on the window sill conveys the same idea. So
does the card on the body, which might have
been prepared in the house. That all fits into
your hypothesis, Watson. But now we come
on the nasty, angular uncompromising bits
which won't slip into their places. Why a
cutoff shotgun of all weapons an Ameri-
can one at that? How could they be so sure
that the sound of it would not bring someone
on to them? It's mere chance as it is that
Mrs. Allen did not start out to inquire for the
slamming door. Why did your guilty couple
do all this, Watson?"
~ confess that can't explain it."
"Then again, if woman and her lover con-
spire to murder husband are they going to
advertise their guilt by ostentatiously remov-
ing his wedding ring after his death? Does
that strike you as very probable, Watson?"
"No, it does not"
"And once again, if the thought of leaving
bicycle concealed outside had occurred to
you, would it really have seemed worth doing
when the dullest detective would naturally
say this was an obvious blind, as the bicycle
was the first thing which the fugitive needed
in order to escape?"
IL can conceive of no explanation"
"And yet there should be no combination
of events for which the wit of man cannot
conceive an explanation. Simply as mental
exercise, without any assertion that it is true,
let me indicate possible line of thought. 1t
is, I'admit, mere imagination; but how often
is imagination the mother of truth?
ave will suppose that there was guilty
secret, really shameful secret, in the life of
this man Douglas. This leads to his murder
by someone who is, we will suppose, an aven-
ger, someone from outside. This avenger, for
some reason which | confess l am still at a
loss to explain, took the dead mans wedding
ring. The vendetta might conceivably date
back to the mans first marriage, and the ring
be taken for some such reason.
"Before this avenger got away Barker and
the wife had reached the room. The assassin
convinced them that any attempt to arrest
him would lead to the publication of some
idea, and preferred to let him go. For this
purpose they probably lowered the bridge
which can be done quite noiselessly, and then
raised it again. He made his escape, and for
some reason thought that he could do so
more safely on foot than on the bicycle. He
therefore left his machine where it would not
be discovered until he had got safely away
So far we are within the bounds of possibility
are we not?"
@Well, it is possible, no doubt" said !, with
some reserve.
"We have to remember, Watson, that what
ever occurred is certainly something very ex-

have been doing from quarter to eleven, when
the sound of the shot brought them down,
until quarter past eleven, when they rang the
bell and summoned the servants. What were
they doing, and why did they not instantly
give the alarm? That is the question which
faces u.s. and when it has been answered we
shall surely have gone some way to solve our
problem"
"I am convinced myself" said l, @that there
is an understanding between those two people.
She must be heartless creature to sit laugh
ing at some jest within few hours of her
husbands murder
Exactly. She does not shine as wife even
in her own account of what occurred. | am
not a whole-souled admirer of womankind, as
YOU are aware, Watson; but my experience of
life has taught me that there are few wives,
having any regard for their husbands, who
would let any mans spoken word stand be-
tween them and that husbands dead body.
Should ever marry, Watson, should hope
to inspire my wife with some feeling which
would prevent her from being walked off by
a housekeeper when my corpse was lying with
in a few yards of her. 1t was badly stage
managed; for even the rawest OF investiga-
tors must be struck by the absence of the
usual feminine ululation If there had been
nothing else this incident alone would have
suggested prearranged conspiracy to my
mind"
VOU think then, definitely, that Barker and
Mrs. Douglas are guilty of the murder?"
"There is an appalling directness about your
questions, Watson" said Holmes, shaking his
pipe at me. "They come at me like bullets.
If you put it that Mrs. Douglas and Barker
know the truth about the murder, and are
conspiring to conceal it, then l can give you
whole -souled answer. | am sure they do.
But your more deadly proposition is not SO
clear. Let us for a moment consider the diff
culties which stand in the way.
ave will suppose that this couple are united
by the bonds of guilty love- and that they
have determined to get rid of the man who
stands between them. 1t is large PROPOSE
ton; for discreet inquiry among servants and
others has failed to corroborate it in any way.
On the contrary, there is good deal of evil
dence that the Douglases were very attached
to each other"
"That, l am sure, cannot be true" said l,
thinking of the beautiful smiling face in the
garden.
"Well, at least they gave that impression.
However, we will suppose that they are an
extraordinarily astute couple, who deceive
everyone upon this point and conspire to muir
der the husband. He happens to be man
over whose head some danger hangs"

would have done but good half-hour after
the event."
@And how do you propose to prove all
this?"
"Well, if there were an outsider, he may be
traced and taken. That would be the most
effective of all proofs. But if not-well the
resources of science are far from being ex-
hausted l think that an evening alone in
that study would help me much"

by no means whole-hearted about Barker l

"Well, I'll borrow that if | may"
"Certainly-but what wretched weapon

should certainly ask for your assistance. But
III take the umbrella. At present am only
awaiting the return of our colleagues from
Tunbridge Wells, where they are at present
engaged in trying for a likely owner to the
bicycle"
TT was nightfall before Inspector Mac
Donald and White Mason came back from
their expedition, and they arrived exultant, re-
porting great advance in our investigation
@Man, I'll admit that l had my doubts if
there was ever an outsider" said Macdonald;
"but that's all past now. We've had the
bicycle identified, and we have a description
Of Our man; SO that's a long step on our
journey"
at sounds like the beginning OF the end"
said Holmes, am sure l congratulate YOU
both with all my heart"
"Well, started from the fact that Mr.
Douglas had seemed disturbed since the day
before, when he had been at Tunbridge Wells
1t was at Tunbridge Wells then that he had
become conscious Of some danger. 1t was
clear, therefore, that if a man had come over
with bicycle, it was from Iunbridge Wells
that he might be expected to have come. We
took the bicycle over with us and showed it
at the hotels. 1t was identified at once by
the manager of the Eagle Commercial as be-
longing to man named Hargrave, who had
taken a room there two days before. This
bicycle and small valise were his whole be-
longlngs. He had registered his name as
coming from London, but had given no ad-
dress. The valise was London made, and the
contents were British; but the man himself
was undoubtedly an American. ?" =

Washngton.-Pres Wilson, by
an executive order made public at the
White House, removed all restrictions
against the expectation Of munitions
of war into Mexico from the United
States, placing the warning Mexican
factions on basis of equality with re-
spect to the purchase Of arms and sup
plies in the United states, The eXecu-
tive order emphasized that It Is the
desire Of the United States to be in
the same position Of neutrality toward
the contendlng factions in Mexico as
are the other powers.
The text Of the proclamation fol-
lows:
whereas, by proclamation Of the
president issued on March Ia, 1912,
under a Joint resolution OF Congress
approved by the president on the same
day, It was declared that there exist
ed in Mexico conditions Of domestic
violence which were promoted by the
use Of arms or munitions Of war pro-
cured from the United States; and,
Whereas by the Joint resolution
above mentioned, It thereupon became
unlawful to export arms or munitions
OF war to Mexico, except under such
limitations and exceptions as the presi'
dent should prescribe,
"Now, therefore, /, Woodrow Wilson,
president Of the United States OF
America hereby declare and proclaim
that, as the conditions on (which the
proclamation Of March Ia, 1912, was
based have essentially changed and
as II Is desirable to place the United
States with reference to the eXporla
ton Of armE or munitions Of war to
Mexico in the same position az other
powers, the said proclamation Is here

Ion. Secretary Bryan Informed the
