Other participants in the War found themselves more or leaf similarly burdened. This vast increase in money obligations atteeted the whole Bnancial economy of the nations. The increase was elected by substitut- Ing an unlimited paper currency issue readily susceptible to depreciation by political action tor a limited gold cur. rency. Every European country which participated in the War, except Great Britain, frankly laced the tact that they could not redeem their greatly iniiahti obligations, or even carry on their business, in currency ot the pre- War gold content. Each reduced the gold content of its currency according to its needs; that is to Bay, they raised the paper currency price or gold. France, for instance, mutiplied it by five, and Belgium by seven. Great Britain made a valiant, but unsuccess- ful attempt to restore her currency to its pre-War value, and the United states, though her obligations were re latively lighter and her gold reserves larger than they had ever been, in April elected to suspend gold payments in order to reduce the gold value ot the dollar. The most interesting tea. ture ot the present keen demand tor gold is that it comes cltietV from the Continent, and particularly from those countries which remain on the gold standard. it follows, therefore, that the buyers ot gold are doubtful wheth, er these countries. owing to economic pressure, can maintain convertibility. and prefer to hold gold instead ct paper. it is easy to understand the anxiety, say, ot the French and Bei. ginns. who have already suffered from a severe depreciation of their cur- rency, to avoid a possible repetition Fashion Notes Collections that Include evening gowns often make a point ot looped treatments at the back, the loops some- times emanating trom the shoulders and looped under at the knees or Just above.

"You know I came down to Exhampton on Friday evening, Emily. Well, there was a bit of information I was going to get from a pal of mine, another newspa- per man, Carruthers his name is. He was coming round to see me about half past sik it he could-before he went on to some literary dinner-he is rather a big gub, Carruthers. and if he couldn't make it he would send me a line to Exhampton. Well, he didn't make it and he did send me a line." Captain Trevelyan had rented 2t large house in sittnford to Mrs. Wine t Ind had taken a smaller one in Exlumpton.

"Don't be so impatient, I am com- ing to the point. The old chap was rather fuddled when he wrote it-- done himself well at the dinner-after giving me the item I wanted, he went on to waste a good bit of juicy des- cription on me. You know-about the speeches and what asses so and so, a famous novelist and a famous play- w-ight, were. And he said he had been rottenly placed at the ainner. There was an empty seat on one side of him where Ruby McAlmott, that awful best-seller woman, ought to hrve sat and an empty place on the other side of him where the sex tape- cialist Martin Bering, ought to have been, but he moved up near to a poet, who is very well known in Blackheath, and tried to make the best of things. Now, do you see the point?" "Charles! Darling!" Emily became lyrical with excitement. "How mar- velous. Then the brute wasn't at the dinner at all?" "Exactly." "You are sure you've remembered the name right?" “1m positive. I have torn up the letter', worse luck, but I can always wire to Carruthers to make sure. But I absolutely know I'm not mistaken." "There's the publisher still, of course," said Emily. "The one he spent the afternoon with. But I ra- ther think it was a publisher who was just going back to America, and if so, that locks fishy. I mean it looks as though he had selected someone who eouldn't be asked without a lot of trouble." "The awkward thing is that you can't go and ask him about it now.

The worst of Jim is thin he is {rightfully obstinate; he has once said a thing he sticks it." Emily paused, lost in thought. Two very different theories stretched out in opposite directions. There was the one suggested by Mr. Rycroft, in which Jim's quarrel with his uncle was the determining point. The other theory, however, took no cognizance of Jim whatsoever. The first thing to do, Emily felt, was to see the doctor who had first examined the body. If it were possible that Captain Trevelyan had been murdered at-say-Hour o'elock, it might make a considerable difference to the question of alibis.

"Well," she said, 'You had better find out how I can get to Exhampton. There's a train at three ten to Exeter. That will give me time to see the doctor first. And there's just one other thing I want to do before leaving Sit- taford," said Emily. "What's that?" asked Mr. Enderby. “I am going to pay a call of Mr. Duke. He's the only person in Sitta- ford I haven't SHED. And he was one of the people at the table turning." Mr. Duke's cottage was the last of the row. Emily and Charles unlatch- ed the gate and walked up the path. And then something rather surprise ing occurred. For the docr opened and a man came out. And that man was Inspector Narracott. on his client the absolute necessity of spejking the truth on this point. "Oh, we'll pass his ooitage on" the way to see about getting a car to Ex- hampton." He, too, loked surprised and, Emily thought, embarrassed. Emily aban- doned her original intention. "Delighted, Miss Trefusis." He drew out a watch. "I'm afraid you will have to look sharp. I've a car waiting. I've got to go back to Ex- hampton almost immediately." “I am so glad to have met you, In- spector Narracott," she said. "There are one or two things I want to talk to you about if I may." "How extraordinarily fortunate," said Emily, "you might give me a lift, will you, Inspector?" "You might go and get my suit- case, Charles," "aid Emily. "It's packed up and ready." Charles departed immediately. "It's a great surprise meeting you here, Miss Trefusis," said Inspector Narraeott. _ The inspector said rather woodenly that he would be very pleased to do so. "I him. "I didn't notice it at the time." "You've not seen the last of me by a long way," said Emily candidly. "You know, Inspector Narracott, you've made a mistake. Jim's not the man you’re after." "Indeed'." "And what's more," said Emily, “I believe in your heart that you agree with me." ' "You're doubtful, inspector-doubt- ful. You thought you had the right man and now you are not so sure, and so you are making a few investiga- tions. Well, I have something to tell yo" that may' help. I'll tell it to you on the way to Exhampton." "What makes you think that, Miss Trefusis'.’" "What were you doing in Mr. Duke's cottage?" retaliated Emily. Narracott looked embarrassed and she was quick to follow it up, Footsteps sounded down the road, and Ronnie Garfield appeared. He Lad the air of a truant, breathless and guilty. "I us/ Mi.s Trefusis," he began. "What about a walk this afternoon while my aunt has a nap?", ___ "impdssibie," said Emily. “I'm going away. To Exeter." "What, not really'. For good you mean I.'" "Oh, no," said Emily. "I shall be back again tomorrow." C "Oh, that's splendid." Emily took something from the pocket of her sweater and handed it u him. "Give that to your aunt, will you? It's a recipe for coffee cake and tell her she was just in time; the cook is leaving today and so are the othet servants. Be sure you tell her; she will be interested." At half past two Dr. Warren re- ceived a call from Emily He took an immediate fancy to this business-like and attractive girl. Her questions were blunt and to the point. "Yes, Miss Trefusis, I see exactly what you mean. You'll understand that, contrary to the popular belief in novels, it is extremely difficult to said an revoir," Emily reminded fix the time of death accurately. I saw the body at eight o'cloek. I can say decidedly that Captain Trevelyan had been dead at least two hours. How much longer than that would be difficult to say. If you were to tell me that he was killed at four o'clock, I should say it was possible, though my own opinion inclines to a later time. On the other hand he could certainly not have been dead for much longer than that. Four and it half hours would be the outside limit." "Thank you," said Emily, "that all that I wanted a) know." She caught the Lo train at the station and drove straight to the ho- tel where Mr. Dacres was staying. Their interview was business-like and unemotional. Mr. Dacres had known Emily since she was a small child, and had managed her affairs for her since she came of age. "You must prepare yourself for a shock, Emily," he said. "Things are much worse for Jim Pearson than we imagined." "Worse?" "Yes. It's no good beating about the bush. Certain facts have come to light which are bound to show him up in a most unfavorable light. It is those facts which led the police actually to charge him with the crime. I should not be acting in your in.. terests if I withheld these facts from you." "Please tell me," said Emily. Her voice was perfectly calm and composed. It was not feelings that were going to help Jim Pearson, it was brains. She must keep all her wits about her. After a Japanese Proverb When one in deep distress I viewed, Straight by his sinking -ide I stood, And helped him to firm standing ground, When to my great delight I found The place trom which I set him tree Left a receptacle tor me, In which the trouble that l bore Fell, and by me was seenio more!
