Having accompanied Quinton Quave
to the door, Mackworth returned to his
si.,ing-room and settled himself down
.l 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 4 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 1t 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-
yidual in the HeXton Road was readily
understood, for the latter would natur-
ally avoid encountering policeman.
However, Martyr might possibly have
met OH 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

We yat Martyr, "a man above mid
&c height, and wearing a soft felt hat,
was seen in the Hexton Road that night
within half an hour of the occurrence"
ooh, | saw him. Martyr answered,
opening wide his eyes and mouth.
Mackworth smothered the imprecation
that rose to his lips.
"Where have you seen him?" he asked
eagerly.
"Why, it was such a martial, and
with soft hat--that came running to
ward me as stood at the end Of the
Caxton Avenue, saying that a servant
was calling out police and murder in
the TIeXton Road close by"
What did you do?" asked Mackworth
impatiently.
Il started off for Hexton Road as
quick as | could" replied Martyr. STIR
prised that it should be thought he had
done anything else under the circum-
stances.
And he-and he, what became Of
him. the inspector eagerly inquired.
"Ile came running with me, but soon
outstripped him."
Did you see him again?"
Il don't think So"
Now remember-are you sure you
didn't sec him among the crowd that
afterward entered Mrs. Dumbarton' 5
house"
IF he was there [ should have rec
ognized hin-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?"
"Ycs," the policeman answered, after
few seconds thought, during which
he hercely pulled the struggling hairs of
his light mustache; 81 never saw him
before to my knowledge, and | 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

"Now, think WE'LL said Macllworth
presently, "for on your answer a great

George Bostock left the room, put on
his overcoat and his hat, and, as had
been his custom for some time, Quilted
the house. There was no hesitation in
his movements; he had already decided
on his course, which custom had made
familiar. His step led him to the Hex
ton Road.
Arriving there, he neither sought nor
avoided the house where he was a IA
miliar visitor, but contented himself by
walking up and down in front on the
opposite side Of the road. Now and then
he paused as if to listen; more than once
it seemed as if he would cross the road.
Whenever foot passengers approached he
continued his walk, as ii anxious to
