"For a man who's supposed to be In my employ," Blocker said, "you certainly seem to give a minimum of co-operation. How about this Thomas Decker? Why don't you give me an opportunity to run his story7. You promised me that I'd get a break there."

""No. I didn't" Griff said slowly. "I promised you that I'd think it over, but I'm going to give you a

break."

"Yes," Blecker remarked sarcas- tiently. I presume you'll let me ure my own mind to think out where he

"Bleeker,” Griff paid, "if I take you, to him will you promise me that you won't publish anything about it unless I say you can?"

"No, I'l publish_anything.", "Then I can't take you to him." "Then I'll And him by myself.” "Go ahead."

There was a moment of silence, "If." Bleeker said. "I had given you the promise would you have inken me to him?"

"Yes,"

"Why would you do that and nat let me publish what I discovered?"

"Because I don't know what we're going to discover. I know what I think we're going to discover. If I'm right, there's no reason why you can't publish it. It's only in case I should be wrong that I wouldn't want the thing made public."

"Inn Decker told you anything more than he told the police?'

"No."

"That's straight?" "Absolutely.

"Why are you an anxious to keep him hidden then?"

"Because," Griff remarked. "I think that he iled both to the police and to me. I think that he got a better look at the murderer than he says he did." "Why don't you cross-examine him a little bit and find out?"

before he could say word Griff nodded and said to the man who posed as his valet. "Come in, Decker, and sit down. I want you to talk with this man."

噩

The man in livery hesitated for a moment, then took four swift stops, nervously, "You've let the cat out of ant down abruptly in a chair, sald the bag now. Why did you do it?"

Griff's tone was not unkindly. "Decker," he said, "you told me and you told the police that you couldn't. be certain of the identity of the man who drove that gray Cadillac car.”

Sidney Griff opened the drawer of his desk and took out an automatic.

"Carry a gun?" he asked casually of Blesker.

Bleeker slipped the receiver back, on its hook,

"No," he said, eyeing the automatic with frowning distaste, "and I don't

"Then," Griff maid, "your testimony wouldn't have helped the police in the least."

"That's what I told them," Docker the sald. "I explained that to officer."

"And," Grif continued, "since your textimony couldn't have hurt anyone, no one would harm you to keep you from giving that testimony."

Decker moistened his lips with him tongue, swallowed and said nothing. "Therefore," Blocker said, "you must know something that you're keeping back."

Decker kinred at Day Bleecker, then turned to Griff.

"That wasn't the roan," he said, "who was driving the gray Cadillac car."

Griff nodded. "I thought so." he said. "Now, let's have the truth, Decker."

How many times at the end of a perfectly cheery dinner is this remark made in Hongkong, when the two or three uninteresting liqueurs are handed round? Strangely enough, so many hosts neglect this final touch to an otherwise excellent repast.

And yet, there are several delightfully subtle liqueurs which will not only be greatly appreciated, but will capture the {magination of your guests and create an atmosphere of soothing contentment.

Of course, the wonderfully subile spirits of COINTREAU are universally known.

The secret charms of SEVE SAINTONGE; the delicacy of MAJESTIC, and of those exquisite "LIQUEURS DE FRAISES" and "LIQUEURS DE FRAMBOISES" embodying the soul of French strawberries and raspberries, are the joy of epicures.
