into a chair beside my reading lamp

almost midnight and I'm wider awake
than ever. I've seen Sullivan, Mr..
Blakeley."
"You have!"
II have" he said, impressively.
"You were following Bronson at
eight o'clock. Was that when it hap

night, when everything is quiet, she
slips behind the curtains of lower ten,
where the mans breathing shows he
is asleep. Didn't you say he snored?"
"He did," ] affirmed. "But tell
you"
Now keep still and listen. She
gropes cautiously around in the dark
ness, finally discovering the wallet un-
der the pillow. Can't you see 1t your
self"
He was leaning forward, excitedly,
and / could almost see the grewsome
tragedy he was depicting.
"She draws 0,t the wallet. Then,
perhaps she remembers the alligator
bag and on the possibility that the
notes are there, instead of in the
pocketbook, she gropes around for 1t.
Suddenly, the man awakes and clutch
es at the nearest object, perhaps her
neck chain, which breaks.
ut is all in silence; the man is still
stupidity drunk. But he holds her in
tight grip. Then the tragedy. She
must get away; in minute the car
will be aroused. Such woman, on
such an errand, does not go without

with a quick thrust-she's a big
woman and a bold one-she strikes.
Possibly Hotchkiss is right about the
left-hand blow. Harrington may have
held her right hand, or perhaps she
held the dirk in her left hand as she
CROPPED with her right. Then, as the
man falls back and his grasp relaxes,
she straightens and attempts to get
away. The swaying of the car throws
her almost into your berth, and. trem-
bling with terror, she crouches behind
the curtains of lower ten until every
thing is still. Then she goes noise
lessly back to her berth"
| nodded.
"It seems to fit partly. at least"
said. "In the morning when she found
that the crime had been not only fruit
less, but that she had searched the
wrong berth and killed the wrong
man; when she saw me emerge, un-
hurt, just as she was bracing herself
for the discovery of my dead body,
then she went into Mysteries. You re.
member, I gave her some whisky.
ut really seems tenable theory
But, like the Sullivan theory, there are
one or two things that don't agree
with the rest. For one thing, how did
the remainder of that chain get into
Alison Vests possession"
"She may have picked it up on the
Hoor'
"We1l admit that" said: "and I'm
sure hope so. Then how did the mur
dered mans pocketbook get into the
sealskin bag? And the dirk. how ac
count for that. and the blood stains?'
Now what's the use," asked Nc
knight aggrievedly, "of my building
up beautiful theories for you to pull
down? Well take it to Hotchkiss
Maybe he can tell from the blood
stains If the murderer's finger nails
were square or pointed"
"IIotchlsiss is no fool" said warm
ly. Under all his theories there's g
good, hard layer of common sense
And we must remember, Rich, that
