Hylton said sharply.
“You don’t believe in it, eh Mis-
ter?” Well, p’raps you’re right; but
here’s a queer go. D’you notice any-
thing?”
They were standing now by the
table and the Inspector looked care-
fully at the few trappings and adorn-
ments of that bare place.
“Someone’s moved that club,” he
said.
“Ah did; ah put it back in its right
place.”
“In its right place?” Hylton queried
quickly. One heavy wooden club,
tragically smeared at its end, had
been taken, with the body, to More-
chestei- for the inquest; its fellow
now hung from a nail high up on the
wall between the windows.
“But surely it was on this nail
_ ____ ,” Hylton said, pointing to
wxx untenanted nail much lower down
on the same wall.
“It was. That was where we found
it when we came in, wasn’t it, Ser-
geant?”
“That’s right.”

that ancient miser Arthur Bur-

CHICAGO GRAIN REVIEW
CHICAGO, July 1.—(AP)— Grain
prices whirled skyward today, espe-
cially as trading neared an end in a
general stampede to buy.
A large part of Canada’s wheat area
was reported as threatening to dupli-
cate the extraordinary drought that
has largely wrecked domestic crops
in states south of the international
border. At Minneapolis, wheat sky-
rocketed 4 3/4 cents a bushel, and
in Chicago wheat quotations soared
around 3 1/2 cents, with corn and
oats reaching new top price records
for the season.
Wheat in Chicago closed flurried, 3
cents to 3 3/8 cents above yesterday’s
finish, July 95 3/4-7/8, Sept. 96 7/8-
97, corn 1 1/4-2 7/8 advanced, Sept.
67 3/4-7/8, oats 1 1/2-1 3/4 up, and
provisions unchanged to a rise of ten
cents.

NEW YORK, July 1.—(AP)— Cot-

higher on trade buying in. response
to steadier Liverpool cables. July
12.28; Oct. 11.54; Dec. 11.55; Jan. 11.-
55; March 11.57; May 11.61.
Fluctuations were comparatively
narrow during early trading today.
There was some further scattered
realizing and liquidation but the
selling of yesterday afternoon appear-
position and offerings were absorbed
by trade buying and covering.
General business was rather quiet
with traders evidently waiting for
further developments in weather
conditions following private reports
of beneficial rains at some points in
the Southwest. There was some buy-
ing here said to be against sales in
Liverpool on the differences, but also
some selling attributed to the Far
East.
Liverpool cables recorded a steady
market there on trade buying and a
good undertone despite selling on
reports of more favorable weather in
the South.
The weekly report of the weather
bureau made comparatively little
impression on the market. After sell-
ing back to about yesterday’s closing
quotations during the middle of the
morning under liquidation, offerings
tapered off and prices steadied on
continued trade buying and covering.
At mid-day active months were at
about the best prices of the morning
with October selling at 11.60 and the
general list ruling about 5 to 9 points
net higher.

A WHOLE country, departments
of other countries, cities,
streets, parks, and other public
places have been named in honor
of Simon Bolivar, “Liberator” of
South America, and statues have
been erected to him in both Amer-
icas. Such is the fame of this
great patriot, born of nobility, who
freed the Latin countries from
Spanish rule. In his 47 years, from
1783 to 1830, Bolivar fought in
more than 200 battles against
the Spanish rulers.
Despite the Liberator’s sympa-
thy for the downtrodden, however,
the people were misled to believe
he had dictatorial ambitions,, and
he was forced to give up political
leadership to others. Only after
he was gone did the South Amer-
icans begin to appreciate his
unselfishness in their behalf.-

Chapter 17
CHECKING LUMSDALE
“Another half pint, please,” In-
spector Hylton said, “in a tankard,”
and. he smiled amiably at the pretty
fluffy-haired girl who was serving
him.
“Anything more to eat?” the
Crown barmaid enquired.
“No, thanks, my dear, I’m afraid
of my figure, but if you can stand
the smell of cigar smoke I’ll light
this thing.”
“Oh, I love the smell of a cigar,”
the girl assured him, “seems so posh
like, doesn’t it?” ,
It was nearly two o’clock and he
was seated in the bar of the Cro^n
Inn Morechester and his morning
had been a busy one. It had been a
morning devoted entirely to Mr. An-
drew Lumsdale.
He drew a pencil from his pocket
and began to tick off points on the
back of an envelope.
(1) Captain Reeves says that he
left Enderton Court at 5 or ten past,
ana that A. B. was then alive—this
may or may not be true.
(2) Lumsdale’s story—here the In-
spector paused and considered afresh
all he had done that morning.
The West Sussex Transport System
Limited had imposing head offices in
Morechester, and Hylton’s official
card had very soon brought the en-
tire place at his disposal. Before long
he was interviewing Frederick War-
ner, the conductor of the 2:40 bus
from Hope Enderton to Morechester
on the fatal Monday.
Fred Warner was a broad-shoulder-
ed, healthy young man of twenty-two
or -three. Yes, he got to know the
regulars on his bus pretty well. Yes,
he knew Mr. Lumsdale, Mr. Burdett’s
man, well by sight. Mr. Lumsdale
nearly always came on the 2:40 bus
on Mondays; he certainly did last
Monday; he came over the fields in
front of the Court, and the bus had
to stop especially for him by the stile.
Warner’s evidence was straight^
forward and unhesitating and carried
conviction. At the Regal (“the big
place in the Square” as Andrew
Lumsdale had described it) the In-
spector’s luck petered out. Off then
to the Crown where the production
of his card had worked wonders with
the Landlord. The presence of a big
pot from Scotland Yard reduced Mr.
William Trotter to humiliating
depths of servility.
The Crown was famous for its bil-
liards room and Jimmy Pratt, the
marker, was a character in the town.
He answered all Hylton’s questions
like the sharp little Cockney spar-
row that he was.
Mr. Lumsdale? Certainly, he knew
Mr. Lumsdale; one of his regulars.
Monday? Of course he came in on
Monday. About half past five as near
as made no matter th^t was his time
for coming in, and play d until sev-
en. Positive? Certainly he was posi-
tive The fluffy-haired little creature
in the bar had been the next link in
the chain; she, too, knew Mr. Lums-
daie by sight, he had acquired some
degree of local notoriety by reason
of the celebrated eccentricities of his
master. Usually camo in for some-
thing to eat on Monday nights. On
lasc Monday he cetrainly did, she re-
membered distinctly. Time? About
seven, coincident with the arrival of
her own supper from the kitchen.
So far all this tallied exactly with
Lumsdale’s own story and it seemed
pretty clear that he had not left the
Crown in Morechester until say a
IUST A COUPLE OF COMICS

quarter to eight on Monday evening.
Even if he walked back, according to
his own statement, arriving say at
nine, there was nothing inherently
impossible in the supposition that
he went in, murdered Arthur B.urdett
straight away, and then reported the
matter to Sergeant White.
Against this theory was the Doc-
tor’s very definite opinion that death
had taken place some time before
eight. Hylton realized that what
Chambers had said was, after all, on-
ly an opinion, and he wondered . . .
He gently eased the long ash off
his cigar and considered again the
one small point in which the results
of his enquiries had deviated from
Lumsdale’s own statement.
Frederick Warner, the bus conduc-
tor, had not only noticed Lumsdale
on his ’bus, but he also happened to
notice where that worthy went to
when he left the bus. On Monday^
afternoon Lumsdale crossed over the
pavement and went straight into the
Post Office; of this Warner was posi-
tively certain.
With this aim in view he made his
way back to Hope Enderton.
Lumsdale was in at the Court when
he got there and bid him “goodday”
with an independent nod of the head.
“Well, I’ve been ferreting around,”
the Inspector assured him cheerfully.
“You seem to be known by sight ev-
erywhere as a matter of fact.”
“More people know' Tom Fool than
Tom Fool knows.”
“Even the imposing gentleman out-
side the picture place knows you.”
“He’s clever then, for ah’ve never
said a word to him in me life.”
“He says as far as he can remem-
ber’ that you went into the pictures
about half past three on Monday.”
Lumsdale looked up sharply from
his task. “He can’t remember very
far then,” he said. “What would I
be doing messing about in Moreches-
ter till then?”
“To tell you the truth,” Hylton
said disarmingly, “that’s just what
I have been wondering. You didn’t do
any shopping or anything on the
way?”
“Ah went straight to pictures, Mis-
ter, ah tell you,” Lumsdale repeated
doggedly.
“Just so. Ah, well, the florid-faced
gentleman outside the Cinema must
bewrong then.”
Lumsdale’s thin lips were pursed
for some doubtless scathing comment
when voices in the back passage in-
terrupted him.
“Better go out and see who that
is,” Hylton suggested, “we don’t
want people poking about here.”
“There’s some as seem pretty
handy at it,” Lumsdale said as he left
the room to investigate. Quick as
lightning the Inspector crossed the
floor and taking a photograph from
the mantelshelf tucked it away in
his pocket. It was a fairly recent
likeness of friend Lumsdale.
“It’s Sergeant White as is poking
about now,” Lumsdale announced,
returning with White hard on his
heels.
“I saw you come up the road to
the Court, sir,” White explained, “and
I though I’d look in to see if you
wanted me for anything.”
“Good man. We’ll walk down to
your place together. I’ve just been
having a friendly chat with Lums-
dale.”
“That’s right.” Lumsdale gave one
of his rare, unmirthful laughs. “And
now I’ll tell you one thing as per-
haps you don’t know, just to show I
am friendly like. Come this way.”
He led them both into the room
where the murder had been commit-
ted. The body had been taken to the | here before ;
Coroner’s Court at Morechester in an untenan-
preparation for the inquest. It was
a relief not to see that sheeted hud-
dle on the table and yet, in some
queer way, the room seemed even
grimmer and less pleasant for being i
empty. And what with this feeling,
and the damp chill of the place, Hyl-
ton gave an involuntary little shiver.
Lumsdale noticed it and nodded.
“Feels a bit like that,” he said. “Ah
reckon t’old boy’s still hanging about
the Court, near that safe of his, I
wouldn’t wonder.”

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, July 1.—(AP)—
Cotton futures staged small net ad-
vances at the opening today, gaining
from 2 to 6 points in quiet dealing.
July gained 6 points at the first call
to 12.30, while first call sales of Oc-
tober at 11.49, December at 11.48 and
January at 11.48 were a point or so
higher.
Cables were better at the opening,
aiding domestic prices.
New crop months extended their
early advances during the morning,
but the volume of business fell off
to low proportions.
Speculative interests did not ap-
pear in the market on either side and
a fair volume of trade buying was
the main development.
July sold at 12.26, October at 11.53
and March at 11.51.
The weekly weather report gave
varied conditions throughout the
belt. Texas was reported to be with-
standing the drought well but mois-
ture was needed in all sections.
