Better put it in your bank till I arrive shall write you later about date of my arrival. Faithfully yours, "Stephen Purvis." "That," remarked Ayscough, glancing at the rest, "clearly refers to whatever it was that Mr. Multenius took from his bank on the morning of his death. It also refers to Mr. Levendale without doubt." He drew the other letter to him and read it out. "October 10th, 1912.
"You've seen him there?" demanded Levendale. "I saw him there during last night I know him to be there he will be there, either until you take him, or until his arrangements are made for getting out of this country," answered Yada. Levendale jumped up, as if for instant action. But the Inspector quietly tapped him on the elbow. "He promised to tell you how to take him, Mr. Levendale," he said.
The trim beard and mustache were hopelessly lost, and there were lines on Levendale's face which they concealed, but Levendale himself was now smartly groomed and carefully dressed, and business-like, and it was with the air of a man who means business that he strode into the room and threw a calm nod to the officials.
"I should ha' thought, now, that if it had been left in a 'bus, the conductor would ha' noticed it, quick." "So should I," said Levendale. "Anything else?" he added, glancing at Ayscough. "Well, no, Mr. Levendale, thank you," replied the detective. "At least not just now. But the fact is, Mr.
The fact of the book's having been found should most certainly have been mentioned, at once. I shall adjourn for a week, from today, and you will produce the book and bring Mr. Spencer Levendale here as a witness. This day week, gentlemen!" Melky Rubinstein turned, whispered a hurried word to Zillah and Mrs. Goldmark, and then, seizing Lauriston by the elbow, drew him quickly away from the court.
"Then I'll tell you," said Levendale. "A Chinese fellow one Chang Li. He's got them both! And Stephen Purvis and I have been after him for all the days and nights since we disappeared and we're beaten! Now you'll have to take it up and I'd better tell you the plain truth about what's no doubt seemed a queer business from the first. Half-an-hour's talk now will save hours of explanation later on.
Whoever has found the same will be most handsomely rewarded on bringing it to Spencer Levendale, Esq., M.P., 591, Sussex Square, W." Lauriston read this twice over and putting the paper in his pocket, finished his dressing and went straight to the police-station.
"You sent for me," he said brusquely. "I came the instant I got your note. Grayson kept me talking downstairs. You're bothered about Mr. Levendale?" "Yes," she answered. Then she pointed to a chair. "Won't you sit down?" she said, and took a chair close by. "I sent for you, because it may seem strange, but it's a fact! I couldn't think of anybody else!
"Levendale comes from those parts!" he muttered. "Came here some two or three years ago by all I can gather." "Just so," said Mr. Penniket. "Therefore, possibly this South African business, in which my late client was undoubtedly engaged, is connected with Mr. Levendale. That can be found out.
"You can take it from me considering all that I've been told this afternoon " said the old solicitor, "that Spencer Levendale is Sam Levin come back from South Africa, a millionaire. I'm convinced of it! And now then, gentlemen, what does all this mean? There's no doubt that old Multenius and Levendale were secretly mixed up. What in?
