CHAPTER I greet- who savours his period of exile, “What’s that?” A Tap on the Shoulder “Are you coming quietly?" Now that is a disturbing ing for anybody stepping ashore in England after a hazardous Atlan­ tic crossing. Jerry Olitheroe, who had just had time to draw in a deep breath, like a man native air after a expelled it angrily, he demanded. "Better not make a scene.” “Nothing is farther from thoughts. Why should I” “That’s the spirit, No use kick­ ing, We’ve a car waiting,” There were two of them, one on each side, stolid looking fellows with over have else. my "Police Officer’ them, Nobody mistaken them In fact several already beginning to group expectantly. "What am I supposed to done?” asked the victim, ' "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? "We had the tip that you crossing on the Sylvania.” "Splendid! You have one correct/’ ’ written all could possibly for anything loungers eye the were little have were fact “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 measures. 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 somewhere in the was the first time ’ly considered the could occasion, (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.” A Jetvel Thief’s Shadow I to have a double world, but this he had serious- complications it seating was not 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 oned With its, massive coat of arms. "Page one,” he> intoned. “Name of bearer Mr. Lionel Clipstone—” ) I the the the extreme wili- examine the “What name to resort to desperate heard that crooks had of code of honor.

From the way you acted I imagined nothing was too bdd.” The superintendent waggled his head. “As a matter of fact you out to be glad that we’re able to keep you out of mischief,” he mur­ mured. “Never can tell when vio­ lence is going to creep In,” “I’d dearly like the opportunity to indulge ih some at this instant. Emeralds, pearls, wives, dunder- headed bobbies.” “Norte of that,” “None of what?” “Threats. It’s a very serious of- fence." Jerry grunted. “I give up.” ®e pulled out a handkerchief to wipe ills forehead. “For goodness sake lock me up In a nice quiet coll where I can puzzle this thing out/* see! Ah, page alias Mrs Olitheroe?” get me Tony, Go I hung yet,” Jerry 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- bed With his boot. "Mr. Morrow is -a chartered ac­ countant, and stockbroker,” iously. The taciturn regarding Jerry intently. ’ "Odd,” said he. "Shouldn’t be surprised if you turned out not to be Tony Mon­ telli after all.” "You’-re talking out of the back you’re neck,” the Inspector 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.

Later he was taken before bench of magistrates Who listened patiently to what the police had to 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. ** “Hemahded for a week for fur- they induiries,” was the outcome of the rpoceedings.
