Silence had fallen upon the group.
Clancy fidgeted at the enforced mac
tivity. Finally he arose and stepped
to the door to give some instructions
to his waiting men, The moment he
was gone Clarke leaned across to Har-
camp. seated upon the other side of
me. and whispered:
mo. l think you are making a mis-
take. Mr.. Harcamp. There is much to
this case which you do not suspect"
Great God, man, what do you
known said Harcamp. in an agonized
whisper. going white to the hair. and
the terror of death in his eyes.
Everything and nothing" returned
Clarke softly.
"Oh. if I could only see ray of
hope" groaned Harcamp. Tell me
what you know
Not now: Clancy is coming back
Come to my rooms at 10 tomorrow. Here
is the address. You will be watched.
Evade the police. if possible"
Collins had been relieved by two
men from his office, and there being
nothing else to be done, we left and
Harcamp went with us. A crowd Of
morbid curiosity seekers still lined the
sidewalk and as we separated from
Harcamp a man edged out of the line
and fell into step in his shadow.
Fly cop, suggested Collins.
1t needed no second glance to show
that he was right. and Clancy was en-
ergetic according to his light
well, well, it's Fogarty now" ex-
claimed Clarke when, after a few hours
sleep. we were eagerly scanning the
morning extras over a haSty breakfast
in our room.
There it was. displayed with all the
art of the head writer: "Wil Impli-
Gates Butler"
The instrument discovered among
Drexlau's papers by the energetic Clan
cy bequeathed $4,000 to Thomas Fogar-
ty, provided that at the date of the
testator's death the said Fogarty had
served the testator faithfully for the
term of twenty-five years or more
By Fogarty's own admission the limit
of time had expired but the week pre-
vious.
Hum" muttered Clarke; ct was sure
of IT." Then he read: by close cross
questioning Inspector Clancy wrung
from Fogarty the unwilling admission
that he had returned to the lower part
of the house some time before Mr.
Drexlau's body was found An arrest
is hourly expected"
AS If in answer to Clarke's voice
street was heard.
"Wuxtry, wuxtry! Arrest In big
murder case,"
Clarke hailed him from the window
Yes. it's the butler he said as he
spread the damp sheet out before us.
Surely the police have no case
against him.
Stronger than you think Even
Clancy does not realize how strong it
is. So strong that 1 believe if it were
not for two things they could hang
him."
Then what two things are to pre-
vent them?"
First. the opening of the door heard
by Fogarty."
But you can count that as a weak
story"
Not if it is borne out by other evil
dence"
And second?"
Second. the disappearance of the
blue Bokhara."

have got to discover. ! have learned
something, but 1 have not the master
key yet. While you and Collins were
in the conservatory I made tour of
the house. I also had a talk with Fo-

Mr.. Drexlau then discovered Fogarty,
upbraided him, and doubtless threat

not the sweetest just then. 1t meant
$40, 900 to Fogarty. There is nothing to
