 Detective Inspector RoakA was ohscssed with the idea that the fu- gitive would feel safer in the last place where he would be likely to ho looked for, and what more i'm probable place was there than one of his own homes.

 Before entraining for the scene Of his lahors he obtained a search war rant which would give him author itv to demand admission to the Grange and overhaul it from cellar to roof.
 On arriving at Chevcrel he went 10 the village inn and booked rooms for himself and a bright young plain clothes constable whom he had brought with him as an assistant.
 'Have you any other guests in the inn':" he inquired at the end of | his personal arrangements. | "Oniv one, sir, 2 very nice cler- [ gyman. name of Danvers." was the rer'v. "Woons himself to himself, Won't interfere with you at all"
 ."Ho'd better not" snapped Roake. "Whats he here for7"
 "T rather think he's after a job ns cr1ratA to our rector" said the innknonor '1 shouldn't he sur- nri@od if it was love affair Any how. tho roctor's daughter is inter ostod in him"
