Gertrude said drearily. "Halsey, if the

new %sternness in his voice. Aunt Ray,
it was necessary for Jack and me to

But Gertrude had risen angrily.
Il can not stand it; it is always with

They stared at each other across the
big library table, with young eyes all
at once hard, suspicious. And then
Gertrude held out both hands to him
a~ppealingly.

knew he was going owe the case as he

to him that were dark to me. He knew,
and Gertrude, too, why Jack Bailey and
he had gone away that night, as they
did. He knew where they had been for
the last forty-eight hours, and why
Jack Bailey had not returned with him.

coaxing from both men to get the
Dragon Fly up the last grade. Only
when we a closed the front door and
stood facing each other in the hall, did
Halsey say anything. He slipped his
strong young arm o my shoulders
and turned me so I faced the light.

negligee she had worn earlier in the
evening, and she limped somewhat.
During her slow progress down the
stairs l had time to notice one thing;
Mr.. Jameson had said the woman who

shoe on her right foot. G%ertrude's right
ankle was the one she had sprained!
The meeting between brother and

in there. Only a half-hour before l had
sat with Mr.. Jameson in that very
room, listening while he oyertly accused
both Gertrude inc Halsey of at least
a knowledge of the death of Arnold
Armstrong. Now Halsey was here to
speak for himself; l should learn
everything that had puzzled me.

first time he was saying. 1T knocked
