With the aid of a lighted match had explored every corner of the steel-iined receptacle. The box containing the pearls and tn {. rest of the vaiuables in the Castor collection was gone. Now the pearls were safely back there again. How could that be explained? The mystery was too much for me.
 There was not the slightest reason for me to believe that German wa' lying to me now. l had found him ia all our dealings ghtforwsrd and candid. If he said he had seen great uncle Rufus find the pearls there il must be so, but how could they have got there7 Could it be possible, won dered, that subeonsciously, burdened with the responsibility of the custody of such costly gems, might have risen in my sleep and in . sOmnOlent state removed the pearls to some other hid ing place. No. I decided, that fhe ory was too preposterous and absurd for even 2 moments consideration If l had done that In my sleep 1 must also have restored them to the safe again in my sleep, Ii was far more likely that the thief, becoming alarmed over the publicity brought to

 That Wick knew well who had killed Rufus Gaston, just as he knew who had shot Daisy Lutan, l was morally certain. 1 was inclined to agree with German that Wick himself was not the murderer. The fact that he was of cowardly and cringing nature seemed to argue against associatins him ac- lively with crimes of violence. Yet the virulcnt way in which he was adding to the evidence against me showed plainly that he was industri- ously engaged in masking the real murderer
 Who could the murderer be? l was confident that the same person who had killed Miss Lutan had killed my greatlncle. l could only conjecture as to the motive The police theory that it was burglary seemed as logical as any. The more I pOndered over the
