His little face was

The poor little fellow
suffered very much.
The sores began as

CHAPTER XXI.

For several minutes ORourke re.
manned beside the body, making two
notable discoveries. For he was quick
to note the fact that one of the dead
mans hands was tightly clenched,
while the other lay half-open and
limp. The former was closed upon a
leather thong so stout as to resist any
attempt to break 1t by main strength,
so firmly held that the murderer had
found 1t necessary to sever It with
knife. The knife itself was there,
for proof of this; the sheen Of light
upon Its mother-of-pearl handle caught
the Irishman's eye.
Picking 1t UP, he subjected It to a
close examination that, however,
CLEANED no information. It was sim
ply small pocket penknife, little
worn, with blades of German steel. 1t
carried no Identifying marks and told
him but one thing-that the assassin
had been a European; a native would
never have bothered with 80 ineffec-
tual thing when a sturdy weapon,
serviceable alike for offense and de-
tense, would have served its purpose
equally well.
From this he turned to the dagger
which he had taken from the body;
a stiletto with plain ebony handle,
unmarked. unscratched. apparently
fresh from the dealers showcase. 1t
meant nothing. save that It indicated
still more strongly that the murderer
was most probably not a native. A
Greek or an Italian. a Genoese sailor
or a native of Southern France-say
a seafaring man out Of Marseilles-
might have carried It.
"Oho!" said O'Rourke, speculative.
"a Frenchman, mayhap!"

Hastily he returned to the evening
wrap, fascinating continuance of lace
and satin unquestionably the last cry
of the Partisan mode, such a wrap as
his wife might well have worn. But
beyond Paquin's label stitched inside
its dainty pocket It boosted no dis
tinguishing mark.
He stumbled hurriedly from the
room and down the stairs, returning
to the study where Sypher's body
lay; tortured by mounting fears, he
stood and looked blankly about him,
at loss where next to turn. If almost
preternaturally alive to every sound
or sight that might afford him a clue.
He fought against a suspicion
that crawled like a viper in his brain.
Had he, after all. been deceived in
Sypher's niece. Miss Pynsent? Had
that innocent charm of hers been a

He got up, satisfied that he would
learn nothing more by continuing his
search of the solicitors body. The
mental link between the fact Of the
crime and its perpetrator was inevita-
BILE; ORourke believed implicitly that
SyPher had been murdered by Des
Trebes masquerading as de Hyeres."
And he could have done himself an
injury in the impotent fury aroused by
realization that he had permitted him

had left the house 80 sinisterly quiet?
Swept on by fervor of anxiety on

quickly about the study to assure him

Importance. then passed out into the
main hall or reception-room. Here the
most searching inspection revealed
nothing amiss He moved on TO the
other room on the main floor and
found himself in the dining-room; here
again all was in perfect order.
The kitchen Offices in the rear Of
the house next received his attention;
he found them completely untenanted,
having apparently been abandoned in
desperate haste. Everything was in
disorder; the meal he had been In

place as quickly as possible. returned
to the main hall and assembled to the
upper story.
Here he found three bed-chambers
and a bath. He first entered Sypher's,
then the room evidently occupied by
Miss Pynsent, finally what was un-
questionably a guestchamber, discov-
ering nothing noteworthy until he
reached the latter. And here he re-
ceived a shock. Thrown carelessly
across the foot Of the bed was a wom-
