i 'The Silver Rood Mystery? by Lewis All ep J Browne J

CHAPTER XXXVII I had a couple days of rest, and appreciated it. Phil was in New York over night When he came back he had a copy of the birth record. A girl. Note, was bom to Mrs. Nola Lutzmann on November 10, 1911, at the address of Mrs. Felder. I was rather ashamed of myself for having neglected to look this up before. I took the information over to Judge Wentworth. "We all often overlook the simpler things that frequently prove to be important” was his comment Sergeant Harper got his reports that Mr. and Mrs. Fellows seemed to be obeying orders. Aside from marketing and going out for dinner at some local restaurant, they seldom left th* place. The For Sale sign had been removed. Howard Griswold was still outwardly calm, but Mary and I both eeuld see that he was under great mental stress. Th* time was nearing when he would have to go out to Illinois for his new position. He wasn’t sure that he would be allowed to do this. I took it up with Harper. I felt that Foxcroft would refuse stubbornly. “Let’s wait until we see what we learn from this Professor Lardeau,” Harper suggested. I tried to cheer Griswold by telling him I was fairly sure he would not be held here. Wednesday morning Foxcroft had a wire from his cousin, Mr. Colton. He was on his way to Greatport with Professor Lardeau. They would be out shortly after noon. I don’t know how Foxcroft and Harper felt about it I was more excited than I had been at any time since I was asked to help on the case. Right after Foxcroft telephoned this information, Mary telephoned form« to come up. I went up through the stil* along the path between my father-in-law’a house and her home. She was sitting on Che veranda and Davison was standing near by. "You didn’t take the silver rood, did you?” she asked. “No. Is it gone?” “Yes. Davison noticed that ft was Missing, not ten minutes ago.” W» went into the library. I examined the hook where it had hung for so many years. Th* filament of wire was on the hook. I had carefully wound it around the rood when I hung it back, just as Harper had originally fixed it, in order to learn if anyone handled iL “Had any visitor*, Mary?” I asked. "None.” “You didn’t show anyone in here, while Miss Montiath was away, did you, Davison?" “No sir. Th* rood was there yesterday afternoon. I am quite sure about that I never go i? th* room but what I glance at it.” "Naturally.” “I don’t want it there any longer than necessary,” Mary cried. “It makes me shudder.” "Someon* took it, then,” I said.

“between yesterday afternoon and i this forenoon.* i “Yes sir.” “How about the servants?" "Th*y know nothing about it, at < least they say ao, air. I see no rea- j son to doubt them.” “And there has been no one here, I other than Misa Montieth, Mrs. St*- ’ pieton and the servants?” i “Certainly not since yesterday as- 1 ternoon," Mary assured me. “Mason was up last night, sir," i Davison said. "Up where? In here?” “Oh no, sir, he came up around ten o'clock last night, he didn’t even come in. I went out and sat with him a half hour in the service yard. Then I walked down as far as the stile with him. He came around the back way, naturally, air." “What do you think? I suppose you visit back and forth?” “Occasionally, sir.” “I will see what I can learn. Meanwhile, you question the servants again, will you, Mary?” Mary promise)!. I had to hurry back and get to Greatport. I was beginning to get greatly disturbed about the taking of that ailver rood. For some reason, that I couldn't fathom, it struck me as having great significance. It was two o’clock when Mr. Colton arrived at Foxcroft’s office with Professor Henri Lardeau. The professor was smiling and calm, shook hands with us as Colton introduced him, and sat down quite at ease. “I can vouch for all that Professor Lardeau will tell you, gentlemen,” Colton said, “but he wants to tell it his way.” “Well, first of all, Professor," Sergeant Harper said, “give us your reason for stealing that painting." “I did not steal it,” Lardeau replied. “What!” Sergeant Harper fairly bellowed, his eyes wide with astonishment. “You didn’t steal th* painting? You were there. Th* painting—” “Please, gentlemen!” Professor Lardeau held up his hand. I shook my head at Harper. “If you will let me tell it It is a strange story. Mr. Colton has verified all of it. I have papers. Lat us go about it quietly and than, if you wish, you may do what they call a third degree, is it not?” Harper nodded. “Go to it,” he said. < “I took the painting. I did not steal ft. One cannot steal one’s own property." Foxeroft scowled. “So it was your painting, eh?” I Harper asked. One C4>nld aee that he didn't believe iL “It was mine, in • way. It bei longed to my father, now dead. I i inherited all that he left. Tea, it was my painting. And yet, gentlemen, it really belonged to the Swiss : National Museum in Zurich." ; “We seem to be getting somewhat involved, Professor,” I said, to fit! , the silene* as Lardeaa leaked about

at us to see how we toox his statement “We should have a stenographer,” Foxeroft said, arising. "Not necessary,” Colton told him. “I have a complete typed statement for you, with other official papers." "All right” Foxcroft turned to Lardeau. “I suppose someone told you that Mr. Gerard Montieth had stolen this painting from your father?” “No. Oh, no, no. All by one splendid accident I found out that Mr. Montieth had it and I know bow that he had every reason to believf it was his.” “It was only a copy,” Foxcrof’ ~ declared. “Hal No copy, gentlemen, I as sure you. Ask Mr. Colton, long my good friend.” “I told you that Professor Lardeau wouldn’t look twice at any copy,” Colton reminded us. “That painting, gentlemen,” the professor assured us, “is a Van Dyck, a genuine, not a copy. It is the head of Prince Charlea of England when he was a little lad, the prince who later became King Charles the second. It was done about 1635 when Van Dyck was aged thirty-six. He did a great many portraits of royalty, especially of royal children. It is of great value, very great value.” “Did you bring it back?” Sergeant Harper asked. “Ha! Never. Why should I? It is now hanging in the Swiss National Museum where it should have been hanging twenty-five years ago.” clear this up—we aren't interested in the painting; we want to know who killed Gerard Montieth,” Harper declared. Th* professor became grave, instantly. “No one wants to know more than I. When I read of it the shock nearly killed me. I was never so mortally frightened. I took ship to South America and then home, under another name. I did not kill Mr. Montieth. I did go into his library. 1 called again to make him another offer, then to tell him that it was not rightly hia painting and that the Swiss Government would *ue him for it if he refused. He was sleeping. There, through the open door to the library, hung the painting that had belonged to my father. Why, I ask myself, waste time to haggle, to fight it in the courts? Why not take what is mine and depart? Let Mr. Montieth sue if he wished, but the painting would be where it belonged.” “And Montieth woke up and tried to stop you and you had to kill him!” Th* professor turned to Harper and said, with no show of alarm or fear, “That would be the natural thing to think, but it is not so ” “Will you let him toil it?” Colton urged. “All right.” Harper sat back, sulkily.
