Especially as, I dare say, you‘ve decided tnat a summons to appear before the magisâ€" trates would have sufficed." "I didn‘t know, inspector. So I was wrongfully detained?" Richard shrugged his shoulders. "It doesn‘t much matter who told you. now. I certainly wasn‘t expecting you here. Do I go back to gaol " "They didn‘t look in the right place," Joyce remarked. "I might have known this was where he‘d comeâ€"even without being told." "I Was Wrongfully Detained" Inspector Tyrrell was in an excepâ€" tionally bad temper.

The Liberals have faith in Canada, a united country, and in their ability to continue to build, with your support, a more abundant life and greater opportunities for Canadians. The Liberals believe in doing what can be done, as soon as it can be done. If returned to power on June 11th, they will carry on and expand the sound, constructive work already Other practical, workable measures for the security of your home are the Liberal Governâ€" ment‘s laws for Unemployment Insurance and liberal Old Age Pensions. Housing Act, now on the statute books, enables hundreds of thousands of Canadians to get money at low interest and on long, generous rerms to build, renovate or enlarge their own homes. Now that Germany is defeated, plans are already in operation for at least 50,000 dwellings. "Busy as ants," Murrey said, cheered by the scene of activity. "I haven‘t set you on the heavy work, so that‘s arlother concession. Come to think of it I treat you like the whiteâ€"headed boy." In that suggestion of consideraâ€" tion there was almost a plea that "W‘re not so well off there, withâ€" out Thomas." "Shut up," Murrey said curtly. They were loading the prepared sides of meat on to covered vans when the car pulled up at the isolated farm. Men stumbled without illumination other than pale starâ€" light from the slaughter sheds, disâ€" posed of their burdens and hurried back for more. Harkness did not hesitate. Things were turning out far better than he had anticipated. From the first Inâ€" spector Tyrrell had been a friend, contrary to what he had expected. "T‘ll never take kindly to your way of life," Richard retorted. "You‘ve no choice, like I‘ve told you before. Cheer up, man, we aren‘t going to a funeral. In a few hours your load will be delivered and you can take a long holiday. Not too long. I‘ll be wanting you again. And the warehouse." . "Anything I can do." "Murrey has arranged a rendezâ€" vous withs you, Mr. Chetwood. All Tight...we‘ll stick to that name while this is on. If you keep to the arâ€" rangement it may turn out better than my making premature arrests. With you turning up, he‘ll conclude the coast is clear and all the fish will be trawled in onc net. Yes, thit isn‘t a bad idea. Well?" "You aren‘t one of us from choice," he said. "I‘d sooner have a willing volunteer. Chetwood was yellow, too. Maybe you‘ve got guts. We‘ll see." During the fifty mile dash through the darkness he issued final instrucâ€" tions, and pionted out the dire conâ€" sequences of disobedience. "The same thing you did to Thomâ€" as?" Richard asked grimly. Catching sight of him in the poor light Mr. Cooper almost â€" screamed. "That‘s not Perry Chetwood. That‘s not Chetwood. I know him. He‘s Harknessâ€"Richard Harkness." "Only just discovered it, you poor boob? I‘ve known for weeks." "But I can‘t understand . . "Can‘t explain now. You‘ve been a sucker.

"I know who‘s doubleâ€"crossed usâ€" Chetwood!" ‘"Sure?" ‘"‘More or leas." â€"» "We‘ll soon settle with him. Hey, you!" Richard alighted, trying to appear more casuel than he felt. ‘"‘There‘s the devil to pay. This evening the police came to my house with a search warrant." "Whew!" "Fortunately I‘d got the car outside ready to make a short trip. â€" So 1I hopped in and managed to get clear. ‘"That‘s what you think! The cops will know where to look and you‘re pointing them in my direction." "Thougly I‘d never catch up with you," he said. "I stopped three wrong chaps in the last few miles." "Paying paper chase?" "What‘s that?" "You heard! Laying a trail right from the front door. And me trying to cover you up on this job. How‘d you know where to find me, anyway?" "I asked at the farm." "Never did have much gumption. What‘s the big idea chasing me half acress the map?" # "Suppose I must see what the fatâ€" head wants," he muttered, and pulled up a few yards behind the stationary vehicle. "That you, Jack," a voice hailed. "What are you doing here, Chuck?" Mr. Cooper moved into the diffused glow cast by the lorry‘s dimmed headâ€" lights. . The Black Convoy Moves Off â€"â€"It was impossible to listen to Murâ€" rey‘s talk and try at the same time to make out whether the expected [ police cordon was being drawn. Inâ€" Unexpectedly, in a more lonely part, a car shot past with a raucus hoot, and skidded to a stop as the brakes were violently applied. A light winkâ€" ed from beside it. Murrey cursed under his breath and seemed about to ignore the signal. The exchange of positions was anâ€" other . disappointment. . Without conâ€" trol he could only sit and brood over lost opportunities Long since he had decided that Tyrrell‘s guardianship had failed, and that rescue was not to be expected from any following car load. Pessimism and optimism alternated accordingly, ,as the road in the rear was clear of traffic or empty. His fidgetiness was communicated to the driver, leading to high words, after which they were both glum. Where were the police? Tyrrell knew the location and had had ample time to intervene. Now the deliveries were on the way, the loads being dispersed to various parts of the country. It was maddening to sit there impotently. "Curse it, you give me the willies. Slow down and I‘ll take over." "Thought I‘d never catch up with lorry?" Richard. remarked. Murrey chuckled. "I can handle anything with wheels~ one." "Never mind about that. You go careful. Turn right here. We‘re on the North Road. And who‘d believe there was petrol rationing, with all these cars about.‘" They were certainly in a fair stream of vehicles. Several faster ones overâ€" took them, but they were never entireâ€" ly without a following of shaded lights At this, Richard took heart. Proâ€" bably Tyrrell‘s intention was to accomâ€" pany each contraband lorry to its desâ€" tination, thus ensuring that supplier and acceptor were takenâ€"in the act. A slim chance now of putting his original scheme into operation. Jack Murrey would not be deceived by any excuse for climbing down from the driver‘s cab in the vicinity of a police station. â€"Charles would probâ€" ably have sat dumbly until hauled out by a brawny constable. Mind your driving," his companon suddenly exclaimed. ~"Came as near nothing to blashing that cyclist. We don‘t want any accidents. Ugh! Gives me the sudders."
