lodger In It, The naive simplicity of this
novice in crime almost made the detec-
tive swear to his innocence on the spot.
"Confound it!' said Gebb, disconnected
by this, "the man has gone about the
pawning so openly that really believe he
is guiltless OF the crime. Either that or
he's a born fool. although even that is
doubtful Miss Wedderburn is not the sort
OF woman to love an idiot, although she
does protect one. Seems to me rs I'm

wouldn't have bungled the murder as
Ferris has done"
With the doubtful tribute OF admira-
tion. Gebb calmly proceeded TO turn over
the papers on the writing table and ex-
anime the drawers. But he could find
no letters from Edith amongst the loose
papers, and the drawers proved to be
locked, which showed that Ferris was
more cautious man than his conduct In
pawning the necklace indicated. How far
Gebb would have proceeded with his
search or how successful he would have
been IL is hard to say; for just as he was
casting his eyes towards a bureau which,
he thought, might contain papers likely
TO illuminate Ferris and his dark ways
the door opened and the man himself en-
tered with a brisk step. He appeared
agitated and rather pale, but on the
whole composed and businesslike.
For a moment or so he did not speak
but looked at Gebb with no very friend
Iy expression of countenance. On his
side the detective scrutinized the face or
the newcomer with close attention, TO see
I'm what degree he corresponded 10 the
description OF Prain and Martin. He be-
held a tall and slender man. wi... an in
telligent expression and brilliant black
eyes. On his short upper lip there was
a small pointed moustache. which gave
him n rather military appearance. and
on his right cheek purple mark, the
size OF n sixpence. but which-his skin
being so dark did not show very con-
spicuously. He was dressed GSsetly and
In good style. and to all appearances was
a man who respected himself too much TO
indulge I'm the profligacy with which he
was credited by Prain. Gebb was rather
favorably impressed by him than other
wise. and could not help regretting his
errend.
