THE VIADUCT MURDER

"There's one other question I want to ask you, a rather odd one. Have you any reason to think that Davenant was carrying a golf-ball in his pocket when he came up on Tuesday afternoon?"

"No: only I had a special reason for asking. Well, Miss Rendall-Smith, I'll do my best, and if I want any more information I suppose I can come over and see you. Are you on the telephone?"

"Yes; it's Binver 35. Thank you so much, Mr. Reeves; I shall expect great things of you," and he showed her out, still smiling encouragement.

"That's a damned fine woman," he said to himself as he shut the door after her.
