Hotchkiss jotted down the bits of
telegram and rose
Well" he said, we've done some
thing. We've found where the MUIR

day he went to Baltimore, and. most
important of all, we have motive for
the crime"

Mcknight. getting up, that man
should kill another man for certain pa
pers he is supposed to be carrying,
eide to throw suspicion on another
man by changing berths and getting
out, bag and baggage, and then, by the
merest fluke of chance, take with him,
in the val1se he changed for his own,
the very notes he was after. 1t was a
bit of luck for him.
Then why" put in Hotchkiss doubt
fully. why did he collapse when he
heard of the wreck? And what about
the telephone message the station
agent sent? You remember they tried
to countermand it, and with some eX-
element
we will ask him those questions
when we get him." Mcknight said We
were on the unrailed front porch by
that time, and Hotchkiss had put away
his notebook. The mother of the
twins followed us to the steps

you! l put the young man to bed
with spice poultice on his ankle;
my mother always was firm believer
in spice poultices. It's wonderful
what they viii do in Group. And then
took the children and went down to
see the wreck. 1t was Sunday, and
the mister had gone to church; hasn't
missed day since he took the pledge

They looked half dead, SO sent them

soap and water. ] always say soap is
better than liquor after shock"

held out an ordinary door key of the

for two days. Then one of the twins

who showed an inclination to drop it.
You don think he locked the door
himself and threw the key out of the
