Let's go to the scene of the most recent mystery fire, the fifth in the series, that has Chief Cody baffled as he has seldom been in all the long years of his firefighting experience.

As you remember, he had just made a thorough investigation of what remains of the porch roof of the Tupper home to see what clues, if any, may tell him who or what started the fire.

As he climbs down from the roof, he says to Tim and Jim. Oh, it just doesn't add up. No clothes, Chief. Not a suggestion of a clue. They know my experience. I've never run up against anything like it.

But sir, something is causing these fires. They can't just suddenly appear from nowhere. You're right. Every fire has a car. The big problem is to find out what it is. What about this fire bug theory of yours, chief?

Well, it may be, but still it doesn't look right for a fire bug's job. Yes, you mean a fire bug usually leaves his trademark, certain that's right. An arsonist will usually start his fires the same way.
