IF you ask me-" he replied, Il
should like to know what wasn't diff
cult connected with the telephone sys-
tenn in this country a. Why, you don't
have system. and that's all there II
to 1t. But it's not at that end they'll
put the salt on their man."
(Which end will it be, then"
THE river end. That hat, or cap.
Do you see what the gardener says
about the man who ran out bare
headed? If he went and left his hat or
his cap behind him, that should be
good enough in the long run. It's the
very worst thing you can leave. Ever
hear of Franz Muller?"
Cazalet had not heard OF that i'm
portant notoriety, nor did his ignor-
ance appear to trouble him at all, but
II was becoming more and more clear
that Toye took an almost unhealthy
interest In the theory and practise OF
violent crime.
Franz Muller" he continued, left
his hat behind him, only that and
nothing more. but 1t brought him to
the gallows even though he got over
to the other side first. He made the
mistake of taking a slow steamer, and
that's just about the one mistake they
never did make at Scotland Yard. Give
them nice, long, plain-sailing stern
chase and they get there by bedtime
wireless or no wirelessl"
But Cazalet was in no mind to dis
cuss other crimes, old or new; and he
closed the depression by asserting
somewhat roundly that neither hat
nor cap had been left behind In the
only case that interested him.
Don't be too sure" said Toyc.
Even Scotland Yard doesn't show all
it's hand at once, in the first inquiry
that comes along. They don't give
out any description of the man that
ran away but you bet it's being cir
culated around every police office In
the United Kingdom"
Cazalet said they would give 1t out
fast enough II they had it to give. BY
the way, he was surprised to see that
the head gardener was the same who
had been at Uplands in his fathers
time; he must be getting an old man
and no doubt shaker on points OF de
tail than he would be likely to admit
Cazalet instanced the alleged hearing
OF the gong as in itself an unconvinc
ing statement. 1t was well over {
hundred yards from the gates to th'
house, and there we're no windows t
open in the hall where the gong wouls
be rung.
