THE CREEPING SHADOW.

Mrs. Taylor suffered a relapse. and
the inquest which had been held back
in anticipation of her recovery was
again delayed. This led to like
postponement Of an inquiry into the
death of Nine. Duclos; and a conse'
quent let-up in public interest. which
thus found itself. for the nonce. de-
prived of further food on which to
batten.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Gryce was not idle.
Anxious to determine just how and
where Nine. Duclos' story fitted into
the deeper and broader one Of the
museum crime, he made use of his
fast waning strength to probe it's
mysteries and master such Of its de-
tails as bore upon the serious inves-
tigation to which he was so unhap-
PLY committed. When he had done
this-when he had penetrated, as 1t
were, into the very heart OF the mat
ter to the, elimination Of all doubt
and thesfi1il establishment Of hts own
theory. It was felt that the time had
como for some sort OF positive action
