Doyle had reserved this telling shot
for a critical moment.
II never had scar on my left
wrist" the other returned jubilantly.
Lets see" the detective snapped
unbelevingly.
"But that proves nothing" Ealen-
tine drew back as he spoke. He ap-
pearcd unwilling TO permit Doyle to
make an examination Of his wrist.
LET me see. tell you. It's got to

he had Valentine cornercd.
The assistant cashier thrust his
hands behind his back.

He lurged forward, clutching Falen-

He pushed back the cuff, but the
surface of the right wrist was as

"By -, that's funny" murmured
Doyle. He looked across the room to
the picture on the wall. He drew a

and stepped before the handsomely
framed photograph once more. He
passed the lens up and down and
across, over the face of the photo
