Cazalet.

Il don't follow you. Toye"
I'm thinking Of fnger-prints. N
he'd justve laid those things right
down. he'd have left the print of his
hand AZ large as life for Scotland
Yard"
The devil he would" exclaimed
Casalet. Il wish you'd explain" he
added; remember I'm . wild man
from the woods, and only know Of
these things by the vasuest kind Of
Aearsay and stray paragraphs in the
papers | never knew you could leave
your mark 80 easily as all that"
Toye took the breakfast menu and
placed it face downward on the table

down" he said, and don't move It
for q minute"
Cazalet looked at him q moment
before complying; then his fine shape
ly. sunburnt hand lay still as plaster
under their eyes until Toye told him
he might take It up. OF course there
was no mark whatever, and Cazalet
laughed
You should have caught me when
l came up from those foundations,
not fresh from my tub" said he
You wait" replied Hilton Toye,
taking the menu gIngerly by the edge,
and putting 1t out of harms way in
the empty toast rack. you can't see
anything now, but If you come round
to the Savoy III show you something"
What"
'Your prints, sir | don't say I'm
Scotland Yard at the game, but can
do 1t well enough to show you how
It's done. You haven't left your mark
upon the paper but | guess you've left
the sweat of your hand; IL | snow a
little French chalk ever 1t. the chalku
stick where your hand did. and blow
on easily everywhere else. eay, come
round to lunch and I'll have your
prints ready for you. I'D like aw-
fully to show you how it's done

criminal practice. Cazalet was always
apt to be elaborate in the first person
singular. either in the past or in the
future tense; but he was more so
than usual in explaining his c0nsid-
cred intentions in this o. -1r that
lay so very near his heart
Going TO see Scruton. too" said
Toye.
Not necessarily was the short re-

Cazalet on a moments consideration.
The fact was that he wanted FIRST to

Intervention Of a really influential law
