only to be repuised. Were you re-
pulsed? Were you not with her in
her studio. when the deadly shot was
fired?"
At the unexpected accusation the
young man shrank back, then
sprang from his chair.
This is what you in you police
slang call a frame up ist't 1t?
You've got tt hang the-the murder
on I suppose. and so / am
to be the goat?"~
by no means" Barry also had
risen. You must realize the strong
circumstantial case against you. but
I do not think you are guilty"
Barry contfnn ed quietly: ,
do you know why? Because ever
since this Interrogation was sta tied.
In spite of the damaging admissions
you made against yourself you have
deliberately equivocated and evaded
and I think I know the reason
Barry's tone softened and deepened.
II believe 20 l did care for Mrs. Vane
honorably and sincerely. and 1t is for
that very fact hat I ask yol to tell
us the truth now"
For an instant the young man
hesitated, and then sinking once
more into his chair he buried his face
in his hands.
At last Gordon Ladd raised his
head, and upon his white. set face
there was written implacable re-
solve.
You win. Sergeant Barry! I
would die myself before I would will
lingly rake up anything against the
memory OF the woman 7 loved even
though she had played mercilessly
with me, only to turn me down ir-
%revocably in the end. but there's
some mystery about this whole thing
| that I don't understand. and it may
10 a way have some bearing upon
tie manner of her death. No breath
of scandal has ever touched her.
Nevertheless, she must have had
some source of income, for her
studio was luxurious-almost pala-
tial compared to this-and her war
work and fits of idleness which she
INDUCED in later were alike unre-
munerative."
His voice broke and Sergeant
Barry waited a moment before ask
ing:
"why did Mrs. Vane return to
America last autumn"
Gordon Ladd shrugged.
"a within Of hers we all thought;
had she announced her departure for
China. There was nothing-nothine
definite between us two. W know

He paused significantly while
Sergeant Craig stared at him in
genuine surprise, but the shot found
its mark. Leaping to his feet. with
his handsome face darkened and
distorted in a paroxysm of rage.
Laid cried.
so that's what you two have
been trying to get at, is it? That
miserable wretch Grisweld has
noted my acquaintanceship with
Mrs. Vane and deliberately tried to
blacken her character in your eyes,
/ admit that l was In love with her:
all our world in Paris as well as

to make her my wife, but they will
also tell you that she has laughed

said nothing, but now that he has
spoken, ask him what claim he has
upon her. gentlemen, for I lied 20
you'll! / did see someone upon the
stairs! 1t was he whom I saw leav-
ing her apartment a moment before
I entered my own and the shot was
fired which must have ended her
life."
Sergeant Barry felt that the
moment was too tense and the pos
sible issue o important to give his
colleague an opportunity to inter-
rupt. Without a glance at Craig he
demanded of the almost distraught
young artist before him:
THAT being the case. Mr.. Ladd.
| tell us the truth of what happened
last night! Why did you go half
way up the flight of stairs leading
to Mrs. Vane's apartment If you
saw her in the hall talking to a
neighbor whom you apparently dis
like? ?"
"Mrs. Vane seemed bantering her
departing guest in her usual gay
manner, and he was glowering at
her in n resentful fashion. The mo-
ment he had disappeared up the
| stairs and before Mrs. Vane had had
an opportunity to turn and re-enter
her own apartment / called to her,
and-went up to her." His tone had
been more and more uncertain and
now he hurried on: II begged for
five minutes of her time. but she
snubbed me laughingly and l re-
turned here"
There was silence for a moment.
while Sergeant Craig made no effort
to enter the examination. and Barry
eyed the young man before them
very gravely. At length the more
experienced official spoke:
"Mr. Ladd. you have not told us
all the truth! What happened be-
tween those two\on the stairs which
made you rush up to Mrs. Vane.

on the last words and Barry re-
marked:

is a highly respectable member of
