An Ohio farmer had "hired man." a
steady, phlegnatic worker, who was al
ways on time and had not missed day
in more than a year. One morning he
appeared in his Sunday clothes and an
nounced that he had ito go bel his wife's
funeral" The following day he appeared
as usual and went about his work in his
careful methodical manner. Less than 4
fortnight later he again came before his
employer in his black suit and asked for
day off
'.Jaloe, hate to refuse you, but you
know we are pretty busy now. Wouldn't
it do just as we'll next week."
''Aber 1 denLe NIGHT" said Jake; ''fnay

Having accompanied Quinton Quave
to the door, Mackworth returned to his
sitting-room and settled himself down
10 think over what he had just heard.
The information volunteered by his visi-
tor seemed to the inspector to favor the
supposition he already entertained. 1t
was reasonable to think that the man
who, wearing a wide-leafed soft hat,
the better to conceal his identity, had
stood watching Mrs. Dumbarton's house
on the night of, and but a short time
before the tragedy, was responsible for
the crime; nor was it unreasonable to
suspect that this man was the same who
had visited Mrs. Dumbarton two hours
before. But supposition was one thing
and proof another, and to verify his con-
lecture became Mackworth's desire.
That Martyr had not seen this indi-
vidual in the Hexton Road was readily
understood, for the latter would natur-
ally avoid encountering a policeman.
However, Martyr might possibly have
met on his rounds in the neighborhood
such man as the Inspector could now
describe, and it was, therefore, his first
care to question the constable once more
on the subject.
"And you are quite sure" said the lat
er, you saw no one lettering about Hex
ton Road on the night of the murder?"
Certain" Martyr replied stolidly.
"You didn't meet there or in the dis
trict any one whom you might suspect
Free press., 1906-09-29

of being concerned in this business?"
No one" the policeman answered.
"And yet" he remarked, looking
shrewdly at Martyr, "a man above mid
die height, and wearing a soft felt hat,
was seen in the Hexton Road that night
within half an hour of the occurrence" b"
"Oh, / saw him." Martyr answered,
opening wide his eyes and mouth.
Mackworth snlotiiered the imprecation
that rose to his lips.
"Where have you seen him?" he asked
eagerly.
"Why, it was such a man-tall, and
with soft hat-that came running to-
ward me as l stood at the end of the
Caxton Avenue, saying that servant
was calling out police and murder in
the HLexton Road close by
What did you dor" asked Mackworth
impatiently.
'I started off for Hexton Road as
quick as l could" replied Martyr, : e.,
prised that it should be thought he Ia.
done anything else under the circum-
stances.
"And he-and he, what became of
him - the inspector eagerly inquired.
He, came running with me, but soon
outstripped him."
OlQ you see MIN AGAIN!
81 don't think So"
Now remember-are you sure you
didn't sec him among the crowd that
afterward entered Mrs. Dumbarton' S
house?"
IF he was there 1 should have rec
ognized him-no, he wasn't among
them
The Inspector frowned and said:
do you mean to say that the first
and last time you saw him was when
he came running to tell you some one
was calling out murder?"
YES" the policeman answered, after
4 few seconds thought, during which
he fercely pulled the struggling hairs OF
his light mustache; Il never saw him
before to my knowledge, and 1 haven't
set eyes on him since"
From what direction did he come to
you"
From the Hexton Road"
How far were you from it at the
timer"
about three hundred yards"
Nov, think we'll" said Macl1worth
presently, "for on your answer a great
deal may depend. Did you see this man:
