“What’s that?”
A Tap on the Shoulder
“Are you coming quietly?"
Now that is a disturbing

England after a hazardous Atlan
tic crossing. Jerry Olitheroe, who
had just had time to draw in a deep
breath, like a man

he demanded.
"Better not make a scene.”
“Nothing is farther from
thoughts. Why should I”
“That’s the spirit, No use kick

There were two of them, one

"What am I supposed to

"Come off you high horse, Tony.”
"Don’t call me ‘Tony’. I shouldn’t
like it even if it happened to be
my name.”
Both detectives- chuckled. “Hur
ry up,” one of them insisted,
Hardly realizing that he <was be
ing hustled, Jerry found himself
being firmly escorted through the
administrative offices to where a
.closed car was waiting.
"Well,” he observed, "you’ve
certainly helped to t side-track a lot
of the formalities which T was ex
pecting to have to undergo."
"They’ll come later, and plenty
of them, Tony.”
"If only your familiarity could be
curbed I might be almost happy.
I'm Jerry to my friends.”
“I am Detective-Inspector Goode
and this is Sergeant Bodger—and
we know the joke about good and
bad by heart.”
"Thanks for telling me. Now
would you oblige by reporting what
I am supposed to have done, and
Who I’m supposed to be?

“I’d like to know your opinion
on this.” The Inspector said reflec
tively. He pulled a rather be
draggled print from his breast pock
et and held it out for inspection.
Jerry stared. “Why, that’ls the
image of me. Hang it all, it must
be me. Where did you iet it-”
"Records office, so don’t try to
snatch. We’ve plenty more in stock.
"Look here," Jerry broke in,
leaning forward to tap the inspec
tor lightly on the knee.
He shrank back in alarm as the
officer made, a menacing gesture.
“You’re Hable to get hurt if you get
rough,” he growled.
"I was only going to ask you to
be kind enough to tell me who Tony
is?”
“You ought to know better than
T do, Tony.”
That was about as annoying a
reply as any. At first the adven
ture had been mildly amusing, but
now it was getting tedious. Jerry
wanted to get away from these po
licemen and begin doing the things
he had promised himselL
A wild idea flashed into his head.
Escape! Why not create some sort
of a diversion, open the door of
the car and slip away before his
captors recovered from their as
tonishment? They were taking
things very calmly, Evidently this
'Tony, whoever he might be, was
not the type

Jerry had
a dueer sort
ing arrested
something to be accepted philosophi
cally. It was obvious that his own
attitude was bewildering. They
expected him to admit his identity,
and what seemed to be brazening
things out was considered not only
foolish, but reprehensible.
His likeness to the wanted crook
was awkward. Explanations would
take some time, and the cross-pur
poses might drag out a couple of
days or so while his proper iden
tity was being established.
Probably some form of compen
sation would be due to him, although
he doubted it. The mistake was
natural in the circumstances. Every
body was supposed

(Fortunately the
wide enough to permit the three of
them to be side by side. Next to
him was the sergeant, with Inspec
tor Goode opposite. His own po
sition was on the near side, A quick
glance assured him that the door
catch could be operated quickly,
Chance seemed to favour him
when they pulled up in-response to
a red traffic signal.
“Look at that!” Jerry suddenly
exclaimed, pointing out of the off
side window.
Two pairs of eyes jerked instinc
tively, and at that moment the pri
soner acted. Click went the latch,
open swung the door, and he took
a flying leap to the pavement.
“Stop him.” Excited cries warned
him that the chase was on. „ Break
ing into a jog-tnpt he slipped'through'
the pedestrians on the crowded
sidewalk, though one man did make
a half-hearted attempt to stay his
progress. Most of the people, how
ever, were too slow-witted to real
ize what was happening.
When they 'did so they joined in
the hue and cry with a will The odd
thing was that those in front did
not spring to action until he had
passed, probably under the impres
sion that he was leading- the pack
instead of being the quarry.
Turning a Corner brought a brief
respite, though not for long. They
were close on his heels, and it was
comparatively quiet in this thor
oughfare, which only accentuated
his activity, and threw up the ad
vancing horse into sharp relief.
Another corner! and here, before
he could control his pace, was an
obstacle which felt as solid as a
rock, although it emitted a pained
“Ouch,” when twelve stone of vir
ile humanity hurtled into him.
“What’s all this?” demanded the
rock, resolving itself into a uniform
ed constable.
Betraying yells of “Hold him”
made escape impossible, the offi
cer seizing him in a vice-like grip.
4 Inspector Goode forced his way
through the gathering crowd, close-
, ly followed by Sergeant Badger.
Both of them were breathing heav
ily, for the chase, though short, had
been taken at sprinter’s pace.
“Assaulted me in the execution
of my. duty,” exclaimed the con
stable.
“No I didn’t,” Jerry snapped. “It
was your own fault for getting in
my way. If it comes to that I’m the
one to complain. A more bony
bobby I’ve never experienced.”.
Something cold encircled his
wrist. “Taking no more risks,”
Goode observed, slipping the other
handcuff round his own wrist.
i “You’re a fool to think you could
get away, Tony.”
: The rest of the journey to the
police station was made on foot,
an escort of curious pedestrians fol-
. lowing it at a close distance, so close
'■ that their remarks could be distinct
ly heard,
An interested charge-sergeant,
seated at a high desk, regarded the
trio appraisingly when they entered
■ the police headquarters.
“Tony Montelli,” grunted Inspec
tor Goode briefly. “Chief in?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’ll see him straight away.”

isfaction.
At this point the inspector as
sumed an attitude pf» jportentlous
officialdom, holding himself stiff as
a ramrod and speaking in a peculiar
monotone.
"I was on duty at the docks at
2,40 p.m., sir. Acting on infor
mation received, Sergeant Badger
and myself kept observation of pas
sengers disembarking from the S.S.
Sylvania. I recognised Tony Montel-
li 'from photographs and description
supplied. I cautioned him in the
usual manner, and told hint he was
under arrest, He replied, ‘All right;
I’ll come quietly/ ”
Jerry gasped. “The . two main
prevarications are that there was
no, caution and I made no such re
mark/’ he complained.
Nobody took the slightest notice
of the interruption. "Did he,” ask
ed the superintendent?”
"Yes, sir. He insisted that he'
was not Tony Montelli and that it
was a case of mistaken identity. On
being shown a photograph, he said,
‘It is a very good likeness of me;
Where did you get it?’ ”
"Something of the kind, but not
the way you put it,” Jerry broke
in, "And let me tell you there was
no caution, like the officer states.
What I’m supposed to have done is
beyond my comprehension. Why in
the world won’t you take a glance
at my passport and then you’ll , see
that my name is Olitheroe.”
“Travelling with a false passport
is a particularly seriou.3 offence/’
Superintendent Didcott said menac
ingly.
"Won’t you tell me one thing,”
Jerry pleaded. “Suppose I did hap
pen to be this Tony, for the sake of
argument, what crime had I com
mitted?"
."Come off’it! What about
"Tremlett diamonds?"
"Never heard of them.”
“Or the Pascombe emeralds,
Van Eisen pearls, the star of
South and all the other jewel jobs?"
“Out of my orbit.”
"Eh! Oh, I see, you mean they’ve
been passed on. Those you haven’t,
hidden away. That reminds me."
Badger nodded anderstandingly
The suspect had not been searched.
There was no syptom of surprise
when this unpleasant process prov
ed negative. Evidently they did not
expect him to be carrying any of the
loot. Comments were made on the
comparative modesty of his finan
cial possessions, a state of affairs
which the superintendent was in
clined to attribute to ’
ness.
When ,he came to
passport he chuckled,
did you say you were travelling un
der?” he queried
"My own—Jerry Olitheroe.”
"Tut-tut! Deceivers need a long
memory. Think again; The Clith-
eroe alias must have been used on
some previous trip, or perhaps
there’s a stock |o be dipped into
to suit the occasion.”
"What in the name of Maude
Kelly are you maundering about
this time?”
The superintendent tapped the
cover of the slim booklet emblaz

things aren’t as
one good thing in
That "nice quiet cell’’ was ■ well
suited to meditation. Jerry threw
himself down on the truckle bed -and
indulged in some heavy thinking.
One thing was certain, that he was
the identical image of an interna
tional crqok. From - that fact
had to work backwards.
Montelli must have travelled
that same boat, risking all sorts
trouble to make the crossing Pos
sibly he was disguised. Then Tony
must have spotted his double and
determined to put it to his advan
tage. Somehow or other he had
switched papers, not such a dif
ficult feat for anyone used to help
ing himself to other people’s be
longings.
So faiK so good-—or tyad. Theor
etically it should be simple enough
to establish his rightful identity,
It was imperative that this should
be done without deJay. The author-'
ities were rightly cautious about
people coming into the country.
Well, there were friends ready
speak for him—-Tom Morrow,
instance, or the Brodericks,
Brightening up he hammered
the door to attract attention.
"Here, what’s the game?” The
attendant was frowning furiously
when he came to see what the noise
was about.
"Can I see the superintendent?”
Jerry asked,
“No you can’t. He’s gone out.
And don’t you kick up any more
row. There’s a bell in the corner.
First-class hotel accommodation
we give oui'fguests, Now pipe down!”
“But I must have a word with
somebody ,in authority without de
lay. I want to get. in touch wi^th
some of my friends.”
"Ho, you do, do you? So do we,
if it comes to that."
“Then you really will help* me
bring them here?”
"Bring ’em here! Strewth! You
want to blow the gaff, hey?”
■Jerry groaned. “I don’t know
what you’re talking about again,!
but if it will help I’m ready to blow
anything.”
“Wait here,” the man said, as if
it was a matter of allowing person
al preference. As he slammed and
double-locked ' the door behind him
the prisoner grinned wryly.
“A Question of Technique”
Five minutes later his old
quaintances, Inspector Goode
Sergeant Badger entered the cell.
Both of them seemed jovially ex
pectant. “Hear you want to spill the
beans," the former observed with
a wide grin.
"Well, I want you to get hold of
Mr. Thomas Morrow, of 87 Lebanon
Avenue, Chesworth, and Mr. "George
Broderick, of thex Limes, Monteith
Street, Wickston,'^ quickly as you
can.”
"Rely on me, Tony. In half an
hour they'll be between bars."
"What?" x
"Safe «in jail! What about Slim
Annie, aren’t you going to put us
on to her as well?”
“Dolt—idiot — crass imbecile;'
You can’t go about arresting in
nocent* citizens all oVer the place.
I want these-people to tell you ,who
I really am, They’re friends of
mine—known me for years.”
"Oh,” The Inspector expectorated
thoughtlessly on the spotless floor,
and then, with a sen^e of proper
regard for his surroundings, crub-

"Mr. Morrow is -a chartered ac

regarding Jerry intently. ’ "Odd,”
said he. "Shouldn’t be surprised if
you turned out not to be Tony Mon

"You’-re talking out of the back

snarled. “Keep a grip on yourself
or this fellow will get you into be
lieving he’s the EmpSror of China. ’
* “And yo'U’ll make me think I real
ly am this Tony person,” Jerry re
torted despairingly.
“It’s a question of technique,"
Sergeant Badger said and winked.
So far as could be judged, mat
ters were at a deadlock. The po
lice Were so convinced that they had
the wanted man that they suspected
trickery where attempts were made
to straighten things Out.
Of .course, the mistake could not
go on indefinitely. Better settle
down for the night, hoping that the
morning would see an end to his
troubles.

say end seemed to think it both a
waste of time and a deliberately
engineered annoyance when he en
deavoured to explain tho truth of
the position. **

Races were also enjoyed by the
children.
Well-arranged projects, many of
a patriotic nature, were displayed
by each school, Garden products,
flowers, fruit, poultry and livestock,
filled to capacity the show building.
Specimens of art, woodwork and an
tiques’ attracted special attention.
