a blanket down at II o'clock at night.
with every precaution as to noise, and.
when discovered. to fling it at Halsey
and bolt-Halsey' word, and good
one-into the grounds-this made the
incident more than significant.
They moved slowly across the lawn
and up the steps. Halsey was talking
quietly, and Mrs. Watson was looking
down and listening. She was woman
of certain amount OF dignity, most
efficient, 80 far as / could see. al
though Mddy would have found fault
II she dared. But just now Mrs. Wat
sons face was an enigma. She wa.

Mr.. Jameson looked thoughtful.
1T may not amount to anything"
he said slowly. 1T Is difficult to get
any perspective on things around
here, because every one down in the
village is sure he saw the murderer,
either before or since the crime And
half OF them will stretch a point or
two as to facts, to be obliging. But
the man who drives the hack down
there tells a story that may possibly
prove to be important"
Il have heard it, l think. Was 1t
the one the parlor maid brought up

hands on the roof? Oh perhaps it's
