"CONTRABAN

CHAPTER XIX Feeling that he had gained ground, and that at least she would not commit herself further for the time being, he mixed some cocktails and asked what she intended to do that evening. “I do not know—now,” she replied slowly. “Why not dine with me, then?” he suggested. “Let's go gay. Well forget all this unt.4 you’ve had time to sleep on it.” To his immense relief, she consented, and so it was agreed that she should take a taxi back to the Carlton, while he changed into evening clothes, and that he should pick her up there at eight o’clock. They kissed again and clung to each other as though they were parting for a period of years although they were to meet again in a little over an hour. It was only when he was in his bath that doubts about the wisdom of his action began to assail him. She had been so quiet and said so little while he had been pressing arguments upon her to cut clear of the mess she was in before it was too late. She had promised nothing, and he really knew little of how deeply she might be implicated in Lord Gavin’s plans. Whr.c if he had failed to convince her of her danger and she gave him the slipl Knowing now from his own admission that he was working with the police, she would avoid any place where she feared he might find her. It might be weeks or months before he could hope to pick up her trail if she once abandoned the Carlton. Immediately he reached the hotel his worst forebodings were realized. The bland young man behind the reception counter shook his head. “I’m sorry, sir, Madamoiselle Szentes left here half an hour ago." “Did she leave an address?" “No sir, but if you’re Mr. Sallust she left a letter for you." “I am. Let’s have it, please.” With iwift fingers Gregory tore open the slue envelope and read the few lines jpon the single sheet: Wy dear, You work for the police. To confess it, because you hoped to nave me, was generous of you, but if you had known me better you would never have done so. How is it possible that I should ever betray the man who has been so good to my mother and myself ? That you should be engaged tn the work you are is tragic for me. I liked you so very much, but now we must put our brief hour behind us because it is impossible for us ever to meet as friends again. Sabine. For a moment Gregory regarded the note a little stupidly. Then he turned angrily to leave the hotel. To his surprise he found himself staring into Gerry Wells' freckled face. The young Inspector was standing there, clad in a neat dark blue lounge suit, a black soft hat dangling in one hand and a walking stick in the other. He was smiling broadly. "Well, how’s the amateur detective getting on?” he inquired cheerfully. “He’s not,” Gregory snapped. “For my sake let’s have a drink. I've mucked up the whole darned business." He led the way down the passage to the cocktail bar, where he confessed to Wells what an utter fool he had been. “I wouldn’t worry too much,” the Inspector chuckled when Gregory had finished his recital. “I’ve had a couple of men following her all day, just in case you slipped up. She’s

Separation Asked A suit for limited separation lia»» been filed 'by Jennie Baller against ; Jasper Bailer. Alitnouy in the sum of $2,000 was adked by the plaintiff,' who alleged her huslmnd is making 1 more than ♦loo a mouth. She alleg-' ed they separated December 23, 1987, and that they have five child-' ren, of whom two are still minors.' She charged the defendant with'

on the road to Quex Park now, as I’ve just learned from one of the flying squad cars that’s sitting on her tail, and as soon as I’ve had a bite to eat I'm flying down myself. When your man told me on the telephone, ten minutes ago, that you’d changed in a huiry to dash out to dinner, I had a hunch I’d find you here. I thought perhaps you might like to go with me. Maybe you’ll see her again this evening.” • • • Gregory and Weils considered it unlikely that ths smugglers would undertake any operations much before midnight, but Sabine would do the journey to Quex Park in a couple of hours and so should arrive there by quarter past ten, or a little after. They decided to lose no time following her down into Kent. They had spent barely a quarter of an hour in reviewing the situation, so Gregory reckoned that even allowing for a return to his flat and a scratch meal on the surplus of the supplies got in for Sabine’s tea he could reach Croydon, where Wells' plane was stationed, by 9:30, if he was quick changing into more suitable clothes. Wells was awaiting him, at the time arranged, beside a single-en-gine, 120 h.p. two-seater Tiger Moth. “Hellol Open cockpit," said Gregory. “Wish I’d known; I’d have put on warmer clothes." “You’ll be all right,” Wells assured him. “It isn’t a long trip and there’s a rug inside. Here . . .” he held out a flat, neatly packed bundle with arm straps attached. “Your parachute. It’ll help to keep your back warm.” “Parachute! What the hell do I want with a parachute?" Gregory grunted. “Nothing, I hope, but Tm afraid you’ve got to wear it if you’re coming in my plana Government regulations.” “Oh well!” Gregory pushed his arms through the loops and fastened the gear about his waist, then climbed into ths observer’s seat. The sun had set at a little before nine. It was nearly dark now and the stars were coming out again for what promised to be another almost cloudless August night Twenty-five minutes after leaving Croydon they picked out the great mile-wide belt of trees which gave Quex Park such shelter, yet threw it up from the air in the flat surrounding landscape. Wells kept well to the south of it, passing over the little village of Acol, then veered northward towards the sea. After a moment a single beam of light showed in the fields to the east of the park and he came down towards it “I wasn’t taking any chances this time,” he shouted back to Gregory as they bumped to a standstill. “I gave order* for my man to show a light here—where you came down before." The torch had disappeared but a voice came out of the darkness: “Mr. Wells?” “Yes, Simmons, what’s the latest?" “Thompson reported twenty minutes ago. sir. There’s nothing fresh , so he’s gone back to watch the house again.” “Good." The Inspector smiled over his shoulder towards Gregory. “We’ve beaten her to it then, but i she ought to be here fairly soon. Simmons will look after the plane while we go inside and give the lady a silent welcome.” Gregory grunted noncommittally I as he climbed out. True, he wanted I

cruel and inhuman treatment in ' that "he is the cause of constant 'strifes between this plaintiff and de- | defendant." She also charged him i with neglect for the last six months. ' Mis. Bailer claimed her husband ‘ boasted of spending $35 to S3O on a ' trip to Fort Wayne which she alleg'ed was for the sole purpose of associating with other women. Sum-1 1 mons were made returnable, June '4. A u application for support was ! 1 Hied. Notice was ordered returnable . ' May 28. D. Burdette Uuster appear-

i desperately to get in touch with Sa- • bine again, but not when he was In ■ ths Inspector’s company. Wells had i quite enough evidence upon which i to arrest her at any moment he , chose, and Gregory knew that she was only being left at liberty so long as she might prove useful as a lead to further evidence which would incriminate Lord Gavin. Once the net closed it would be beyond hts power to help her. With Wells beside him he msde his way through the pitch-black wooded belt along the east drive to the fringe of the lawn, from where, knowing now the direction of the house, he could distinguish its outline among the eurrounding trees less than a hundred yards away. The hoot of an owl came from some bushes nearby and to Gregory’s surprise Wells mimicked the cry in reply. Immediately there was a stirring in the shadows to their left and a figure tiptoed across the gravel path towards them. “AU quiet, Inspector,” said the newcomer in a low voice. “Thanks, Thompson, you’d better stay here while we go round to the back of the house.” Keening in the shadow of the trees they tiptoed down a narrow path through the shrubbery until they came out at the rear of the building. A light was burning in the scullery window where Gregory had attempted tc break in the night before. Wells moved along the wall of the house to the doorway and knocked gently on it. There was no reply. He knocked again, louder this time and there was a sound of footsteps in the stone-flagged passage. The door swung open and Milly’s slender form was revealed on the lighted threshold. “Hullo,” she said in pleased surprise. “I didn’t expect to see you so soon again.” “Nor I you. I thought you’d be in bed by this time.” “It's not very late, only just ten. although often I go to bed earlier and listen to the wireless." Gregory, growing impatient at this unimportant conversation, stepped forward out of the shadows and she started back, realizing his presence for the first time. He had seen her the night before but she had not seen him, as she had been walking in her sleep. Wells introduced them. “Won't you both come in?” she said. Wells shook his head. “We’d better not, in case somebody comes along to this wing of the house. Our presence might take a bit of explaining, as your aunt’s not supposed to have visitors. We only knocked to let you knew that some of the people we’re after will be here again tonight Nothing unusual’s likely to happen, but I thought it would be a bit of a comfort to know we were close handy here, keeping an eye on things." “That was nice of you." She smiled up at him. “We knew they were coming, though. The foreign lady telephoned only a few minutes ago to say that Aunty was to get her some supper. I was just going out to tell your man about it when you turned up." i “She’ll be here pretty soon then. We’ll get back to the bushes, I think. Remember me kindly to your Aunt.” “I will, thank you. Goodnight.” When the two men turned away I she stood at the half-open door reluctantly watching Wells’ ,-etreating back as he disappeared beside Gregory round the corner of the : house.
