ly whenever I 60 on little holiday,
l had got FIVE ducks, gentlemen,
when they came to me with that
damned telegram. Bad business
mine, cause people will die when
you least expect them to. Let's go
see what Howells has got on his
mind. Bright sleuth, Howells!
Ought to be in New York"
He started up the path, side by
side with Doctor Groom.
Are you eoming?" Graham asked
Bobby.
Bobby shook his head. II don't
want to. I'd rather stay outside.
You'd better be there, Hartley"
Graham followed the others while
Bobby wandered from the court and
started down a path that entered the
woods from the rear of the house.
Immediately the forest closed
greedily about him. Here and there,
where the trees were particularly
stunted, branches cut against pal
lid, greenish glow in the west-the
last light.
Bobby wanted, if he could, to find
that portion Of the woods where he
stood last night, fancying the trees
straining in the wind like puny men,
visualizing a dim figure in black
mask which he had called his con-
science.
The forest was aft of a pattern
ugly, unfriendly, melancholy. He
went on, however, hoping to
glimpse that particular picture he
remembered. He left the path, walk
ing at haphazard among the under
growth. Ahead he saw placid, fiat,
and family luminous stretch. He
pushed through the bushes and
paused on the shore of lake, small
and \ stagnant. Dead, stripped
trunks of trees protruded from the
water. At the end bird arose with
a sudden tapping of wings; it cried
angrily as it scared above the trees
and disappeared to the south.
The morbid loneliness of the place
touched Bobby's spirit with chill
hands. As 4 child he had never
cared to play about the stagnant
lake, nor, he recalled, had the boys
of the village fshed or bathed there.
Certainly he hadn't glimpsed it last
night. He was about to walk away
when a movement on the farther
bank held him, made him gaze with
eager eyes across the sleepy water.
He thought there was something
black in the black shadows of the
trees-~a thing that stirred through
the heavy dusk without sound. He
received, moreover, an impression of
anger and haste as distinct as the
bird had projected. But he couldn't
be sure that there was any one over
there.
He started around the end of the
lake, and for a moment he thought
that the shape of woman, clothed
in black, detached itself from the
shadow. The image dissolved. He
wondered if it had been more sub
stantial than fancy.
"Who is that? he called.
The woods muffled his voice,
There was no answer. Nor was
there, he noticed, any cracking of
twigs or rustling Of dead leaves. If
there had been a woman there she
had fed noiselessly, yet, as he went
on around the lake, his own progress
was distinctly audible through the
decay of autumn.

CHAPTER TX.
The Woman in Black.

The automobile, small runabout,
drew up at the entrance to the court.
A little wizened man, with yellowish
skin stretched across high check
bones, stepped out and walked up
the path.
"Well! he said shrilly. what
you doing, Doctor Groom?"
waiting to witness another rea-
son why coroners should be abol-
ished," the doctor rumbled. "This is
the dead mans grandson, coroner;
and Mr.. Graham, a friend of the
family's."
Bobby accepted the coroner's hand
with distaste.
"Howells," the coroner said in his
squeaky voice, seems to think it's
a queer case. announcement, call

II want to ask you," Graham be
gan, something about the effects O
such drugs as could be given il
wine. Tell him, will you, Bobby
what happened last night?"
Bobby vanquished the discomfor
with which the gruff, opinioned ply
stefan had always filled him. HI
recited the story of last nights din
ner, of his experience in the cafe, O
his few blurred impressions Of thu
swaying vehicle and the woods.
Hartley thinks something may
have been put in my wine
"What for?" the doctor asked
"What had these people to gain by
dragging you? Suppose for some
far-fetched reason they wanted te
have Silas Blackburn put out of the
way. They couldn't make you do il
by drugging you. At any rate, they
couldn't have had hand in this aft,
ernoon. Mind, I'm not saying you
had a thing to do with-it yourself
but I don't believe you were drug,
ged. Any drug likely to be used ir
wine would probably have sent you
into. a deep sleep. And your
symptoms on waking up are scarcely
sharp enough. Sorry, boy. Sounds
more like aphasia. The path you've
been treading sometimes leads to
that black country, and it's there
that hates sharpen unknown. I re-
member a case where a tramp re-
turned and killed farmer who had
refused him food. Retained no rec
objection of the crime-hours drop
ped out of his life. They executed
him while he still tried to remem-
ber."
81 read something about the case, "
Bobby muttered.
Been better if you hadn't" the
doctor grumbled. Suggestions
work in a mans brain without his
knowing it."
He thought for a moment, his
heavy, black brows coming closer
together. He glanced at the win
dows of the old room. His sunken,
infused eyes nearly closed.
81 know how you feel, and that's
little punishment maybe you de-
serve. I'll say this for your comfort.
You probably followed the plan that
had been impressed on your brain
by Mr.. Graham. You came here, 70
doubt, and stood around. With an
automatic appreciation of your con-
dition you may have taken that old
precaution of convivial men return
ing home, and removed your shoes.
Then your automatic judgment may
have warned you that you weren't
fit to 60 in at all, and you probably
wandered off to the empty house"
Chen" Bobby asked, you don't
think / did it?"
God knows who did 1t. God
knows what did it. The longer |
live the surer I become that we SCI
entists can't probe everything
Whenever 60 near Silas Black
burns body I receive very power
full impression that his death in that
room from such a wound goes
deeper than ordinary murder, deeper
than a case Of recurrent aphasia."
His eyes widened. He turned with
Graham and Bobby at the sound OF
an automobile coming throug' the
woods.
Probably the coroner at last" he
said.
