CHAPTER X.
The Traders Bank.


The morning after Halsey's return
was Tuesday. Arnold Armstrong had
been found dead at the foot Of the cir.
cular staircase at three o'clock on
Sunday morning. The funeral services
were to be held on Tuesday, and the
interment Of the body was to be de-
ferred until the Armstrong; arrived
from California. No one, l think, was
very sorry that Arnold Armstrong was
dead, but the manner Of his death
aroused some sympathy and an enor-
nous amount Of curiosity. Mrs. Ogden
Fitzhugh, a cousin, took charge Of the
arrangements. and everything, l be-
lieve, was as quiet as possible. l gave
Thomas johnson and Mrs. Watson
permission to go into town to pay
their last respects to the dead man,
but for some reason they did not care
to go.
Halsey spent part of the day with
Mr.. Jameson, but he said nothing of
what happened. He looked grave and
anxious, and he had long conversa-
ton with Gertrude late in the after
noon.
Tuesday evening found us quiet,
with the quiet that precedes an ex-
plosion. Gertrude and Halsey were
both gloomy and distraught, and as
Liddy had already discovered that
some Of the china was broken-it is
impossible to have any secrets from
an old servant-I was not in a pleas

murder. We had turned away at least
dozen reporters. But l read over
