CHAPTER xXXViII.
All He Had Schemed For.

Startled beyond telling, Detmold
this unexpected revelation had been
waiting for him beyond the masked
window.
The blind which the intruder had
held aside as he passed through from
the balcony fell stiffly back into place
with a sudden rattle, shutting out the
shaft of sunlight that for a moment
had struck in, to fall slantingly across
the figure lying there in the bed with
closed eyes and a white, lifeless face
that might have been cut in marble.
Ralph Strangways!" the detective
whispered to himself, almost incred-
ulously, as he paused on the thresh-
hold of the window just within the
room with riveted gaze. Beyond
doubt it was Pride o. Lies owner
who lay there.
Then Detmold made quick step for.
ward and touched the lifeless form.
THE mere touch was enough to con-
vince him that Ralph Strangways had
been dead many hours. And
yet, less than half an hour ago, he had
stood on the lawn out there in the
sunlight beyond the drawn blind
among a crowd that cheered with wild
enthusiasm Pride O. Lies victory in
the race just run. He had vivid
mental vision of the elderly man in
the old-fashioned dress bowling ac-
acknowledgement of the ovation, and all
the time behind the Tapping blind in
this upper room THIS figure must have
been lying here. stiffly outlined under
the white sheet What did it all
mean
In flash the realization of the truth
had swept over Detmold, and he
caught his breath sharply, and a little
grim smile f1ickered about his mouth.
He understood everything, how he had
been tricked before.
He pulled himself up suddenly out
of his thoughts; the faint sound of
voices had reached him as he stood
there, voices coming towards the
house-the doctors voice and that of
a woman.
Cautiously Detmold drew aside the
blind and peeped out; the last thing
he desired was to be caught trespass.

terly unwarranted intrusion had been

wanted to know. He stole out stealth.

way rapidly down the ladder half hid.

a moment or two he was beyond
chance of observation among the trees
that belted the grounds.
Lord, what a sensation it will be
when it's known!" the detective whis
pered to himself as he walked to the
police-station with his news.
If Detmold had been minute or two
later in effecting his retreat he must
inevitably have been seen by DR.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great.
