TWENTIETH INsTALLMENT.

r. ORTUNATELY, my evening meal
- was equal to the demands made
upon it by the arrival of In
4 Spector Bloor.
It got your note, Ma or,' he
said so you found spot OF trouble
last night?"
1 told him everything.
Clever" he conceded. And SuggeS-
tive. too. All goes to prove your theory
that Josephs turned West Ender.
They don't want you in these parts
evidently. and they took the cleverest
means of stopping 1t. You're banned
from the Blue Skies now. and from all
the afiliated night clubs where we
fancy that Joseph sometimes meets MS
friends. I suppose the cards OF inVi-
tation will step, too. l see the point
What 1 don't quite get is why he's
taken this risk for Miss EsSiter. Had
he ever seen her?"

II imagine it's a counterstroke to Mar

were fighting for Rachel. Donkin was
Martin Hews' man. and when he got
into trouble Martin Hews helped him
to escape and shut up the girl at
Breezeley."
wen get the young lady back"
Bloor promised cheerfully. Sometimes
l fancy, major, that there's q sort OF
rude chivalry about Joseph. l don
think he'd dare to do anything brutal,
even though she is Martin Hews' niece.
don't suppose you've had any news OF
her during the day?"
Nothing except this" I replied,
handing him Joseph's communication.
He read 1t carefully.
What a Nerve!" he muttered. you
showed this to her uncle? What was

"He passed it on to Rachel, and let
her loose"
Bloor was a big man. and a man
with big nerve. Nevertheless, / saw
him SILVER.
IT'S damnable!' he muttered. 1.-The
girl knows where to go TO, all right,
but"
There was a pause. Neither of us
cared to utter our thoughts.
Did he have her followed?"~ Bloor
inquired.
Il don't think so. He was too clever.
The girl would have been up to every
trick of that sort"
MY visitor pulled out his pipe.
IF one could only know where she
went" he muttered.

I made some remark about 1t as l re-
filled his cup. He nodded.
you're IN trouble, major, ne &C
knowledged, but so are we. ]. suppose
you don't bother much about the
papers these days?"

came out of Joseph's section. One of
my men saw. them go, but we're trying
to keep things quiet down there, so
he didn't interfere. He only obeyed
orders. The idea was that they'd come
back again If they were out on job.
Well. they didn't come back. and I

And the goth word was Bluei
After that we went at 1t breathlessly.
Eighteen was the Book Of Job, and
the 18th verse of the 37th chapter was:
Hast thou with him spread out the
sky. which is strong, and as molten
looking glass;"
And the eighth word was Sky.
The first book was Genesis, and the
10Th verse Of the first chapter ran as
follows:
And the evening and morning were
the fourth day"
Blue sky Thursday" Bloor exclaim-
ed.
An hour or so later, we were at the
entrance to the Blue Skies Club. Bloor
looked around. Across the street man
was selling matches; another had a
bundle of papers under his arm. A taxi
driver was seated upon the font seat
OF his vehicle, smoking and reading.
A chauffeur, in small two-Seated car,
was facing him on the other side
Of the entrance. There was plenty of
space between them for any one
to taEe Up or set down passen-
ger at the club. but their places
were so arranged that aey one
passing In or out would be within t.ieir
reach. Bloor beckoned to the newspaper
man, who touched his hat and hurried
across. We selected newspapers, and
all the time Bloor talked.
"You understand, Richards" he said,
'it isn't the people who are coming
it is the people who come out"
No reply, only a little nod. The
young man was laboriously counting
out change.
ANY one who looks to be messenger
from the club, whoever he is, is to be
detained" Bloor went on. You have
plenty of men to fall back on. There
are six policemen at the next corner,
and six at the oxford street end.
Apple is the word. You understand?
We want a man who Is expected here
tonight, and we want to stop any mes
sage being sent out to warn him
against coming. We will see to the
telephone ourselves"
The young man ambled of. He
stopped to beg flag from the taxi
driver and a light from the chauffeur
and, during those few moments, he
passed on to both the message he had
received. According to our arrange
ment. / presented myself alone at the
swing doors of the club. A commission
aire blocked my further progress.
Il beg your pardon, SIR" he said
gruf1ly, but are you member Of the
club?"
Il am not" I acknowledged. but
wish to have a word with the
secretary"
His hand fell heavily upon my
shoulder. He was a Goliath, but
affected to hesitate.
Il have friend outside" I confded
We'll. out you go to him." was the
brusque reply. You're not wanted in
here. Managers orders"

The swing door revolved once more,
and Bloor stood by my side.
Whats the trouble?" he inquired.
This fellow won't let me In"
mot you nor your friend neither"
the man declared. "Out you go, both
of you. don't want your card" he
went on, as Bloor produced one. "If
you're not out Of here in ten seconds
Bloor slipped back his coat.
IF you don't wish for my card" he
said, "let me tell you who l am / am
Inspector Bloor Of Scotland Yard. This
gentleman is with me. Go and tell
your secretary that we wish to see
him"
The man turned reluctantly away.
A few yards from us, he paused. and
seemed about to enter the dancing
room Bloor moved across to him
swiftly.
Straight to the secretary's room"
he ordered. If you want 70 keep cut
of trouble, my man you won't rifle
with the law"
After that. there was no further de-
lay. The door of the Office through
which had passed was opened, and
middle-aged man came hurriedly out.
Whats the trouble, Inspector" he
asked.
"Eone, hope" BIoor answered. ct
wish to make few Investigations here.
We should like to go straight to your
Office"
The secretary turned toward me.
Delighted to assist you in any way,
inspector" he said but this gentle
man has been struck of the rolls Of the
club"
He was never a member" was my
companions curt reply. AT present
he Is accompanying me. If you are
wise. you will make no further

The secretary stood his ground.
You know that he was fined 20

quite enough Of that. Show us the

The secretary led us there, mumbling
to himself.

Finally, he seated himself at the seere-

Suddenly the room was plunged into
darkness. All that could see was the
glow from the end Of Bloor's cigar. Then

that he had risen to his feet.

Onion feels that unless some such plan

embarrassed by passing farm legisla-

FINLAYSON SCHOOL NOTES
Editor-Grace Dignan

Eighteen have selected readings for
the declamatory contest. The contest
is divided into three parts, namely
the oratOrical, the dramatic, and
the humorous. Five have entered the
oratorical, five the dramatic, and
eight the humorous. Many have won
dered why we have gone into the de-
clamatOry contest, instead of the de-
bate. There are many reasons why
such steps have been taken. First,
more pupils are eligible to join be-
cause 1t is easier. 1t requires no abil-
ity to think on your feet as it does in
debates. More time can be given to-
ward practicing your reading than in
the debate. Much time is spent in
research and organization of a debate
and little time is given toward men,
orizing it. Second: 1t is a change
both for the school and the town. A
change is always pleasant and the
work becomes more interesting.
Many new library books are now
in circulation. There are twenty
Juvenile and fourteen adult fiction
books and ten Juvenile and fourteen
adult reference books. In addition to
these new books, thirty-one books
have come back from. the bindery,
looking just like new. Pupils should
handle both the new and the repair
ed books very carefully.
The Finlayson basketball team
journeyed to Willow Friday evening,

weather, the team seemed rather stiff,
and not as alert as usual. Willow
River was the victor, however, as
they took advantage of the free
throws, which the Finlayson boys
forfeited them. The game ended with
a score of 81 to 10. Although the
team was defeated, it must be said
that they have shown great i'm
prOvement, both in teamwork and bas-
ket shooting. The local boys took
their defeat remarkably we'll, and are
patiently waiting for the chance to

halt on certain business practices
which might eventually work hard
ship on the consuming public. Trust
busting as a Congressional activity
has never been as vigorous as in the
days of Roosevelt. Much of the in
vestigative work that Congress for
merly took i'm it's own hands has been
turned over to the Department of
Justice and the Federal Trade Com
mission under the antitrust law.
These inquiries by Federal agencies
usually require from two to three
years for report.
The disposition nowadays is to
speed up Investigations by authorizing
Congressional committees to conduct
public hearings. A resolution calling
for an investigation of the newsprint
monopoly provides for a select COM
mittee of five Senators to study and
report on the newsprint situation.
Another resolution has been presented
to the Senate and House demanding
that the Department of Justice ex-
pedite its court proceedings against
the so-called radio trust. The Fed
eral Trade Commission already has an
active investigation into public util-
tiles and will shortly submit it's find
ings on open price trade associations
and on interlocking directories in
General Motors, United States Steel
Corporation and the Dupont compa-
MES.
