peonies glowed, crimson and white.
A great, clambering rose tree had
thrown it's arms around the square
porch, softening the incorporating
angles into curves of LEAKAGE and
bloom Along the paths pansies
laughed at the sun, and mignonette
scattered it's scented summons to bee
and butterfly. The place was loved
place; so much Kent felt with sure
ness of instinct No home blooms
except by love.
But the house was dead. Its eyes
were closed. Silence held it. The
garden buzzed and fiickered with vivid
multicolored life; but there was no
stir from the habitation of man. Had
its occupants deserted it? Chester
Kent, leaning against the headstone
of Captain Hogg of damnable memory,
pondered and wondered.
From the far side of the mansion
came the sound of door opening and
closing again. Moving quickly along
the sumac-fringed course of the creek,
Kent made detour which gave him
view of side entrance, and had bare
ly time to efface himself in the shrub
berry when a light wagon, with a spir-
tied horse between the shafts, turned
out into the road. Kent, well shell
tered, caught one brief sufficient
glimpse of the occupant. 1t was Doc
tor Breed. The medical officer looked,
as always, nerve-beset; but there was
a greedy smile on his lips.
Kent's mouth puckered. He took a
deep breath of musical inspiration
and exhaled it in painful noiselessness,
fattening himself amid the greenery,
as he saw a man emerge from the rear
of Hedgerow House. The man was
Gansett Jim. He carried a pick and
spade and walked slowly. Presently
he disappeared in the willow-shaded
place of mounds. The sound of his
toll came, muffied, to the ears of the
hidden man.
Cautiously Kent worked his way,
now in the stream, now through the
heavy growth on the banks, until he
gained the roadway. Once there he
went forward to the front gate of
Hedgerow House. The bricked side
walk, runs, thence, straight and true
to the rose-bowered square porch
which is the mansions main entry.
Kent paused for the merest moment.
His gaze rested on the heavy black
door. Heavier and blacker against
the woodwork pendant waved Ian
guidly in the faint Jrt.Ao.
To the normal human being, the
grisly insignium of death over a por-
tai is provocative of anything rather
than mirth. But Chester Kent, view.
ing the Grape on Hedgerow House,
laughed as he turned to the open road.

"Regrettable as his bad taste is"
said Kent with a solemn face, II fear
that Doctor Breed doesn't regard me
with that confidence and esteem which

from Lonesome Cove under that name.

"Of course! OF counsel" assented
Kent.
"If you're looking for anything queer

you've examined it yourself?"
Yes"
Good! Nevertheless, I'd like to see

Together they went to the medical
officers quarters. Doctor Breed had
come in fifteen minutes before. With

Something like a spasm shook the
lineaments of Doctor Breeds meager
face. "Blair!" he repeated. "How did
you know" He stopped short.
How did know that Wilfrid Blair
is dead?" Kent finished for him. "why,
there has been time enough, hasn't

The physicians hands clawed ner-
