by no means.H Barry also had
risen. You must realize the strong
circumstantial case against you, but
! do not think you are guilty?"
Barry continued quietly:
'Do you know why? Because ever
since this interrogation, was started,
in spite of the damaging admissions
you made against yourself, you have
deliberately equivocated and evaded,
and ! think / know the reason
Barry's tone softened and deepened.
II believe you did care for Mrs. Vane,
honorably and sincerely, and it is for
that very fact that ask you to tell
US the truth now"
For an instant the young man
hesitated, and then sinking once
more into his chair he buried his face
in his hands.
At last Gordon 'Ladd raised his
head, and upon his white, set face
there was written implacable re-
solve.
"You win, Sergeant Barry! l

ingly rake up anything against the
memory of the woman | loved, even
though she had played mercilessly
with me, only to turn me down IL
revocably in the end, but there's
some mystery about this whole thing
that don't understand, and it may
IN way have some bearing upon
the manner of her death. No breath
of scandal has ever touched her.
Nevertheless, she must have had
some source of income, for her
studio was Injurious almost pala-
tial compared to this-and her. war
work and fits of idleneses which she
INDUCED in later were alike unre-
munerative."
His voice broke. and Sergeant
Barry waited moment before ask
ing:
why did Mrs. Vane return to
America last autumn"
Gordon Ladd shrugged.
"A within of hers, we all thought
we would not have been surprised
had she announced her departure for
China. There was nothing-nothing
definite between US two, you know.

permitted to adore her at a distance.

His voice hardened perceptibly on
the last words and Barry remarked:
IF the report we get on him tallies
with his own account of himself, he
is a highly respectable member of
society"
"0h, know all about him. All
anybody knows, mean. I've looked
him up" Laid cried defantly.
| "What l want to know is this: Why
is he living hidden away in cheap
makeshift studio building like this,
a man with all his money? Why
was she, a brilliant artistic success
content even for day in such sur
roundings after the luxury which
had always been hers? Why did he

surprise, but the shot found its mark.
Leaping to. his feet, with his hand
some face darkened and distorted in
a paroxysin of rage, Ladd cried:
$50 that's what you two have been
trying to get at, is it? That miserable
wretch Griswold has noted my &C

deliberately tried to blacken her

upon the stairs! 1t was he whom /
saw leaving her apartment a mo-
ment before ! entered my own and
the shot was fired which must have
ended her life!'
V
Sergeant Barry felt that the mo-
ment was too tense and the possible
issue too important to give his col
league an important opportunity to
interrupt, Without a glance at Craig
he demanded of the almost distraught
young artist before him:
That being the case, Mr.. Ladd,
tell US the truth of what happened
last night! Why did you go half
way up the flight of stairs leading
to Mrs. Vane's apartment if you
saw her in the hall talking to a
neighbor whom 20 apparently dis
like?"
Mrs. Vane seemed bantering her
departing guest in her usual gay
manner, and he was glowering at
her in a resentful fashion. The mo-
ment he had disappeared up the
stairs and before Mrs. Vane had had
an opportunity to turne and re-enter
her own apartment | called to her,
and-went up to her" His tone had
been more and more uncertain and
now he hurried on: 81 begged for
five minutes of her time, but she
snubbed me laughingly and l re-
turned here"
There was silence for moment,
while Sergeant Craig made no effort
to enter the examination, and Barry
eyed the young man before them
very gravely. At length the more
experienced official spoke:
"Mr. Laid, you have not told us
all the truth! What happened be-
tween those two on the stairs which
made you. rush up to Mrs. Vane,
only to be repulsed. Were you re-
pulsed? Were you not with her, in
her studio, when the deadly shot was
fred?"
At the unexpected accusation the
young man shrank back, then
sprang from his chair.
This is what you in your police

posed to her for the last time, and
when she laughed at me as usual l
must have lost my head and gone a
bit too far, for she told me seriously
at last that she would never be my
wife,"
Gordon Ladd paused, his clenched
hands tightening until the knuckles
showed white.
