The next stage was described fairly fully by the Superintendent in his formal reportâ€"a straighforward docuâ€" ment conforming to the prescription laid down in standing orders. IIT Superintendent Maxley had no inâ€" terest in the theorising of Morrison Sharpe and he took the expected attiâ€" tude towards Matthews, who looked like being rebuked for going beyond his powers., There was no psychoâ€"analytical reaâ€" soning in the second examination of the passengers. Pacts were all that were wanted, and they were forced to confine themselves to cutâ€"andâ€"dried information. To the Superintendent Mr. Sharpe‘s information was of no account. Ultimately the coach resumed its inâ€" terrupted journey, though not to the normal terminus. Longer statements had to be taken down at the polics station, each one signed neatly at the foot. Lipping required these for the inquest proceedings and each passenger was warned to be in readiness to attend the following day at ten o‘clock in the forenoon. The Sergeant pleased.

It ran: Extraordinary evidence was given at a Netherton double inquest yesterâ€" day. An adjuornment was ordered in the case of Caleb Wainwright, who was shot on a motor bus. No member of his family has been traced and identification was given by business acquaintances. It was stated that during a series of backâ€"fires from the engine a shot rang out and Wainwright died almost instantaneously. Sergeant Matthews who was early on the scene, found certain papers in the man‘s possession and was present later when the body of the segond victim was found in a a spinney close at hand. WANTED BY POLICE Not until the second inquiry was opened was it revealed that the vicâ€" tim was being sought in connection with defalcations at the Woolham Branch of the British United Bankâ€" ing Corporation. Superintendent Maxley stated that | it had been ascertained that the man was John Winslow, a chief cashier, who left his lodgings the previous day. Certain information had been given to the politce as a result of which they were anxious to interview Winslow. A leather case found on the the bus was claimed by the bank. The Coroner (Dr. A. T. Ambrose): You were present when this case was opened. Supt. Maxley: I was, sir. The Coroner: Kindly say what you found. as specified were missing from the Woolham Branch, where Winslow had been employed. He was a trusted servant of the company and had acâ€" cess to the strong room. Auditors had been called in when the chief cashier failed to turn up for duty. He presented a list of the defalcations. The Coroner: Have you ever heard of Caleb Wainwright? Witness: Never. Coroner: After viewing the body of this man you are certain he is a comâ€" plete stranger? Supt. Maxley: Treasury notes to the value of £4,000 and bearer bonds of £1.250.

However, I can‘t do anything at all. For one thing I‘m suspended." "Good gracious, that is a blow." . _‘"Yes, indeed. The Disciplinary Board is likely to give me short shrift. Alâ€" ready I‘ve had a severe tellingâ€"off for taking too much on myself, and the order of the sack is waiting for me." Matthews‘ pessimism turned out to be unfounded. Two days later he was reâ€" instated and the Discipiinary Board never assembled. The reason for this was that Maxley was no fool. His inâ€" vestigations began to reveal some strange undercurrents and he decided that the patrol officer could be of conâ€" siderable use to him. "The Chief Constable has decided to overlook your conduct," he announced. "Thank you, Superintendent." "FTor the time being you are attached to this department." "What?" "Only temporarily. That bus case isn‘t as clear cut as we thought at first, and I think we can utilize your firstâ€" hand knowledge better if you are immediately available. Although most irregular, your action put us in possesâ€" sion of information that might have been missed." wWIHERE‘S THE PISTOL? | Maxley had gone on to the fresh tack | introduced â€" by the mysterious disap-l pearance of the revolver.

"Not a stone has been left unturned," the Superintendent said. "I mean that literally. Every hedge, tree and bush has been beaten until I am almost preâ€" pared to swear that the firearm isn‘t there." Even the schoolboy had to submit tc rigorous examination. Then came Mr and Mrs. Wyllie and Miss Hanson Litile was added to that already known Gardopoulos had gone back to Lonâ€" don.

Beauty Routine for Hands "I‘ve purchased a mild soap for the hands, and a brittle nail cream which I massage about the base and side of the nail. It isn‘t just imagination, beâ€" cause my nails have improved and don‘t split and peel or break so easily. Then I have a hand cream with a pleasant lilac scent that seems to absorb easily. I massage with a round and round movement on wrists and knuckles which I have learned are the two poinis in the hands where age shows first. Back of the hands I use a downward stroke, but each finger is massaged toâ€" ward the tip to stimulate circulation in the direction of the nail. This, too, I‘ve recently learned. An extra bit of the cream before retiring and then a pair of cotton gloves which are easy to wash and keep clean and which I also use for profecting the hands when working about the house.
