CHAPTER 5t
POINTER HIMSELF, meanwhile,
had received word that Mrs. de
Souza and her maid had both left the
tlat in Mount street. This was the
lirst time since he knew of the lady’s
existence that the rooms had been
deserted. The maid, his watcher
phoned him, had gone off in the op
posite direction to her mistress.
Pointer hurried to the building. It
was a flat which had been taken
furnished for six months, and as he
had learned, there had been no work
men In It since she took it. In other
words, he did not think It likely that
there was any secret hiding-hole
fitted in to wall or floor or ceiling.
A question to the owners, put ap
parently by a dealer trying to please
a collector, had negatived the idea
that he possessed any article of
furniture or old picture frame with
a secret drawer or concealed space
in it All this might not have been
true of the house in Palace Green,
and Pointer determined to do his
best to avoid having to search it too.
He had already sent a window
cleaner, and a gas inspector to look
over the flat, but each had found the
maid beside them all the time of their
round.
It was a stormy day threatening
to grow worse. As he pulled up, he
saw lights in the flat above Mrs. de
Souza's, belonging, as he knew, to a
young actor-manager. Asking for
him. he and his companion were al
lowed to pass up. A luncheon party
was on. Pointer decided he could
chance it. So he and Inspector
Watts walked up the stairs and
stopped at the floor below. A twist
with his master key, and he stepped
into the flat and shut the door be
hind them. He had a search war
rant. but he did not want to use it.
The two men worked swiftly and
carefully. After an hour and, a half
they looked at one another. They
had found nothing. It was possible
that Mrs. de Souza, supposing her
to be the supplier of the poison as
Pointer did. might have kept her
stock in some other place, but he ex
pected it to be within easy reach.
The flat was not abandoned. Nor
was it difficult to search. Something
about the paucity of personal be
* longings suggested that mistress and
maid were more or less prepared to
leave quickly. He knew from the
expert that the poison would prob
ably be in powder form, putty
colored powder with a faint smell as
of horseradish He did not waste
time going over the furniture a sec
ond time. If he and Watts could not
find it the first time they would not
the hundredth. He stood, head bent,
eyes on his shoes, deep in reverie,
while Watts stood by the door listen
ing for footsteps. Pointer was swift
ly running over the objects in the
rooms before his mind’s eye again.
Suddenly he took a step forward.
A He remembered a smart scarlet ink

holders es Jade and blue. The ink
was red* so were the nibs. The sort
WASHINGTON
at a Glance
.. By CHARLES P. STEWART ..
Washington, June 2. —Are there any
possibilities of the development of a
political leadership in oppositon to
Presdent Roosevelt?
The question is a deal discussed in
Washington.
Parties are all shot to pieces.
To dwell at length upon the G. O.
P. seemingly hopeless of disor
ganization is needless. But the Dem
ocrats ore badly split, too. Senator
Pat McCarran, of Nevada, has fought
the administration harder on various
issues than the average Republican.
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia has
-t'opght it with equal; vigor on various
other issues. Senator Huey P. Long
of ouisiana recently tore up a copy of
message to Congress, in
the course of debate, and tossed the
pieces into the air, to fall like a snow
storm in the legislative chamber, as
an expression of his opinon of such
recommendatons.
* * *
Obviously, then, some little anti-ad
ministration sentiment exists among
the lawmakers. And maybe it ac
curately reflects a modicum of dis
satisfaction among the disaffected
lawmakers’ home folk.
No one assumes that the malcon
tents are otherwise than in a minor
ity.
Still, there evidently is a faction of
them. It is a faction which possibly
has potentialities of growth, especial
ly if the New Deal fails to result in
materially improved economic condi
tions throughout the country, as the
months pass.
W]hat it lacks, however, is a cohe
sion thgt only leadership can give to
it. i
Can it find a leader?
* * *
Few political observers speak with
the slightest confidence of the pros
pect that one can be found in the
ranks of those who were identified
with the Hoover regime.
Analysts next turn their attention
to the list of G. O. P. progressives.
They appear to offer no leaderly
raw material, either.

of thing that is for decoration, not
for use.
•‘Did you look In the inkwell?” he
asked Watts.
“Yes. Full to the brim," was the
reply. Pointer went to It, inserted a
pencil and felt the smooth glass sides
and bottom. It was shallower than
one would have expected. He lifted
it out. It too was of opaque scarlet
glass, and fitted exactly into the
silver holder. The bottom must be
unusually thick. He poured the Ink
into a tumbler, and, as he inverted
it. out fell a flat capsule about an
inch thick, the exact size of the bot
tom of the well. Drying it carefully
so as not to let a drop fall, he found
the box had a screw lid fastened
with a narrow strip of surgical
plaster, the latter of quite recent
date. The inside of the glass was
full of putty-colored powder with a
faint horseradish smell. Pointer
emptied It into a glass box of his
own, wiped it, and put back into it a
powder similar in appearance and
smell, but harmless as chalk, of
which it was made. lie had with
him quite a little beauty parlor of
complexion powders of shades which
ranged from cream to nigger, and he
was careful to mix what he wanted
to the exact tint of that in the glass.
Everything put back, the two men
hurried out of the flat and sauntered
down the stairs, looking at peace
with all the world. The powder was
carried at once to the expert analyst.
It was the poison described by Dr.
Angelll and found in Tait’s dead
body.
While waiting a few minutes for
this. Pointer was told that Miss Dun
das had left the house in Great Cum
berland Place with Miss Henrietta
Naylor. That seemed all right. The
sharpest scrutiny that had been pos
sible in the short time since Tait’s
death had failed to find any hidden
acquaintanceship between any mem
ber of his household and the three
around whom the Yard’s suspicions
gathered. As long, therefore, as Gil
lian was with any of the Naylors she
should be safe, and Pointer wanted
to save her. if that was possible. But
he did not like the emptiness of Mrs.
de Souza’s flat He could now ask
for a warrant against her, and Lady
Ida, and Strange, and he intended to
do so at once. They would not wait
long, he feared, that clever trio.
Though another death would not do,
coming directly after Tait’s death by
poison, he believed that, had that
passed as heart failure as they had
expected, Gillian Dundas would not
be alive now. They held her silence,
it was true, because of the threat of
disclosing the fact that she had
taken part in blackmail, but if, as
Pointer felt sure, Mrs, de Souza was
in that too, for Gillian Dundas was
really too stupid to have found out
by herself what men to blackmail,
and how to set about doing it, even
Gillian must know that they could
not use that weapon without them
selves being cut In using it. She had
complicated matters, from their point
ot view, by going to the same house
as their victim Tait. That was clever
of her, so clever that it struck an

into account. There must be Vooi
in the girl. He would get the war
rant. execute it as soon as Mrs de
Souza was within reach, and theu
try for a word with Gillian.
A message came for him on t) ie
telephone while he was at the Yard
getting the warrant. It was of filt
rate importance. Pointer had had Ml
errand boys questioned who were
known to have delivered parcels m
the street around the hour when Tait
had collapsed. „ Working through
their own clubs, and the shops, he
had succeeded in rounding up quite
a number, and two of these had un
doubtedly seen Tait. One had no
ticed a big dark man, overtake him
stop him and light his cigaret at
Tait’s cigaret. As the wind was
strong, he had had to come quite
close for this. The boy could not
swear that he had touched him. but
he thought he had put a hand on his
arm. As to identifying the man. his
back had been to the boy, who had
also not noticed whether he wore
gloves or whether there was a bou
tonniere in his coat. This might or
might not be useful, but the time
was just a few minutes before Tait
collapsed, for the clock was striking
three. There was more to come.
Another boy had seen a gentleman
whom he had identified from his pic
tures as Mr. Tait. standing still, it
was just after the hour had struck,
therefore just after the other boy
had seen the man lighting his cig
aiet. Mr. Tait, this second boy saw,
was fumbling In his pocket—lie had
no gloves on—and after a second,
with a jerk as though something had
hurt him, had flung an ehvelope into
the gutter.
The boy had picked it up, and
found inside a very pretty artificial
sprig of lily of the valley, it was
slightly damaged. He had not
touched it beyond drawing it out by
its silver stalk, intending to wear it
next Sunday. He let the Yard man
have the whole for half-a-crown. So
Pointer now had his proof that it
was by means of one of the pretty
little Ricci boutonnieres that the pci
son had been given, for a careful
test showed that the whole sprig had
been thickly coated with it after *
was made up.
