The funeral grafton by the Rev. Dr.
Maltby dragged on. Among all his
hearers there was but one who be-
lieved the things he said of Challis

and his sister. But in this instance
the mother was alone. The silent,
attentive guests on the lower floor
listened in grim approval: Dr. Maltby

all of them knew that Maltby knew.
And yet how soothing he was.
By the end of the week the murder
of Challis Wrandall was forgotten by
all save the police. The inquest was

serenely waiting for it's next sensa-
