/ had passed the day in the open He
dined with a good appetite Ike a
man in health. And there was a
change in his demeanor. He had
the aspect Of men who are deter
mined TO have a thing out al any
hazard
After his dinner the Master went

door behind him. He had not en-
tered the room on this day. II had
stood locked and close -shuttered!"

a gesture outward with his fingers.

mo living human being could
have been concealed in that room.
There is. only the bare floor, the
Masters table and the fireplace. The
great wood shutters were bolted in.
as they had stood since the Master
took the room for a workshop and
removed the furniture The door
was always locked~with that special
fhief-proof lock that the American
smiths had made for IL. No one
could have entered"
Il was the report of the experts at
the trial They showed bv the cas-
ing Of rust on the bolts that the
shutters had not been moved: the
walls. ceiling and floors were undis- !
turbed; the throat OF the chimney
was coated evenly with old soot |
Only the door was possible as an
entry. and this was always locked
except when Rodman was himself in /
the room. And at such times the
big Oriental never left his post in the ,

The conclusion was inevitab BILE There /
was no human creature on that

Rodman and his servant.
But one can see why the trial
judge kept at the thing: he was
seeking an explanation consistent ,
with the common experience Of /
mankind And when he could not

could do. He was wrong, as We
