ings of uncle and Aunt Enid was
very likely to be shed in the next
interview which he, had in contem-
plation-with Celeste, my aunt's
French maid.
He asked my uncle about the
character of one or two of the SER
wants, how long they had been in
his employment. especially of Live
say. Uncle gave him the highest
assurance with regard to one and
all of them. And then he asked
whether uncle had formed any idea,
any theory Of the murder.
OF course, there was always the
possibility of some tramp, hidden,
perhaps sleeping for the night in
the bushes or in the Summer-house
itself, seeing my aunt go in and
assaulting her for the sake Of her
jewelry or anything she had about
her. That supposition was in part
contradicted by the fact that moth
ing, so far as we knew, had been
taken from my aunt. Her rings
and jewelry were there on the
body-really adding to the dread
fllness of its appearance, as i
thought. But, of course, 1t was al
WAYS conceivable that the tramp,
or whoever 1t was, might have
been scared, as soon as he had
done the deed, by his own act, or
might have heard footsteps-per-
haps Livesay's own-and may have
fed before reaping the fruits of his
crime.
understand that they talked
over the thing in all its aspects,
but could find no satisfactory solu-
ton. At one particularly knotty
point the detective lamented that
he had left his. cigarette case be-
hind and asked uncle IL he could
give him a cigarette, as tobacco al.
ways stimulated his mental activ.
ity. Uncle, think, considered the
request rather cool one from
man in the sergeant's position, but
he gave him the cigarette he had
asked for readily enough and the
debate proceeded.
Possible solutions OF the mystery
we're not wanting, but proof was
lacking. The only person, as they
agreed, against whom there was
any evidence was the semi-gypsy,

ing hand in glove together to one
end In common-the discovery and
the conviction OF the criminal who
had stabbed my roor young aunt
to death.
To be exact, the sergeant's sus-
picions at the commencement OF
this interview ranged over several
persons, and among those of whom
he had his shrewd doubts was that
enigmatical Granger with his
Sphinx-like reticence. There must
surely be something hidden behind
an attitude OF such impenetrable
reserve as that.
Uncle gave him his opportunity
for commenting on Il almost at the
outset OF their talk by saying that
he hoped Sergeant CRISP was re.

quired in his Investigations The
detective replied to that that every
one had seemed very ready to help
him SO far with the single excep-
tion of the butler. E
"Ah," said my uncle, hes dour

more than that. He's more than

ton might have been going when
she went out thus at dead of night?
Sir Ralph could not help him with
any suggestion of a motive.
"It might have been that her
ladyship was troubled and could
not sleep and that the beauty Of
the night tempted her"
"Oh, yes" uncle agreed, at might
conceivably have been that"
"And would this have been at all
a usual thing for her ladyship to
do?" .'.
Certainly not usual at all, but
her ladyship had done such thing
