A cat then? Usually if you disturbed a cat, it ran off and jumped, and you heard or noticed something else. By doing a lot of night work, you learned to notice these things, but now all riders noticed was the silence which had followed the rustling sound. So he acted cautiously. He did not flash his torch about the houses near the comer but walked on, and, a little way from the spot where he had heard the sound, stopped and bent his head, as if he was lighting a cigarette. A policeman who stopped to light a cigarette seemed the most unsuspicious policeman in the world.

There was still no sound. There were bushes in the garden of the house where Rider had first heard it and he knew that a man could hide there out of sight. But if he went back, it would ware any such man. So instead he stood and shone his torch at the window nearest him, and as if he had noticed something unusual, he walked towards it and opened the wooden gate, which made no sound at all. He reached the entrance and shone the torch on the keyhole of the front door and as he did so, the rustle came again, this time much more softly. He looked round quickly.

　　　　   D. He was being careless in carrying on these duties.

　　  2. When he heard the rustling sound, he

　　　　   A. thought that it was probably caused by some animal

　　 B. knew that he had disturbed a cat

　　　　   C. thought that it was caused by the wind

　　　　   D. realized that he had turned a comer

　　  3. As he then heard no more sounds, Rider decided

　　　　   A. that he had been mistaken, and walked on

　　　　   B. that he might as well have a cigarette

　　　　   C. to flash his lamp on a window near the comer

　　　　  D. not to show that he had noticed anything
