Why did both she and DIR. Walker
warn us away from the house?
Who was Lucien Wallace?
What did Thomas see in the shadows
the night he died?
What was the meaning of the subtle
change in Gertrude?
Was Jack Bailey an accomplice or a
victim in the looting of the Traders
bank?
What all-powerful reason made Louise
determine to marry DR.. Walker?
The examiners were still working
on the books of the Traders bank, and
it was probable that several weeks
would elapse before everything was
cleared up. The firm of expert ac-
countants who had examined the books
some two months before testified that
every bond, every piece of valuable
paper, was there at that time. 1t
had been shortly after their examina-
ton that the president, who had been
in bad health. had gone to California.
Mr.. Bailey was still ill at the Knicker-
booker. and in this, as in other ways,
Gertrude's conduct puzzled me. She
seemed Indifferent, refused to discuss
matters pertaining to the bank, and
never, to my knowledge, either wrote
to him or went to see him. Gradual
ly came to the conclusion that Ger.
trude, with the rest of the world, be-
lieved her lover guilty, and-although
l believed it myself, for that matter
l was irritated by her indifference

that made me think that under Ger

with Halsey and Alex to guard the
house.

c1ously rough short cuts we got there
very quickly. 1t was a pretty little
town, on the river, and back on the
hill l could see the Morton big coun.
try house. where Halsey and Ger
trude had been staying until the night
of the murder.
Elm street was almost the only
street, and number IA was easily
found. 1t was a small white house,
dllapidated without having gained
anything picturesque. with a low win
dow and a porch only a foot or so
above the bit of lawn There was a
baby-carriage in the path, and from
swing at the side came the sound of
conflict. Three small children we're
d1sputing vociferously, and a faded
young woman with kindly face was
trying to hush the clamor When she
saw us she united her gingham apron
and came around to the porch.
Good afternoon" said. Jameson

came to inquire about a child named
Lucien Wallace"

said In spite of the other children,

thought perhaps his mother would be

Mr. Jameson stepped forward.
you are Mrs. Tate?" wondered
how the detective knew.
Yes, sir"
Mrs. Tate, we want to make some
inquiries. Perhaps in the house"
Come right in" she said Hospitality.
And soon we were in the little shabby
parlor, exactly like a thousand of it's
prototypes. Mrs. Tate sat uneasily, her
hands folded in her lap.
How long has Lucien been here?"
Mr.. Jameson asked
Since week ago last Friday. His
mother paid one weeks board in ad-
vance, the other has not been paid"
No, sir, not what you'd call sick
He was getting better of typhoid, she
said, and he's picking up fine"
will you tell me his mothers name
and address?"
That's the trouble the young
woman said, knitting her brows. "She
gave her name as Mrs. Wallace, and
said she had no address,, She was
looking for boarding house in town.
She said she worked in department
store, and couldn't take care of the
child properly, and he needed fresh
air and milk. l had three children of
my own, and one more didn't make
much difference in the work, butt
wish she would pay this weeks
board"
Did she say what store it was?"
No, sir, but all the boys clothes
came from Kings. He has far too fine
clothes for the country"
There was a chorus of shouts and
shrill yells from the front door, fol-
lowed by the loud stamping of chill
dren's feet and a throaty whoa,
dem team of two chubby youngsters, a
boy and a girl, harnessed with a
clothes-line, and driven by a laughing
boy of about seven, in tan overalls
and brass buttons. The small driver
caught my attention at once; he was
a beautiful child, and, although he
showed traces of recent severe illness,
his skin bad now the clear transpar-
ency of health.
Whoa, Flinders" he shouted.
You're going to smash the trap"

holding out lead pencil, striped blue
and yellow.

1t was Monday evening when we
found the body of poor Thomas. Mon
day night had been uneventful; things
were quiet at the house and the De-
culiar circumstances of the old mans
death had been carefully kept from
the servants. Rosie took charge of
the dining room and pantry, in the alb
sence of a butler, and, except for the
warning of the Casanova doctor, every
thing breathed of peace.
Affairs at the Traders bank were
progressing slowly. The failure had
hit small stockholders very hard, the
minister of the little Methodist chapel
In Casanova among them. He had
received as legacy from an uncle a
few shares of stock in the Traders
bank, and now his joy was turned to
bitterness: he had to sacrifice every
thing he had in the world. and his
feeling against Paul Armstrong, dead
as he was, must have been bitter in
the extreme. He was asked to Of
ficiate at the simple services when the
dead bankers body was inferred in
Casanova churchyard, but the good
man proyidentially took cold, and a
substitute was called in.
A few days after the services he
called to see me, kind-faced little
