Eighteen was the Book of Job, and the 18th verse of the 37th chapter was: “Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?” And the eighth word was Sky. The first book was Genesis, and the 19th verse of the first chapter ran as follows: “And the evening and morning were the fourth day.” d“Blue sky Thursday!” Bloor exclaim- ed. An hour or so later, we were at the | entrance to the Blue Skies Club. Bloor looked around. Across the street & man was selling matches; another had a bundle of papers under his arm. A taxi driver was seated upon the fyont seat of his vehicle, smoking and reading. A chauffeur, in a small two-seated car, was ficinz him on the other side of the enirance. There was plenty of space between them for any one to take un or set down a passen ger at the club, but their places were 50 arranged that aoy one | passing in or out would be withha their | reach. Bloor beckoned to the newspaper | man, who touched his hat and hurried | across. We selected newspapers, and | all the time Bloor talked. | “You understand, Richards,” he said, “it isn't the people who are coming | into the club you need be interested in; ‘The swing door revolved once more, and Bloor stood by my side. “What's the trouble?” he inquired. “This fellow won't let me in.” “Not you nor your friend neither” the man declared. “Out you go, both of you. I don’t want your card,” he went on, as Bloor produced one, “If you're not out of here in ten seconds Bloor slipped back his coat. “If you don’t wish for my card,” he said, “let me tell you who I am.

The door of the office through which I had passed was opened, and a middle-aged man came hurriedly out. “What's the trouble, inspector?” he asked, “None, T hope,” Bloor answered. *I wish to make a few investigations here.
