We'd better go htck TO Podunk."
We'll. at least. Mr.. Lester spoke up
another. You oughtn.t to give Godfrey
a scoop
But didn't give him a scoop.
Didn't you tell him what was in the

Not a word of til told him only
one thing"
And what was that"
That the person who wrote the note
didn't know that Rogers was color

a very tiend of cleverness when 1t
comes to a case of this kind. We're not

You're SURE you didn't tell him any

No. I'm quite sure | didn't tell him

from home-it was probable, even. that
the half sister had written her, asking
her to come-though. in that case, why
had she not remained at home TO re
ceivc her? At any rate Miss Holladay
had awaited her return. had noticed
her agitation; had. erhaps, even seen
certain marks of blood upon her. The
news of her fathers death had pointed
ali too clearly to what that agitation
and those blood-spots meant. She had
remained silent that she might not be
srnirch her fathers name, and also. per
haps. that she might protect the other
woman. / felt that | held in my hand
the key to the whole problem.
Point by point-but what a snarl it

search for the other woman could
not doubt but she had a long start and
! should easily escape. Yet, perhaps she
had not started-she must have re-
NAMED in town, else how could that
note have been sent to us? She had
remained. thell-but why? That she
should feel any affection for Frances
Holiday seemed absurd, and yet how
else explain the note%

spair, l put the matter down from me
