while you were holding your sis

be her final moments. did you observe
whether or not she still wore on bel
finger the curious ring given her by
Mr. Ranelagh and known as her en-
gagement ring?"
"Yes. not only saw it, but felt It
1t was the only one she wore on hei

Mr.. Fox pressed his advantage.
"And when you rose from the lounge
and crossed your sisters hands?''
1T was still there. put that hand
uppermost."
"And left the ring on?''
"Oh. yes; oh. yes!" Her whole atti
tude and face were full Of protest.

It was still on your sisters finger when
you left the room?'
Certainly. sir; certainly"
There was alarm in her tone now
She was beginning to see that her tes'
timony was not as entirely helpful to
Arthur as she had been led to expect.
"Can you say whether you noticed
any especial chill in the hall when
you went out to telephone?'

in the building. heard any noises she
could not account for?
"Yes; many times
"Can you describe these noises?'
"No; they were Of all kinds. The
pines sighed continually. l knew it

when the pines stopped swaying for

too old and weakened to cause death.
