White, but added quickly, "except, of course, in so far as the finance of Punsonby's, which is one of the soundest business concerns in London, Mr. McNorton. We pay our dividends regularly and our balance sheets are a model for the industrial world." "So I have heard," said McNorton dryly. "I am interested in syndicates, too. By the way, what is Doctor van Heerden's scheme?" Mr.
If necessary you can pull a gun I know it isn't done in law-abiding London," he smiled at Superintendent McNorton, "but I guess you've got to let me do a little law-breaking." "Go all the way," said the superintendent easily. "That will do, Fenson. You know Miss Cresswell?" "Sure, sir," said the man, and melted back into the shadows. "Where are you going now?" asked Kitson.
"Doctor van Heerden is very clever," he said; "he has great schemes, in one of which I am ah financially interested, That is all I have put money into his ah syndicate, without, of course, knowing the nature of the work which is being carried out. That I would impress upon you." "You are a trusting investor," said the good-humoured McNorton. "I am a child in matters of finance," admitted Mr.
The door was opened unceremoniously and a man strode in. McNorton was the first to recognize the intruder and rose to his feet. "I'm sorry to interrupt you," said Lord Sevington it was the Foreign Secretary of Great Britain himself. "Well, Beale, the fantastic story you told me seems in a fair way to being realized." "This is Mr. Kitson," introduced Stanford, and the grey-haired statesman bowed.
"It's a long time," said McNorton; "but don't let us get off the subject of your investment, which interests me as a friend. You gave Doctor van Heerden all this money without even troubling to discover whether his enterprise was a legal one. I am not suggesting it was illegal," he said, as White opened his mouth to protest, "but it seems strange that you did not trouble to inquire."
Beale had a long consultation with McNorton at Scotland Yard, and on his return to the hotel, had his dinner sent up to Kitson's private room and dined amidst a litter of open newspapers. They were representative journals of the past week, and he scanned their columns carefully. Now and again he would cut out a paragraph and in one case half a column.
"I want to see him about his Green Rust scare Beale has gone single-handed into this matter," said the superintendent, shaking his head, "and he has played the lone game a little too long." "Is it very serious?" "It may be an international matter," replied McNorton gravely, "all that we know at present is this.
It ran: "From Inspector-in-charge, S. Paddington, to Supt. McNorton. One body found, believed to be a man named Heyler." There is a menace about Monday morning which few have escaped. It is a menace which in one guise or another clouds hundreds of millions of pillows, gives to the golden sunlight which filters through a billion panes the very hues and character of jaundice.
She took it out and left the envelope behind, and van Heerden did not discover his loss until he went to find the voucher to give Milsom the code. Don't you remember? In the first place he said he couldn't give him the code until after ten o'clock, which is probably the hour the pawnbrokers open for business." McNorton nodded again.
I'll put you in charge of the case, McNorton, you have the search-warrant already? Good!" He shook hands with Beale. "You will make a European name over this, Mr. Beale," he said. "I hope Europe will have nothing more to talk about," said Beale. They passed back to McNorton's office. "I'll come right along," said the superintendent.
