"Are you acquainted with any of
the other tenants in the house?"
Barry's abrupt change of topic
evidently astonished her, but she
drew herself up and responded cold

came with almost startling sudden,
ness.

son to think so, and as have told
you, I am not busybody."
every we'll l don't think we'll
trouble the lady any further tonight,
shall we, Sergeant Craig?p Barry
turned formally toward his confrere
who shook his head dumbly.
Miss Shaw opened her lips to
speak, hesitated as though she had
thought better of it and preceded
them with dignity to the door"
Goodnight, gentlemen"
There was just the slightest shade
of pause before the last Word which
lent it irony, and the door closed
with emphasis behind them.
That was one of the things ]
wanted to find out" he responded.
''The professors light is out and

There was little catch in her
breath and then she hurried on: Il

or two Of the spring exhibitions
which contained specimens of her
work. IL admired her and ] was
curious to see her studio, although

day about three weeks ago | was
passing her door just as it opened
and. one of her patrons came out;
the lady whose portrait is there now
in the studio"
YOU mean the one on the easel,
the lady standing on the staircase?"
asked Barry quickly.
"Ycs. I recognized it tonight at a
glance Mrs. Vane stopped me that
day as her visitor left; it was about
a trivial matter, some mail of mine
which she had received" The young
woman halted and passed one hand
across her eyes. eve didn't talk
about anything in particular, and
/ only remained a few minutes, but
she was so nice and unaffected and
and beautiful, too, that my little
call left a deep impression upon
me-

ity and touch of sharpness in
Barry's tones which made Miss
Staw straightcn in her chair.

way" she replied with the first sign
of resentment with she had shown

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY.

The report of a revolver, followed
by hurrylng footsteps on the stairs,
interrupts the social evening which
Detective John Barry is spending
with his friend, Professor Semyonov
in the latter's rooms on the fifth
floor of a New York apartment
house. They rush down stairs and
discover that beautifuFMiriam Vane,
society portrait painter, has been
murdered in her studio apartment on
the third floor. Ladd, young artist
on the second floor, Griswold, an
i1ascible bachelor on the fourth, and
Patricia Shaw, magazine writer on
the sixth, deny having heard the
shot.

co ON WITH THE STORY.

81 wasn't thinking of the door, -
Barry admitted 81 made for the
studio and found the body. You
saw it, of course?"
Craig nodded.
eyes. The Vane woman must
have been painting away at that pic
ture when the shot was fired, for
the paint is still wet on it, but the
stool was overturned so the medical
examiner couldn't tell from the posi-
ton of the body whether she had
been sitting or standing when the
end came; the autopsy'll show that,
| suppose, from the course of the
bullet"
What did the tenants have to say
for themselves"
"Well, the old crouch on the floor
above, Griswold, claims to knoW
nothing about it and care less. Hes
a widower and from what the lads
from the precinct said, | shouldn't
wonder if he's got lot of money; |
don't know why he's living down in
this rickety old house. He swears
he doesn't know the Vane woman
and never exchanged a word with
her.
"The young man down stairs, Cor
don Ladd, admits he knew her
slightly but declares he hasn't seen
her in some time. Then Miss Pa
tricia Shaw, the lady from the top
floor, says she and Mrs. Vane have
spoken to each other once or twice,
in a neighborly sort of way, and the
precinct boys say she seemed all
upset by what had happened. That's
about all they managed to get be-
fore / came"
'1t's facer, amt it?" Craig
asked frankly. ut looks as though
the whole house was in on this affair,
except the professor, of course. Any
thing more you want to. see. here,
John?"
mo, I've seen enough Barry re-
piled with significance which was
lost upon the other. eff you want
me to trail along with you while
you interview the tenants We bet

Cali right, | got you" Craig led
the way to the door. Its past mid
night now and | guess we'll start
with Miss Shaw"
The footsteps had approached
very near the door when Craig
knocked and almost at once the han.
die turned and young woman
stood before them. With her small,

and controlled, but Barry observed
that a muscle in her Jthin cheek
twitched Slightly. She threw the

ton, with cheap mating rugs upon
the uneven, painted floor and the
