There was a momentary silence. layland rose and carried his glass i the table; but, instead of r_e- urnlng instantly to his chair, /ent and stood with his back to .iie square of the window. When he turned to face Jim, the light flung his head and shoulders into hold relief, and showed his M011"! taut as a stretched cord, and his eyes half-hooded under the heavy lids.

"You know that?" Wayland re- peated.

"yes, I believe so," equably.

“Then why come to _me? Why not go straight to the police? The)’ HE the people to deal with i-t."

"Oh. not necessarily, You see," said Jim, as one explaining gently to a child. "1 wanted to be strictly fair to you. I am sure you have acted throughout with the purest motives, Dr, Wayland, and I should hate to be the means of casting unwarranted suspicion on you. No one knows better than I how im- possible it would be for you to suppress evidence or even falsify it. The thing's unthinkable. But you know how prone the public its to think the worst of a man. And I should hate to be the cause of such a false position for you."

He paused. The doctor continued to regard him with a fixed, un- wavering stare, and said no word- Jlm pursued in the same apologetic tone: "As for motive-people are quite capable of supplying that; you know what extremely lively imag- inations they have. If they even think of nothing more probable they'll say: ‘Of course, Wayland was in love with Mrs. Hart, and wanted hi: most dangerous rival out of the way?"

Maurice Wayland swung round in a sudden movement, his fists clenched. his bod poised forward

and quivering wit anger and hate. The amazing thing waa that mpart‘ from a certain tightening of theI black broad line of his brows that‘ immobile face of his did not change. Nor did he qui-te lose control of hlsl hands, though they must have ached to be at Jim's throat. l "Are you making an accura- tlon?" he asked in a thick iowi

‘voice. "Because if so, we had bet-

ter have official witnesses pres-l ent." i

"I? Oh, my dear man, is it like-, ly? I'm merely trying to point out all the possibilities. You and I know what utter nonsense it is,‘ but that's what they'll say. No. what I'm saying is that you may care to wonder whether you could- n't _just possibly --have been hon- “stly mistaken."

"About the identity of the mur-l Tarer?" asked Wayland deliberate- ‘v. his mouth relaxing into an un- pleasant smile.

About the cause of at .

"This is childish. l.’ don't know what you hope to gain by it, for yourself or your friend. The man's right temple was stove in. He died of a commlnuted fracture of the skull, and believe me. no man needs more. You saw the body for yourself."

"I am not a medical man. I didn't examine the body; I'm quite pre- pared to believe that the commrnut- ed fracture of the skull was the cause of death. But what was the cause of the comminuted fracture of the skull?”

JIJALOUS GUILT

He went back to his own chair. sauntering with his hands in his pockets. Slowly Wayland followed his example. Ji-m began to fill his pipe, with lazy, leisurely move- ments. stubblng the brown mlxtu-re down in the bowl with his finger- end.

"Now let me put a purely hypo- thetical case. A man. not generally known to be an epileptic-J’ He broke off. looking up sharply: "Did you speak?"

human and understandable, would- n't it, for the doctor to let his mind be coloured at once by the suggestion of murder. He might not, perhaps, look so carefully an he should for the minor details- the clenched teeth- the bitten tongue-the livid face —the froth at the comers of the mouth. He might give evidence that the dead man was murdered; and some iii- nooent person might -if provi- dence or someone in the lhape of providence didn't intervene — be hanged for the murder. You follow my reasoning?"

"Perfectly."

"'I‘hat's merely a hypothetical case. of course. It could happen in half a hundred other ways. What I'm asking you to realize is that it could happen. Now I know you would be the last person in the- world to want an innocent man to die for a mistake. If it were put to the doctor in my test-cane. an l am putting it to you, I think he would suggest to the police that an application should be made to the Home Office for an exhuma- tion order, so that a further exam- ination could be made.

Your dealer would be a happy man if he could give you the exact delivery date of your new car. Even if that date were six months away, it would give you something definite to go an. Bu: he can't because we can't tell bfm how many cars will be delivered to him this year . . . or even this month.

The main reason is shortage of materials. Not only our own, but those of 1,200 feeder plants from whom we buy. Our expediters are searching the country trying to keep our slender supply of materials from running out: "When can we get steel P’! . . . “Where can we find tires P?! a a a Pl-iow soon can we get textiles?!

In spite of all our odor-ts, this year's production looks like a child's saiidpila against the mountain

of urgent orders for new cars and trucks ; a z more than a four-year accumulation of demand. Now and then, for short periods, our output resembled our pro-war production. Now dwindling stockv piles have already forced us to adopt a three-day work week. And by the time you read this, pro- duftion of cars and trucks may have entirely ceased.

l: isn't a bright picture, but we think Canadians would rather have cold/acts. So the answer to your question about your now car is really out of our hands.

"In that ease." said Jim in a mat- ter-or-fact tone. "of course it would be up to the defence to ap- ply for an exhumation order them- selves, over his head. That would- n't look so well for him, natural- ly-lt the defence should be prov- ed right." <
