GRUBER \ Synoptit of Preceding Chapter* Mr I'hillipt. an artist, informed by Inspector Peace of the mysterious death of a sculptor, consents to try and identify the victim, whom he finds to he Amaroff, a Pole. Later he goes to d^matoff * studio and finds Inspector Peace In cMirersalion with Mr. Nicolin, head of the Russian Service in l^ndon. There are two men replacing some papers in a desk- One, unseen by the rest of the party, tabes an impression of a bey- Mr Phillips is invited by the inspector to join him in mabmg further inquiries. I hey met, Serjeant Jacbson, who hands the inspector the address of a club ‘where Amaroff is said to have called often to see (jrealman. the proprietor, and informs him that Creatman i private room has a sanded floor—Amaroff uas said to have been billed in a room with a sanded floor and removed on a coster's harrow. * \Vf wen- drawing ncarrr to our gam*-; thf M*-»-nt wan growihg ntrongi-r. Ad dington IVa<-e leant a htlle forward, with a twist in his jaw that raised a ripple of- inuseles under the skin. “Continue, if you please;” he said. “The room is at the rear of the cluh, and there is a hack staircase to the yanf behind, where costers store their harrows .when ‘not in use. It fits in with what you told uis to inquire for, don’t it, sir?” “ Y es.” The inspector’s stick recommenced its interlacing circles on the fh»or; ami we sat and wanehed, as if thereby li«- wen- disentangling bis sordid story. So still were we all that tin* bartender poked his luminous nose from Ins % e.'up- in the hope that we had gone. He withdrew it with remarks on tin- police forty- which were distinctly audible, and opposed to the compli mentary. Suddenly the in-pcctor turned to me with a motion of half-* apology, as if at tin- neglect of a guest. “There an* times, Mr. Phillips/’ he said, “when evidence runs in absurd contradictious. Observe^the. present case, in which you are so. good as to interest yourself. We have it from the lliivdan police that Amaroff is their „ man, and that in their opinion—they being Well qualified to judge — he was murdered by Nihijr^ts. We now leant that he was aofuirently on inti mate terms with Nihilists, and we have good reason to believe that he was strangled in <id*- of'their cluhs. W hat do you gather ffom that?" “Thev/discovcrcd his treachery, and took an excusable revenge.” said 1. “A sound conclusion. And now let- UAsuppose that Amaroff was not a police spy at all; being, in fact, a dangerous Nihilist. What then?" “Why set yourself such a puzzle?” “Nut for amusement,” In- said, with his quiet stml*-. “And now | '-propose a little experiment. Vou must intro duce us to this club. Jackson, the door-keeper will know you, and pass us in. Afterwards you will go to the back entrance in the yard you .-poke of, am! wait.

At our knock . a slide flew bark,.'■ami,'in t In gush of light, a hairy "face"examined us curiously. “Vat is et?” hi- saiil. Tin- si-rjcant Ht*-ppe«l forward ami whispered.

The inspector 1***1 the way up the stairs, and I followed at bis heels. The serjeant had disappeared. It was a broad, low room in which we found ourselves, the rafters of the roof unhidden by the plaster of a ceil ing. Round the walls on benches ranged behind tables a dozen nn-n sat smoking and drinking. The chatter of talk faded away as wi* entered. In silence they stared at us, calmly, judi ciously, without fear or curiosity. 1 could not have imagined a more composed and resolute company. I bit that I carried myself awkwardly, as an impertinent intruder should; but the inspector sauntered across' the room to a liar on the further side as calmly as if be were the oldest and most valued member in the .^club. A pale-faced man with a stained ami yellow beard rose from bis seat behind the glasses. His eyes wire fixed on Peace with a weak, pathetic expres sion like a dog in pain. “flood evening, Mr. Great man,” said tin- inspector, “('an 1 have a word with you?” “Yes, sir, if you will kindly step into my private room,” he answered in excellent English, opening a hatch in the liar. “This is the way, sir, if you will follow me.” We walked after him down a short passag** ami stopped before the dark ness of an open door.
