among the many of all kinds at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition IN St
Louis is that Of the Winchester Re
peating Arms Company, of New iia-
ven, Conn, manufacturers of repeating
rifles and shotguns and all kinds OF
ammunition. The exhibit was in readi-
ness and was opened on the first day
OF the fair. a fac that clearly Illus
trates the enterprise and up-to-iate
methods Of the company behind 1t. II
is the aim of the Winchester Repeat
ing Arms Company to show at their
exhibit the high development which,
they have reached in the making OF
guns and ammunition, and II needs
only to see the exhibit to realize how

has come. There can be seen the new

AN UNEXPECTED RETURN.
The preliminary inquest held by the
c%oroner's court on the body OF Richard
Goffe In no way helped TO dispel the
mystery surrounding his death. For
as yet the post-mortem examination
had not been concluded, and a principal
witness. In the person OF Dunstan Bur
bage, was not in attendance.
His continued absence detpened the
suspicion that had already crept round
and darkened his reputation in the
public eyes, since it became known that
he had been seen to leave the de-
Ceased's bedroom q considerable time
after the latter had retired. But to
Lady Bysshe, to Edith, n the count,
he was above and beyond all doubt,
and no hint Of his supposed guilt wGs
tolerated by them, no fear Of 1t OPP
pressed their minds.
For all that. Lady Bysshe and her
niece were in q state of ervou anx-
iety regarding him, which increased
every day hat passed n failed to
bring ttdings, Of aim.
"Ah. my dear, what a comfort YOU
are to me-" Lady Bysshe replied.
Then after a moments pause she
continued: 81 suppose that when |
am to give evidence, l shall have to
tell them why he left us so abruptly
II !S UellSI W tSll lllG Il utH'
but the publicity" Lady Bysshe
suggested.
1T cannot be helped, auntie, dear
the girl said quietly.
If Max shared the belief of his family
In the innocence Of the missing man
he gave no expression to his opinions.
Why don't the fellow turn up?' he
said to Foundes, referring to Dunstan
Burbage. Whats the use of his keep
ing away? He's sure to be racked.
and then
Then, sir, We'll hear what he has
to say" answered the inspector.
Whilst the search was being made
for Dunstan, Foundes remained quiet
Ily at the hall, examining, measuring,
making notes, inquiring, and entering
into conversation with all who would
speak to him. A great deal Of his time
was spent In the buffers private room;
for that Individual, having spent long
years in the family, had much gossip
( concerning them to relate In a friendly,
informal way to an interested listener
The vnlet Is one of the FUNNIEST
looking chaps I've ever seem" Foundes
remarked.
"Ahem! yes, he's odd, very odd the
butler answered.
Not attractive, I grant YOU" said
the inspector with q sarcastic smile.
I'VE don't see much of him. The
butler replied e~vasiVely.
There's some good in him, bad as
he looks" said Foundes.
Many a good book has a dingy COW
err" replied the butler.
He saved the count?"
No. BY tearing his bed clothes
knotting them together, and tying
them to the bars Of a window at The
back OF the house, the count, who was
not then blind, managed to escape with

CHAPTER VI.
THE INQUEST

The adjourned inquest was awaited
with eager impotence, not only by all
those whom it most concerned, but also
by the public at large. MIR. justin
NARROW attended on behalf of the
treasury, which had become impressed
bv the gravity Of the case through the
REPRESENTATIONS of New Scotland Yard,
while a lawyer from the country town
had been hurriedly summoned by Lady
Bysshe in the interests OF Dunstall
Burbage. 1t was understood that Max
was also represented by a solicitor.
The inquiry was held in the library.
Al the head Of the long table sat the
coroner. The jurors, whose faces eX-
pressed an air Of comfortable stupidity,
sat at either side; q row Of chairs was
given to the press men.
The first evidence given dealt with
the manner in which Richard Goffe
had met death. Three doctors, includ-
| ing a London physician. had made the
most mortem examination, and decided
that death was due TO an injection OF a
deadly drug known as Atropa Mandra
CORA. In their opinion there was moth
Ing to show that it had been seif-ad-
1ninistered. The injection could have
heen administered without waking, or
at least disturbing the deceased from a
! sound sleep, and it's effects would have
heen gradual. The murder could have
| heen committed without causing the
slightest struggle or disturbance.
The evidence, previously given, of
the who were first to see the
dead man, was read over, after which
Inspector FounGes told that he had eX-
amined the room occupied by the de-
ceased, together With his belongings,
but had been unable TO discover any
clew regarding the perpetrtor of the
crime. Neither had he found any money
or papers Of any consequence, though
his watch and chain remained. He had
also searched Mr.. Burbage's room, but
had merely found the ashes of some
burnt papers in the CRATE. together
with the piece of signed paper he pro-
duced, and on which there was no writ
ing.
The next witness called was the
count, whose grave and digniied ap-
pearance impressed the jury as much
as his af1iiction appealed to their sym
pathy.
Mr.. Justice NARROW, who examined
him, shared in these feelings. and ques-
toned him as briefly as possible. The
story Of his coming to the smoking
room about l o'clock in the morning
and finding the young men card playing
was told in a few words. When the
party broke up he went to bed, but al.
though his room was in the same cor.
ridor as that Of the deceased. he haC
heard no noise of any kind.

was the only servant to whom I7oundes
had spoken, and he instantly set about
questioning him.

In q confidential tone, as he looked
toward the window of he room where
the dead man lay.
The dwarf-ltke creature conten%@d
hlnlself with giving the inspector an
ihscrutable glance and nodding his
great head.
Did you happen to hear anything

senses alert.

under his peaked heavy brows another

A few minutes later and the butler
took a message to Lady Bysshe, asking
II she would see Inspector Foundes. She
had a horror Of detectives, whom she
had always associated with tragedies,
n to whom she attributed powers OF
penetration that were almost super
natural. Believing, however. that it
was n OF the disagreeable duties
which this sad occurrence involved
