MY first important discovery" he
said. was strand of pack-thread tied
to a young sapling at the spot where
the body of Sir Andrew was found.
On the other side of the path was
narrow hole between the slabs OF
granite. where a peg had lately been
driven in. The rushes about 1t were
broken here and there The conclu-
sion of spring gun was obvious.
and the reason suggested by the track
Of foxes along the edge of the reeds.
Was the death an accident, after all?
II SO, what business had the stranger
under arrest-Fenton, ! now find. is
his name-upon the island at SO late
an hour?
my conversation WITH the keeper
gave me some interesting results. 1t
was plainly murder, and no accident.
Some one had raised the muzzle Of
the gun so that 1t might kill a man
and not fox. Some one had ex-
pected a visitor to the island that
night against whom he desired to re-
venge himself Was Fenton guilty?
The evidence against him seemed al
most conclusive. He had admitted.
you will remember. that he had an
| appointment with Sir Andrew. Yet.
after he had set the trap, why had
he continued to risk discovery by
lettering about the causeway? How
had he known that the spring gun was
there at all? Why had he brought q
loaded revolver? Why had he Dor.
rowed the punt and reached the
island by SO unexpected manner?
Was he also afraid of some one or
some thing? My mind began to turn
from him to the second stranger. the
botanist with the collecting case. He
at least had information about the
setting of the gun.
There was still further point
Sir Andrew had been shot full in the
chest. If he had been walking down
the causeway he would have been Mi

Up In the Air Some.

A few days ago Columbus (lnd.)
man brought his three-and-a-half-year
old son to this city. The father had
been explaining to the son that In.

with them. They passed the Knights
