In a moment, 1f he wasn't very careful, he would lose it_ in that cluster 0 reeds awa on his r t. The artful little devi was hea ing that way, he was sure. But he'd show him. He reeled in slightly and almcst lmmedlamly the fish began to chow fight and Ash realized mat the bat- tle had begun in earnest.

The fish jumped. He saw the bril- liant silver gleam of it as it leapt. It, reminded him very much 0i B. mlusive salmon he had once refill 1n the Tay. This one appeared quite as large as the salmon, And yet that couldn't be. ’1he fi h. after heading for the reads suddenly changed cir- ecjon and before Ask knew what was llappcnin the reel on his rod spun disconcer ingly as the line ran

As ignored the implied rebuke to his sense oi tidlness and flung open the door of the wardrobe irrit- anly. He was still thinking about that trout and how clo.e he had been to landing it. Even if it had onl been e, dream, it was infinitely bet r than this-mauled out oi’ his bed at this hour up to Icverttn Grange looking for a diamond. Wlly did people persist in keeping valu- able iewels at home? The question had won-led him more than once. The king didn't keen the Crown Jewels at Buckingham Palace or at Balmoral Castle. He wfls sénsible and had them locked away in the Tower 0f London. Ash considered that everyone else should be com- pelled by law to do likewise. 1t would save no end o1’ trouble.

“SMALL HOURS” INTERVIEW.

Irlspector Sumpter was waltin with well-concealed impatience a the police station at Merryton when Ash drove up in his car. He could ace at a glance that the Suoerinfi tendent was not in the most agree- able of tempers.
