contributing factor to the accident.
The crash occurred shortly after
l o'clock as Moore was driving south
on the Summit Bridge Middletown
Road, main detour around st. GeOr-

Moore's car, police say, ran into
the rear of the semi-trailer of the
Preston Trucking Company, operated
by Elwood A. Bowling, Al, of Brook

Privates John Fahey and Walter
Shafer of the state police, notified

Bowling, arrested by police, was
placed under $4,000 bail on charges
of assault and battery on Moore, and
$1,000 bail on a charge of assault and
battery on Miss Marvel, for further

he had made a few notes and rose
to his feet.
"Sorry to have been such a nui-

"By all means" the young man

passed out. For a moment on the
threshold she paused and looked in

satisfied her, for she waved her hand
and departed with smile.

"but at any rate you went quite far
enough"
"There was no need to go further"
NARROW remarked drily. "Miss SIAM
Ter told me all that I, or rather Finch,
wishes to know"
"You would be a great deal WISER"
Matresser said coldly, "and you would
come a great deal nearer solving this
mystery if you would put it out of
your head that Miss Stamier could
possibly have had anything to do
with this affair. The purchase of
hypodermic syringe is an everyday
affair.""
Nevertheless" NARROW persisted,
''The fact that that syringe is found
within few feet of the person whose
death we are here to investigate,
naturally makes the purchase of some
interest"
81 do not PROPOSE" Matreser said
firmly, "to discuss this matter with
you, NARROW. It is the decision of
Sir Francis Tring that no charge of
murder must be brought against any
one unless the evidence has first been
placed before him. Find the criminal
by all means, but your particular
business, NARROW, is to see that Scot

mark. A blunder on their part would
bring about serious complications.

of course" he acknowledged, "but
you must admit that it is a little diff
ficult for Scotland Yard to stay their
arm altogether when brutal muir

"Well, difficult or not, it has to be
done", Matresser said sternly, "and
if you feel in the least doubt as to
your instructions, you had better tele-
phone once more to M17B before you
make any false move which would
mean the removal of two very able
officers from the service. There is to
be no arrest until Downing Street
permits it, even if you get confess
sion"
NARROW, detected and puzzled, took
his leave. Yates stroked his chin for
several moments thoughtfully. Once
he moved towards the window and
looked up at the sky, then he turned
his shaggy head towards Matresser.
"Have you received word from Lon
don as to your destination, sir?" he
asked.
Matresser smiled.

She frowned.

NARROW shrugged his shoulders and
glanced towards Matresser. His silky
tone had lost it's courteous note. His
Manner, too, had changed. He ex-
planned:
"'I am here to discover privately or
publicly the person who administered
poison to Fergus and stole his pa
pers. It is obvious, therefore, that the
subject of recently acquired hypo-
dermic syringe, of the same pattern
as that discovered by the side of the
murdered man, interests me-"
"That syringe could have had moth
ing whatever to do with the one I pur
chased" Elizabeth asserted. A queer
little silence. It became obvious that
she did not intend to speak further.

"None."
