was double-barred, and had table
pushed against it; and beside her ON
the table was most of the kitchen par

Did you see if there was any one
missing in the house?" | asked, ignor-
ing the array of sauce pans, rolling
pins and the poker of the range
Rosie is missing" Liddy said with
JUNCTION. She had objected to Rosie,
the parlor maid, from the start Mrs.
Watson went into her room, and found
she had gone without her hat. People
that trust themselves a dozen miles
from the city, in strange houses, with
servants they don't know, needn't be
surprised if they wake up some morn
ing and find their throats cut"
After which carefully yelled sar-
casm Liddy relapsed into gloom. War

small tools, and Mr.. Jameson went
with him to the basement Oddly

my heart | wished for Halsey, but l
was not frightened. At the door he
was to force Warner put down his
tools and looked at it. Then he
turned the handle Without the slight
est difficulty the door opened, reveal
ing the blackness of the drying room
beyond!
Mr.. Jameson gave an exclamation
OF disgust. "Gone!" he said. Con
found such careless work! I might
have known"
1t was true enough. We got the
lights on finally and looked all
through the three rooms that con-
stituted this wing of the basement.
Everything was quiet and empty. An
explanation of how the fugitive had
escaped injury was found in a heaped-
up basket of clothes under the chute
The basket had been overturned, but
that was all. Mr.. Jameson examined the

The Other Half of the Link,


Miss Innes," the detective began,
what is your opinion of the figure

you and your maid were in the house
alone?"
1T was a woman" l said positively.
"And yet your maid afiirms with
equal positiyeness that it was man"
Nonsense" l broke in. "Liddy
had her eyes shut-she always shuts
them when she's frightened"
And you never thought then that
the intruder who came later that
night might be a woman-the woman

Now we are getting down to bust
ness. What were your reasons for
thinking that?"
| hesitated.
IF you have any reason for believ-
ing that your midnight guest was Mr.
Armstrong, other than his visit here
the next night, you ought to tell me,
Miss Innes. We can take nothing for
granted If, for instance, the intru-
der who dropped the bar and
scratched the staircase-you see, l
know about that-if this visitor was
a woman, why should not the same
woman have come back the following
night, met Mr. Armstrong on the cir
cular staircase, and in alarm shot
him?"
1T was a man." | reiterated. And
then, because | could think of no 9th

him about the pearl cuff-link. He was
intensely interested.

visitor yesterday, for the first time
in more than three years.
He has been at the lakes with his
family for the summer, and came up
to Bismarck Sunday night to look az
ter some business affairs in probate
court, and yesterday he looked about
at some of the improvements of the
past three years.
He was much pleased with the
growth of the Capital City, which he
says equals the growth of any city In
the state II it does not excel them all.
Particularly was he impressed with
the new business blocks, the new City
National block, the Hotel Mckenzie,
the Grand Pacific addition, the new
Bismarck Grocery building and the
International Harvester company's
mammoth warehouse, to say nothing
OF the hundreds Of residences that
have been erected.
He says the western part Of the
state IL just coming into Its own and
he looks to see a steady growth both
of country and cities In the next de-
cade that will surprise even those &C.
customed to rapid changes.
