ASCHE KAYTON.

Entering he found himself confront
ed by an oldish boy on the opposite
side of the railing. Inside the railing
were the rugs, settles and chairs Of q
comfortable anteroom. 1t might have
been the publishing Office Of religious
weekly.
The boy respectfully asked his name
and whom he wished to see. Argyle
handed him his card.
"Mr Kayton," he said The boy
opened a gate In the railing and invit
ed him to sit down. AS Argyle sank
on to chair the boy disappeared In
less than sixty seconds one Of the many
doors opening off the anteroom swung
back and man entered holding the
card
The room then looked more than ever
like the office of a church newspaper
The newcomer was bareheaded, also
bald headed, and wore a dark office
coat over a black vest and trousers
His face was round, his eyes round and
pleasant, his cheeks slightly pink and
his expression one Of the utmost benev
olence. But his mouth was thin Tipped
and opened very little when he spoke.
''Mr Argyle?" he said, with nod
and a smile.

Fifteen minutes later the reporters
had most of the details OF this exam
ination, and the newspapers began to
print long and circumstantial stories,
which pointed in but one direction
that Bruce Argyle must have had a
hand in the murder of his father. 1t
was pointed out that there was no
positive proof that he had left the
house at the hour he named and moth

And so it went. These stories were

Artists are not usually considered
reason that Bruce Argyle was expert
encing much difficulty in gaining rec
| ognition as an artist. He was decid-
edly man Of action-lean, wiry, dark
eyed and ascetic. His appearance, save
for the carelessness Of his attire, was
more that of confidential secretary to
an empire builder than a dabbler in
paints and canvases.
He acted with great swiftness, as he
felt there was great need. Not that he
was alarmed-he felt that he was In
no danger of being convicted of the
murder, but he was anxious to keep
his name out of unpleasant associa-
ton with the crime for a number of
perfectly manifest reasons and one
that was not manifest-he was en-
gagged to very charming young wo-
man, Miss Nancy Thompson. The en-
gagement was q secret. but he was
afraid that 1t would leak out and Miss
Thompson's name and picture would
be staring at the young girl from the
front pages Of the newspapers.
Within few hours after the news
papers had taken this tack he was in
consultation with Mr.. Hurley. Mr..
Hurley was a smoothly polished pro-
fessional man of about forty. who
maintained a handsome office. but
practiced little In the courts apparently.
Young Argyle was not satisfied with
the counsel of his fathers lawyer. The
latter advised ignoring the publicity
that must inevitably attend the muir
