Avice spoke in low, intense
tones, as if she were stirred to
the very soul by her narrowing
anxiety,
"Avice,'' said Hoyt, suddenly,
"have you any suspicion of any
body-anybody at all?"
No! oh, no! How could |

''No-no. No, l haven't"
The fisst negative was hest

instantly made up her mind to
say nothing more.
Leslie Hoyt looked at her, and
then with a gentle smile, as OF
one hunoring a child, he said
"All right, dear. Come now with

And together, they went to
listen to the inquest held to de-
termine the circumstances Of the
death of Rowland Trowbridge.

CHAPTER ".
The Inquest Begins.

As Avice entered the drawing
room, she seemed to sense only a
blur of faces. 1t was incredible
that this should be the room
where she had so often laughed
and danced and sung in thought
less joyousness of spirit. She
blindly followed Judge Hoyt,
and sat where he babe her, quite
near the coroner and his jury.
The jurymen, though solemn
~ attentive to their duty, could
not help their rowing gaze being
attracted to the splendor of
their surroundings. The Trow-
bridge home was the perfection
Of quiet, old-fashioned elegance.
Often Avice had wanted to in
troduce more modern furniture
and decorations, but Mr.. Trow-
bridge had firmly denied her re-
quests. And SO the old crystal
chandeliers still dropped their
festooned prisms and the mas
sive doors were still of a soft,
lusterless black, with fine gilt
outlines of panelliLg.
Mrs. Black, too, often sighed
for modern bric-a-brac and fash
ionable window draperies, but
the Will of the master was law,
and the quaint Sevres vases and
heavy hangings remained u
touched.
Coroner Berg fairly fluttered
with Importance. Only lately
had he been appointed to his Of
flee, and he assumed a knowing
air to hide his lack of expert
nee. He vas naturally acute
and shrewd, but his mind just
now was occupied more with the
manner than the matter Of his
procedure. He had studied well
his book of rules, and it was with
great dignity that he called for
the police report on the case.
The testimony of the chief of
police and the police surgeon set
forth the principal known facts,
which were, however, lamentably
few. Even the coroner's intelli-
gent questions failed to bring out
more than the story Of the tele-
phone message, the account OF
the finding Of the body and the
nature Of the crime.
lido you assume the assa..an1
to have been righthanded9'
Berg asked the surgeon.
apparently, yes. But not
necessarily so. The blade pene

and was most likely dealt by

him.

Neither. 1t was just abou
level. 1t sIanted, however, tc
ward the middle Of the body
from the left side, thus pract

Of the weapon.

"Undoubtedly he tried to do
so. There is some indication of
a muscular struggle. But the
assumption must be that the as

the victim.
"How do you explain his con-
torted features, even in deatl1?'
by the fact that he was sur
prised and overpowered, and his
dying struggles were so desper-
ate as to leave their mark"
"You do not attribute the ex-
preston on the dead face to any
terrific mental emotion at the
moment of death?"
1T may be so. Indeed, it may
be the result of both mental and
physical agony"
"The point is important"
said the coroner, with an i'm
pressive wave of his hand. "For
if mental, it might mean that the
man who attacked him was
known to him; while merely
physical horror would imply a
robber or thug
The jurymen wagged their
heads wisely at this sapient re
mark, as if it opened up a new
field of conjecture.
Avice was questioned next.

suddenness Of the call, but re-

"Since childhood. My par

"And you are your uncle s

question, but Avice replied, Sc
renely, "To the extent Of part Of
his fortune"

The superb indifference Of
Eleanor Blacks manner showed
clearly that it was a matter Of no
moment to her if another had
been anxious.
"Have you any suspicion as

witness turned slowly toward
the coroner. At the remark
about Avice she had looked care
lessly in another direction.

"And how much is that?"
