CHAPTER XIX

What was the first thing put you
on the right track, Owen lad?" Scottie
puffed contentedly on his pipe.
II think it was Andrew himself"
Miles responded. ''It struck me as
odd in my first talk with Wells and
little Miss Patricia that Hobart and
Roger should both have made public
exhibitions of themselves, but An
drew's fit of supposed insanity took
place safe at home, for the benefit of
one OF the servants alone.
when I had made up my mind
that insanity played no part in the
strange events the only alternative to
consider was blackmail, and it must
have been for some indiscretion OF
even crime committed in the far past.
Right then the solution was in my
grasp for you had learned that in
their youth Roger had been interested
in chemistry. dyeing and in photog-
raphy, that Hobart was pen-and.

time in a pulp manufacturing rlant
The old chest of metal junk which we
carted away from under the floor of
the summer house and destroyed the
morning after we wound up the case,
Scottie, did not contain the remains
of a printing press, as you surmised
but the relic of a machine for making
a replica of the silk threaded paper the
Government uses for genuine green
backs and had been on original in
vention of the real Andrew.
"It didn't come to me even then
that the truth was staring me IN the
face until you brought me that $40

it was counterfeit. It was scorched

would not have descended upon us.
She had known from the start what
her brothers were doing. None of
her brothers knew until just before
the explosion came that she had been
wise all the time; hey thought she
believed that mythical tale Of an in
heritanCe and I could kick myself for
accepting it without verification, but
Wells had taken it for granted and
so did Iv'
Its no worse than meP' Scottie re-
marked consolingly. Why didn't l
see that tattoo mark on Andrews arm
when he took off his coat there in the
garden just before Miss Hawks ap-
peared? To be sure, my back was to
him but I was there to keep my eyes
on him and everybody. How did you
first guess that the Hawks woman
knew Andrew for an impOstor?"
IT happened to be in the hall when
she ran out Of the house like a mad
woman after a tete-a-tete with An
drew and the next minute he upset
the table and scalded his arm. 1t
wasn't a bad burn. and 1t occurred
to me that it was just an excuse for
a bandager'
Miles face sobered. Cray was
the real brains of the scheme. 1t
was he who wrote that devilishly sa-
tirical lecture and forced poor Roger
by anonymous threats to deliver IT;
he who wrote the other anonymous
letters, one OF which he slipped into
the house by means OF a French
window which Andrew had left open
for him and left on the hall table
the night Of my arrival to be mixed
with the mail next morning, when
I concluded It was some member Of
the household. He disguised his
voice for the telephone threats which
SO agitated the family, but he can
not figure out how Roger Drake pene-
trated his habItual disguise"
Roger did. them" asked tho other.
"Oh. yes. 1t was the shock OF that
which caused his stroke.
Gray had sort of half-labora-
tory back Of his cottage and he was
puttering about In It when Roger
called. Just as he approached, Gary
removed hts wig-and Roger saw that
the elderly naturalist was really
young man in disguise. The logical
reason for 1t came over him with a
rush and his only thought was to
get home and warn his brothers, but
he was stricken with the word IN
uttered upon his lips.
Miles rose. THAT pa. rus was Gu
rious, wasn't it7'
"It was an example OF remarkably
poor judgment on Rogers part. pic
ture writing or no. If It was as you
said, a complete record of the way
they made their counterfeit money" ."
remarked ScOttie.
1T was more than that, an exan-
pie Of the Drake conscience working
overtime" replied Miles. Roger had
designed it in the nature OF a con-
fession and meant to leave It on his
death to his intimate friend. Professor
Masterson. though when Osborne ran
sacked the storeroom he hoped to find
something more tangible"
There is one thing that still is
dark to me-" Scott1e pulled at his
pipe. and finding It dead laid It on
the mantel. How did Osborne and
his confederate know that the paper
making machine was buried under the
summer house7"
They only knew It was hidden
somewhere, for the real Andrew
must have talked a bit moro in his
dying rawlings than Osborne told and
I fancy they hoped to find the whole
paraphernalla so that they could
make some more of the queer and
shove it themselves"

his ears up in the air when he wants

FASHION HINTS
By REDDA HOYT
For the United Press

NEW YORK-The newest dresses
have skirts that are draped tightly
about the figure, and caught at tho
left side by an ornament or buckle,
from which long draperies hang al
most to the floor.
Black lace over silver cloth or over
old gold metallic cloth promises to
be one Of the. foremost dancing types
for winter.
Knitted one-piece bathing suits cut
very much like the mems suits, with
a white belt about the waist. are seen
more than any other style on the
beaches about New York. Either the
wool must shrink considerably after
e hits the water or these suits are
made extremely short, for one is at

Marriage a la Mode

The weeks preceding her mar
riage are usually full of social
functions for the American bride,
but not 81 for the brides In some
parts of China
Sometimes for weeks before
stheir marriage they are absolutely
isolated from any society. Often
they are not permitted to see their
prospective husbands between the
time of the betrothal and the wed
ding day.

Headgear Outdoors

The soft crowned khaki colored hat
with the turned-up brim goes nicely
with the outing suit as the brim may
be turned down to ward of the sun.
Lately the khaki bandana, figured
in brown and red, has found favor
with automobile tourists as it holds the
hair in place besides being attractive
when wrapped about the head and tied
in loose-end knot.

POcahOntas Marble.

There is sufficient marble in the hills
OF Pocahontas county, w. Va, to sup
ply the needs of the entire world for
generations to come. and the quality
of the stone is unequaled in any part
OF the country, according to the report
OF George G.. Underhill, famed geol-
ogist of Vermont, made to the owners
Of the land more than twenty years
ago.
The deposit Of marble at Hllsboro,
near Warrington, recently came to pub
lie attention through efforts of Poca-
hontas county citizens To have the
Capitol Commission construct the new
State capitol with the native West
Virginia stone. The West Virginia
marble is within easy access of rail
roads and it is divided into two quail
ties. The geologist said the cred and
maroon marble are counterparts al
most OF the marble found in Hawkins
county, Tenn, and in Swanton. VT.
both valuable and much sought after"
Speaking of the dove grey varieties,
he said they have no counterpart., add
ing that "this marble is at once chaste
and rich and would find ready mar
ket wherever beauty is appreciated"
Let us hope that the new State
House may be built of native stone
and that stone be Pocahontas Marble
Exchange.
