That chance discovery at the Inn had guided him right, It had been an amazing piece of luck, and he bad been able to recognize Mrs. Aubyn St. Clair immediately; this leader of Lonâ€" don Society was the same woman who had been mied up in that notorious murder case on the transâ€"Atlantic liner "Carapanthia," when he had been returning to New York thrse years before. She had been traveling under a very different name then, and ro one appeared to be aware that she was a wellâ€"knowhn personage in Lonâ€" don‘s Mayfair, but his job had ‘given him a remarkable memory for faces, and he had no possible doubt it was the same person. | a clear view of the room on the other CHAPTER XVI.

"We!l, Whittle? Ang how‘3 the land x the Fredâ€"free for murders, 1 mean; with no questions asked, and no licence required." Detective Inspector Bodkin‘s speech was in keeping with his sneering mouth. > Whittle, who had never liked the man during a casual acquaintanceship which extended over ten years, kept his temper. He had asked to see Bodâ€" kin‘s superior, but Superintendent Watson was away. "America‘s all right,"‘ he replied. "It‘s this side that wants looking "Are you a friend of Mrs. St. Clair?" he asked. *‘What‘s that to do with you?" "It. may be a lot to do with you, young lady," he said sternly; "you can take that from me." "Hot air!" she scoffed. ‘"Perhapsâ€"perhaps not. Anyway, if you‘d like to see me some time toâ€" morrow, ring up Metropolitan 0177, and ask for Mr. Barthotomew. Don‘t forgetâ€"Mr. Bartholomew." With that he raised his hat, signalled a passing taxiâ€"cab which had just come from the direction of Piccadiliy, gave the driver an address, and got irto the vehicle. He gave no backward glance as the cah sped away. Charles Whittle had had considerâ€" able experience of criminals, and he realized that this woman was either under the influence of dope or that she had recently been put to a considerâ€" able mental strain. A thought came: Perhaps she had quzrrelied with the Fmpress. "Got what you wanted, Mr. Dick*" she asked, He smiled at her. "My name‘s Bartholomew," he said. "Come off it, You‘re an American ‘dick,‘ and I want to know what you were doing in that house just now." He noticed that he face was flushed, and that her eyes were brighter than a normal woman‘s should have been. He was wondering whether he should accost her, when she ha‘fâ€" turned, stopped, and then actualiy spoke to him herself. He had scarcely taken a few steps, however, before a woman passed him. Instantly, he recognized her as the companion of The Empress. All the while he had been thus cogiâ€" tating, he had remained practically stationary a few yards away from the house.
