Night Officer John Gordon;was con- siderably interested during the early tours of Thursday momning to deter- mine why a touring car, with lights out, had been station all night. and thersupon started the plot in what proved to be about a four-reel mystery. Chiet Pilling gave directions that the car be taken to a local garage, desig- nating a particular ome. Some time after the first information about the car Chief Pilling received a call from a prominent citizen stating ‘that his automobile had been stolen: from his garage during the night, thfis feature being considered as the second Teel of the drama. / The car owner discovered the theft when he went out to get the machine to go to business. He did not delay reporting the matter, but after think- ing a minute he recalled that he had driven the car uptown the night be- fore and had left it at the station, ab- sent-mindedly going home without it. “This he didn’t Teport to the police, but went up and got the car. After a time, (fourthr reel stufl) Chief Piling came down town-to lpok up the reported strange car and the cne reported stolen. He found no car at the station, so went to the garage ‘where he ordered it sent. The garage car nor did they kmow am about it. With all of this Sherlock -Holmes mixup making Mim dizzy, Chief Pilling was at = loss to fathom the tangle of facts for a time, but word that slipped around later ‘made the whole thing' tlear and very much of a joke, which, at the outset, no one intended to per- petrate. ‘The whole sequence: of ‘happenings may not have occurred:exactly as here tecorded, but they are set down in ac- cordance with an-idea that outlines the general plan of thesgreatsmorning drama.
