patrol was rowing under the Embark
ment wall when the fog was a little
thinner than it is now, and they saw
the man lifted up to the parapet and
pushed over. The sergeant in charge
blew his whistle, but none of our men
was near. and the chap. whoever he
was who did the throwing, got away
they're dragging for the body now. Just
this side of the Needle. The inspector
asked me to tell you this If you came
in"
Dick Shannon did not hesitate. The
lure of his comfortable quarters and
the CHEEKY fire was a lure no longer.
He CROPPED his way across the broad
Embankment, and, with the long
parapet to guide him, went quickly
along the riverside. The fog was black
now and the mournful boot of the
river tugs had ceased as their baffied
captains gave up the struggle.
Near the obelisk that records the past
glories of Egypt he found little knot
of men standing, and, recognizing him
at close quarters, the uniformed inspec-
tor advanced pace to meet him.
"It is murder case. The Thames
police have just recovered the body"
Drowned"

death before he was thrown into the
water. If you'll come down to the steps
you'll see him"
What time did this happen?"
AT 9 o'clock tonight-or rather, last
night 1t is nearly 2 now"
Shannon descended the shallow steps
which led to the water on either side
of the obelisk. The bow of rowboat
came out of the fog and swung round
in the stern was visible in the light of
the pocket lamps.

sergeant of the patrol There's MOTH

easy to identify-there'S an old knife
wound across his chin"
"Humph!" said Dick Shannon, look
ing. We'll make another search
later"
He went back to headquarters with
the inspector and the entrance hall,
which he had left silent and deserted,
was now busting with life. For In his
absence news had come through which
set Scotland Yard humming and
brought from their beds every reserve
detective within the metropolitan area.
The Queen of Finland's car had been
held up in the darkest part of the Mall.
the detective had been shot down and
her majestys diamond chain had passed
into the fog. Nor was it to be found
again until a certain girl, at that mo-
ment dreaming uneasily about chick
ems, came to the glare and sorrow of
the great city to visit the sister who
hated her.
