CMAPTHM THIKTLEN It waa the following day that Meredith got Hailey of the Special Branch on the telephone at hie prteate addreaa. Thua it waa that Sir John Meredith. etirred by hia ay mpa thy for what appeared to be a little dotrootic tragedy, entered upon a eaae which waa to at retch arrow all England and thence to ita origin la a certain Baltic training camp in north Germany. ea e e At eleven-thirty. Monday morning. Meredith drove tua ear under the towering arch which croaaea the river aide of New Scotland Yard He waved hi* band to the cor (table on duty in the courtyard who tainted him. and paaaed through the little courtyard to th* headquarter* of the G 1. Il Special Branch. A few minute* later M-redith wa* being ehown Into the office of Chief Inspector Hailey of the Special Branch. “Hello. Meredith." exclaimed th* big man, n*mg from hi* chair and extending hia hand. “It'a good to aee you." “Likewise." irniled John. "Got a job for us?” suggested th* ihiaf inspector. Meredith shook hl* head. "No." he said. “But I thought you might be able to give me a little inform*. Man." “You have but to ask," nodded Hailey. “That’s what we’re here Cor " “I want to know a little bit about the B< lahiem“ “Bolshie*?" echoed th* other. "Bolshie*." nodded Meredkh. Chief inspector Hailey appeared to think deeply fore moment; then le looked up wide-eyed and said. •Never beard of them." Meredith looked at him very *oltmniy before declaring. "1 always taid you'd make a detective one lay" “You're very kind." replied th* nan reputed to know more about lUbversive activities in England .han any other detective, govern- ' ■ent agent, or foreign spy. < “Fact of th* matter la. old man." ■aid Hailey, accepting a cigarette 'rom Meredith s case. "Fact is, Bolshies are rather a tender subject i with u* at the ntoment. There'* < tomething odd going on.” < “That is interesting." was Mere- ; iith’s comment. "Now I want Co I inow something about a Jolly little j ■oop of comrades calling themselves i '.he Fellowship of th* New Day." Hailey grinned. “O. K.. but look i l*re. Meredith, why are you inter- I sated?” I “I'm not particularly,* replied lohn. his eyes just aa wide and inno- 1 rent aa the other's. They both laughed and It was the i Cpeeial Branch man who took up 1 die conversation. “D'you know any- ( .bing we ought to know?" Meredith grinned. “Not ; •. but < Cd like u> start with tins Fellowship group " Hailey shook his head. If you want to know anything about the i Sew Day movement, Blcwitt is your nan." i “He's th* tallow with the on* eye. • an’t he?" I “That's th* bird. Waa b« here In i your time?" "Just," said Meredith. "He struck i -ne as a Hkelv sort of cove at that. < Where's his offie*?” I "Hcyl You can't go barging In like that.’ "Hailey." exclaimed Meredith r*- | proachfully. "I'm hurt. Have you j forgotten me a* soon?" The other shrugged "All right." i he said “But don't forget you I haven't seen m» this morning " "Right you are. So long. ol‘ i Soekl“ Thus Sir John Meredith removed himself from the othc* of I Chief Inspector Hailey Detective-Sergeant Henry Blew ttt was that rale case ta the Metro- i poiitaa Folwe. a man with an actual < phy-sca! disability wbe still re- < mained In th* fore*. Hi* disability had ceased to b* such as far a* hi* I work was eoncerrod because when i be removed iu* glass eye. be looked i so entirely different as to be almost unrreogniiabls. Th* addition- i al removal of a magniftcent act es {*)«• teeth turned him into euch a pictur* of impoveriarod misery that his own mother would have disowned hum i

Meredith accepted the chatr ta which the other gestured and went < on untruthfully. “The Commission- i er sent me down to see you. raid i you are the only one man In aU London who oouid give aw the important information I urgently require." Detective Sergeant Blewitt looked extraordinarily please! “Did tire Ol' Man .. did Sir Charles really i nay that, air?" Those were his very wordv," i fibbed Meredith. Sergeant Blewitt coughed delL cately behind a ham-like hand, i “Very kind of the ol‘ . . . of Sir i Charles. Very kind. I'm sure. Well. Sir John, and what is it you want to know?" Meredith mentioned abruptly. I “The Fellowehtp of the Mew Day." “Ah." aspirated Sergeant Blew- i itt, just that and no more. I Meredith studied him for a few momenta, then aaid bantenngly. “Am I U> take it that the one man In all London who might know < something about them doea not?" < The other shook hie head. "Nat i exactly, air. But. to be truthful. I don’t really know a lot about them " “Well, how much do you know?" "They're a fairly recent lot." re- I piled Blewitt. "And they're what you might describe as exclusive." “Excleaiw Bolsheviks?" commented Meredith. “That sounds a bit of a paradox, doesn't it?" “True, all the same I know bacause I've tried to join them Though I'm a member of the Little Brotherhood of Lenin the Marx < .Munich Club the Communist Asvernation of Great BrHain and ant actually •<* rotary to a Soviet Socioty of Service they still don't think me eligible for the Fellow•hip of the New Day 'Nether thing, they don t seem to have any affiliation with auy other clubs and even Comrade Levinsky, who's running it. is not a member of the Communist Party in this country " “That’s odd. tao't it?" suggested Jahn. “Tee. it ia." nodded the ether. “They're a close-mouthed lot . . . that Fellowship.

Sergaaad Btewttt looked rather embarraaaed and Meredith grinned at him. "Have yon forgotten what my reputation was here?" be asked. Then said. "Did you ever know a little pickpocket called B«n Eck? They called him Snooper Eck; at one time he was working with Long-Arm Jim ..." He broke off and snapped his fingers . . . "Why. of course. Sir John, you rememln-r Long-Arm Jim. the chap you came across when you were handling the Red Rope murders Well. Long Arm, beUeve it or not, is going straight but Snooper couldn't stand it and be's gone back to his old routine. Well, Bradford got something on Snooper and we sort of made a deal with him and he lifted these papers for me off Comrade Levinsky when he was leaving the meeting-place of his Red fellowship. "It's queer the jobs and so on the New Dawn organisers won’t have. Practically all the retail trades are out. so are builders' laborers, paintera. and decorators. No agricultural worker ean be a member. Their members have got to be factory hands or printers or in the transport services and so on. Workers in electricity can be m< mbars ” he added as an afterthought "Factory workers, transport services, printers and electricians." repeated Meredith “Vo-ry queer. Where's their headquarters?" "Down in Paradise Vale " "Thanksl" ealit Meredith. Re rose to go. and remarked. “By the way. of' man. I shouldn't mention our chat to the Commissioner if I were you." Blewitt looked blank and Sir John went on. "You see be doesn't really know I’m here." "Ducka, turtles and little fishes!" exclaimed Sergeant Blewitt. “You're bloody right. Sir John, I won't." Left alone In hia office. Sergeant Blewitt thought furiously. "Blimey!" he mumbled. “Then the 01' Man didn't aay those line things about me.'” (To be continued) Cbwh<im a* Fmmm Wr««4; PMUkfctMrt w Imm tNIIMK IM
