The girls slender figure did not
resemble the splendid, sensuously
full lines of the body Of Mrs. Vane
save in its height, and the face was
an indistinguishable blur, but on a
sudden inspiration Barry rose, still
carrying the picture, and going into
the studio he turned on the brilliant
light within the reflector. Then he
drew from his pocket small but
powerful miscroscope. 1t proved of
. little aid beyond showing that the
blurred object by the girls side was
indeed large dog, for the photo
graph was too worn and faded, but
on the reverse side the distinction
between the pencil marks and pen
scratches was plainly visible, and
three words written in a round,
girlishly uniformed hand were I'M
mistakably revealed:
"Mopus would move"
Then, standing almost on the
same spot which the body of Miriam
Vane had occupied in front of the
easel, Barry used his microscope to
scan every inch of the portrait with
meticulous care.
Strengthening at length with a
very grave expression upon his boy
ish countenance, he switched off the
glazing light in the reflector, leaving
only the side brackets in the wall
glowing softly, and crossing behind
the portrait he passed the model
throne and went to the row Of win
dows.
When he raised the shade of one
of them the empty house beyond the
narrow strip of garden stood out
more distinctly than before and
grayish effulgence was spreading
over the cloudy sky. The sultry
summer dawn was at hand.
Dropping the shade; once more,
Barry turned and reflectively re-
garded the back Of the portrait upon
the easel. The huge square of cam
vas was blank except for some num-

He found at headquarters that
Craig had already turned in his re-
port, and the chief was awaiting his
own appearance with ill-concealed
Impotence.
What do you Think" the chief
asked.
fAs to the identity of the muir
derer, sir?" Barry asked, cautiously.
"I'm quite certain that several peo-
pie who might conceivably have
killed Mrs. Vane did not do it, and
that lets me out for the moment.
However, | took it upon myself to
do little unofficial investigating"
"Of course. That's what ex-
pected you to dov' the chief inter
rupted eagerly. 1.-The medical ex-
aminer hasn't performed the au-
topsy yet, naturally, but from his
account of the affair as well as the
reports of the boys from the local
precinct, and Boyle and Craig, it
appears that the Vane woman was
shot by some visitor, someone she
knew well, and that she had no pre-
monition of the attack. There's one
queer point about the murder that
the press is bound to pounce on and
play up big, and yet / can't see any
explanation; | thought perhaps you
might have some idea"
"What is that, sir?" Barry's tone
was guileless.
There were no powder marks on
the woman'S mock. and the medical
examiner says that the shot must
have been fired from distance of
several feet at least"
The chief paused. ''Now, accord
ing to Boyle's report, Professor Sem
yonov stated that when you and he
heard the sound of the shot and
opened the door he heard footsteps
on the stairs"
Sergeant Barry smiled.
THE professor and / have a slight
difference of opinion about the direc-
tion of the sound of those footsteps;
he believes that they were coming
up, while | am quite as certain that
they were descending" he said.
However, that's not the main point.
You are wrong, / think, sir, though
not in the way you mean. That
step on the stairs had everything to
do with the murder"

his chair.
