day that I'd better tell you. Yesterday
afternoon, while you and Miss Ger
trude were out driving, l had got the
car in some sort of shape again after
the fire, and | went to the library to
call Mr.. lnnes to see 1t. l went into
the living room. where Miss Liddy
said he was, and halfway across the
library l heard him talking TO some
one. He seemed to be walking up and
down, and he was in a rage, l can tell
you"
What did he say?"
The first thing l heard was-ex
cuse me-, Miss Innes, but it's what he
said, The damned rascal he said,
III see him in'-well, In hell was
what he said, in hell first. Then
somebody else spoke up; it was a
woman. She said: I warned them,
but they thought | would be afraid
"A woman! Did you wait to see who
It was?"
Il wasn't spying, Miss %Innes," War
ner said with dignity. But the next
thing caught my attention. She said:
I knew there was something wrong
from the start. A mar isn't we'll II
day, and dead the next, without some
reason | thought she was speaking
of Thomas"
And you don't know VINO it was!" I
exclaimed. Warner, you had the key
to this whole occurrence in your
hands and did not see IT."
However, there was nothing to be
done. | resolved to make inquiry
when l got home, and in the mean,
time, my present errand absorbed me.
This was nothing less than to see
Louise Armstrong, and to attempt to
drag from her what she knew, or sus-
pected Of Halsey's disappearance.
But here, as in every direction l
turned, l was bafled.
A neat maid answered the bell, but
she stood squarely in the doorway.
and it was impossible to preserve
ones dignity and pass her.
Miss Armstrong is very i'll and I'M
able to see any one." she said. | did
not believe her.
And Mrs. Armstrong; she also
in?"
She is with Miss Louise and can
not be disturbed"
Tell her it is Miss Innes, and that it
is a matter Of the greatest impor-
lance"
1T would be of no use, Miss lnnes,
my orders are positive"
At that moment a heavy step sound
ed on the stairs. Past the maids
