As the trouble colncidud with a rusli of work, It be- 1 came ncces.sary for the survivors to ' work late. At Ave o'clock the clerks were given half an hour off for tea, but, in exchange for the privilege of the two free nights a week he requir- ed for his technical classes, Adam worked right through the tea interval. One evening while he was so engag- ed, Mr. Perkin'a door opened to a sound of expostulation and weeping. A neat shabby little woman was be- ing ushered out by Mr. Perkin him- self^ and tiie task seemed to be caus- ing him considerable dlfBcuIty. "It's no use, my good woman, no use whatever. You must make It clear to your precious husband that unless he does exactly what he is told I shall wash my hands of his case altogether. Then instead of an easy stretch of perhaps twelve months, he'll proliably go down for three years." The woman wailed afresh. "I would not mind so much if he was really guilty tills time," she lilubbered. "But he's been running straight, you know he has, Mr. Perkin, and he ought to get off this time." "Now that's enough. I've told him wliut he has to say, and he's got to say it, and if you like to take your case elsewhere, you've only to say so." "But Hagar's so sure," she persis- ted desperately, "that if you'll only get the barrister to ask him..." "Merislon, show Mrs. Ilagar out, please," Mr. Perkin cut in and closed the wood with the slam of finality. The woman stood noisily weeping in the outer office as Adam approach- ed her. "Come along, Mrs. Hagar," he said as kindly as he could. "It doesn't do any good to go against the advice of your legal adviser, you know.'' "But he's so set on being asked just that one tiuestion, sir," she whimpered. "I seen liim only yes- terday and he made me promise I'd get it asked for him. Seems to me as he ought to know what it is'd do him a bit of good with the jury." Adam endeavored to assure her that Mr. Perkin knew best, and lay- ing a hand on her greenish, black sleeve began to steer her towards the stairway. "You can't go again.st Mr. Perkin'a advice in these matters, you know. Look at the number of people he has got off," he cajoled her. The woman suddenly ceased her weeping and looked up at him shrewd- ly from her redrimmed eyes. Her face had gone cunning. "Hut sup- pose Mr. Perkin don't want to get him oft tlii.'i time?" .s-'ie whispered. "Nonsense. If I were you I'd go straiglit homo and I'd have a cup of tea when 1 got there. If anyone can get your husband off Mr. Perkin is that man. You ought to feel certain about that." She reached out a rfiiny rod hand .uiil grasped liis sleeve. " 'Ere, step outside with me a moment," she said. "You're a kindspokon gentleman and I'd like a word witli you." THE MYSTERY OF MR. MONTADA Merely to humor her Adam stepped into the corridor and pulled the door to behind him. ".Vow lovey," she HOW TO RELIEVE YOUR COLD ALMOST AT ONCE wheedled, "Couldn't you manage to get one of them notes through to the barrister lu court for me?" "it would he as much as my job was worth, and I'm not likely to be in court either." "Isn't it worth risking a bit to save a bloke what's had years on years of clink and been going straight now for atwelve-inonth? If he goes down tihis time it'll be the end of him, and just as we was getting a nice little 'oiiie together along of 'ini running straight." "For your own sake, I wouldn't do anything that was against Mr. Per- kln's advice. What is it bo wants to be asked anyhow?" Curiosity was mastering Adam's not over spontane- ous sense of loyalty to bis employ- er. "What Ilagar says they did ought to ask him is when (<id he last see Mr. Montada.'' ♦ She paused cunningly and watched for the effect of this extraordinary question on Adam's face. "He says if they'll only ask him that it will all come out and the judge will see It's a frame-up. Now couldn't you just get a little note about that through to the barrister? If it don't do no good It'll make Hagar's mind easier." In spite of the perplexity In his mind, Adam bethought him to ask why the man could not mention Mr. Montada himself. She had her answer ready for that, "You ought to know, sir, as a poor bloke like Hagar can't say what he likes in the dock. They shut you up cruel it you says a word outside the book, them judges and barristers. What's more, Hagar ain't what you'd call a clever bloke with h!s tongue, ! like you legal gentlemen that talks I so easy. What ho feels is that it he j was given a start it'd all come out 1 natural like and they couldn't stop • him same as they would if he was to try to bring it out himself. Ttoere, you see how it Is. Do poor old Hagar a bit of good, won't you? Promise me." He refused to promise and at last got rid of her, still pleading and be- ginning to whimper again. Neverthe- less he was far nearer to making her the promise she had desired than his manner had indicated. He seemed to smell roguery of some complicated sort, and if any action of his could upset roguery he doubted it his offi- cial loyalties ought to be allowed to stand in the -xay. However, he re- flected that leading barristers are not easily got at by junior clerks out of solicitor's offices, and in any case it was extremely unlikely that anyone from the office would accompany Mr. Perkin to the Assizes. It was a slight chance that influ- enced him ultimately, merely a glimpse caught of Mr. Montada's chauffeur when leaving the office late one evening shortly fttterwards, and then an unexpected opportun- ity. Mr. Montada's gleaming saloon was standing at the kerb that even- ing and Mr. Montada's chauffeur was leaning over the open bonnet. Interested to see if the near front axle-cap had been renewed, Adam moved to pass as near as possible to the part on which the man's at- tention was engaged. As he sauntered ;>ast, the bending chauffeur straightened as sharply as he could, not entirely straight, for that was impossible. He was a hunchback. He seemed to have been rendered suspicious, and he K.hot a glance of sharp enquiry at the hatless stranger. There was a perplexed frown on his face in the light of the street lamps, and there was an equally perplexed one on Adam's face as he moved away. The man at once turned and bent mut- tering over the engine once more. And Adam walked on telling himself that he had seen that very person crouched at the corner of Grail St. on a certain miserably wet night only a week or two before. (To be Continued.) 2.
