SYNOPSIS.

Miss 1nnes. spinster and guardian OF
Gertrude and Halsey. established summer
headquarters at Sunnyside. Amidst nu-
AS Miss Innes locked up for the night
she was startled by dark figure on the
yeranda. unseemly noises disturbed her
during the night. In the morning Miss
1nnes found a strange link cuff-button in
q hamper. Gertrude and Halsey arrived
ened by revolver shot and Arnold Arm
strong was found shot to death in the
hall. Miss Innes found Halsey's revolver
on the lawn. He and Jack Bailey had dis
appeared. The link cur-button mysteri-
ously disappeared. Detective Jameson
arrived. Gertrude revealed she was en-
talked in the billiard room few mo-
ments before the murder. Jameson ac-
cused Miss Innes of holding back evi-
denee. He imprisoned an intruder, in an
empty room. The prisoner escaped down
q laundry chute. Gertrude was suspected
. A negro found the the other half OF what
Halsey reappears and says he and Bailey
left in response to telegram Gertrude

lodgekeeper said Louise and Arnold had
a long talk the night of the murder. Lou

that while she still loved him she was to
marry another, and that he would despise
her when he learned the whole story.
1t developed that DR.. Walker and Louise
were to be married. A prowler was heard
in the house. Louise was found at the
bottom of the circular staircase. Louise
said she had heard a knock at the door
and answered it. Something brushed past
her on the stairway and she tainted. Bal

Hs serutinized tn. Whole Place Carefully.

Why did both she and Dr. Walker
warn us away from the house?
Who was Lucien Wallace?
What did Thomas see in the shadows
the night he died?
What was the meaning of the subtle
change in Gertrude?
Was Jack Bailey an accomplice or a
victim in the looting of the Traders
bank?
What all-powerful reason made Louise
determine to marry DR.. Walker?
The examiners were still working
on the books of the Traders bank, and
it was probable that several weeks
would elapse before everything was
cleared up. The firm of expert &C.
countants who had examined the books
some two months before testified that
every bond, every piece of valuable
paper, was there at that time. It
had been shortly after their examina-
ton that the president, who had been
In bad health, had gone to California.
Mr. Bailey was still i'll at the Knicker-
booker, and in this, as in other ways,
Gertrude's conduct puzzled me. She
seemed Indifferent, refused to discuss
matters pertaining to the bank, and
never. to my knowledge. either wrote
to him or went to see him. Gradual
ly came to the conclusion that Ger.
trude, with the rest of the world, be-
lieved her lover guilty, and-although
believed 1t myself, for that matter
l was irritated by her Indifference.
Girls in my day did not meekly accept
the public's verdict as to the man
they loved.
But presently something occurred
that made me think that under Ger
trude's surface calm there was a seeth-
ing flood of emotions.
Tuesday morning the detective
made careful search of the grounds,
but he found nothing. In the after
noon he disappeared, and It was late
that night when he came home. He
said he would have to go back to the
city the following day, and arranged
with Halsey and Alex to guard he
house.

anything tangible that we have had
yet"
Warner took us to Richfield in the
car. 1t was about 25 miles by rail-
road, but by taking a series of afro
ciously rough short cuts we got there
very quickly. 1t was q pretty little
town. on the river, and back on the
hill could see the Morton big coun-
try house. where Halsey and Ger
trude had been staying until the night
of the murder.
Elm street was almost the only
street, and number IA was easily
found. 1t was a small white house.
dilapidated without having gained
anything picturesque, with a low win
dow and a porch only a foot or SO
above the bit of lawn. There was a
baby-carriage in the path, and from
. swing at the side came the sound Of
conflict. Three small children were
disputing vociferously. and a faded
young woman with kindly face was
trying to hush the clamor. When she
saw us she united her gingham apron
and came around to the porch.
Good afternoon" said. Jameson
lifted his hat. without speaking. 81
came to inquire about . child named
Lucien Wallace"
Il am glad you have come" she
said. "In spite of the other children,
think the little fellow is lonely. We
thought perhaps his mother would be
here today"
Mr. IamtaQnn cf0nnnd rl
you are Mrs. Tate?" wondered
how the detective knew.
Yes. SIR"
"Mrss Tate. we want to make some
inquiries. Perhaps in the house"
Come right in," she said Hospitality.
And soon we were in the little shabby
parlor, exactly like thousand of its
prototypes. Mrs. Tate sat uneasily, her
hands folded in her lap.
How long has Lucien been here?"
Mr.. Jameson asked.
Since week ago last Friday. His
mother paid one weeks board in ad-
vance, the other has not been paid"
Was he i'll when he came?"
mo. sir. not what you'd call sick
He was getting better of typhoid, she
said. and he's picking up fine"
will you tell me his mothers name
and address?"
That's the trouble" the young
woman said, knitting her brows "She
gave her name as Mrs. Wallace. and
said she had no address. She was
looking for boarding house in town.
She said she worked in a department
store. and couldn't take care of the
child properly, and he needed fresh
air and milk. had three children Of
my own, and one more didn't make
much difference in the work, butt
wish she would pay this weeks
board"
did she say what store it was?"
mo, sir. but all the boys clothes
came from Kings. He has far too fine
clothes for the country"
There was a chorus of shouts and
shrill yells from the front door, fol-
lowed by the loud stamping of chill
dren's feet and a throaty whoa,
whoa!" Into the room came a tan
dem team Of two chubby youngsters, a
boy and a girl, harnessed with a
clothes-line. and driven by laughing
boy of about seven, in tan overalls
and brass buttons. The small driver
caught my attention at once; he was
a beautiful child, and, although he
showed traces Of recent severe Illness
his skin had now the clear transpar.

whoa, Flinders" he shouted

Mr.. Jameson coaxed him over by
holding out lead pencil, striped blue
and yellow.
