L \ Chester Kent had de-

of night letters, bringing in
formation regarding the Blairs
of Hedgerow House: not sNf-
ficient information to satisfy
the seeker, however. There
fore, having digested their
contents at breakfast, the
scientist cast about him to
supply the deficiency. The
feet of hope led him to the
shop of Elder Ira bennett.
Besides being an able plumb
er and tinker, Elder bennett
performed, by vocation, the
pleasurable duties of imprint
ed journalism. That is to
say, he was the sermiofficial
town gossip. AS Professor
Kent was a conspicuous fig
ure in the choicest titbit the
Elder had acquired in stock for
many years, and as the Elder
had been unable to come to
speech with him since the in
quest (Kent had achieved
some skilful dodging), there
was Joy in the plumber-tinker's
heart over the visit. Unhap-
PLY, it appeared that Kent
was there strictly on business.
He did not wish to talk of
the mystery of Dead Mems
Cove. He wished his acety-

stolidly.
AS the flicker of radiance
danced and disappeared in the

No. answered Chester
Kent; "but we've done what's
as good. We've quashed an

"Flat out, don't. But I've shrewd guess that Ill

"Dun' no what you mean"
grunted Gansett Jim.
"And you mustn't shoot
him." continued the scientist.
The tone was soft as a wo-
mans; but Sedgwick felt in
it the tensity of a man ready
for any extreme. Perhaps the
halfbreed, too, felt the peril of
that determination; for he
hung his head. "I've brought
you here to show you why.

plunged into a bypath. After
a few minutes of swift going
he pulled up short, in an open
copse of ash, and set the Ian

like, he nosed about the trod-

across and, Selling Sedgwick' s

OUCH ruin as had been
- wrought in Sedgwick's
studio was strictly localized.
The easel lay on the floor, with
its rear leg crumpled. Around it
were scattered the fragments of
the glass upon which the painter
had set his labor of love. A
high, old fashioned chair faced
the wreckage. On its peak was
hung a travelling cap. Looping
across the seat sprawled a Nor
folk jacket belonging to Sedgwick.
Chester Kent lifted it, and after
a swift survey let it drop.
