CHAPTER V.

Mayor Roundtree lived in a large
two-storied brick house standing back
a hundred yards from the street, in eN-
tensiVe grounds. 1t was in the suburbs
of the city, and at the end of one of the
electric car lines.
When the mayor went home that
afternoon, about six o'clock, he found
his family sitting on the front veranda
waiting for his return. The group con-
sisted of his son Marion, young man
just of age, his married daughter,
Lillian, her husband, Fred Walters, and
Mrs. Roundtree.
Talking about the murder, l know"
said the mayor, as he came up the
steps

tree replied. ''If had been downtown

The murderer is evidently Of unsound

Liliap. 'She hasn't talked of a thing

"Pshaw! that's all nonsense" ex-
claimed the mayor, taking the seat va
Gated for him by his son, who had
thrown himself into a hapmock. "Be-
sides, the reward may be the means of
putting the man under lock and key"
81 wish it had been the duty of some
one else to offer it" replied Mrs Round
tree, plaintively. ''Why, dear, he was
near enough to have killed you when he
put that note into your pocket"
''He is not that sort of criminal" said
Lillian, to the surprise of the others.

Strong's face. Dr. Kramer saw the
body. and he said this afternoon tina t he
had never heard of anyone being killed
with Just such a facial expression. It
is my opinion that you'll have to go
deep into psychical phenomena to get
al the mystery
"Hush, Lillian; don't like to hear you
talk that way" said Mrs. Roundtree.

the books you read"
"You object to my reading anything
which is really new and progressive" !"
said the young wife, pettishly. 'The
world would stand still if we did not
study the new scicnces-if we did not
allow ourselves to think on new lines"

Marion, ''that you have talked more
