CHAPTER IV.-Continued.

you heard no sound in the nighttime
revolver shot?''
mo, sir. But my room is on the third
floor, and at the other end of the house
sir. / couldn't hear a shot fired in the
office. I'm sure, SIR
And you found no weapon of any sort
in the Office this morning.
mo, sir; Louis and I both looked fol-
that I'm sure SIR
THAT will do, Lambert
Eyes, sir: thank you. sir
Zone moment said I, wishing to know
the exact condition of the house at mid
night. You say, Lambert, you closed
up the front Of the house. Does tina
mean there was back door open?"
1T means I locked the front door, sir
and put the chain on. The library door
opening on to the veranda I did not lock
for, as / said, Mr.. Crawford always locks
that and the windows in there when he is
there late. The back door 1 left on the
night latch, as Louis was spending the
evening out"
"Oh, Louis was spending the evening
out, was hep" exclaimed Mr.. Orville. %

his testimony"
Coroner Monroe turned again to Louis
and asked him where he was the evening
before.
The man was now decidedly agitated
but by an effort he controlled himself
and answered, steadily enough:
Il have tell you that Mr.. Crawford say
I may go wherever l like. And SO. last
evening I spend with young lady,
"At what time did you go out?''
"At half after the 8. sir"
And what time did you return?"
Il return about IL.
''And did you then see a light in Mr.
Crawford's Officer?
Louis hesitated a moment. It could
easily be seen that he was pausing only
to enable himself to speak naturally and
clearly. but it was only after one of those
darling glances at Miss Lloyd that he re-
piled:
Il could not see Mr.. Crawford's office
because I go around the other side Of the
house. I make my entree by the back
door; I go straight to my room. and
know nothing of my master until l go tC
his room this morning and find him no,
there"
Then you didn't go to his room las,
night on your return?"
"As 1 pass his door I see 1t open and
his light low, so know he Is still below
STAIR"
''And you did not pass by the library

on your way round the house,"
Louis race turned a, shade whittier than
usual. but he said distinctly, though in a
low voice, NO. sir.
An involuntary gasp as of amaZement
was heard, and though l looked quickly
at Miss Lloyd, it was not she who had
made the sound. 1t was one of the maid
servants, pretty German girl, who sat
behind Miss Lloyd. No one else seemed
to notice it, and l realized it was not SUR
prlslns that the strain of the occasion
should thus disturb the girl.
You heard Louis come in Lambert -
asked Mr.. Monroes who was conducting
the Whole inquiry i'll a conversational way
rather than as formal inquest.
Yes. sir; he came in about IL and went
directly to his roOm.'
The butler stood with folded hands, a
sad expression in his eyes, but with an
air or Importance that seemed to be in
separable from him in any circumstances
DIR. Fairchild was called as the next
witness.
He testified that he had been summoned
that morning at about a quarter before
. O'Clock. He had gone Immediately to
Mr. Crawford's house, was admitted by
the butler and taken at once to the office.
He found Mr.. Crawford dead in his chair
shot through the left temple with 30
caliber revolver.
Excuse me- said Mr.. Lemuel Porter,
who, with the other jurors. was listening
attenuVely to all the testimony. IF the
weapon was not found. how do you know
it's caliber?''
Il extracted the bullet from the wound, y
returned DR.. Fairchild. land those who
know have pronounced it to be a ball
fired from small pistol of 30 caliber'
But il Mr.. Crawford had committed
suicide. the pistol would have been there, .
said Mr.. Porter, who seemed to be a
more acute thinker than the other jury
men.
Exactly" agreed the coroner. That
why we must conclude that Mr.. Crawford
did not take his own life
Nor would he have done so;'' declared
DR.. Fairchild. Il have known the de-
ceased for many years. He had no reason
for wishing to end his life, and, l am
sure, no inclination to do SO. He was
shot by an alien hand, and the deed was
probably committed at or near midnight"
Thus, We assume" the coroner went
on, as the doctor finished his simple state
ment and resumed his seat. that MIR.
Crawford remained in his Office occupied
with his business matters. until midnight
or later, when some person or persons
came into his room, murdered him and
went away again. without making suffi-
cient noise or disturbance to arouse the
sleeping household"
"Perhaps Mr.. Crawford himself had
fallen asleep in his chair suggested one
OF the jurors-the Mr.. Orville, who was
continually taking notes in his little book
ut is possible said the doctor, as the

tionate nature, he was always courteous
and gentle
"Will you tell US Of the last time you
saw him alive?'
Miss Lloyd hesitated. She showed no
embarrassment, no trepidation; she mere
ly seemed to he thinking.
Her gaze slowly wandered over the
faces of the servants, Mrs. Pierce. Mr..
Philip Crawford, the jurors and. lastly.
dwelt for a moment on the now anxious.
worried countenance of Gregory Hall.
Then she said, slowly, but in an even.
Unconditional voice: 1T was last night at
dinner. After dinner was over my uncle
went out and before he returned l had
gone to my ROOM"
WAS there anything unusual about his
appearance or demeanor at dinner timer
No: l noticed nothing of the sort"
WAS he troubled or annoyed about any
matter that you know OFF,
He was annoyed about one matter that
has been annoying him for some time.
that is my engagement to Mr.. Hail.
