A TALE OF SCOTIANP YARD 6y H. riELDINQ^H^StKIIk
CHAPTER 51
GILLIAN TREMBLED, but she
•aid nothing.
“No one'a following us. We’re
ante. Now, then, Gillian, 1 want you
to trust me. I’m your friend, re
member. No matter what the trouble
is into which you've got yourself, I
want to help you." But the grip on
the arm did not relax.
Gillian suddenly quickened her
step. Just' round a corner hung a
sign. "Public telephone." It was a
grocery shop and postoffice combined.
"1 must telephone." Gillian wrenched
her arm free and darted Inside. Etta
followed, looking darkly angry. But
Gillian was inside the single tele
phone booth. Etta stood in the
doorway biting her Up. A man
passed in with a civil apology. Be
stepped to the counter.
“May I use your desk telephone for
a minute? I’m in a fearful rush."
He spoke fluently, and the damsel
across the counter pushed the In
strument over. Id exchange for a six
pence and a "keep the change, miss”.
Down the phone went the number of
an ordinary office in Piccadilly.
When he got the connection, as he
did instantly, he said one word which
meant Scotland Yard, and then went
©n: “I’m speaking from 193 Upper
Berkeley street. Is Mr. Pip In?”
Apparently he was not, for with a
disappointed, “I’ll ring again later,
then," the man hung up and pushed
back the Instrument before be went
on out.
His Inquiry had meant that any
message now being sent from tlie
same office would be instantly dupli
cated to Scotland Yard as well. The
message was to a house near Vic
toria Station and was as follows. In
a swift rush of Gillian Dundas’
voice:
"Are you there? Are you there?
Thursday.”
"Speaking,” came In an almost
•qually swift reply. "May ninth."
One was the day of the week, the
other the date. Evidently a protec
tive signal. Then came again in the
hard clear treble:
“Likely girl is a dead cert."
There came a sharp exclamation
from the man and then in a rush,
•*At once!” in tones both urgent and
reassuring, not at all the voice in
which the name of even the most
'••rtain winner .. usually ret eived.
This was a request for assistance ofi
gome kind, a plea for help on her|
•art. which was instantly responded}
ft* by him. „
Meanwhile the girl telephoning
from the public booth peered out at
her companion. She saw that Dora

a young woman watting in a taxi a
little farther along, got out. motion
ing to the driver to rollow her.
Pointer’s orders were that Gillian
Dundas should not be left alone.
Gillian doubled back down a side
street and got a taxi just as Etta
Naylor was looking incredulously
into an empty booth. For a few sec
onds Etta stood waiting, thinking
Gillian must be consulting a direc
tory somewhere, but after a while, a
question or two told her that the
only one hung inside the kiosk. She
went to the door and looked up and
down the street. No sign of the
girl. A taxi-driver told her that he
had seen a young lady nip out and
down the next street “like billy oh".
Etta Naylor went first white, then
red, then with a flame In her eye
told him to drive her to Gillian’s
studio.
At the studio she found no one In.
She spent another 15 minutes wait
ing at the door. Surely Gillian Dun
das would come on here, even sup
posing she mistrusted her—Etta’s—
offer to help. Where else could sho
go?
The young woman who had fol
lowed Gillian could have told her
that Gillian was making for a dilapi
dated apartment house —a house that
Claridge had once entered. To the
same place Strange had already been
followed by what looked like a news
paper boy wheeling a motorcycle.
For 10 minutes Gillian and
Strange were together, then they
came out walkings towards a very
sporty-looking sports car with a
streamline that promised 80 with the
wind. Strange was apparently try
ing to persuade her to do something
. . . to go somewhere. . . .
The newspaper boy was reading
the address on his parcel and admir
ing the car’« bonnet.
“If you don't come with me. It’s the
police," he heard Strange say Anally,
in a tone low enough, but so charged
with anger that it carried like a
shout. "Take your choice."
Evidently the girl found this diffi
cult Terror and hope seemed to be
struggling inside her as she looked
at the car —the man—the street But
she was shrinking away from the
car—and the man—when a taxi
buzzed round a corner. Yet another
taxi appeared behind it but to pass
on—and stop out of sight around a
bend. Mrs. dL Souza leaned forward.
She was in the first of the two.
“Miss Dundas!" she called, as
though iu great surprise. "How
lucky to have run across you! I’ve
heard of such a good post for you.
Do come and lunch at Harrod’s with
me while I tell you all about It.
You’ll love it"
Gillian did not look as though she
loved anything In the world as she
moved away from the young man’s
car. Strange looked sullen. His
lips were moving, urging the girl to

jump in and lex him show what bia
oar could do. But Gillian turned to
Mrs. de Souza, and now looked stead
ily into the other’s plump, cheerful,
face.
“Yes, I’ll come. Thank you very
much.” And with what looked like a
sudden spurt of resolution, she
opened the taxi door, jumped in. and
slammed it shut on the two of them.
Mrs. de Souza, still smiling, gave the
order to the driver and they were
off. The newsboy, too. had gone on.
this time mounting his bicycle, and
the taxi waiting round the corner
moved off. Yet another taxi, the one
that had followed Miss Dundas—

Gillian sat. The fare jumped out.
said a word to an errand boy peer
ing in at the first big window, and
then talked for a minute with the
cab-driver who had followed Mrs. de
Souza. He drove off.
Meanwhile Strange. muttering
oaths in keeping with his name, had
leapt into his car. For a short dis
tance he was followed by the same
boy who had shadowed him to the
apartment house, then, when an
empty furniture van pulled out from
the curb and took the road alongside
the sporting-car. the boy stopped and
returned to the house where Strange
and Gillian had met. and where she
had Anally left him.
He was kept waiting a long time
at the door, but finally it was opened
by a slovenly-iooking man with a
puffy, lined face, the face of an
habitual drinker.
“Mr. Strange? He’s gone out."
He put out his hand.
“When’ll he be in?"
“Can’t say.” The man shook ft
tousled head. “Keeps any old hours."
“But he lives here, doesn’t he?”
The boy looked startled.
The servant nodded. “If you can
call it living. He comes in every
now and then for letters and so on."
“When do you expect him back?”
“No saying. Never no saying.
May be hours, may be days, may be
weeks, see ?”
“Do you forward packages for
him?”
Again a shake of the head.
“He calls for them. If there are
any, * Very few come for him here.
Lives in the country, does Mr.
Strange, and just drops in here every
now and then for convenience.”
“How about that lady I saw Just
now drive up, stoutish, middle-aged
party? Doesn’t she live here either?
I don’t like to leave me parcel just
to no one."
“You mean his aurrf? No. she
doesn’t live here. Comes to see him
every now and then.”
The detective decided that he
could ask no more for the moment.
His orders were to be exceedingly,
careful.
