CHAPTER XVII.
A Hint of Scandal.

In giving the gist of what happened
at the inquest, / have only n ex-
cuse-to recall to the reader the
events of the night of Arnold Arm
strong's murder. Many things had
occurred which were not brought out
at the inquest and some things were
told there that were new to me. Al
together, it was a gloomy affair, and
the six men in the corner, who con-
stituted the coroner's jury, were evil

hands of that all-powerful gentlemen,

Gertrude and I sat well back, with
our wells down. There were a num-

hugh, in extravagant mourning-she

est provocation, because it was becom-
ing-and Mr.. Jarvis, the man who
had come over from the Greenwood
club the night of the murder. Mr..
Harton was there, too, looking inn
patient as the inquest dragged, but
alive to every particle of evidence.
From q corner Mr.. Jameson was
watching the proceedings ~intently.
DR.. Stewart was called first. His
evidence was told briefly, and amount
ed to this: On the Sunday morning
previous, at q quarter before i've, he
had been called to the telephone. The
message was from q Mr.. Jarvis, who
asked him to come at once to Eunny-

had we not ourselves heard the rap
ping noises, / should have felt that
Louise's imagination had run away
with her. The outer door was closed
and locked, and the staircase curved
above us, for all the world like any
other staircase.
Halsey, who had neve taken seri-
ously my account of the night Liddy
and / were there alone, was grave
enough now. He examined the panel
ing of the wainscoting above and be-
low the stairs, evidently looking for a
secret door, and suddenly there flashed
into my mind the recollection of a
scrap of paper that Mr.. Jameson had
found among Arnold Armstrong; eff

peated its contents to him. while Hal

randum carefully away. We found
nothing at all in the house, and / ex-
pected little from any examination of
the porch and grounds. But as we
opened the outer door something fell
into the entry with a clatter. 1t was
a cue from the billiard room.
Halsey picked it up with an excla-
nation.
That's careless enough" he said.
Some of the servants have been
amusing themselves"

Of the servants would go into that
wing at night unless driven by dire
necessity. And a billiard cue! AS a
weapon of either offense or defense
it was an absurdity, unless n &C.
cepted Liddy's hypothesis of. a ghost,
and eve then, as Halsey pointed out,
a billiard-playing ghost would be a
very modern evolution of an ancient
institution.
That afternoon we. Gertrude. Hal
sey and /, attended the coroner's in
quest in town. DIR. Stewart had been
summoned also, it transporting that in
