"Well, we'd better go and see." He
considered the windows for a mo-
ment. 81 should think, If you put
your weight into it. just where they
join. they'll give all right"
Cayley put his weight into it. The
window gave, and they went into the
room. Cayley walked quickly to the
body, and dropped on his knees by
it. With an effort he put a hand on
to it's shoulder and pulled it over.
Thank God!" he murmured, and
let the body go again.
"Who is it?" said Antony.
Robert Albeit"
"oh!" said Antony. II thought
his name was Mark
Eyes, Mark Albeit lives here.
Robert is his brother" He shudder-
ed, and said, II was afraid it was

"Was Mark in the room too?"
yes" said Cayley absently. An
tony had gone to the locked door,
and was turning the handle. II sup
pose he put the key in his pocket"
he said, as he came back to the body
again.
"Who 2"
Antony shrugged his shoulders.
Whoever did this" he said, point
ing to the man on the floor. us he
dead?"
Help me-" said Cayley simply.
They turned the body on to its
back, nerving themselves to look at
1t. Robert Albeit had been shot be-
tween the eyes.
Did you know him well?" said
Antony quietly. He meant. "Were
you fond of him 2"
Hardly at all. Mark is the
brother I know best. He hesitated,
and then said, Perhaps ia better
get some water"
There was another door opposite
to the locked one, which led, as An
tony was to discover for himself di-
rectly. into a passage from which
opened two more rooms. Cayley
stepped into the passage and opened
the door on the right. The door from
the Office, through which he had
gone, remained open. The door at
the end of the short passage was
shut. Antony, kneeling by the body,
followed Cayley with his eyes and,
after he had disappeared, kept his
eyes on the blank wall of the pas
sage, but he was not conscious of
that at which he was looking, for
his mind was with the other man,
sympathizing with him.
Cayley came into the room again
murmured something, and knelt
down to battle the dead mans face.
Then he placed the handkerchief
over it.
They stood up and looked at each
other.
IF I can be of any help to you"
said Antony, "please let me-"
That's very kind of YOU. There
will be things to do. But you mustn't
let me trespass on your Kindness"

Antony a timid little smile, pathetic

"Of course" Antony smiled back

at him, and said cheerfully. 'Well,
then. I'll begin by suggesting that
you should ring up the police"
1.-THE police? Yves" He looked
doubtfully at the other. 81 sup
pose
Antony spoke frankly.
Nov, look here, Mr.-er-"
"Cayley. I'm Mark Ablett's cou-
sin. I live with him."
MY names Dillingham;. I'm sorry.
I ought to have told you before. Well
now, Mr.. Cayley, we shan't do any
good by pretending. Here's a man
him."
Cayley shrugged his shoulders
and went to the telephone.
MAY I-er-look round a bit 2"
Antony nodded toward the open
door.
"Oh, do. Yes" He sat down and
drew the telephone toward him.
you must make allowances for me,
Mr.. Gillingham. OF course, you're
quite right, and I'm merely being
stupid" He took off the receiver.
Let us suppose that, for the pur-
pose of making a first acquaintance
with this "office,' we are coming
into it from the hall, through the
door which is now locked. AS we
stand just inside the door, the length
of the room runs right and left.
Across the breadth of the room
(some fifteen. feet). is that other
door, by which Cayley went out and
returned a few minutes ago. In the
right-hand wall, thirty feet away
from US, are the French windows.
Crossing the room and going out by
the opposite door, we come into a
passage, from which two rooms
lead.
The one on the right, into which
Cayley went, is less than half the
length of the office, a small, square
room, which has evidently been used
some time or other as a bedroom.
The window faces the same way as
the French windows in the next
room.
The room on the other side of the
bedroom is a bathroom. The three
rooms together, in fact, form a sort
of private suite.
room. The window was open, and
he looked out at the peaceful
stretch of park.
"Cayley thinks he did it, said An
tony to himself. "That's obvious.
1t explains why he wasted so much
time banging on the door. Why
should he try to break a lock when
It's SO much easier to break a win
dow? OF course, he might just have
lost his head; on the other hand. he
might have wanted to give his coil-
sin a chance of getting away. Why
did we run all the way round the
house In order to get to the win
dows?"
There was a step in the passage
outside, and he turned round, to see
Cayley in the doorway. He remained
looking at him for a moment, ask
Ing himself a question. 1t was
rather a curious question. He was
asking himself why the door was
open.
Well. not exactly why the door
was open; that could be explained
easily enough. But why had he ex-
pected the door to be shut. He did
no remember shutting it, but some
how he was surprised to see it open
now, to see Cayley through the door
way, just coming into the room.
Something working sub-consciously
in his brain had told him that it was
surprising. Why?
Cayley Joined him at the window.
1--WE telephoned," he said.
They're sending an inspector or
some mi from Middleston, and the
local police and doctor from STAN
ton"
Antony felt quite sure, from what
Cayley had said and had hesitated
to say, that Mark had been the last
to see his brother alive. 1t didn't fol-
low that Mark Albeit was a muir
derer. Revolvers go off accidentally;

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY


The prospective visit of a ne'er-
do-well brother, who had been alb
sent for fifteen years in Australia,
was a FAR from pleasing prospect to
MARK ALBEIT, bachelor proprie-
tor of The Red House, Mark and
his constant companion,
MATT CAYLEY. remained in The
Red House awaiting the arrival
of the brother,
ROBERT, while the house-party
guests were away playing golf.
When Robert appeared the par
lor-maid, startled by his rough ap-
pearance, ushered him into Marks
Office and went to inform her mas
ter. Mark was not in the garden
and when the maid returned to the
house she heard the report of a re-
volver and then the sound of Cay
ley pounding on the locked office
door and demanding admittance.
This was the state of affairs when
ANTONY GILLINGHAM, a youth
full gentleman adventurer, arrived.
GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER III
Cayley looked round suddenly at
the voice.
Can 1 help? 2" said Antony polite
ly.
Something's happened" said
Cayley. He was breathing quickly.
Il heard a shot. 1 was in the iii
brary. A loud bang. And the doors

why should he open it just because

Cayley turned to the door again.
I'VE must break 1t in" he said. put
ting his shoulder to it.
isn't there a Window"
"Window? Window?
$50 much easier to break in a
window" said Antony with a smile.
He looked very cool and collected, as
he stood just outside the hall, lean
ing on his stick.
"Window-of course! What an
idiot 1 am"
He pushed past Antony, and be-
gan running out into the drive. An
tony followed him. They ran along
to the front of the house, down a
path to the left, and then to the left
again owe the grass, Cayley in
front, the other close behind him.
Suddenly Cayley looked over his
shoulder and pulled up short.
"Here," he said.
They had come to the windows of
the locked room, French windows
which opened on to the lawns at the
back of the house. But now they
were closed. Antony couldn't help
feeling a thrill of excitement as he
followed Cayley's example, and put
his fact close up to the glass. But
If there had beer one shot, why
should there not be two more?-at
the careless fools who were press
Ing their noses against the panes,

my God, can you see it?" said
Cayley in a shaking voice.
The next moment Antony saw 1t.
A man was lying on the foo at the
far end of the room, his back to-
ward them.
.'Who is it?'' said Antony.

Salem Boy
TOCOnne In
Lightnin'

In a recent dispatch from the
east comes the pleasing, informa-
tion that Frank Bacon and his
vehicle 'Lightnin' will come
west sometime during the coming
year. This, of course, means that
after a record breaking run on
Broadway, Oregon folk are going
to see one of their own boys who
has made good in the dramatic
world-Paul Stahl, a former Sa-
lem youngster.
Playing next to the lead, taken
by Frank Bacon, Mr.. Stahl has
played nightly in this well known
play, which has seen pretty close
to two thousand performances.
Older Salemites remember
young Stahl, who it seems, was
but yesterday doing his sums in
the Salem grade schools. Later he
finished his education in the
Krapps' Normal school.
And after that he went te
Portland, where he gained hi;
first encouragement in connection
with his dramatic ambition
from kindly David Warfield, VIII,
was on the road in THE Music
Master" The latter gave Mr.
Stahl his eastern address, which
