Really I don't know. I presume it is. May
ask the purpose of this questioning?"
The Thinking Machine continued to squint at her
for half minute. Hatch uncomfortable, half
resentful even at the sharp, cold tone of his
panion. "On the night of the ball the scientist
went on, passing the question, Mr. Dudley cut his
left arm just above the wrist. 1t was only slight
wound. piece of court plaster was put on it.. Do
you know if he put it on himself? If not who did,"
Il put it on" replied Mrs Dudley unhesitatingly.
And whose court plaster was it."
Mine-some had in my dressing room? Why?"
The scientist rose and paced across the floor,
glancing out the hall door, Mrs. Dudley
looked at Hatch inquringy and was about to speak,
when The Thinking Machine stopped beside her and
placed his slim fingers her wrist. She did not
resent the action; only curious, if one might
judge from her eyes.
Are you prepared for shock?" the scientist
asked.
What is it," she demanded in sudden terror.
"Ths suspense"
Your husband is dead-nurdered-
said the scientist with deliberate brutality. His
fingers still lay on her pulse. The court plaster
which you put on his and which came from your
room covered with virucnt poison which
instantly transfused into his blood
Mrs. Dudley did not start scream. Instead
she stared up at The Thinking Machine moment,
her face became pallid, little shiver passed
her, and then she fell back the couch in dead
faint.

The reporter did When he turned back his
companion was leaning over the unconscious woman.
After moment he left her and went to a window,
where he stood looking out. AS Hatch watched he
saw the color coming back into Mrs Dudley's face.
At last she opened her eyes,

directed calmly. Il know you had nothing what
ever to do with your husband death. want only
a little assistance to find out who killed him.
"Oh, my God!" exclaimed Mrs. Dudley. Dead"
Suddenly tears leaped from her eyes, and for sew
era minutes the two men respected her grief. When
at last she raised her face her eyes red but
there was a rigid expression about the mouth

asked The Thinking Machine irrclevantly-" that

Yes" replied Mrs. Dudley.

mo, honorable lady,
'Will you find out please? Go yourself and see"
Osaka bowed low and left the room, closing the
door gently behind him. The Thinking Machine
again crossed to the window and sat down, staring
out into the night. Mrs. Dudley asked questions,
of them, and he answered them in order until
she knew the details of the finding of her husbands
body-that is, the details the public knew. She
was interrupted by the temperance of Osaka.

enlist looked at it together; it was unmistakably

"You can do nothing yourself" said The Think

They passed out and the
door closed behind them.
Hatch started down the
steps; but The Thinking

door and tramped up and
down. The reporter had
turned back in astonish-
ment. In the dim re-

saw him lean forward,

minutes an mpalpabe shadow came toward them
through the night. The scientist peered out as it
came up.

turned to the Japanese
