TIM JORDAN had one of the dullest nights he had ever spent in London. Mary went to bed early with a headache, and he was reluctant to leave the hotel. He had seen very little of her. She had spent most of the afternoon with Mr. Awkwright's solicitors, and if she had learnt anything about the will of that eccentric man she did not communicate it to Tim.
Early next morning the solicitor called again, and she went out with him. He read carefully every account he could gather of the Stocker murder, but no new clues had come to light. One theory, pur forward by a Midland paper, caught his attention: "It is possible that the murderer hid the proceeds of the robbery before he abandoned the car. There seems little doubt that he made his way back to London by train."
