CHAPTER TX.

Fifteen minutes passed without a
word being spoken. There was deep
silence in the room. 1t was so quiet
that once could have heard pin drop.
Had disinterested spectator been
there to witness it, he would have
been at once impressed by the dra-
matte tableau presented-the dead
man on the floor, his white shirt front
spattered with blood, the cringing,
frightened boy crouching in the chair,
the towering figure of the police cap
tain sitting sternly cycling his hapless
prisoner, and at the far end Of the
room Detective Sergeant Maloney
busy sending hurried messages
through the telephone.
What did you do it for?" Numbered
the captain suddenly.
Towards tongue Glove to his palate.
He could scarcely articulate. He was
innocent, of course, but there was
something In this mans manner which
made him fear that he might, after all.
have had something to do with the
tragedy. Yet he was positive that he
was asleep on the bed all the time.
The question is, would anybody believe
him? He shook his head pathetically.
II didn't do it. Really. didn't"
"Shut your mouth! You're lying,
and you know you're lying. Wait till
the coroner comes. Well fix you.
Again there was silence. and now be
gan long, tedious wait, both men re-
tanning the same positions, the cap
tain watching his prisoner as cat
watches mouse.
Towards mental anguish was al
most uncomfortable. He thought Of his
poor wife who must be waiting up for
him all this time, wondering what had
become of him. She would imagine
the worst, and there was no telling
what she might do. II only he could
get word to her. Perhaps she would
be able to explain things. Then he
thought Of his father. They had quar-.
relied, it was true, but after all 1t was

critical situation as this, one forgets

piciously for moment, then he turned
to his sergeant:

"Eighty-six Morningside.
Maloney again got busy with the
telephone and the wearying wait be-
gan once more. The clock soon struck
two. For a whole hour he had been
subjected to this gruelling process,
and still the lynx-eyed captain sat
there watching his quarry.

The Rialto.

The architect of the famous Rialte
bridge in Venice was Antonio da Pom
te. The bridge is a single arch, 90
feet in length, and is exceedingly
strong and graceful. 1t is crossed by
means Of ascending and descending
steps, while on the top are two ranges
of shops, dividing the structure into
three parallel streets.
