scheme would not have 1 worked—the mouthpiece, of course, being different.” “But it did work, you think, in 1 Sthis instance?” “I anrhoping you will prove that f for me.* "I’ll do my best. Now let me have the serial numbers on the Elderbank phone.” “Here they are,” said Montigny. “And I shall take along this mouthpiece of Thurber’s telephone, if you do not mind. I must protect the finger-prints we found upon it. Photographs have been made, but it is better to preserve the original.” “I’ll try to let you hear from me this afternoon, or tomorrow at the latest,” promised the manager. Outside again, Montigny hailed a taxicab. “The Art Mart—a shop on Eighth Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues,” he told the driver .Why he was going there he did ■ not precisely know. He was not impelled by an overpowering desire to see St Gregory Valcour’s watercolor masterpiece, Goldfish Surrounded by Blue. But he smelled a rat. an artistic rat Montigny was no Cortiissoz. but he knew enough about art to recognize the impudent gaucheries of Valcour’s work. And he was obeying a sixth sense which had long been valuable to him. The Art Mart, on Eighth Street, was an artists’ supply house winch dealt, as a not so rushing sideline, in the work of contemporary masters and a few contemporary menials. Montigny looked over the canvasses and watercolors offered for sale before inquiring for the manager. In a display window was one that he recognized—Bieak Day on Bleecker Street. Inside there were three others which bore the bold, self-confident signature, “Valcour,” in their lower corners. But I there was no sign of a gold-fish, | hemmed in by blue or any other j color. The proprietress, whom Montigny I presently consulted, was a Russians esque’young lady with slicked-down I black hair. “Valcour?” she said. “Oh, yes. We have some of his most important work.” She led the way rapidly to the front of the store where the pictures were exhibited. “We have • had quite a few inquiries for his watercolors of late.” “Indeed?” murmured Montigny. “I was interested in one which I believe you had in your window recently, but I do not see it now—Goldfish Surrounded by Blue.”

“Ah, yes. We sold that. Only this naorning. But the one which we have in the window now—Bleak Day on Bleecker Street, it is called—l really believe is more effective.” “But what I wanted was the Goldfish,” said Montigny regretfully. “Why didn't I come back, before it was too late! May I ask whom you sold it to ?—perhaps I may see the party.” The proprietress frowned thoughtfully. “Why, it was a cash sale—l made it myself—but I don’t believe he mentioned his name.” “He took the picture with him—there was no delivery?” “He came in his car. His Japanese chauffeur waited for tho picture while we were w rapping it.” “Could you describe the gentleman?” The young woman looked at him sharply. “What is this?” she demanded. “Why the inquisition?” “I am of the police,” said Montigny, displaying a badge. “This is an inquiry which in no sense involves you or your business, but I wish if possible to get in touch with the man who bought that picture.” “Oh!” The tone of the proprietress was less tart than startled now. “Why, he was a man of middle age, quite gentlemanly, rather scholarly, I should say; clean-shaven, I believe. No eye-glasses. He wore a Fray suit, gray soft hat, gray spats, believe and black shoes. He had called up yesterday—that is, I suppose it was he. He said he had seen this picture in the window, and wanted to know whether we still had it. We did net have it, but we sent to the artist’s studio and got it. It had been on exhibition here for quite a time, and the artist had taken it back; said he thought he had a sale for it. There had been another inquiry for it yesterday, I believe, but the customer bought something else.” “And you cannot remember anything more distinctive about the gentleman who bought the Goldfish?” “Why, no, I can’t say that I do.’’ “The chauffeur did not call his name?” “No. I did not hear it if he did.” “He did not call the chauffeur’s name?” “No. Wait a minute—yes he did. What was it he called him? Something that suggested ‘jiu-jitsu.’ He called him—Hitsu. That was the name!” “Hitsu. A scholarly gentleman with gray spats and a chauffeur by the name of Hitsu. That may help. But may I ask you, please, if you hear from him again, will you get his name and address.” “Surely. It isn’t a case of—stolen goods, or anything?” “Nothing like that.” Montigny gave her his name and thanked her. He sought out a telephone booth at a corner cigar store and called McEniry again. “You want a Japanese chauffeur named Hitsu. or a man who employs one by that name?” chuckled McEniry. “That’s a swell lead, now, ain't it? Why don’t you stick to soap and telephones, Montigny?” “The employment agencies,” said Montigny. “There, possibly, is the only chance.” “All right, if you think it’s important I'll have ’em canvassed—do it by telephone to save time. Where’ll I call you if we have any luck?” “1 am going home—to Mrs. Elderbank’s home.” Montigny was seated in Mrs. Elderbank’s drawing-room, reading the crime news of the latest editions, forty minutes later, when , Cuppies brought him a detachable telephone and plugged it in to a con- ; venient connection. , “I think it is police headquarters, ■ sir.” said Cuppies. “How nice of you. Cuppies. You ■ need not stand outside the door and . listen. You will hear nothing.” i McEniry reported what might or might not be luck. “We found five registered by the name of Hitsu,” he said. “Two . cooks, one butler, two chauffeurs. . We checked the license list for the . chauffeurs, so wc have the home ad- ■ dresses they gave as well as the people they work for. Want just the chauffeurs, or all five?” “Just the chauffeurs for today. . thank you.” i Five minutes later Montigny was bound uptown in quest of two em-

ployer* of chauffeur* by the name of Hitsu. . . jj * At the first of the two addressee he had luck of a sort At a hotelapartment house on Central rara West there was supposed to live a Jacob Schurman who had employed through an agency, two weeks ago, ' a chauffeur called Hitsu. But Mr. Schurman had departed. He had been there under a transient arrangement. The superintendent and the telephone operator understood he had sailed for Europe, this day at noon. Evidently the Japanese servant had gone with him. Montigny'* badge obtained him permission to look over the small suite recently vacated by Mr. Schurman. The rooms had been cleaned, and there was small likelihood he would find anything. There was nothing, indeed, to reward Montigny for his search of the rooms, with the exception of one item. In the dark corner of a clothe* closet his flashlight picked out a glazed and rather heavily framed watercolor painting. It depicted a slightly humpbacked goldfish disconsolately poised in an indigo ocean. "Goldfish,” exclaimed Montigny, “Surrounded by Blue!" Montigny examined the curiou* picture with a thoroughness that an academician might have lavished on a suspected Rembrandt. He was more interested, however, in the back of it than the face. He took it to a window and examined the backing of stiff brown paper, bound at the edges with broad strips of gummed adhesive paper. It was a large picture and its frame was deep and rather heavy for so fragile a subject as the goldfish. Montigny shook the picture and nothing rattled. Yet the unaided eye could tell that between the face of the picture, next the glass, and the brown paper backing, there was a space of at least two inches’ depth. The detective inserted a knife blade beneath the adhesive paper Cnthe badk. and hesitated. He went ttf’the bathroom of the departed Jacob Schurman’s suite and turned on the hot water. It ran steaming within a minute —he could loosen the gummed paper by this method —but still Montigny hesitated. There might be finger-prints which would be obliterated by the steam. Os course there would be—a maze of them—a great many people had handled the picture. But still— «• Montigny telephoned headquarters. McEniry had gone for the day, but Sergeant Darden was there. “I am coming down at once,” said Montigny. “with something to be examined by Captain Nobley or one of hi* men. But my chief concern is Valcour—is he safe in jail?” “No!” shouted Darden with in oath. “He’s on the lam—he’s a gone goose! Those dubs I had tailing him let him get away; they thought he - was safe, in jail.” “Who got him out?” asked Mon- . tigny quickly. , "Cash bond. Somebody sent , around the money by a messenger boy —we don’t know who. It was | only twenty-five dollars. It’s our > own fault—we’re a bunch of hicks. Why? Have you got something new . on him?” "It looks that way,” said MonI tigny. “I shall be down at once to show you.” There was no time to lose, but Montigny swiftly interrogated the - superintendent and telephone opcr- ; a tor again, as wcH as the elevator - men. 1 They all agreed that Jacob Schurs man wore a ;pay suit and hat. gray - spats, and, in addition, gray silk gloves. He was a nice gentleman , of middle age, quiet and amiable. Nobody had got very well acquainti cd with him, he had been there such 1 a short time. He had registered from Philadelphia. Hitsu had gone r up to his suite once or twice in the service elevator, but the elevator s man had found him uncommunica- > tl-e. He did not speak very good -. English. Usually he had waited out--8 side in the car after asking the tele- - phone operator to advise Mr. Schure man that he was on hand. The car e was an expensive American eight. No one knew what garage Mr. '. Schurman patronized. (To Be Continued) S j Cwmsn. 133«. ■>; BJwlt. O Tw*«r«w - • Dl>u!i>uUd by King B«atur«s
