The clientele of the Negresco is in the cateiory known as mixed. in Edwardian days it was a favourite resort of light comedy stars--pest. preeent and futuro—and of the more sporting section of what was then called the Upper Ten.

To-day its chief patrons are saturnine, hook-nosed gentlemen and that class of women» described as actresses. The nturnine gentle- men have the volubillty and wealth of gesture which derive from an Eastern origin, and have their busi- ness in the vicinity of ‘Wardour street and shaftesbury Avenue.

seated at one of the small tables in the lounge. Robin Foster survey- ed the company assembled. It was still early in the day and the piptce was half empty. He hailed a wait- er.

"I'm looking for someone here." he said, “I believe he comes here regularly." V

“Yes, sir?" the waiter returned politely. "What is his name. sir?" Leisurely Robin dipped his hand into his ‘trousers pocket and ex- tracted two half-crowns. He slipped these across the glass-covered table. "I don't know his name. That's where I want your assistance. I can tell you one distinctive thing about him that may help, though. He has had an accident to one of

“his hands—i.he right, I think. The

fingers seem partially webbed." "Oh; how I've got you, air." the waiter answered. “You mean Mr. Cvordon—Mr. Maurice Gordon. Yes. his right hand is queer. He's quite an old customer. .He makes a book, you know."

As he imparted this last piece of information, his gaze met Robin's in polite, but increased inquiry. "Yes," Robin thought it wise to say—-in any case he now did know. “I know he makes a book. I may want to do 3 little business with him. What's the best time‘ to get him?"

"After lunch, sir. He always comes into this lounge for coffw and a fine round about two o'clock. You'd get him then. sure."

“That will suit me first rate. I'll look in again about that time Thanks very much."

“Shall I let him know who..?" Robin hesitated.

"Well,” he said at last, "I tell you what you might do. when you see me here again you could point me out to him and say I'd be oblig- ed ii he'd join me for I minute or two. Tell him I won't keep him long."

He rose, and went out.

He had reason to feel pleased with that few minutes‘ work be reflected.

It was Brett who had told Laur- ette ot the existence of the web- fingered man. He had declared this man was the last person he could recollect having met prior to the murder of Mr. Dexter. he had en- coun‘ ed him in the Negresco, had had a few drinks with him. and then remebered no more until he wandering through the West E:nd—some thirsy hours later, as he had subsequent- ly discovered. .It was then he had telephoned to Mr. Dexter's house, thereafter calling at Mr. I.-essing's.

At two o‘clock Robin returned to the Negresco. re-entered the lounge and found a. seat at a table. look- ing round he sought the eye of the friendly -waiter, who, comprehend- ing immediately inclined his head and crossed to where three men out at one of the tables. The waiter bent over them, and the member of the trio whose back was towards Robin swung sharply round,uid looked searchingly across at him. Then the man rose and clme smart- ly over to his table. He was of sturdy build. middle height. and rather overdressed.

Robin. rising. greeted him by name. and adding, "Will you please sit down." motioned him‘tu the chair opposite. -

“You may think all this rather strange," Robin continued amidoly, "but I hope you will excuse me when I explain. I won't detain you long. Meantime, -will you have something to drink?"

"Not for me," Gordon replied abruptly as he watched him under his heavy lids. He spoye in a thick, oily voice. I have had all I want to drink with my friends."

“As you wish. My name..."

"You want to make a bet?" inter- rupted.

"No. Its true I suggested to the waiter I did. I merely wanted to stifle his curiosity. My business is rather more serious."

“I lmow your name all right. its Ioster. ain't it?" the other proceed- ed swiftly before Robin could eon- timle. "Robin Poster?"

He could not 1 his astonish- ment. nor did he make any effort to do so. "Well. I'll be dammed." he said. smiling. "How the devil did you know?"

The other twisted his lips in a meeting smile, "That don't take much doing when your photo- lraphh been plastered all over the nevlspepgrl in their song-and-dance
