house! He can see the form of the roof in the darkness.
3. Ten minutes later he is outside the house. He stops I and listens. «Strange», he thinks. «I can't hear any-
thing, not I even a radio or a television, but there must be someone in there. There is a light on!» Just at that

«This is probably the only house around for miles! The police know I'm probably around here somewhere
and if they are anywhere, they're in that house, waiting for me».

His name and address was on the wheel
Hugh Boggs was worried all day. In the morning he received a letter from the police. They asked him to
call at the station. Hugh couldn't understand why the police wanted him. He didn't do anything wrong. It was
perhaps a mistake.
At the police station a policeman told him that his bicycle had been found. It was picked up in the hills in
Wales about a hundred miles away. His name and address were written on the wheel.
The bicycle was sent to his home by train. Hugh was very much surprised when he heard the news. He was
amused, too, because it was his old broken bicycle he had left behind last summer when returning to town after
his holidays. Now when he receives his bike, he will have to think how to get rid of it again.
