screened by tall, Towering shrubs
that we could not see who else might
enter but people were constantly
| passing This is horriblew the pro-
fessor exclaimed.
did you mention also the way
in which the carbon monoxide might
be transferred from the exhaust pipe
of a car to a container, and how it
might be used to asphyXiate people 2"
asked Barry. THAT would, of course,
be the most important part to us.
yes, | did, Professor Semyonov
groaned . Il am an enthusiastic
IDIOT
Barry strolled around the house
to the garage.
Barry found Frank, the chauffeur
busily engaged in cleaning the large
touring car, which together with
Mrs. 1udor's own fast little racer
and the station bus, occupied the
sparce between the gage.
Are these all the cars owned by
the family, Frank?" Barry began
without preamble.
The chauffeur looked up in sur
prise at the sudden query.
Eyes, sir, except for the limousine
which is being oyerhauled in town"
Would you hear if any one start
ed one Of the cars running down here
during the night"
81 should say | wouldw he re-
sponded. Did somebody take one
of these machines out last night for
a JOY ride during the dance?"
Wouldn't you have known if they
had?" Barry retorted.
The chauffeur shook his head
mot last night; wasn't here. Mrs.
Tudor gave me a night off on ac-
count of the dance, and | went to
movie in the village and stayed over
with Pete Whafey, who runs the pub
lie garage. | got home here about
nine o'clock and went straight to the
garage, but lit was all locked up
tight just the way | had left it.
There was'one queer thing, though"
. What was it?' the detective de-
manded as Frank hesitated.
well, it don't hardly seem worth
mentioning, but it struck me just
now as was cleaning the touring
car that there ought to be more
gasoline il the tank, according to
my calculation, than there is" He
shook his head. 81 usually figure it
out pretty close, but / must have
made a mistake just now"
who has the keys to the garage
besides yourself?' Barry changed
the subject abruptly.
Only Mrs. Tudor and poor Miss
Laurel. The locks amt been changed
in three years"
ut rained hard last NIGHT the
detective remarked. "You didn't find
any muddy tracks in here this morn
ing, Frank, did your"
Only my own"' he said. Then
strange, rather confused look came
over his face. Il usually keep my
floor like wax, sir, but l was kind of
hurried last night and didn't hose it
down. didn't find any muddy foot
prints this morning, but | did see
some queer dried smears here and
there, as though someone might have

per.
DO you know if Mrs. Tudor has
been out to the garage today?"
why. no, sir!' Martha stam-
mered. 'The poor lady hasn't been
out of doors except for minute on
the front porch when the coroner
came.
Barry dismissed the subject, and,
asking where the telephone was, he
called up Whaley's garage. Yes,
Frank had slept the night in Pete's
own room, and who the devils bust
ness was it, anyway?
Franks abb was established be-
yond further question.
He walked silently to the front of
the house, and, hearing the voices
of Mrs. Tudor, the sheriff, and Pro-
fessor Semyonov in the library, he
vaulted quickly up the stairs. The
locked door Of the room in which
Laurel had met her death presented
no difficulties to him, and in mo-
ment he had opened it with a skele-
ton key.
The two narrow, empty tumbled
beds, with clothing scattered about
and the breakfast tray with only one

washed up the marks of their tread.
Look here, sir-and herer'
He pointed, and Barry looked
There were clean places on the oily
floor, as though indeed someone had
tried to CD! ,erate their footprints.
Barr werE carefully over every yard
Of space Then he Strengthened and
inquired casually:
How did you first learn of the
trouble up at the house? Did Martha
or another of the maids come out
here to send you for the doctor?"
mo, sir. I'd gone up to the SER
wants dining room to have a cup OF
coffee, and was just sitting down to
it when Martha came flying from
the young ladies' room with her face
as white as a sheet and told me to
go as fast as | could-that Miss Lau-
rel was dead. F"
Barry turned as if to depart. but
at the threshold he dropped his
handkerchief and, STOPPING to re
cover it, turned once more.
by the way, was having a little
discussion with Lieutenant Cadmus a
while ago about the exhaust of mo-
tors in general, and / asked if IA
rubber tube could be attached in
some way to the exhaust pipe on a
car and led out of doors, so that,
when the engine was running the
fumes would escape into the outer
air, lie says it could not be done;
that the pressure Of the exhaust
would force off the rubber tubing.
What do you think?"
"Me?" / think he's a simp!" The
retort came promptly why, I've
seen it done myself 1t was done as
am experiment, just as you said, SER
geant, to see if the fumes could be
driven directly out of the garage. 1t
was extra heavy tubing, Of course,
and had been fastened on pretty
tight, but it held all right"
rs there any extra heavy tubing
of that sort lying about the garage
here?" demanded Barry. His voice
had suddenly sharpened.
"Why, there was some" The
chauffeur looked his wonderment.
1--WE never used it though, and
don't know what has become Of it.
I'll look for it, sir, if you like"
81 wish you would"
lie left and proceeded slowly to the
house. When Frank had drawn his
attention to the cleaned spaces, he
had observed something which had
escaped the others eye: A tiny
rounded spot of mud with an elong-
ated triangle in front of it.
Barry recognized the print of
small, high-heeled slipper, and he
knew that when he had found it and
its owner the search for this sinister
Cinderella would be at an end.
He found Anna the cook, Louise
and Matha all congregated in the
kitchen, and a single glance at their
feet assured him that none of them
could have worn that fairyhke slip

Continued from Our Last Issue.
Certainly. You know the blush
smoke and flame which is sometimes
observed escaping from the exhaust
pipe beneath the rear of the carr"
the professor asked. THAT is car
bon monoxide"
Would it be possible to convey
this carbon monoxide in some way
from the exhaust pipe Of an auto
mobile to a closed room?" Barry's
voice trembled with excitement
"Certaiplyw the professor cX-
claimed, and the sheriff took a step
forward. "A rubber tubing would
convey it directly from the eXhau
pipe into any sort of container,
metal or otherwise. | understand
what you mean, Sergeant Barry, and
it is a most ingenius and practical
theory! The container could be
opened in a closed room and the
carbon monoxide allowed to escape,
or it could directly forced into the
lungs by means Of the rubber tubing
by which it had been introduced from
the exhaust pipe. There have been
more than one case of accidental
death reported in the medical jour
mails, in which chauffeurs, working
in colsed gargese, have been over
come by the fumes and died before
help could reach them. The theory
of the use of gas by burglars i'll
the effort TO render their victims in
sen Bile, has often occurred to me. In
fact

My God! And / unwittingly de-
scribed the very means by which the
murder was committed here in the
house, in the possible hearing of
any of ii score of people who might
have utilized it for their purposew
Your" The cry came simultane-
ously from the coroner and the
sheriff, while Lieutenant Cadmus
started forward.
YES. l mentioned this matter
at the dance
Where did you hold this CONVEX
sation?" the sheriff demanded. I'm

In a corner of the library, and to
my hostess. We were closely

spite the damning revelation Barry
felt an odd impulse of conjunction.
She appeared so small and frail, yet
he, as we'll as everybody else in San
dy Cove had heard of the fortitude
and courage she had displayed during
her two years of unceasing service.
Could that courage and fortitude
turn into implacable relentlessness
under the urge of reckless passion
and a desire for revenge against the
