and so he was silent"
@How did you know it, them"
Mrs. Douglas face lit with quick smile.
@Can a husband ever carry about secret all
his life, and woman who loves him have no
suspicion of it? l knew it by his refusal to
talk about some episodes in his American life.
l knew it by certain precautions he took [
knew it by certain words he let fall. l knew
it by the way he looked at unexpected stran-
gers. 1 was perfectly certain that he had some
powerful enemies, that he believed they were
on his track and that he was always on his
guard against them. I was so sure of it that
for years have been terrified if ever he came
home later than was expected"
@Might 1 ask" said Holmes, @what the
words were which attracted your attention."
"The Valley of Fear" the lady answered.
"That was an expression he has used when I
questioned him. I have been in the Valley
of Fear. I am not out of it et.-'Are we
never to get out of the Valley of Fear?'
have asked him when have seen him more
serious than usual Sometimes think that
we never shall,' he has answered"
3Surely you asked him what he meant by
the Valley of Fear?"
II did; but his face would become very
grave and he would shake his head. 1t is
bad enough that one of us should have been
in its shadow he said. Please God it shall
never fall upon you'll It was some real valley
in which he had lived and in which something
terrible had occurred to him, of that l am
certain; but can tell you no more"
3And he never mentioned any names?"
"Yes he was delirious with fever once when
he had his hunting accident three years ago.
came continually to his lips. He spoke it with
anger and sort of horror. McGinty was the
name-Bodymaster McGinty. I asked him
when he recovered who Bodymaster McGinty
was, and whose body he was master of.
Never of mine, thank God!' he answered
with laugh, and that was all l could get
from him. But there is connection between
Bodymaster McGinty and the Valley of
Fear"
@There is one other point" said Inspector
Macdonald. 3You met Mr.. Douglas in a
boarding house in London, did you not, and
became engaged to him there? Was there
any romance, anything secret or mysterious,
about the wedding?"
3There was romance. There is always ro-
nance. There was nothing mysterious"
"He had no riva1?"
@No, was quite free"
@You have heard, no doubt, that his we'd
ding ring has been taken. Does that suggest
anything to you? Suppose that some enemy
of his old life had tracked him down and COM

She rose, and was again conscious of that
quick, questioning glance with which she had
just surveyed US. "What impression has my
evidence made upon you?"-the question
might as we'll have been spoken. Then, with
bow, she swept from the room.
SHE'S beautiful woman-a very beauti-
full woman" said Macdonald thought
fully, after the door had closed behind her.
@This man Barker has certainly been down
here good deal. He is a man who might be
attractive to woman. He admits that the
dead man was jealous, and maybe he knew
best himself what cause he had for jealousy.
Then there's that wedding ring. You can't
get past that. The man who tears wedding
ring off dead mans What do you say to
it, Mr.. Holmes?"
My friend sat with his head upon his hands,
sunk in the deepest thought. Now he rose
and rang the bell. "Ames," he said, when the
butler entered, "where is Mr.. Cecil Barker
now?"
"I1l see, Sir"
He came back in moment to say that
Barker was in the garden.
"Can you remember, Ames, what Mr.. Bar
ker had on his feet last night when you joined
him in the study?"
ayes, Mr.. Holmes. He had a pair of bed
room slippers. brought him his boots when
he went for the police"
@Where are the slippers now?"
3They are still under the chair in the hail."
@Very good Ames. 1t is of course, impor-
tant for us to know which tracks may be Mr..
Barker's and which from outside"
eyes, Sir. I may say that 1 noticed that
the slippers were stained with blood-so in
deed were my own"
THAT is natural enough, considering the
condition of the room. Very good, Ames.
We will ring if we want you"
A few minutes later we were in the study.
Holmes had brought with him the carpet slip
pers from the hall. As Ames. had observed,
the so1es of both were dark with blood.
aStrange!" murmured Holmes, as he stood
in the light of the window and examined them
minutely. Every strange indeed!"
STOPPING with one of his quick feline
pounces, he placed the slipper upon the blood
mark on the sill. It exactly eorresponded.
He smiled in silence at his colleagues.
The Inspector was transfgured with excite
ment. His native accent ratified like stick
upon ratings.
"Man, he cried, @there's not doubt of it,
Barker has just marked the window himself.
It's good deal broader than any bootmark.
l mind that you said it was splay foot, and

note to the effect that he would wait upon
Mrs Douglas in her room; but she had replied
that she would meet in the dining room.
She entered now, a tall and beautiful woman
of thirty, reserved and self-possessed to re-
markable degree, very different from the tragic
and distracted figure had pictured. 1t is true
that her face was pale and drawn, like that of
one who had endured a great shock; but her
manner was composed, and the finely nodded
hand which she rested upon the edge of the
table was as steady as my own Her sad, ap-
pealing eyes travelled from one to the other
of us with curiously inquisitive expression.
That questioning gaze transformed itself sud-
denly into abrupt speech.
"Have you found anything out YETI" she
asked.
Was it my imagination that there was an
undertone of fear rather than of hope in the
question?
1--WE have taken every possible step, Mrs.
Douglas" said the Inspector. HYou may rest
assured that nothing will be neglected"
aSpare no money!" she said in Dead even
tone. at is my desire that every possible
effort should be made"
@Perhaps you can tell us something which
may throw some light upon the matter"
II fear not; but all know is at your ser
vice"
1--WE have heard from Mr.. Cecil Barker that
you did not actually see-that you were never
in the room where the tragedy occurred"
"No, he turned me back upon the stairs.
He begged me to return to my room."
@Quite So You had heard the shot, and
you had at once come DOWN."
II put ON my dressing gown and then came
down"
@How long was it after hearing the shot
that you were stopped on the stair by Mr..
Barker?"
at may have been couple of minutes. It
is so hard to reckon time at such moment.
He implored me not to go on. He assured me
that l could do nothing. Then Mrs. Allen,
the housekeeper, led me upstairs again. It
was all like some. dreadful dream"
"Can you give US any idea how. long your
husband had been downstairs before you
heard the shot,"
@No, cannot say. He went from his
dressing room, and I did not hear him CO. He
did the round of the house every night; for
he was nervous of fire. 1t is the only thing
that have ever known him nervous Of.
"That is just the point which l want to
come to, Mrs. Douglas. You have known
your husband only in England, have you not?"
ayes, we have been married five years"
"Have you heard him speak of anything
which occurred in America and might bring
some danger upon him?"

woman's lips.

is certainly most extraordinary thing"
@Well, we will not detain you any longer,

we can refer to you as they arise"

To Bncampmsnt

The boys of Co. G 1st infantry
N. G. Ga. will bid farewell to
theirwives, sweethearts and friends
on the 2lst day of July. The boys
will entrain at 1925 p. m. via A.
B. & A. R. r. for Savannah, Ga.
and then by the Central of Ga. to
Augusta, Ga.
The camp will be located in the
suburb of "Aumond" near Augusta
This location was selected for this
encampment because, among other
considerations, it was thought to
possess not only the necessary
requirements of good camp site,
with sufficient land for maneuyers
and field exercises, but it is we'll
known as a most healthy, cool and
pleasant place in which to spend
the summer. In addition, it has
all the advantages of summer re-
sort, beautiful woods, cool springs,
clear water lakes, shaded walks
and drives-with plenty of oppor-
tunltv to combine patriotic work
with a needful amount of recrea-
ton and social diversion.
Augusta has contributed liberal
lY for the benefit of the camp, and
intends to make the stay of the
military IS pleasant as possible,
with the hope that this camp may
become a permanent feature.
Nature has done most of the
work for the beautiful clear water
lakes, nesting between the Au-
mond hills. The lakes are fed by
Rae's creek, flowing $500, 900
gallons dailv in dry weather,
Twelve and fourteen pound
trout, have been caught recently.
The lakes are three-fourths mile
in length and from 900 to 300
feet wide.
Two new tennis courts have
been completed, making five .of
the finest in the south. Dances
will be held at the Country Club
from time to time during the en-
campment.

DIPHTHERIA CLOSES
PAROCHIAL SCHOOL
S istar Superior Is Ill - Other Sisters
Associated With Her - About
$50 Pupils in the School.

St Nichaels Parochal school was closed
this morning 10y order of DR.. Henry Tuck
er, health officer, because of the fact that
Sister Superior Joseph is i'll with dipll-
liberia. She suffered with sore throat
last Tuesday, but did not summon a ply
sician until Friday. He promptly pro
nounced the case one OF diphtheria and
the report from the state laboratory at
Burlington on the culture was positive
one.
The other Sisters have been associated
with her more on less intimately from
Tuesday until she was placed in close
quarantine last Friday in charge of one OF
the Sisters. There are about 200 pupils
in the Parochial school who are now on
an enforced vacation and some of them
may have been exposed.
The school will remain closed until such
time as the health official believes there is
no further danger of contagion.
