“Maybe, but lrn the meantime, I have news. Flash Oardew, I fancy. has a hide-out in a boarding house —; rooming house somewhere near the Kilburn High Road. He ‘used to stay in that locality but we never found out exactly ivhcre."

"That's very vague, sir."

“Very, But he used to use c news-agent's shop as an accom- modation address. I've had It watched since the news came to me but he probably won't so buck to it. I'm very anxious to get Mr. Cardew. Apart from a string oi’ crl-riies in this country -misinl_v robbery with and without violence —tlia New York police are even more interested than.we are -kid- napping and blackmail. He’: a real peach!"

"Sooner or later he will show up again at Mossford.”

The chief nodded: "He wee in Kllburn. however. last night. and called for letters but there were none. The newsagent was out at the time and iii-s wife — a very in- telligent person-didn't, recognise him so he's presumably disguised. H9 lust droPued in, asked for any letters in the name of Porter and went."

“Willi rcspcct sir, that doesn't sccn-i very helpful. The odrts were

on his being in London, in any ossc." "It's an old haunt oi his and

he's back IIlPTC. It might ho worth looking into. Ho's i-cry fond of night clubs, Why iicl. drop in on tho local iinlivr- and see if they have any ideas?"

"I will. In the meantime. sir. I should like to get into touch with the Paris police if it were possible."

"why?"

"I'm extremely anxious to find out if John Lcwin - the dead woman's son- was actually in Paris on the night she was murder- ed."

"But the solicitor’ was in tele- phc-nic communication with him] that evening. I understand." “He said he was. Curiously en- Iegugli, he's lost the telephone num- er.

"What was the man's address in Paris?" ‘ “Til-IL too. is uncertain. Ap-

parently he moved about. a good deal. His allowance was sent to an accommodation address in the Rue Blanche. Rolllter. I'm qulrte cer- tain, is anxious for some reason that, we shall not establish contact with his client."

“I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree, Dollimore, but. I'll get in touch with a friend of mine in the Surete. Put in a chit. specify- ing the questions you want answer- ed. I'll certainly send lt on with a covering note to M. Plchon." “Thank you. sl-r."

“Meanwhile have e look round High. st., Kilburn. Lovely scenery, I believe."

And with a smile the Chi-s! dis- missed him.

Ono In A Million

The task of looking for o par- ticular man near High-st. Kililurn is about as hopeful as looking for the proverbial needle. Once in s while a man may walk up to a liayst-ack and see the needle glint- lng in the sun —once in a very long while. The local Inspector grinned pleasantly when Dolllmore announced what, had brought him to Kllburn.

"They're great men at Head Of- fice!" he said. "The Assistant Com- miasloner is evidently under the impression that Kllburn is a sm-zill hamlet. He was on the 'phone just now. The newsagenvs shop is being watched, of course. but Flash Cardew isn't likely to return tiiere " "You know Cardew?"

"By repute —too well. He's been round here before, but we never got hl-m. I wish he'd give some other district a turn." "Are there gny clubs places —about here?" "Yes. The usual kind of thing. We have them under observation as well."

“You know him by sight? Your men do. I mean?"

“Not, exactly. But we have his description."

"What would you suggest 1 do?" Dolllmorc asked with his disarm- ing sml-le. “The Chief item; me down here--you know how 1t is."

The Chief Inspector rwddtfidi "Personally. I should drop in rind see a picture," hc said with his Qxpanslve grin. "You're just as likely to run into the gentle-mun there as anywhere else. and it may ll e good film, anyway."

"Quite," said Doilimore. "l think

East would have been wiser. after having Bivon South a blueprint 0f the Dlfly at six clubs. to "save" at six spades, That latter contract Would have gone diown only 500 points. .

Against six clubs, West opcucd the spade queen and wiituiued witii that suit. forcing dummy to ruff. Dccinrcr siiw zit n gIH-llCC that it would probably be CJblCl‘ and safcr lo establish tluiiiinyg licurls rather than his own tiiamoncis. and to that end he cashed the licart ace and rulrcd a low heart. Now, after due thought. he led a low trump toward dummy and lock a. first-round finesse against the queen. when the jerk held, he ruff- ed another low hc-art with the trump ace, then iinessed for the second time against the trump

queen. ‘Frost key card was drs-wn

by playing the trump king; then

It should be observed that South

could not afford the luxury or iny-

right play. to guard fisailifit B

to be, from East's highly inform-

given up the ace o! trumps. Ob-

would have occurred if South had

"I'm from 80008113 YET‘? he told her. "Inspector Dolllmore. A certain man called here last. nigh! for letters."

"Yes," she said suspiciously "I understand you 5"" him?"

"Yes. He wasn't in the shop more than halt a minute. I-le just askcd if I had any letters for Mr Por- ter: I said I hadn't and he turned 5nd went, It was only alter he had gone that I remembered that the police wanted hIm."
