 The new Viking is particularly outstanding in performance. Its ninety-degree V-type eight-cyl~ finder engine delivers s1 horse~ power, with exceptional smooth ness throughout the entire speed rang>. Itsresponse to the throttle is remarkable, both in getaway from a standing start and in aceeleration at the higher speeds. Its top speed is greater than the average motorist will use.
 Aduanced Engine Design The natural eompactness of the Viking engine, combined with the added strength obtained through ribbing and trusting the erankcase, provides exceptional rigidity-an important contrib uting factor in smoothness, quiet ness, and long life. The short, rigid erankshaft is counter weighted for maximum balance

on| my part. was passing along the hall and I heard Mir. Ogder utter two words in angry tones He shouted them and they quite startled me. I heard nothing else sir.''
 What were those words, Hub bard?"
 "Gold bullets sir" I started SO violently that Hub- bard looked at me in surprise. It took me a moment to reassemble my scattered wits. Could it be pos sible that the Peterson revolver was in some way connected with Furie's s interview with Ogden? What strange concurrence of events! First, Hyde's refusal to tell me anything about the revolver; then. Andrews telephone call, Jer- rvs white-flanneled figure flying down the drive, Andrew stabbed to death at the telephone; and finally, this thing Hubbard had told me. were these events links Of a chain that ran back into the limbo of ogden's past: And Jerry? For a moment my faith in him was shaken
 Dreadful as my announcement to Lucy must be, would the truth com- pei ma to make it inconceivab bly more so? My agony of heart became uncomfortable.
 A heavy pounding sounded at the front door. Hubbard hurried into the hall. He reappeared with Henry Deacon, Dr. Oai ley. local surgeon, and Thompson, a sergeant of detec- tives.

A distinct advancement in efficient fuel distribution results from a new type of controlled manifolding based on the down. draft principle. After leaving the carburetor, the path of the vapor is always downward, assisted by gravity, an equal distance to each cylinder. The lubrieating and cooling systems are also remarkably efficient. Thermostatieally controlled radiator shutters are standard equipment.
 Important Chassis Features The Viking chassis shows re- markable strength and endur~ ance throughout its construc~ tion. The frame tapers to the front to permit a short turning radius and is double-dropped to provide a low center of gravity and great roadability. To assure deeeleration in keeping with its speed and getaway, the new Viking has oversize mechanical

 went back to Andrew. By rest ing my cheek on the desk l could see into his face without lifting hia head. I had known Andrew as . man endowed with a fine collection of the "civic virtues" I mean that he was conscientious and eminently l respectable. restrained and judicial and successful, a pillar of the church and a member of the chamber of commerce.
 But from time to time I had felt that this conventional being wasn't the real Andrew Ogden; that behind it lived and longed an audacious personality he had never revealed to me but which, somehow. I had sensed and loved.
 Hubbard came in just then. "I didn't see Stimson around. sir"
 Never mind. He'll turn up." I thought for a moment. Has Mir. Ogden had any visitors lately. Hub bard" Strangers, I mean"
 "Why. yes. sir. he has. A man and woman. And queer-looking pair they were. was going to speak to you about them.'' Queer looking" I exclaimed. Who were they? When did they come?"
 T don't know the woman's name. sir. She was here three or four days ago. She didn't come to the door. The master was in the grounds and he met her coming up the drive. They talked for a minute or two. then he brought her in here. She must have stayed an hour. She was one of those tall, angular, elder ly females that seem to be all sinew and bone and tight-sl,ut mouth"
 How was she dressed?"
 ''That was the queer part of her. She had on a black hat. long black coat. and a long black dress. ] couldn't help noticing the get-up Of her, sir. Not bit of color to her. sir. Even her eyes were black. Black as coal"
 "She sounds like crank of some sort. Hubbard What about the other person?"
 Well. sir, he was just as queer. in his way. He came this after noon. The look of him gave me . turn when I opened the door Ial- most shut it in his face. He was little crab-apple of a chap, in overalls and torn coat, and all stopped and puckered. Eighty, if he was a day, shock of hair as white as a clean napkin all over his head and neck, a stubble Of wfisker, a leathery skin like an old brown shoe, China blue eyes all red around the rims. and an eight sided glass stuck in his eye-thats him, sir"
 "An eight-sided glass;" I echoed. "You mean lens of some sort?" "Yes, sir. And it was on one end

Deacon laughs at me, of course.
 For this reason I dreaded his ap- pearance.
 The serious implications of the evidence had not escaped my mind for an instant had seen Jerry flying down the drive a minute or so after his father had been stabbed to death. I had called and instead of answering me he had gone faster. That was fact.

He must dig up his own evidence. Perhaps it wasn't Jerry I had seen after all. No. this wouldn't do.

Besides. an eye for detail has become second nature with nH. l then tried to comfort my self with the thought that Jerry would reurn and explain his pre- cipitous flight.

 "'Tm lookin' for Andry Ogden. he shouted in q cackling voice. T felt sure the master wouldn't want such looking fellow in his house. SO Said Mir. Ogden was out. and I started to shut the door. "'No, he ain't.' the old man shrilled at me. And before I could prevent him he hopped into the hall, shook his fist in my face. and screamed:
 "' Tell yer boss ol' Furie is here"
 Luckily, Mir. ogden looked into the hall just then and asked him what he wanted.
 "A word with ye in private the old man cackled.
 And do you know, sir, after thinking a moment. Mir. Ogden brought him in here and shut the door! l was stunned. MT. Ogden has always been so particular about suspicious-looking characters"
 Did Mir. Ogden seem surprised at seeing the man?" I asked.
 He did. sir. Dumbfounded, I might say. At first I thought he hadn't caught what Furie said, MT. Ogden being trifle deaf in his left ear. as you know sir; and then I heard him muttering the mans name over and over. 'Furie, Furie, Furie.' Just like that"
 And you never saw this man be- fore. Hubbard?"
 Never. sir"
 What time did he go?"
 About six, I believe. Mir. Ogden then called in Mr. Jerry and in- structed me not to have them dis turbed."
 When did you last see MT. Jer- ry?" I asked casually.
 When MT. Ogden called me in, sir. At six"
 How was he dressed?" I went on, in the same tone.
 'In his flannels, sir"

 "Hubbard." l resumed quietly. "did you chance to overhear any of the conversation between Furie and Mr. Ogden?''

"Is there anything wrong. sir!" Yes" I sad. Your master"
 His eyes went over my shoulder then he fell back with a cry. Good God. sir! He's not-he's not dead?'
 "Who did it. sir? When did it. happen?"
 Within the past five minutes. don't know who did it. Where is Mir. Jerry?" He was here with Mr. Ogden all evening. I passed the door abou, half an hour ago and they were still talking. MT. Ogden said they weren't to be disturbed"
 Sure it was half an hour?"
 Perhaps S5 minutes, sir. The hall clock had struck nine shortly be- | fore"
 Where were you during the past half hour?'

 I stepped into the hall and glanced at the clock. Its dial show ed nine thirty-eight. My own watch was just 20 seconds behind it. Andrew had telephoned me at nine-thirty. At that moment Stim- son left the Hubbards and a few seconds later. Andrew was killed. Assuming that Hubbard was telling the truth. Stimson could not have got to the library window. entered the room and killed Ogden in the brief space of time at his disposal. Nor could the Hubbards. The li-

 You'd better take your wife up to her room, Hubbard" I said. ''The police will want to talk to both of you. See if you can find Stimson, then come back here"
