after the wreck. The previous five
DAYS had been full of swift-following
.events-the woman in the house next
door. the picture in the theater of a
man about to leap from the doomed
train. the dinner at the Dallaes, and
Richey's discovery that Alison was
the girl in the case In quick success

place, the finding Of the rest of the
telegram, my seeing Alison there. and
the strange interview with Mrs. Con-

covery by the police OF the sealskin
