(Now Go On With The Story) A Most antique dealers knew Simon the head of the firm of hat name. To the majority, the its were a mystery.

They usuaged to survive every crisis and mass money: All four members of lie firm lived, in.an expensive raan- yet Uieir business premises onsisted of one small, dingy shop, ad this generally left hi the charge i' an. assistant. One night, a little before twelve rclock, a motor car drew up out- lide Simon Lamovit's private residence. Evidently its occupant had IITC access to the house, for he lashed the car, latchkey in land and opened the front door. His arrival brought into the- hall fat, paunchy, bald-headed man of Ibnufc sixty-five.

'Here you are--at last, 11 the alter said with an air of relief. There was a surprised, dishev- look about Simon; the air of vulture unexpectedly. interrupted i the midst a feast of carrion. L'uere was an air of disorder, too, Ihout the room into which he took lis brother. The rugs were kicked some of the chairs overturned, curtains screening the French torn.

Bottles and glasses lay brokeu on the polished table, their final contents still dripping unheeded on to an expensive Turkish rug. "Well, how did it happen? Amos demanded. Simon threw out fat, hairy, deprecating hands. "He looked so mild. He talked so simple.

Seemed sueh an utter mug. Who was to know he was as cute as the devil 1" "But what did he up, you fool," Amos raged, his fat face crimson with anger and frustration. "He let off some sort of fumes that choked and blinded us," Simon whimpered. "And before we knew wnat was happening he had grabbed the things 'and gone." "But why wasn't that blasted choked and blinded too?" "He had his handkerchief to his face. It was all over in a moment, nut by then he was out of the As if on the verge of tears Si- jion paused.

"Wally and Oscar went after him. That's nearly an hour ago. As they didn't come back I thought I'd better ring you up," he fin- brother, a cue. A sudden idea across Amos Lamovit's subtle brain. 'We most see she doesn't know.

Bluff her into thinking we've still got them." He'll tell her the moment he jets in touch." We must keep him from getting in touch." 'How?" Simon asked, his bald, vulture-like head craned eagerly towards his brother. Amos, however, was looking at Walter. "Was there a telephone in that girl's flat?" "There was a connecting wire anyhow, and I cut it." "Oood lad!" Amos said approvingly. "But ho may have phoned her before I cut it," Walter pointed out. Gnawing 'a thumb Amos paced the room, raging at his brother, yet knowing nothing could be done until his nephews returned.

In course of the sound of the front door opening brought him to a standstill. The next moment Walter Lamoyit came in; a tall, well-dressed man in the early thirties, his good looks marred by eyes set too close you get him?" Amos jerked. The newcomer shook his head. "Where is he then?" Walter explained the happenings of the last hour. "I left Oscar outside," he finished, "ready to shoot the moment T.

B. appears." "From what I know of that little blighter he isn't likely to appear," Amos grunted. "And Oscnr can't stay there when daylight comes and people get about." "I know that," Walter said. 'That's why I'm here to arrange what we'd better do." "Xow Helen knows he's tl.ose letters we'll soon he in tl work-house," Simon whimpered. This remark seemed to" give his "He may have," Amos agreed.

"But I happen to know Helen's at a 'do' tonight, so he wouldn't get In a case like this he wouldn't ilare leave any message with a party. Now," Amos went on slu'uiv. "we've got to see Roy Bur ney doesn't leave that flat I don't quite see how we're going to manage that." That shows, Wally, that you underrate your old uncle. How's this?" He unfolded a plan so neat ant that it seemed to hold no flaw. But what about the girl?" icr asked.

She'll have to take her chance Serve her right for butting in." "Well, we can only he haugei once, whether we kill one person or two." "'Don't talk like that, father said, suddenly gibbering careful, the police wil never find out who did it." "I'll be careful all right. You needn't worry about that. Even if uncle is the one with the ideas, I'm the man with the nerve, to carry 'hem out." In mutual appreciation, uncle and nephew beamed on one another. In a very deflated mood Ann Carmichael arose the next morning. The excitement of the previous evening hnd evaporated, leaving her face to.

face with dreary facts. The thought of her own and her mother's plight accompanied her as she washed and dressed. It stalked her into the hall, followed ildr into the kitchen, and remained beside her as she put on the kettle an early morning enp of tea. It phased her back into the hall when she went to fetch in the morning ailk. There it was thrust, aside for a moment wheu the recollection of he previous night's adventure nsde her open the door with caution, and keep it on the chain while she stretched a long arm for the pint bottle standing outside.

Once back in the kitchen, however, her troubles were again to the I'oi e. The sight of the milk bottle jruugiit William forward, filling place with his purring as he rubbed hij sleek, sinuous length around her ankles. He was a problem also. His future uncertain. Ann hoped to smuggle him into her school, but she was doubtful about n's welcome, and her own too, if she appeared with, this encumbrance.

With the tip of a corkscrew she removed the cardboard disc from the milk bottle. Some of the contents she poured into a jug fo CONSTIPATION BRINGS MANY ILLS DID you know that constipation often brings despondency? Poisons snread through the system. You lack pep.
