"Maybe they'll believe me now." Nothing old fashioned about Fred's breakfast, though. Kellogg's Corn Flakes is his favourite. "Taste mighty good," he says. "The Mrs. likes 'em too. Says they only take 30 seconds to get •ready, and no pots and pans to wash." Yom'il like Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Get some tomorrow. Two convenient sizes.

"You can be pretty sure of that," chuckled the Commissioner con- fidently. "I'll bet twenty to one lie's not letting the grass grow ander his feet wherever he bap - pens to be." "I shouldn't wonder," the Divis- ional Inspector agreed sarcastical- ly. "I expect he's beating up the local iron -mongers after some screw or other. He's. got that ',crew on the brain, sir." "Well, smaller things than a. screw have frequently put a mur- derer in the dock, Inspector," Sir JJallard commented. "I need hard- ly remind yon it's often the details that matter." "Undoubtedly, sir," was the grudging reply. "And I'm forced to admit, an examination of the t;crew hole In the door more or Iess point- ed to what he said being correct. But 'what does it prove?" 'Merely that the murderer wasn't this mythical beast or In- tubus, or whatever the thing's sup- posed to be," the Commissioner replied, It proves Scutt's murder was carefully planned beforehand and that the murderer entered by the door, and not by the window, as suggested." "Well, let's take a look at the scene of this evening's appearance fitson Lane," suggested Sir Hal- Iard. "I believe it's quite near here." They had not walked a hundred yards, however, before they sud- denly ran into Hopton, who un- expectedly appeared out of the shadows. "Hullo, Inspector," said Sir HaI- lard as his subordinate came up. "I thought it wouldn't be long be- fore we came across you. I don't suppose you expected to find me down here, did you?" "As a matter of fact I heard you were taking a look round, sir," ISSUE No: 26--43 U answered the Detective. "I hurried hack here as soon as I received Inspector Carlingford's report of tbis fresh. development. I question- ed the woman who saw this ap- parition but couldn't get much out of her except that the creature looked like a huge ape—but she's an hysterical type. Since then I've been keeping an eye on St. Luke's Church. "Um, d'you think this thing's after the offertory box?" chuckled the Commissioner. "No, . sir, not exactly," smiled Hopton, passing the joke over lightly. "I feel certain something'll happen in that quarter before • long." "Inspector Hopton is certain all this business has something to do with the Rev. Galesbourne, sir," commented Carlingford , facetious- ly. "It's quite useless to tell him tbat the , gentleman's been vicar of St. Luke's for years, doing ex- cellent work and without a stain against his character; Ise's not going to be convinced!" "So I understand," smiled the • Chief. "But I have every faith in Inspector Heptons judgment. Suppose we go along and have a look at St. Luke's first, as it's so handy." "It's only just round the corn- er," directed Carlingford as they crossed the road and, turning to the left in front of a public -house, come in sight of the church in question. "Pretty grim -looking Bole, isn't it?" commented the Comviission- er, as he noted the confused'mass of buildings. "Every conceivable style o1 architecture seems to have be -en jumbled up in the church, and the vicerage looks like a badly -designed barracks. I should think the man who has to live in sueh a hole for years might be driven to any excess!" "Ola, it's quite comfortable in- side, sir," said Carlingford. "Indeed it is that," simplified Sergeant O'Mara. "Mr. Gales- hourne's got it fitted up with all his brass work—" "Brass work?" interjected Hop- ton sharply. "Yes, sorr, Tndia.n brasses—trays and gods and such ornaments which he told me he bought in the East." "I see," nodded the Detective. * "Nevertheless, I don't think I'd like to live there," remarked Sir Hillard, as he gazed up at the gloomy windows, only one of which was lighted. They stood looking at the buildings and the Commis- sioner was going to Move away when the vieara.ge door opened and they saw Galesbourne silhouet- ted against the light as he carne into the hall with a poor -looking man in a cap and raincoat. He stood waving as his visitor ran down the steps, and disappeared into the shadows, for the street was poorly lighted. at this point. The watchers sa'w. the Vicar close his door again, and Sir Hal - lard had just intimated that he • wished to explore the back df the building, .when a series of distant screams made theta stop abruptly. The urgent outcries were followed by a silence, and then another tee melt of oba'ieks. rent .the, xiight alrp`, tar. ,dearer this time, "Sounds like more trouble;e" cried Hopton. "Comte oni" and ho began to sprint in the direction of the alarm. As he turned the corneal, he saw a little )snot of ehattering pedple gathered round a lamp anal • made towards theist, with the others close at his heels,' Pushing his way through the crowd, the- detective fomad a young girl, of not more than 18, dressed in a cheap evening frock covered with a tweed coat. She was sitting 0:1 the kerb in an hysterical state, while two women were attempt- ing to calm her, "What's up?" asked the Detec- tive sternly. "I'm a. police officer; anything wrong?" * *, * Realizing she was safe, the girl controlled her sobs and looked up at the newcomer with wild, terri- fied eyes. "Oh, there's a man in Dexter Mews—dead, I think!" she blub- bered in a half.dazed. way. "I was off to a, dance and nearly fell over him." The information was quite en- ough for Hopton. "Stay with her, sergeant!" he cried to O'Mara, "I'll get a state- ment 1 a t e, r. Where's Dexter Mews?" 'aThis way," panted Carlingford from the rear. "Come on!" Accompanied by the Chief Com- missioner, the two inen darted over the road and under a wide arch leading to a row of stables; and coach houses. Two feeble gas - lamps were fixed to the walls and by their light the officers saw the body of a. man lying face down- - ward in the middle of the road and recognized the long blue Coat of a policeman. "It's Hollander!" cried Carling- ford, as he and his companions turned the injured than over. "Is he dead?" inquired Sir Hal lard anxiously. "No, sir, still t+.reatbing, thank God," announced Hopton. "Go and ring the ambulance, quick, Car- lingford. It's touch-and-go!" The divisional inspector had turned to obey the order when" be suddenly stopped. "Look there!" he yealed, grasp- ing Sir Hailar5d's arm and pointing upwards. "See that?" * * * The end of the mews was closed by a high wall, behind which glow- ed a dim light that made it stand up sharply against the curtain of fog. T h e Met Commissioner swung round at Carlingford's warning, and was just in time to see a black, shapeless something scramble on to the top of the wall, run along it with the agility of a monkey, and disappear into a bank of shadow. In a second, Sir Hal lard had snatched the revolver from his pocket, grabbed Carling ford's torch,' and was sprinting for the wall like a madman. The Commissioner ran down the mews until he came to the foot of the wall along the top of which the figure hail. disapaeared. He found that it was built of rough stonework. Sir Halley] was an excellent climber, and slipping the revolver into his pocket, began to scramble up its surface. Twice he fell back, grazing bis knee painfully, hut the third effort was more sut'ce•ss- ful; he managed to grip the:,cop- ing, pulled. himself to the lop. sat astride and gazed down on the other side. As he was examining the side of the wall, a light sud- denly shone from above him and he was bailed by a whisper from Hopton. (Continued Next Week) Camouflage Paint Fools Foe's Camera Camouflage paint that will fool enemy cameras le now being pro- duced by the Du Pont Company. While ordinary camouflage will fool the naked eye of a pilot, this new dark green paint applied to material that is to act as a dis- guising subject will show up on a camera plate as a light rather than a dark value. Hence, it re- flects the infra -red rays which., including the ultraviolet rays, composes three-fifths of sunlight. Ordinary green paints, which ab- sorb sunlight, show up as dark values on camera plates disclosing to photographic experts that their use is in camouflage purposes rather than genuine vegetation or foliage.. Camouflage, of course, discloses to the enemy the location of vari- ous installations. He may not be able to detect it himself but his cameras can. Hence, military tar- gets blended into the landscape by the use of orthodox green paint may not escape lens disclosure, Use of the new paint, however, ,now puts American camnufleurs one ,jump ahead.
