p. &. Campbell had done more than
grasp it, lie was really a rather
shrewd fellow. and he saw quite clear
ly that he was being offered q celeb
rity not often attained 10y an ordinary

district of Scotland. He saw. too, that
his every move was being indicated,
while any display of initiative on his
part would not be welcomed.
'Ay." he said, with grudGine ad
miration. "Ye've put the procedure
in a case like this vera straight an
proper. Mr.. Furneaux. Shall | bid
they men tae stan fast till we search
he corp?"
Yes. You take the lead in every
thing. It's your job. II you're in
doubt. and would like my advice. Ill
give it willingly"
Thus far, at any rate, F'urneauX had
succeeded in setting the policeman
feet on the right path. In later days
none knew better than Campbell him
self that he might have blundered
badly if that odd little man from the
criminal investigation department had
not been ever by his side. What he
did not nor ever will know is the eX-
traordinary restraint displayed by Fur
neaux. Never had the humorist OF
the Yard found better subject for
the play of his nimble wit, yet the
slightest suspicion of such a thing
would have converted his new frieH
and ally into a bitter and uncomvfo-
missing opponent. But he had taken
the measure of the man at a glance.
and regretted now even that initial
bit of sarcasm when he lashed out in
defense of John Panton. 1t could not
be helped, however.
