pie way out of a dilemma OF
the 1882 model motor car as or
The closest one can come to
summarizing just what has been
achieved is to say succinctly that
the amazing automobile industry
has amazed itself quite as much
as its enthusiastic patron. It has
created values which would be
impossible were it not that every
circumstance of their creation is
normal.
Chassis Changed
Although the body has come in
for rather startling redesign and
the engine changed in many i'm
portant ways, it is the chassis that
heads the automobile stage cen
ter this year.
To say this is not to minimize
the changes in the other two, but
to magnify the much more spec
tacular nature Of those in the
chassis. Outshone every year since
1924 whn four-wheel brakes gave
its pre-eminence. the chassis can.
not be denied this year, even by
the aerodynamic body or the
smoothest, most powerful engine
motordom ever knew.
The transmission alone-with
ree-wheeling or clutch control
plus automatically meshing, silent
gears-wou1G almost give the
chassis the bulk of the spotlight.
Other Features
When 1t is accompanied by such
other items as controllable shock
abSorbers, automatic, starting,
elimination of high-speed insta-
bility, new methods of spring
ing which not only enhance COM
fort but give the car an aStonish-
ing increase in roadability, the
newest type gear-set completes an
Incompatible chassis assemble.
The first fact about the new
car with which the public should
become acquainted is that this
years transmission is not last
years. Both feature free.wheel-
ing-or do in many cases-,but
there the resemblance ends.
Whatever shortcomings this par,
ticular type of gear-set had be-
fore, they now are eliminated
and the most revolutionary i'm
provement ever wrought in driv-
ing ease is accomplished.
Uniform in Control
All cars this year free-wheel in
all forward speeds. That means
the clutch is entirely eliminated
in normal driving, whether
through the agency of a device
that automatically diSengages the
clutch or one that separates the
drive shaft and the transmission.
Methods of controlling free
wheeling care now uniform and
considerably improved. All are
located on the instrument board
and in many cases dial on the
dash informs the driver whether
the car is, or is not, in conven
tional gear control.
While the automatic starter is
not a feature Of all cars, it is
to be found on some in all price
classes.
The third feature Of the chassis
all-star cast in the 1882 model
is. the ride control shock alb
sorber. It is confined for the
most part to cars in the medium
and higher-priced classes.
StreamIining Trend
The headlight of the body de
sign this year is involved in 8
change which affects appearance
and performance with equally
good results. It is the revision
of frontal design, which, lest it!
implication be lost, must be recog
nized as the beginning of a trenc

Of the case, he had arrived on the first
train that morning The roads had
been impossible for cars, even with
chains; otherwise he would have arrived
the night before. He was standing now
in Capt. Trevelyan's study, having just
completed his examination of the room.
With him was Sergt. Pollock of the
champion police.
"Ye-es," said Inspector Narracott.
A ray of pale Wintry sunshine came

the snowy landscape. There was a
fence about hundred yards from the
window and beyond 1t the steep ascend

Inspector Narracott bent once more

his inspection. An athletic man him

head was small and well set on the
shoulders and the pointed naval beard
was carefully trimmed. Capt. Trevel-

spector Narracott.
"Ah!" said Sergt. Pollock.
The other turned on him.
What is your view of it,
"Well-" Sergt. Pollock scratched
his head. He was cautious man, un-
willing to advance further than neces-
sary.
We'll" he said, "as I see it, sir, I
should say that the man came to the
window, forced the lock and started

suppose, must have been upstairs.
Doubtless the burglar thought the house
was empty"
Where is Capt. Trevelyan's bed room
situated?"
Upstairs, sir. Over this room"
AT the present time Of year it Is
dark at 4 o'clock. If Capt. Trevelyan
was up in his bed room the electric
light would have been on. The burglar
would have seen it as he approached

The bell trilled shrilly.
Burnaby waited. After a pause of

he pushed the bell again.
Once more there was no stir Of life.
Burnaby rang a third time. This
time he kept his finger on the bell.
It trilled on and on-but there was
still no sign of life in the house.
There was a knocker on the door.
Maj. Burnaby seized it and worked 1t
vigorously, producing noise like
thunder.
And still the little house remained
silent as the dead.
The major desisted. He stood for a
moment, as though perplexed-then he
slowly went down the path and out at
the gate, continuing on the road he
had come towards champion. A hun

police station.
He hesitated again, then finally

Graves, who knew the habits Of the

as I'm telling you, L can't get in. I've

Some Of his uneasiness seemed to
communicate itself to the policeman.
That's odd," he said, frowning.
"Of course, it's odd," said Burnaby.
Think he might have been taken
bad?" The policeman's face frightened,
I'll try the telephone" 1t stood at his
elbow. He took it and gave the num-

But to the telephone, as to the front
door bell, Capt. Trevelyan gave no
reply.

too. We'd best get hold of DR.. Warren
and take him along with u.s."
DR.. Warren's house was almost next
door to the police station. The doctor
was Just sitting down to dinner with
his wife and was not best pleased at
the summons. The snow was still fall
ing.
'Damnable night" murmured the
doctor. Hope you haven't brought me
out on wild goose chase. Trevelyan's
as strong as horse. Never has any
thing the matter with him."
Burnaby did not reply.
Arriving at HaZelmoor once more,
elected no response.
The doctor then suggested going
round the house to one of the back
windows.
Easier to force than the door,
There was side door which they
tried on the way, but it too was locked,
and presently they emerged on the
snow-covered lawn that led up to the
back windows. Suddenly, Warrel
uttered an exclamation.
The window of the study-it's open"
True enough. the window. a French
one, was standing ajar. They quick
ened their steps. On night like this,
no one in his senses wouldeopen a win

that streamed out in thin yellow band.
The three men arrived simultaneously
at the window-Burnaby was the first
man to enter, the constable hard on his
heels.
They both stopped dead inside and
something like muffled cry came from
the ex-soldier. In another moment
Warren was beside them, and saw what
they had eeen.
Capt. Trevelyan lay on the floor, face
downward. His arms sprawled widely.
The room was in confusion-drawers Of
the bureau pulled out, papers lying
about the floor. The window beside
them was splintered where it had been
forced near the lock Beside Capt.

Warren sprang forward. He knelt
down beside the PROSTATE figure.
One minute sufhced. He rose to his
