The hint was an accomplished fact
now, infusing eyes and voice.

For feeting delicious instant l

slipped, and I saw a CLINT of IN
mistakable angry chagrin in his

But the next moment he had made
use of his eyeiashes again, and |
knew that behind his half-closed lids
he was debating the most effective
manner of putting me in my place,
according to his schedule for prop

But as he sprang to his feet and
advanced to greet her, one would
have deduced from his manner that
her advent upon the scene was the
one thing needful to complete his
earthly bliss.
"At last" he said, with an intona
ton that welcomed her and at the
same time insinaated that the period
of waiting for her had been tedious

Marlowe was the only one of the

He tapped the revolver. Same

With the pistol in its case between

looked into each others eyes for
some moments. Trent was the first
to speak. This mystery is all
wrong" he observed. 1T is insan-
ity. The symptoms of mania are
very marked. Let US see how we
stand: We were not in any doubt,
| believe, about Manderson having
dispatched Marlowe in the car to
Southampton, or about Mariowe
having gone, returning late last
night, many hours after the murder,
was committed" :
There is no doubt whatever
about all that" said Mr.. Murch,
with a slight emphasis on the verb.
"And now," pursued Trent, 1--WE
are invited by this polished and in
sinuating firearm to believe the fol-
lowing line of propositions: that
Marlowe never went to Southamp-
ton; that he returned to the house
in the night; that he somehow,
without waking Mrs. Manderson or
anybody else, got Manderson to get
UP, dress himselfl and 60 out into
the grounds; that he then and there
shot the said Manderson with his in
eliminating pistol; that he carefully
cleaned the said pistol, returned
to the house and, again without dis
turbing any one, replaced it in its
case i'll favorable position to be
found by the officers of the law;
that he then withdrew and spent the
rest of the day in hiding-with

up. feigning ignorance of the whole
affair, at-what time was it,"
"A little after 9 D. M" The in
spector still stared moodily at Trent.
AS you say, Mr.. Trent, that is the
first theory suggested by this find,
and it seems wild enough-at least
it would do, if it didn't fall to pieces
at the very start When the murder
was done Marlowe must have been
50 to 100 miles away. He did go
to Southampton"
"How do you know"
II questioned him last night, and
took down his story. He arrived in
