LONDON, May 30.-The cabi-
net was called today for discus
sion of the Irish difficulty. The
government's legal advisors are
said to have expressed a definite
opinion that the agreement
reached last week in Dublin be-
tween the factions headed by
Michael Collins and Eamon De
Valera is inconsistent with the
Anglo-Irish treaty.
Fighting ON the Ulster border
has manifestly been complicating
matters. Ulster members of the
imperial parliament and sympa-
thizers believe the Southern Irish
are preparing for war against the
i north on a large scale 1t is

munitiOn factories controlled by
the dali minister of defense are
manufacturing war materials un-

Heavy firing occurred on the
TyrOn-Donegal border at Stra-
bane and Lifford between mid
night and 7 o'clock this morning,
says a Central News dispatch
from Strabane. Sniping from
roofs of houses continues. Ar
mOred cars and machine guns are
in action. The people of both
towns were up all night long in
a state of terror. Casualties were
reported heavy.

him on the shoulder. "There won't

accepted gravely.

note myself.-Goodby, sir"
He drove speedily back to the
Drake estate and around to the gar
age to put up the car. AS Miles de-
scended from the car he beheld a
battle-scarred tom-cat clawing to
reach a plate of stale meat on high
shelf, and an inspiration came TO
him. Taking the envelope from his
pocket containing the five tablets, he
selected one of them and, rolling i
in a small piece of meat he dropped
it on TIE floor. With a growl the cat
bounced upon it. For a moment the

CHAPTER V.

CHATTER '.
Carter was i'll the following morn
lng-a touch Of sciatica-and the
new houseman was forced to assume
the more complex duties.
Under the kindly guidance OF
Pierre. he finished arranging the
table for breakfast and then remem-
bered the mai. When he had
cleaned the lower hall a short time
before it had not arrived, but now
small heap of letters and rolled
circulars and periodicals lay upon the
table and he sorted them rapidly.
There was nothing for Andrew
Drake nor Miss Patricia, but for
midable pile OF correspondence
awaited Roger and several letters
were addressed to Miss Jerusha.
There was only one envelope to
place beside Hobart brakes plate.
Miles noted idly that it was plain,
with typed address and New
York City pOstmark. Then he hur-
ried out and returned with the fruit
just as the elder Miss Drake en-
tered.
Good morning, William" She in
cllned her gray head formally. Il
see you have made a good beginning.
Mehltabel, my maid, tells me that
Carter is Ill md you have assumed
his duties"
The three brothers entered almost
together and took their places with
pcrtunctory greeting to Their
sister. Roger seemed dropping ana
shaken and his drawn, young-old
face paled as his glance fell on the
heap of correspondence beside his
plate. He pushed it aside with a
gesture of horror and Andrew re-
marked:
More scientific criticism, l sup
poser Throw it all in the fire, old
man, and don't bother your lead
about itp'
Patricia's entrance created a break
in the. tenseness of the atmosphere,
and she eyed the detective in
startled, confused recognition, but
ms expression was bland until ~
reached the shelter of the pantry to
which her gaze had followed him,
when he risked quick nod of warn
ing and reinsurance. A slight flush
sutfused her face and she turned to
her father, only to exclaim in amaze
ment and alarm:
Daddy! What is it,"
Only Miss Drake was silent but
her eyes were fixed with burning in
tensity upon the empurpled counte-
nance of her youngest brother as he
brought his fist, clenching his soil
tary letter, down violently upon the
table.

CHAPTER VI

It was close to midnight when a
stock figure enveloped in a heavy
ulster wormed its way through a gap
in the hedge and started circuitou3
course about the Drake house.
A faint glimmer showed on the
third floor and silhoUCttcd against
the dim patch of light appeared the
profile of a man. The watcher be-
low picked up a handful Of loose
gravel which he flung against the
window.
Almost instantly the light was ex-
tinguished, there came the slight,
grating sound of a carefully raised
sash, and the tiny spark of Gig
aret cleaned just above the sill. A
low, pecunar whistle emanated from
the lips of the nocturnal visitor and
the cigaret, describing a wide are,
fell uponsth the lawn almost at his feet

co ON WITH STORY.

You're talking like an ass ana
worse-a coward! Andrew inter-
rurted with sudden, subdued fury
"Jerrys' all right but you've forgot
ten hObart's girl! Could she 1--we
down the fact that her uncle was a
suicide?"
You know what chance we have
of averting what is coming" Roger
laGghed in a strained falsetto which
made the listening detective shudder
IN spite of himself and there was
quick movement WITHIN the room
Pat had better live with the knowl-
edge that one or other of her UNI
cies-and ner 1aUner as weil-nad
died by their own hands than that
all three of them were"
Here! None of that" Andrew
cried. He had evidently thrown eau
ton to the winds for his tones had
risen to a below and door opened
down the hall. Miles retreatcd has
tily toward his screening corner OF
the wall near the back stairs but not
before the sound of sharp struggle
came from the room where the
brothers were, followed by an oath
and the Jingle and crash of shatter-
ed glass.
At the thought Miles spran9
downstairs and darting out the win
dow he concealed himself in the
shadow of one of the great pillars.
No one was in sight. Leaping from
the porch he ran around the rear Of
the house to the other side. The
pantry was dark now but the two
faint patches of light from Rogers
room still fell upon the sparse grass
OF last years lawn. In the glow of
the farther one, something glistened
like a handful of diamonds.
Broken glass! he had anticipated
a pistol or perhaps even knife of
some sort but not a bottle!
Throwing himself flat upon his
face the detective writhed inch by

man for himself when you stand with
your back against the wall, and Pm
going to fight"'
He strobe from the room with the
open letter still in his hand and they
heard the library door close behind
him and the key turn in the lock.
The meal ended shortly and Miles
was clearing away the dishes and sill
Yer when he observed that the envel-
Ope of the letter which had caused
Hobart Drake such agitation was
still lying where he had dropped it,
on the floor beside his char. He
