window. He rose heavily to help her.
 No, thank you!" she said. "No, thank you. I want to look over this fire escape. I'm that old can't go up modest-like. It's enough to have the stenographers rubberin' from these windows, without you"
 However, she managed with sur passing lightness the step from the window to the iron stairway, with as- tonishing grace the ascent She threaded it to it's top, viewing 1t all in a general way. Then she stopped, ma king a picture of herself as she bal anced on the landing, and pulled out wire hairpin. This universal imple- ment of the sex she twisted to suit her purpose, and began a slow descent, picking at the interstices Of the iron.
 So she worked downward nearly one flight before she came to a cake of dirt in a corner of the iron steps. She brushed it away and discovered little irregularity in the metal. She picked at this with her twisted hairpin. It proved to be a loop of steel, somewhat spotted, but still bright. She hooked the pin into the loop, and pulled. Some thing gave way. Out of a very small hollow in the iron step, which seemed like a bubble left in the process of casting, came little hard ball. She rubbed it with her hands, and polished 1t with her handkerchief.
 It was Q red shoe button.
 IIosane fingered it, and glanced up- ward, musing. Above, the iron stair- way ran straight to the windows Of the lumber room. And that was the only window from which 1t could have fall en in such fashion as Co strike the fire escape. She knew from Mrs. Moore that this room had been used for stor- age during all of the last year. If a previous tenant dropped it, the lac quer would be gone or taTnished by now. The other windows on the fourth floor were cut of from view of the fire escape by an irregularity of the wall. From those windows. one could scarce ly have thrown the button and hit that spot on the fire escape-"let alone droppin' it." thought Rosalie. Rcsalie wrapped the button in her handkerchief and continued her search. Nothing heavier than straws and scraps of paper.
 Well, you never can telI,'' she said 10 herself as she straightened up on the landing before Captain Hanska's window; Tets see-who in my house ever wears-'

 'Um-humn she buzzed with the tone of one who gathers the straws of sus- pieion into a sheaf of fact. "Um-hum!"
 And just then the voice of Inspector McGee boomed from within.
 Pretty near through ?" he asked.
 Much as I want" replied Rosalie, voice and face falling at once into in- difference. "Is there a place to wash in this house? Water aint turned on yet? All right"
 When, ten minutes later, she re- turned from the lavatory, marvelously freshened in appearance, the inspector awaited her in the lower hall.

Runs from the lumber room straight down. Passes at the third floor the windows of Captain Hanska's room. The corresponding room on the second floor is vacant. No one entered by the basement, either. Windows and doors all bolted inside and showed nc signs of being tempered with. You see, it was this Wade fellow, or an in side job. And while we're talking about locks'-here Martin McGee opened Captain Hanska's door and stood with a foot on either side of the threshold this is little piece of evidence I've figured out myself Notice. he had a spring lock. Mrs. Moore says he put it on himself. That indicates he was afraid of somebody-Wade, probably. Him being so particular on that point, it was only natural he should keep it locked when he was asleep. Now, look here"
 This was an inside" spring lock of the ordinary pattern. It could be controlled from without only by the key. Within, however, was knob and a button by which one could turn back the catch and render it temporarily useless as a lock. Well. now" said McGee, the catch was back when they found the body, and the door wasn't locked at all If he'd been alive after Wade left him, he wouldn't have gone

 Rosalie did not seem to struggle; yet somehow, without haste, without disarranging herself in one little item, she was free of him. The surge in Martin McGee receded as rapidly as it had risen. He stood blank, his color thickeEing.
