The plaintiff states ON and prior to

claims that on that date he, with the
consent of Mckinley, left the part

no price was fixed for the sale of

of the firm, and without .reimbursing
Gottschall. The plaintiff says the
debts of the firm were sS7S.6S greater

the night before Arnold Armstrong
was murdered, Jack Bailey had made
an attempt to search for the secret
room. He secured Arnold's key from
his room at the club, and got into
the house, armed with a golf-stick for
sounding the walls. He ran against
the hamper at the head of the stairs,
caught his cufflink in 1t, and dropped
the golfstick with a crash. He was
sla enough to get away without an
alarm being raised INC he took the

The oldest thing to me was that
Mr.. Jameson had known for some time
that Alex was Jack Bailey. But the
face of the pseudo-gardener was very

THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE
BY NARY ROBERTS RINEHART

found the house rented. Not knowing
what to do, she sent for Arnold at the
Greenwood Club, n told him a little,
not all. She told him that there was
something wrong, and hat the. bank
was about to close. That his father
was responsible. OF the conspiracy she
said nothing. 70 her surprise, Arnold
already knew. through Bailey that
night, that things were not right.
Moreover, he suspected what Louise did
not, that the money was bidder at
Sunnyside, He had a scrap of paper
that indicated a concealed room some
where.
His inherited cupidity was aroused.
Eager to get Halsey and Jack Bailey
out of the house, he went up to the
east entry, and in the billiard-room
gave the cashier what he had refused
earlier in the evening-the address Of
Paul Armstrong in California and q
telegram which had beer forwarded to
the club for Bailey, from Doctor
Walker, 1t was in pon to one
Bailey had sent, and it said that Paul
Armstrong was very i'll.
Bailey was almost desperate. He de-
cided to go west and find Paul Arm
strong, and to force him to disgorge.
But the catastrophe at the bank &C.
CURED sooner than he had expected.
On the momen of starting west, at
Andrews Station, where Mr.. Jameson
had located the car, he read that the
bank had closed. and, going back, sur
rendered himself.
John Bailey had known Paul Arm
strong intimately. He did not believe
that the money was gone; in fact, it
was hardly possible in the interval
since the securities had been taken.
Where was it? And from some chance
remark let fall some months earlier by
Anold Armstrong at a dinner, Bailey
felt sure there was a hidden room at
Sunnyside. He tried to see the archi-
tect of the building, but, like the con-
tractor, if he knew of the room, he re-
fused any information. 1t was Halsey's
idea that John Bailey come to the
house as a gardener, and pursue his in
v~estigations as he could. His smooth
upper lip had been sufficient disguise,
with his change of clothes and a hair
cut by a country barber.
So it was Alex, Jack Bailey, who
had been our ghost. Not only had he
alarmed Louise-and himself he ad-
mitted-on the circular" staircase. but
he had dug the hole in the trunkrcSm
wall, and later sent Eliza into hysteria.
The note Liddy had found in Gertrude's
serap-basket was from him, and it
was he who had startled me into un-
consciousness by the clothes chute,
and, with Gertrude's help. had carried
me to Louise's room. Gertrude, |
learned, had watched all night beside
me, in an extremity Of anxiety about
me.
That old Thomas has seen his master
and thought he had seen the Sunnyside
ghost, there could be no doubt. OF
thai story of Thomas's, about seeing
Jack Bailey IN the footpath between
the club and ~Sunnyside the night Liddy
and ] heard the noise on the circular
staircase-that, too. was right. On
