In the meantime, an official of an

His answers were direct. his manner

He was excused for few moments.
"How did he impress you. gentle

The vote was unanimous that If

1t was likewise the most unique and
shrewd maneuver ever made in the

In this manner a great star signed
a contract without a camera test -
something that is most unusual in
Hollywood.
Just recently Cooper signed a con-
tract to return to the producer with
whom he refused to sign years ago.

teapot? The sort of burglar of whom
he was already building up an image
in his own mind wanted money,
money, money.
Stepping off the side-path, he walked
up on to a piece of waste ground and,
putting the small silver teapot care
fully in a kind of little hollow. he
covered it up with some Of the stones
and rubbish which lay about.
He had walked at least two miles
before he got into a cross country
NOTORIOUS linking Northington with
Crawley-on-the-Ed Edge. There, after
carefully washing his hands in the
waiting room of the station, he caught
a train back to London.
A taxi dropped him in Grosvenor
Square; and in one of the smaller, and
now but dimly lighted streets. of
Mayfair, he took off his coat, and
dropped it over into the area belong
ing to a little shop. Then he hurried
on till he reached his house in Park
Lane. and letting himself in with his
latchkey went quietly up to bed. He
had left word he would be very late
and that no one was to sit up for him.
1t was ten O'Clock, the next morn
ing, when John Bosely crept back to
his desccrated home. Mr.. Wardell,
manager Of the bank where Bosely
was chief accountant. had taken
Bosely home with him for the night,
after what had seemed an eternity Of
cross-examination at police head
quarters.
And then, owing to strong seda-
tive administered by Wardell. Bosely
had slept late, until after his host had
had to 60 to the bank. Upon awaken
ing and finding himself alone. the un-
happy man had left his friends house,
unobserved, and had walked across
town to his own home.
As he put his key in the lock of his
front door it appeared to Bosely as if
aeons of time had gone by since he
had left his wife, little more than
twenty-four hours ago, not only well,
but looking so absolutely her happy,
placid self.
The hall looked as usual Not so the
sitting room into which he shudder-
ingly entered. Every inch of it had
been gone over last night, and finally
the carpet and fire irors had been
taken away for further examination.
And yet there was no mystery to be
solved, save that of discovering who
had so foully and brutally done to
death the good. kindly woman whose
body now lay in the town mortuary,
awaiting the ministrations of a famous
pathologist from London.
The long walk in the cold morning
air had cleared John Bosely's brain,
and as he sank into the chair which
stood on the bare-looking boarded

What Might Have Happened
Confisvsd from poos five

floor by the crate now half full of
ashes and half-burnt coal, he recalled
what had happened yesterday evening.
First had come that foolish practical
joke - the telephone message which
had sent him on a wild goose chase
to the still empty house of his absent
friend. Robert Dusk Then his return
home, a good bit later than usual
Though the curtains were drawn, he
had seen the light behind them. and
he had hastened his steps. eager for
the nice supper Jane would have
ready. and also eager to tell her of the
mysterious joke that had been played
on him.
Hazily he remembered having no
ticed that his macintosh had gone
from the peg on which it always hung.
Though Jane would sometimes fling
it over herself if anyone rang while
she was upstairs changing her dress,
she always put it back in its right
place.
And then?
And then he had opened the door
of the sitting room and, stepping for
ward, had stumbled. in the dimly-
lighted room. over his wife's body.
Whoever had felled her to the ground
had gone to some pains to straighten
out that poor body. And her face
looked so peaceful that he. John
Bosely, who had only twice in his life
seen death, had felt passionate hope
she might, even now. be still alive.
That was why he hadn't stayed
more than moment in his house be-
fore rushing to the nearest neighbour
who had telephone, to send an
S o S to three doctors in succession.
But before the first one had had
time to arrive, police Inspector. sum-
moned by the owner Of the phone as
soon as John Bosely had gone home.
motored up with a police surgeon,
to whom a glance had been enough to
pronounce Jane Bosely dead. Indeed.
both the Inspector and the police sur
geon evidently thought it incredible
that John Bosely could have doubted
that his wife was dead. even for the
few moments he admitted - "ad-
mitted" had been their word - hav-
ing been in the house after his awful
discovery.
Yes, all that had happened here.
last evening. was clearly remembered
by him now, even to the way the in
spector had badgered him - yes. bad
gered was the word - about his half
burnt macintosh.
How could he explain why that old
garment he so seldom wore had been
thrown, bloodstained. on the fire? The
obvious explanation was that Jane
might have been wearing it when her
murderer had rained blow after blow
on her. But then, as the inspector had
Evening star., 1936-08-23

pointed out, truly. why and by whom
had it been flung on the fire?
As to what had happened at the
police station, Bosely had but hazy
recollection. He had been asked, it
now seemed to him, hundreds of
questions. Questions dealing with the
whole of what had been a happy. if
an uneventful life. He had even been
asked if he had made an enemy, or
enemies, among the native population
during the two years he had spent in
India as young man! But he could
recollect nothing of the sort. In fact,
during that long interrogation he had
been, as he had heard one of the men
murmur to another, like shell-shock
case in the war.
Suddenly some word said as to his
James sweet nature had set him off
crying like child, and. just as if he
we're not there, one of his inquisitors
had observed to the other, why, she
was quite an elderly woman. Queer
he should take on like that" But
there had come feeling answer, "I'm
not with you there. Me and my missus
have been married nearer forty years
than thirty. and if found her as this
poor chap says he found his wife, I
expect I'd 90 on just as he's doing"
And now he was in this room, this
desecrated room where he and Jane
had spent such happy. happy hours
ever since they had first walked
proudly in here, knowing the house
was, at last, their very own. He was
glad they had paid off the mortgage,
for that had given Jane such pleasure.
He had teased her, saying that maybe
she'd live here as a widow. and then
he'd been oh! 50 touched, for her eyes
had filled with tears, and she'd ex-
claimed, Il wish husbands and wives
could die just at the same minute!
Sometimes they do. and maybe we
will"
Dear Lord! If only that could have
been so yesterday. If only he had been
here, to be killed while defending her,
by her side. -.
Bosely didn't know how long he had
been there when he heard a key -
James key - turn in the lock and,
looking round, saw the door of the
sitting room being pushed open.
Hes here after all! l always said
he might be -"
And then the speaker of those
strange words, a police sergeant, ac-
tually laughed "a triumphant laugh
full of relief.
'Well, MIR. Bosely, you've led US a
pretty dance! You oughtn't to have
come here, you know It's quite out
of order"
81 didn't know that" Bosely NUT
tered.

NEW YORK, September "A
caustic criticism by David Lloyd
George that American participation
In the World War was "a fussy mud
die" drew a sharp challenge today
from Gen. Hugh johnson, who di-
rected the American Armys supply
and trafflc organization.
1T is one of the most inexplicable
paradoxes of history" the wartime
premier wrote in the fifth volume Of
his memoirs. published in London
today, that the greatest machine
producing Nation on earth failed to
turn out mechanism for war after
1S months of sweating. toiling,
hustling."
Johnson retorted that the United
States achieved the swiftest and
greatest mobilization of force by any
nation or combination of nations in
the war in similar period"
Lloyd George also revived the is
sue of the command of the A. E. F.
with barbed comments on Gen. John
j. Pershing's refusal to permit the
doughboys to be absorbed into
French and British units. This, too,
aroused johnson.
The Welsh statesman, while deScrib-
Ing the American soldiers as ''supurb." !"
accused Pershing of endangering the
allied cause by his insistence that the
American Army operate as unit, and
said PerShing was Quivering with sus-
picion that the British and French
meant to rob him of his army"
Replied Johnson:
Il never saw Pershing quiver. but
he certainly had right to. His orig
inal order in August, 1917, contem-
plated an American army under an

Gen. Pershing. with the constant
knowledge and approval of President
Wilson, insisted on carrying out his
orders. and while at every crisis he
relaxed this policy, as was superbly
acknowledged by Gen. Foch (comman-
