BLOOD ON TIE GRASS.

The inquiries which followed elicit
ed one or two new facts. First. that
all the doors of the house were found
unlocked, and. secondly, that the con-
stable had been among the first to
come In, SO that he could vouch that
no disarrangement had been made in
the rooms with the exception of
Batsy's removal to the bed.
Then, his attention being drawn to
the dead woman, he discovered the
key in her tightly closed hand.
Where does this key belongw he
asked.
They showed him the drawers in the
cupboard.

IF the other is found to be in the
same condition, then her money has
been taken. That key she holds should
open both these drawers"
'Then let it be made use of at once.
1t is Important that we should know
whether theft has been committed here
us well as murder" And drawing the
key out he handed 1t to Mr.. Fenton.

the drawer and brought it and its con-
tents to the table.

Mr.. Sutherland meantime was look

the now empty drawer.
"Just as feared" said he. "She

"How came she by the key. then"
"That is one of the mysteries of the
affair. This murder is by no means

that she was found dead too"

came to know that Agatha Webb had
money in her house." said MFR. Suther-
land as they stepped back into the 9TH
er room. Two days ago was sitting
with my family at dinner. Old gossip
Judy came in. Had Mrs. Sutherland

been living she would not have pre-
sumed to intrude upon us at mealtime,
but as we have no one now to uphold
our dignity this woman rushed into our
presence painting with news and told
us all in one breath how she had just
come from Mrs. Webb, who had pile
of money In her house; that she had
just seen it with her own eyes; that go
ing up stairs, as usual, without knock
ing, she had seen Mrs. Webb through
the crack of the sitting room door
walking toward the fireplace cupboard
with huge roll of bills In her hand;
that listening she heard her say: Just
fifteen hundred! Too much money by
far to have in the house, After which
she heard first one lock turned and
then another, and, satisfied that the
money had been put into some recepta-
Gle III the cupboard, she crept out as
quietly as she had come in and ran
away to tell the nelghbors. Happily
was the first one she told, but Ishave
no doubt that In spite Of all my injunc-
\ tons she has related the news to every
one who would listen"
"Was the young woman I see down
yonder at the table with you when
\ Judy told this story?" asked the coro-
ner, pointing toward the yard.
Mr.. Sutherland pondered. "No; do
| not think she was. Frederick was seat
\ ed at the table with me, and my house.
l keeper was pouring the tea, but Miss
Page had not yet come down, think.
\ She has been putting on great airs Of
\ late"
| Can 1t be possible that he does not
1 know that his son Frederick wants to
marry this girl?" muttered the clergy
man into the constable's ear.
The constable shook his head. Mr..
Sutherland was one of those debonair
men whose very mildness makes them
impenetrable.
The coroner on leaving the house was
| followed by Mr.. Sutherland. AS the
fine figures of the two men appeared
on the doorstep faint cheer was
heard from the two or three favored
persons who were allowed to look
through the gate. But to this token of
welcome neither gentleman responded
by SO much as n look, all their atten-
| tion being engrossed by the sight Of the
solitary figure of Miss Page. who still
held her stand upon the lawn. Motion
less as statue, but with her eyes fixed
upon their faces, she awaited their ap-
proach. When they were near her, she
thrust one hand from under her cloak
and, pointing to the grass at her feet,
said quietly:
"See this?'
\ They FASTENED toward her and bent
down to examine the spot she indi-
