"Did the young lady use the t<-le- phone while she wa.s hei-e?" "We ain't on it, sir " Nonnan gave the waittr five .shil- lings and retreate<l into, the hall. He had reached the nitrance and was making for his cyc'.c, which he had left at the curb, when the throaty voice of the waiter stopp<;d him : "Arf a njo', sir. I dunno if this has to do with you. I found it when I was sweeping up after th« luncheon people were gone." "This" was a scrap of paper, the creases in It suggesting that it had originally been twisted into that home- ly form of communication, a three- comercd not«. It bore a few words in pencil : "Prevented at last moment from joining you. Oome to keeper's cot- tage- You will fmd me there without fail." Putting the note in his pocket, Nor- man added a pound to hi.s first tip. Then he went out and started his motorcycle, the drone of it drowning the chuckle with which the wheezy waiter retreated into the hotel. He walked up to the door and rap- ped with his knuoli>s. The scroop of a chair sounded within arsi a sojr- faced woman opened to him. "Ble^:?! us and- save us! I thought 'twas the irian with the poultry food," tha exclaimed. "Whyt might you please to want, sir?" "I came to inquire a'jout Miss Glen- ister," replied Norman. "I have rea- son to believe thf.t she rtas here this afternoon." Mrs. Grimes moved away from the d%»A'ay in an implied invitation to enter which Norm::n instantly ac cepted. "1 dunno nothing about Miss Glen- iiiter," she said. "I've been out ijll riay. Y'ou'd best ask me hus>band. There he sets.'* At the other end of the low-ceiled living room John Grimes sat on a stool warmini^ kis hands at a wood •ire- His great shouldc*s wore hunch ed in an attitude of dejecti-m. Nor- man, who was quicker in action than at arm-<'hair theorj', noticed this, and he also noticed two other things. On the wall was a telephone. And Mrs. Grimes was struck with sudden solici- tude for an oil lamp which stood on a table in the window-bay. She went CHAPTER XVIir. THE TRAP CLOSES. The auwntB who named Cupid "the Wind god" were wiae in their genera- lion. No one not under the influence of that divinity would have behave<l quite 80 rashly as did Norman Slater after "picking up his clues" at The Bull. It never occurred to him that they had been planttMl on him as a card is planted by threiM-nrd trick- sters. Aflf Grinatead's selection of a mo- bike had been sound, and the nevem miles of road vanished like a lurid dream. With a blast from Us horn he tore through Beechwo<jd village, past the lodge gates of Becchwood Grange and so Into the network of lanes that led to the stile beyond which wound the woodland path to the c«>ttage of the head-keeper. The cycle had earned its rest. Nor- man bestowed it among the bracken in a (fry ditfh close to the stile and of necessity set out to finish his our- ney on foot. Eventually he came out Into the clearing- The diamond-paned window? of the cottage w«'re laced Willi light from within, but there wa.« no m<ion to show the old mill across the stream.

Norman had got to know the silent head-keeper rather -well during the short period when he had been a shooting guest at the Grange. "How are you. Grimes'.'" he said, forcing the cordial note. "You can't have forgotten me yet" The keeper reared his giant bulk froTO the stool and confronted his visi- tor. But he ignored his visitor's out- stretched hand and avoided his eye. "I mind ye well enough, sir," he said in surly fashion. "Come to stay with the master again?" "No, I just wanted to ask you a fe\v queetions," rejoined Norman He did not like the look of things. The man's I manner was furtive. The woman's action with the lamp might have been a signal • "We've got a rare pack of pheasant.s left," Grimes remaike<i with baffling Irrelevance. He lift«'d his gaze ivow, but it was dire<-t«d over Norman's shoulderâ€" toward the doi>r. The keep- er's hard, gray eyes seemed to put a question and to receive an answer. Norman took the warning of that lnt«>rchange a fraction of a second Uh) late. Hid hand flew to the pistol in his pocket, but the bear's hug of John Orimra pinioned his arms and a ju- jitnu kick in the small of his back did the peivt. He was Iwrne to the floor and a moment later he was vainly flghting the fumen of a chloroformed •pong* pressed to his mouth and not>- trna. CHAPTER XIX. THE ART Ol- riNESSE.

On this occasio.i he was in his own natural semblance, since he wished Sir Dudley to recog- nize him at sight as the police officer who had pulled Norman Slater olT him in the fracas at Cadogan Gardens- H« alighted at the little wayside station, went to the lodge gates of the Grange, walked up the avenue, and rang the bell at the gfreat oaken front door. Hinkley rather jibbed at admitting him, but yielded at once on being informed of the visitor's official position. There was no one in the library and Wrugge had to wait a long half-hour before Sir Dudley joined him. "Come to arrest me for murdering my cousin?" Sir Dudley sneered. Wragge assumed a servility he was far from feeling. "You will have your little joke, Sir Dudley," the inspector laughed. "I am after Mr. George Glenister's murderer all right, but it is your help I want â€" not you." '"The object of my call, Sir Dudley," said Wragge, "is to beg you to tell me if you have heard the names of any local gentlemen mentioned in con- nection with the keeper's daughter. You must have all the local gossip at your finger tips." The baronet shook his head. "They don't tell me much, these village clo<ie," he said. "No, I never heard who Sally's mashes were except that there were plenty of them- The talk is that she was married to some fellow in I.«ndon." Wragge made a wry face expressive of disappointment. "That's not very informing," he said. "I »<>em to have had my journey for nothing. But I should value your opinion on one other poiot, Sir Dudley. How about your keeper, John Grimes, as the mur- derer?" Had a high explosive shell burst wittiin a hundred yards of the house the effect on it« owner could not have been more marked. He sprang to his feet, his face gone all purple and working strangely. "What oj»- earth put such tommy rot into your head?" he hectored. "Why .should Grimes want to kill my cousin?" "I don't say he did; it is only a con- jecture," replied the inspector sooth- ingly. "There might have been the eld melodramatic motive of the out- raged father who wants to get square on his daughter's seducer, eh?" Sir Dudley broke Into a cacUe of har.vh laughter. "That's a bad break, | Wragge," he said. "I was beginning to be impressed with your cleverness but now you've gone and spoilt it." "We will rule Grimes out then," said Wragge, ri.sing to depart- "Good- day, Sir Dudley, and many thanks." (To be continued.)

BIG PRklE REDUCTION IN ROGERS BATTERYLESS RADIOS Canadian Company Leads Field In Production of Batteryless Sets Price reductions ot $26. $45 and $50 on the new 1928 Models of the famous Rogers Batteryless Radios were an- nounced recently by Rogers dealers. These drastic changes are not a price "cut" on special models, but constitute the creation of an entirely new and lower price level for all Rogers Radios from now on. These big reductions represent savings, passed on to the public, through economies In purchasing, production and distribution of Rogers Bets due to the tremendously rapid Increase In sales during the past two years. There can be no doubt but that the Inauguration of these new prices will stimulate radio sales, for it Is now possible for anyone to own a Battery- less Radio with all Its advantages and economies at the price of an ordinary battery set. As a representative of the Q.R.S. .Music Co., the Rogers distributors in Eastern Canada, expressed it: "Three years ago when the Rogers was first Introduced It was the only Batteryless Radio on the market." Not only does the Rogers eliminate all batteries, chargers, chemicg's, at- tachments and complicated wires, so that all you have to do is plug It into your llgbt socket and tuue in, but it takes care of variations in line volt- ages In different localities and In the same locality during different times of the day, so there is no danger of burning out rubes.
