"I'm absolutely wttia, sergeant," she said em- Mrtcally. "Mind you, I didn't wake up out of a sound sleep a l do sometimes. I didn't im 'Iffie this.

Cilly felt them on her and she looked up suddenly, her face a mask of cold anger. A sneer twisted Corbett's lips and he shifted his eyes quickly. The clock on the wall ticked off the seconds with nerve-wracking regularity, marking the swift, un controllable flight of time on the road to eternity. Like the cease less chant of a jungle tom-tom, it hypnotized the eardrums, and each beat grew louder and more intense until one longed to silence it with a shriek. - Aces passed, though the clock ticked off only three short min utes, until Detective Martin re turned, a copy of the paper in his hand, Dolan seized it quickly. hand. Dolan seized it quickly. There on the first page was an other of the pictures taken yes terday; Cilly noticed that it was larger than the one which she had seen in her paper. She held her breath, awaiting Mrs. Downey's revelation. "Now, Mrs. Downey, will you point the man out to me?" Dolan asked. Without hesitation, the woman walked to the desk and glanced briefly at the picture over Dolan's shoulder. "There he Is," she an nounced immediately, pointing to a face in the picture. "This one?" Dolan indicated with the point of his pencil. "That's the one." She nodded her head positively. 'Harvey Ames." Dolan spoke the name uncertainly. For a mo ment he stared at it fixedly; then, with his pencil, he drew a circle around the face. (To Be Continued) By HAROLD GRAY I Shower Party Is Event For Coburg COBURG, Oct. 12.

Here is one of the most magnifi cent natural harbors in the world and therefore a prime factor in defense. A floating dock was installed in 1925 capable of lifting the largest ships in the British fleet. An air drome has been built at Hal Far. tuitable for main line airways. An air force likewise has been estab lished here. During the World War, the islands were of ines timable value. In 1921, by Letters of Patent, Malta emerged from the status of crown colony to that of a quasi dominion status. This form of self-g 0 v e r n ment allows control of local affairs.
