The Silver Rood Mystery" By LEWIS ALLEN BROWNE CHAPTER XIII "Henri Lardeau wouldn't take the best copy in the world as a' gift, Mr. Stevenson," Colton assured me. "I am amazed at the idea that he would steal a painting, but what Wally tells me seems to be evidence of it. If he did steal a painting from this man's library, you may wager your life it way an original and mighty valuable." "But, Mr. Colton," Mary said, "my uncle, Mr.

Montieth, would surely know if he owned a masterpiece, an original Van Dyck, and he has said many a time that it was merely a "Even if I knew your uncle, Miss," Colton said, eyeing her over the tops of his spectacles, "I would say that he- was mistaken. He mny have believed it to he a copy, I do not douhh that, and he may have got it for a song--" "It was given to him, he said," I explained. "The chances are, then, that the person who gave it to him didn't know its value. You say it was about two feet square, a child's head.

I can't picture him as a criminal, even though he is eccentric." 'Have you any idea where he can be located?" "Not the Icastj Mr. Stevenson. He ulways keeps that secret. It isn so much one of his eccentricities as it is that he usually has several priceless old masters and he doesn want anyone to know where he lins them." "I am afraid," I told Foxcroft; 'that we will never get him." "Yes you will--he is too well known in twenty big cities of the world, and too much wrapped up in art, to stay in hiding long," Colton assured us. He had to leave then.

Foxcroft assured us that "he was going to keep after Professor Henri Lardeau. He had pledged expenses to have his cousin get in touch with art people in all the large places and notify him, on sight of the man, "You will find that we are on the right clue, Harley," he said, a dozen times. i't was nearly darfc when we got (CorUlnued on Page Sixteen) KILGORE'S l.1nal«ntn Shailn Vtnrtrnn BUadi Carpel St, Tel. 8320 THE Radio That You've Been Looking Come see and hear this Zenith Model 6S249 Inches hiqh.
