That your governor over the chimney-piece there?" "Taken a few years ago," replied Mr. Stipp carelessly. "I say you don't know what Hollis was empowered to offer us, do you?" The two detectives looked at each other; a quiet nod from Starmidge indicated that he left it to Easleby to answer this question. And after a moment's reflection, Easleby spoke. "Mr.
"Stipp's my name, sir," answered the manager promptly. "Stipp James Stipp." "Thank you, sir," said Easleby, with great politeness. "Well, Mr. Stipp, you see from our cards who we are. We've called on you as representing Mr. Godwin Markham on behalf informally, Mr. Stipp of Mrs. Lester, of Lowdale Court, Chesham." Mr.
Hollis has called on you, then?" he said. "Hollis was here last Friday afternoon," answered Mr. Stipp. "Called on me at five o'clock just before I was leaving for the day. He never offered me any money! Glad if he had it's time young Lester paid up." "What did Hollis come for, then, if that's a fair question?" asked Easleby.
He closed the door upon them and Starmidge and Easleby glanced round before taking the chairs to which Mr. Stipp had pointed. There was little to see.
The first term of the Circuit Court was held in April, 1831, at the place indicated, the historic 'Stipp House, but recently standing, a pathetic reminder of by-gone days.

"Why should I?" asked Mr. Stipp. "What do I know about him and his arrangements?
Primed with these, and knowing that the demand was extortionate, he went, alone, to Markham's office in Conduit Street. Markham was away, but Hollis saw the manager, a man named Stipp. He saw something more, too. On Stipp's mantelpiece he saw a portrait which he recognized immediately as one of Gabriel Chestermarke. "Now, you want to know how Hollis knew Gabriel Chestermarke.
He never mentioned Scarnham to me." Easleby laid a finger on the marked newspaper. "You see some names of Scarnham people there, Mr. Stipp?" he observed. "Those names Horbury Chestermarke. You don't happen to know 'em?" "I don't know them," replied the manager, with obvious sincerity. "Banking people, all of them, aren't they?
We took passage on the hospital transport Thomas, bound for Cairo, with eighty wounded soldiers from the Red River expedition, all discharged or furloughed for home. Medical Inspector Stipp kindly gave us a state-room. We were grateful to our Heavenly Father for the many kind friends we everywhere found, although surrounded by bitter enemies.
"That, of course, is what we shall say and all that we shall say to Mr. James Stipp. If, however, we find Gabriel Chestermarke there well, then, we shall say nothing at first. We shall leave him to do the saying it'll be his job to begin." "All right," assented Starmidge, after a moment's reflection. "We'll try it!
