 And now. Parks" began. there is something want to say Co you. Let 70 somewhere and slt down."
 Suppose we go up to tue study. sir. You're looking regularly done up. if you'll permit me to say SO. sir"
 A few minutes later we were sitting opposite each other in the room where vantlne and had sat not many hours before liked Parks. and felt he could be trusted. At any rate. had to tgke the risk

K in the ante room where the bodies were found or In ti,, room next to it where the furni- tire Is. Now. 1 am going to lock up those rooms. and l want you to see that nobody enters them without your knowledge"
 Not very likely that anybody will want to enter them. sir" and Parks 1 laughed grim little laugh. "l am not so sure of that" l dis sented. speaking very seriously. "ln fact am Of the opinion that there is somebody who wants Co enter those rooms very badly. nm going Co make 1t your business to keep him out and to capture him if you catch him trying to get in."

Parks followed me and close' the door.
 The anteroom had two windows. ant the room beyond. which was a corne one. had three. All of them wer locked. but a pane Of glass seemed t me an absurdly fragile barrier agains any one who really wished to enter. "Aren't there some wooden shutter for these windows" l asked. "Yes, sir; they were taken down yes terday and put in the basement Sha I get themT
 "I think you'd better" l said. "Wi you need any helpT' ''No. sir; they're not heavy. If you wait here. you can snap the bolts ini place when lift them up from th
