SYNOPSIS: The search for motives in the murder of Anna belle Querdling taxes the abil- ity Of Jimmie Haswell, assisting police Superintendent Rich mend. They are told that Mar tcTic Blake and Dr. Netherton had heard the cid woman, her aunt, threaten to disinhaTit her should she wed. Shortly after, Marjorie returns to the Dutch garden and finds her aunt killed by stone image, pushed over Cn her. This is confirmed by Marjcrie's sister, Evelyn, who says she and her fiance, Lionel Duckworth, were singing in the hcusc at the time. Among Oth- CTS suspected are Green, the chauffeur, Joe Allen, discharg- cd gardener, and Major Gre sham, who explains that he was near the house about to call on the spinster. Netherton's story of his intervie with Miss Querdling is evasive, and, though he denies love for the girl, his secret phone call to her arcuces suspicious. Aliens disappearance convinces the vil- lagcrs of his guilt.

Chapter II A ONE-ARMED MYSTERY

Jimmie Haswell, with Donald and Nancy arrived early for the regu- lar services next morning in the crowded little village church. Lock ing around him, he was not sur prised at the absence of Evelyn and Marjorie, usually present on Sun day, but today shrinking from the gaze of the curious. The house. hold was represented by Ben Acres and his wife and Major Gresham was one of the ushers.
 Mrs. Netherton was there alone, and Jimmie caught a glimpse of Audrey coming in with her mother,

Bills disappointment, for instance
 "Is Bill Netherton particularly friendly with Marjorie Blake?"
 With Marjorie?" There was ob- vious Surprise in her tone. T do not think so. Why do you ask?''
 T only wondered he evaded.
 The subject was dropped as they watched a one-armed golfer take an iron and with his left hand send the ball down the fairway.
 Audrey answered Jimmie's ques- tion. He's Captain Stirling. Lost his hand in the war-bombing He's coming over to speak to us. .
 Captain Stirling" Jimmie re- peated. You rarely see a one armed golfer. Can he drive a carp
 Rather. Not much he can't do. D
 Stirling, big, dark fellow with close-clipped black moustache and square, high shoulders went over to Nancy, telling her that Evelyn Blake had asked her, Donald and Jimmie to come over for quiet time that evening. It was agreed that She three would go over.
 Jimmie and Audrey should have won the game, which ended all square. She played well, but Jim mics interest in meeting Captain Stirling had put him off his game. Had the one-armed man played any part in the tragedy? Obviously we was friendly to the sisters. Was it his car the chauffeur had seen against the fence? The fact that Dr. Netherton had seen him driv- ing in that direction supported the possibility. That a powerful one armed man could have pushed over the satyr was obvious, but to con- clude that from the mere pres ence of his car appeared worse than accusing Joe Allen because of his disappearance.

 Evelyn's remark to Jimmie gave a lead in the direction of their thoughts. We can't believe what they are saying about Joe Allen If he's innocent, when do you think the detectives from Scotland Yard will come?"
 Probably not at all" he replied adding that Scotland Yard helps in provincial cases only when asked The local police are very efficient
 Especially with the aid of a gifted amateur" Stirling's tone was not entirely free from sarcasm, but Jimmie took it good-humoredly.
 Wrong again." he replied. ''The amateur is seldom of much use in comparison with the trained police man"
 Well, then I hope that Rich mond will soon end the suspense, observed Duckworth.
 But" said Stirling, facing Jim mic, whoever is guilty, how is il to be brought to them, if they deny it and there are no eye -witnesses?'
 All you can do is to get com bination of circumstances and elim- mate reasonable doubt. Take Joe Allen. We'll check up on every de tail of his story and when we fint him question him closely. His mo. torcycle must have been seen o, heard by many along the way. Il his story breaks down, he may con- demn himself"

Lady Grace Winford. All listened closely to the evidently sincere tribute paid the deceased by the Reverend James Horne who did not refer to the suspicious against his ex-choir boy, Joe Allen.
 After the brief services, Mrs. Netherton greeted Nancy, Donald and Jimmie and suggested that Jimmie play golf with Audrey that afternoon as her son could not fill his engagement. Audrey agreed that they would meet again at 2:30 and play partners against the
 Audrey proved to be wonderful golfer, Nancy kept the ball out Of trouble and Donald was at top form; yet, even with the games interest, it was impossible to forget the topic of the hour During a wait on tee Nancy turned sud- denly to Jimmie and said, Do you believe Joe Allen did it?"
 Fifty fifty" he replied. Joe Allen is simple and the teasing Of his friends might have made him reckless. Then he might ride off, planning to hide himself. But the suggested wait in the garden makes me doubtful. He would have had time to cool down. If he is very low type, he might have done it.
 But he isn't" Audrey put in. Where's not much wrong in him. . For a few moments the subject was dropped as play proceeded. But Jimmie seemed curious.
 "I suppose Bill Netherton is an old friend of yours?" he asked.
 She gave him quick glance. 'sYes. He is"
 Bill had always meant to spe- cialize, she said. but his father had died, leaving debts to pay off, and Hiil had to get through quickly and come home A good deal tha. Audrey did not say was implied,

 The finger print system of identi- fication, which Sir Edward intro duced into England at the begin ming of the present century after many years of patient study and research, is at once the faithful, efficient and truthful servant Of the honest man, and the sure, quick and relentless enemy of the crimi- nal. Its author lived to see 1t used by banks, insurance compan- ies, hospitals, express companies, armies, nayies, post offices, courts of justice, police departments, penal institutions and a score of other agencies the world ever, and to tabulate its services in detecting and convicting more notorious crim- inals than perhaps any other in- strumentaliUy heretofore discover ed.

added yesterday to Britains dole fund

by half had been beaten by majority
of only 81, the vote being PSI to 900.
The new grant pushed the total OF
the British unemployment fund from
0,0OO,O 900 (about $3.50, O00,000) to 500
600 900 (about $450,000 00O). The fund
is already about $685. 100000 in debt.
Miss Bondfield cited recent unem-
