 Had you doubted it. then?"
 ''Oh, it is as well to test everything. Our inspection was not wasted. We then had an interview with MT. Cum ninSham and his son, who were able to point out the exact spot where the murderer had broken through the garden-hedge in his flight. That was of great interest," CT.
 Naturally"
 '"Then we had a look at this poor fellows mother, We could get no in formation from her. however, as she is very old and feeble.'
 And what is the result of your in vestigation? ?''
 'eThe conviction that the crime is a very peculiar one. Perhaps our visit now may do mething to make it less obscure. I think that we are both agreed, Inspector. that the fragment bearing, as it does. the very hour of his death written upon it, is of ex- treme importance"
 ''It should give a clue, MT Holmes ' wrote that note was the man who brought William Kirwan out of his bed at that hour. But where is the rest of that sheet of paper?" 'I examined the ground carefully in the hope of finding it, said the In- spector.
 Ut was torn out of the dead mans hand. Why was some one so anxious to get possession of it? Because it in crimiuated him. And what would he do with it? Thrust it into his pocket, most likely, never noticing that cor ner of it had been left in the grip of the corpse. If we could get the rest of that sheet it is obvious that we should have gone a long ways toward solving the mystery
 'tYes, but how can we get at the criminals pocket before we catch the criminal?''
 Well. well. it was worth thinking over. Then there is another obvious point. The note was sent to William The man who wrote it could not have aiken it; otherwise of course, he might have delivered his own message by word Of mouth Who brought the lote, then? Or did it come through the post?"
 s'I have made inquiries,' said the Inspector. William received let ter by the afternoon post yesterday. The envelope was destroyed by him.
 Excellent" cried Holmes, clap ping the Inspector on the back. You've seen the postman- It is a pleasure to work with you. Well, here is the lodge, and if you will come up, Colonel, I will show you the scene of the crin1e.''
 We passed the pretty cottage where the murdered man had lived, and walked up an oak-lined avenue to the fine old Queen Anne house, which bears the date of MaIplaquet upon the lintSI Of the door. Holmes and the Inspector led us round it until we came to the side gate, which is sepa- rated by Q stretch of garden from the edge which lines the road. A con- stable was standing at the kitchen door.

 Suddenly the nine hundred and fifty dollar order. for clothes stopped being a. mountain and became a mere mo1ehil1. I squeezed NeaPs hand and skipped along at his side, crying:

 Neal twinkled as he seized my el- bow with a proprietary air. Then he led me over to a sunny window giv- ing on the avenue, the window Pat Dalton always chose. We sat down facing each other, and something apart.
