CHAPTER VIII
°"H•ullo is that you, sir?" a.sked
tiie detective, crawling forward.
"Yes," answered the Commis-
sioner in the same low tone, "The
scent's cold here, I'm afraid. Not
a sign of anything!"
"It's an allotment, eh?" he com-
mented as he threw the beam froth
Itis lamp on the ground. ".Maybe
he jumped down on the other side,
sir. It's a sweet factory, I be-
lieve. Hello! This to interesting!"
Hopton had been. walking round
while speaking, and his light had
picked up a cabbage that had been
recently crushed down and brok-
eu,
"Did you do this, sir?" he in-
quired eagerly.
"No, T landed at the foot of the
wall on a pile of earth," the Com-
missioner replied. "It looks as if
it had only just been broken."
"We're on the right track, then,"
announced the Detective confident-
ly. "Our man jumped for it and
same down on this. He badn't
the advantage of a light"
• • *
"Then, if he jumped from that
height, why the blazes hasn't he
lett any footmarks?" questioned
Sir Mallard in a mystified tone.
"Always presuming the thing Is a
nie'?"
"I only got a fleeting glimpse
of it as it disappeared," said Hop-
ton, still busily examining the turf.
"It just ran along the top of that
wall, Inspector," the Chief assured
him. "You've tried crawling along
that surface, and know as well as
) do Ws a tricky climb for an
active man, and yea this thing
shipped along it like a two-year-
old.
"Sounds as if you thought it
migbt be a monkey?", said the
Inspector.
"Possibly some large specimen
of ape," replied the Commissioner_
"The action strongly suggested
it."
"But the footmark? Those long
talons . ?"
"A trick, my dear man, pure
and simple. A kind of shoe fixed
on to the animal's foot to set ns
on the 'wrong track."

Five minutes later they were
back in the mews. They found
Carlingford and O'Mara carefully
patrolling the road.
"Did you ever see anything like
the way it scuttled along the top
of that wall, sir?" asked Carling-
ford in an awed voice. . . "Talk
about speed , .."
"Yes," the Commissioner broke
in sharply. "I'm glad you saw it
too, Inspector. It seemed hardly
possible,"
,"It Iooked to me, more like some
animal," commented Carlingford
dubiously. "Anyway, one thing's
quite certain, Inspector Hopton;
your theory that Mr. Galesbourne's
the guilty party is wrong. We all
saw him distinctly, standing in
the hall of the Vicerage at the
very moment the crime • was ac-
tually taking place here."
"That's your opinion," retorted
Hopton coldly. "It's quite possible
you're right, but time will shote."
"I don't think it'll show any-
thing
nything much more clearly than
what we saw just now," sneered
Carlingford. "I've never come
across a more perfect alibi."
"Exactly," nodded the Scotland
Yard man sarcastically.
* * •
The Divisional Inspector would
no doubt have proceeded to ex-
ploit his success a good deal fur-
ther if Sergeant O'Mara . had not
pulled discreetly at his sleeve.
"Excuse me, Sorr," he said in
a low tone, "But here's Father
Galesbourne coating."
Carlingford turned at the warn-
ing and saw the Vicar, dressed
in a long, caped cassock and bi-
retta, pushing his way through the
throng.
"I hear there's been some more
trouble, Inspector," be said grave-
ly as he joined them, "and hur-
ried across from the Vicarage to
see if I could be of any assistance.
Nothing serious, I hope?"
"Another of these extraordinary
crimes, sir," replied Carlingford
in a deferential manner. "An of-
ficer found half strangled."
"I'm very sorry—very sorry in-
deed. I came to say that I've
arranged for hot coffee to be serv-
ed at the Vicarage for your men.
Sir Hillard, 'in case any of them
have time for refreshment, It's so
bitterly cold to be out at night."
"That's very kind of you, sir,"
answered the Commissioner.
"Yes, . well, good -night to
you," said the • Vicar nodding
again. "I hope you'lI be elate to
rid the district of this terror; good-
night!"
* *
A chorus of good -nights answer-
ed him; but as he walked away
he was apparently struck by an
,idea and came back.
"Oh, pardon my curiosity," he
began, in a self deprecatory man-
ner. "But there's a rumour that
some of your officers actually saw
the criminal. Is it true?"
"Quite true, Vicar," said the
Commissioner. "And I'm hoping
they'll have an even better view
of him in the dock of the Old
Bailey before long."
"Ab, very good, my dear sir,"
replied Galesbourne, with a high-
pitched chuckle. "I'm glad you
have the spirit .to Joke about any-
thing so terrifying, Don't forget
the hot coffee if any of you want
it. Good -night, Sir Hallard; and
nodding pleasantly to the Com-
missioner, he disappeared under
the arch.
"Well, sir, what d'you make of
him?" inquired lHt pton, as soon ;as
he was out of earshot,'
"PM not particularly impress,
ed," returned. Sir 1%allard, "but X
doll't tlijn3i ba sees a very likely
Qriminal, nspectOr; too Much of
an iso, X should say."
"Maybe," said the detective
doubtfully, "He strikes mo person-
ally as being a very excellent ac-•
tor. 1 think Itll avail myself of the
oban.ce'of getting a peep inside the
Vicarage a little later; it might be
useful," .
"Um, not half a bad notion,"
agreed the . Commissioner.
"I want to have a chat with this
old servant of his. , . Smith, ..
isn't his name? Hopton went
on.
"That's correct, Inspector," ans.
were(' Carlingford, "Mn. Smith's a
well-known figure round here,`Ife's
about sixty-five, and Very deal,"
"1 hope you'll get something in-
teresting out of the'old boy," sinil.-
ecl Sir Hallard. "3'm going back
to the Yard now, inspector, and
I'd be glad to hear tate latest de-
velopments by 'phone if anything
turns up."
"Good -night, sir," answered Hop-
ton, as the Divisional Inspector
opened the door of the chief's car
which was waiting for him.
Siz' Hallaxd jumped in, and the
big car disappeared. up the street,
"Now listen, Sergeant," said
Hopton, "I , want to have a chat
with this man Smith; get me?"
"I do that, sorr," agreed tbe
Irielunan.. "That shouldn't be dif-
ficult, providin' you can shout loud'
enough. Mr. Smith's 'very deaf."
"Five minutes Would do," the
other assured him, "but I don't
want tbe Vicar to .overbear our
conversation. I want five minutes'
ebat alone with the old boy,"
"Foive minutes," repeated 0'.
Mara. "Then I'll tell you what I'll
. do; I'll go to a public 'phone box
and put through a call to the Vic-
arage askin' the Father to come
down here a moment as I'd loike
to bane a word with him. You hang
about in the shadows 'outside his
house and get in as soon as you
see him leave. How's that?"
"Admirable; provided you can
invent some reason for bringing
him down here at this time," said
Hopton approvingly. "I don't want
him to think it's a trick, Once a
man like that's on his guard it'd
be the very devil to catch him a
second time."
"It's now exactly half past elev-
en, and 1'31 ring the Vicarage at
11-40, If that'll suit you?" said the
Sea'geant.
"That'll do splendidly," the De-
tective assured him.
Hopton made his way to the
Vicarage and carefully chooe a
position where he was partially
concealed by the high iron rails
of the church and waited impa-
tiently for the fun 'to begin.

ized transport.produced by the
automotive industry of Canada
since the outbreak of war was
dtriven off the assembly line of
the General Motors of Canada
plant in Oshawa last week by
Munitions Minister Howe.
The unit, a battery -charging
truck, evidenced the incredible
changes that had been worked in
the most highly competitive in-
destry in the world. There were
parts in that truck made by Ford,
Chrysler and General Motors,
Workmen, officials of the in-
dustry, Government representa-
tives and a number of invited

STORY BOOK BIRD
115 TALKS, Joan, just like birds in story
books. Joan's mother promised her two
goldfish if she got to school every day
on time. "But that's easy!" says Joan.
"Mummy always has my breakfast
early because we have Kellogg's Corn
Flakes at our house. She givea'emto me
after school, too. X love Kellogg's!" Yes,
Kellogg's are ideal for odd -hour snacks
ready in 30 seconds, leave no pots
and pans to wash, easy to digest and
economical. Get some tomorrow.

assembly lines, reached the end
of the line.

tery room with facilities for
charging 50 12 -volt or 100 six-
volt batteries simultaneously. The
truck bears the triple name plate
of the companies that heI.ped in
its making.
Matched "Units"
Vary Wardrobe
Jumpers, Blouses, Skirts,
Jackets Ail Interchangeable
Matched separate units of the
wardrobe are an old story, but one
that is ever new, thanks to the
practically endless ways in which
they can be' achieved. There is
the jumper, for instance, as a
change from the jacket with
sleeves. The juniper, according to
reports from all over the country,
is gaining in favor. It is worn over
a blouse, much as one wears a
sleeveless sweater, and is either
separate or matched to some oth-
er part of the costume.
Then there are blouses and
shirts, never better and bigger
than now. Stripes, florets, checks
and plain with, of course, dots of
various sizes. There are novelties
too numerous to mention.
Everyone agrees it is a banner
season for cotton separates and
most agree that this fad is not con-
fined to cottons.
Here are a few notes made from
observation of what women are
wearing about town:
Bows, jabots, ruchings, ruffles
and short frills are consoieuous.
White, preferably sheer white,
with frothy bits of lace at the neck-
line, ruffles of self fabric, short
frills and jabots, are prominent ,
in keeping with the popularity of
white hats,
