What apparently the Volee did not know was that the peer has a house In Paris, and that he would be most unlikely to apologise for not phoning himself, and that the easiest way to send money quickly so short a dis- tance would be by messenger 'from the office.

SCARED OFF

The secretary rang up the peer's London home. Yes, they had had a call and had referred them to the business address.

Then he got through to the local jexchange supervisor. He was as- feured that none but London calls had

Next call was "Whitehall 1212," and a man from the Yard was in the
