He called up the Meriden chief of police, but that dig nitary knew nothing of a stolen car The Merden chief located Massetti but the latter was certain his machine was resting comfortably in the garage. In order to satisfy the persistent in Quiries of the chief, Massetti, 'phoned his garage and was surprised to find that nothing had been seen of the ma- chine since last Tuesday, when it was said his partner had taken it from the garage.

After using considerable boiling water the pipes were thawed out and he took the auto back to thte Silver Ciy, vowing he would call the garage every day and know where his part of the ma chine is.
