"CONTRABAN P"MX

CHAPTER I WHEN Gregory Sallust first saw the girl it was already nearly midnight on the last day of his holiday. He had made a leisurely tour of Normandy, stopping at some of the less pretentious inns where the cuisine was still unspoiled by the summer tourist triflic, and was ending up with three days of riotous living at Deauville. It was a little early yet for that playground of the rich, but the Casino was fairly full. English, French and Americans jostled each other at the tables while here and there a less familiar type of face proclaimed a true Latin, Scandinavian or Slav. Gregory glanced again at the girl who had just come in, then lowered his eyes to the man she was accompanying, a strange little figure, now seated at the table. He was not a dwarf; yet was curiously ill-propor-tioned. His body wis frail and childlike, but his head massive and powerful. From it a shock of silver hair swept back, giving him a be nign and priestlike appearance, but ais rattrap mouth and curiously pale blue eyes belied any suggestion of mildness. * • Catching sight of him had first drawn Gregory Sallust’s attention to the girl, for Gregory knew him —which was not surprising, since he

inew most people of importance. From his public school Gregory had gone straight into the war but a nasty head wound had put an end to his trench service and he had been seconded to Intelligence. At the time of the currency collapse In Central Europe he had left the Service to undertake certain confidential work foi English banking interests in Vienna, and when that job ended he drifted into journalism in order to supplement his private income-of a few hundreds a year. That nad led, a year or two later, to his being sent out to the Far East as war correspondent to one of the big London dailies. On his return he had remained unemployed except for occasional literary work until an old friend recommended him, as highly suited to undertake a special investigation needing secrecy and brains, to a group of men who controlled one of Britain’s greatest commercial corporations. Gregory had accepted and as a preliminary had taken his fortnight’s “holiday" in Normandy. He was due back to make his first report the following day. „ . The girl remained standing behind her companion’s chair, and Gregory watched her covertly. He was wondering if she were a poule dt luxe or just some friend’s girl In whom the old man was taking a fatherly interest, but Gregory knew that he was not the sort of old man to derive the least pleasure from the innocent conversation of respectable young women. He was almost a recluse, having cut himself off from all social life years before. Even when he traveled he rarely appeared it, the public rooms of the hotels where he stayed, owing to a supersensitiveness about his physical shortcomings. On the other hand, he was by no means the type of old rip who travels with pseudo “nieces" in his entourage. He was reputed to be colossally rich, but Gregory had never heard the word “mistress” breathed in connection with his name. A little frown of annoyance wrinkled Gregory’s forehead, catching at the scar which lifted his left eyebrow. What a pity, he thought, that he was returning to England the following day. If only he had seen this beautiful and mysterious girl soon after his arrival at Deauville! It would have been fun to have tried to meet her. "Rien ne va plus”, eame the level voice of the croupier, and Gregory realized too late that he had failed j to place his stake. “Really,” he thought, “I am behaving like an idiot, and if I am not careful I shall be thinking of that lovely face of hers for weeks. I hnva known this sort of thing happen to ms before, so I had better go home to bed before I get her too much on my mind.”

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, MAY 2, 1938.

He pushed the cards away from him, and, collecting hie chips, stood up. Then, just as he left the table, a simple action caught hie eye while the players sat tense receiving their cards for a new deal. The elderly men had pnlled out his watch, but he wm not looking at it. He held it in the palm of hie hand and tho girl wee gazing at it over hie shoulder. She nodded, and turning from tho table without a word walked quickly away. It wae just midnight, Gregory knew, and as he watched the receding figure, so graceful in its sheath of heavy silk, he paused to wander just what lay behind that little act. He was certain that neither of the two had spoken. Was the old man

sending her somewhere or just reminding her of an appointment? Anyway, she was just leaving the talle —and alone! The temptation was too much for Gregory. True, he had only a dozen hours or so before he must pack and catch his boat. But much could be done in a dozen hours. With a long loping stride, curiously reminiscent of a stalking lion, he made his way to the lobby. Before she appeared in her wraps, he had already collected his light coat and dark soft hat and had a taxi waiting a few yards from the entrance of the casino. Too old a bird to attempt to speak to her, he watched, a little surprised that no car was waiting to pick her up, as she walked down the steps and turned to the south along the gardens which fringed the plage. He gave her about five minutes’ start and then boarded his taxi, giving the man precise instructions in fluent French. The taxi slid along the asphalt road, easing down to a crawl when the lady once more came in sight A moment later she turned round the far corner of the Normandie. The taxi speeded up and came level with the corner. Gregory peered out Opposite the Deauville branch of the famous jewellers, Van Cleffe & Appel, situated in the side of the Normandie Hotel, stood a large limousine. The girl was just getting in. “Follow that car,” said Gregory softly to his driver, and then sat back again. The limousine ran silently through the almost deserted streets, crossed the little Place with its now darkened bars, dress shops, and confectioneries, then took the road to Trouville, only a mile or so away. At Trouville Harbour the limou-

i sine halted. The taxi pulled up in I the shadow of some buildings two , hundred yards behind. Gregory s turned up the collar of hie coat to - hide his white shirt-front and with his soft hat pulled well down to t conceal his face leaned out of the I window. . . i The girl had descended from her t car and evidently dismissed it, for I the limousine swung about and sped t back towards the big villas and great hotels along the Deauville r waterfront. A man came forward from behind i the deserted customs shed. Quiet • greetings were exchanged. Then . the girl called a solitary taxi that i still lingered on the bank. She i pushed the man in before her and

bent forward to whisper an address to the driver. Then she too got in and the taxi moved off towards the center of the town. Gregory sat back and his taxi followed. For a few moments they wound in and out the old-fashioned twisting streets, then Gregory’s taxi pulled up once more. The other stood some way along a narrow turning outside a lighted doorway. The man and the girl w re getting out. Gregory could see now that the man was hatless and wore breeches topped by a leather airman’s coat. “Stay here,” he ordered as he stepped down into the street, softly closing the door of his cab behind him. The other taxi, now paid off, had driven on. The place was a cheap caf6 open to the street. A few night birds were sitting silent with drinks before them at the little tables. The girl and the man were not among them, but Gregory’s quick eye had immediately noted a side door giving separate entrance from the street to the rooms above. He shrugged his slightly stooping shoulders impatiently. It surprised him a little that such a gloriously lovely lady should consent to meet her lover in such a sordid joint, but —that was her affair. He was just about to turn away when a sharp cry came, muffled a little by the heavy curtains between which chinks of light appeared, from the room above the case. A sudden grin spread over Gregory’s lean face. In three strides he had crossed the narrow street. Crouched like a leopard, he raced up the narrow flight of stairs, dashed across the landing and flung his weight against the only door beneath which there appeared a streak | of light.
