There was nothing remarkable about the girl. What was remarkable, how- ever, was the effect she had on Loney. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before. He saw not a commonplace, rather awkward young miilliner’s assistant out of work, but his predestined mate. Something welled up in his heart at the sight of her, something as irresistible as a chemical affin- ity. Perhaps she, too, felt something pre- destined in the meeting, or it may have been the fervour of his own emotion. At any rate Susie Barton went walking with Loney. Loney, who ordinarily knew how to keep a secret, poured out his heart to her. He frightened her by confessing all he had been. And he thrilled her by vowing that now that she was his, he would leave the gang and start life again, go straight, bring up a family and “be like other folks.” Susie was caught up by the fervour of his wooing and agreed to cast in her life with his. Even were she minded to draw back, it is certain Loney would not have let her go. “Tl die before I'll let you out of my sight,” he vowed. A Run oF Bap LUCK Meanwhile the bad luck George Cullmer had unwittingly prophesied was materializ- ing. It began with a London “bobby” who used his intelligence even when he was off duty in plain clothes and doing an errand for his wife. She had sent him to a paint shop to buy something. While waiting there for the clerk to serve him he heard a man order twenty gallons of kerosene to be sent to a certain address. It happened to be in a neighbourhood the bobby knew, one of the working class homes. What did a work- ingman’s family want with so much kero- sene? It was only a fleeting thought. But the following day a fire broke out in the house to which the kerosene had been sent. The fact struck the “bobby” as_ interesting enough to report to Scotland Yard. Detec- tive Inspector Dinnie, who, as I have said, was working on the theory that there was an arson gang operating, quietly looked into the matter. He found that the house burned down was insured. He arranged with the insurance company to be the “representative” who handed over the cheque covering the loss by fire, and went to see the man who had taken out the policy. He proved to te the man who had ordered the kerosene. This was a new member of the G. L. F. R. He did not know, of course, when he went For Good Eats, Try ROYAL LUNCH MRS.
