 "Why not?" Barry asked coolly Docs the recital of your own crime bring it back too vividly before. your mind? Woman, you are the mu>der- ess of your own daughter"
 A swift change had come over the countenance of Mrs. Tudor, hide ous, malevolent change which wiped Lfrom it the last semblance of youth and prettiness. She sat rigid, her blue eyes fixed with a sort of mock ing mirth upon those of Barry.
 "There was no thought Of murder in your mind when your niece re- turned from Europe" Barry con tinued. "You felt secure in your coming happiness. but the mind of a woman in love is more keenly in tuitive than at normal times, and within a few days yoV realized some thing which your niece did not dream of---that the man you loved and hoped to marry had turned from you. It was not Fay Tudor alone whom you hated then to the point of mur- der; it was the common enemy of all women of middle life, youth! youth! | You planned to kill her on the night Of the dance, planned to stab her, l think, with the dagger from the hall arrangement of weapons which found concealed in your room an hour ago, and to that end you slipped into the pantry when Louise s attention was engaged elsewhere and ! pit into the hot milk, which the young ladies were to drink. six pow ders of the drug which Miss Fay had brought from Paris for insomnia, a triple dose for each, so that neither would awaken if you entered the room. ."
 "Yo.. meant the affair to look like a suicide. but during the dance you learned from the lips of Professor Semyonov of an easier method, and one practically safe from discovery as you thought. You determined inn mediatey upon it's adoption. and that determination was crystallized by a conversation you overheard upon the
 little porch which opens off the breakfast room. You planned 1t down to the most minute detail, even to the use of the gas mask to save your daughter from harm. After your guests had gone you slipped down here to the hall closet to obtain the keys to the garage from the pocket of your motor coat which hung there. You found there, quite by accident, pair of Miss Pays cast-off slippers, which Louise hoped. to have stretched for her own use, and you managed to put them on, with q tardy thought for possible footprints which might be left on the ground.
 You committed the crime, making the fatal mistake which l have al ready described and which you learned of in the morning when you heard the voice of the very girl you thought you had slain. 1 could find it in my heart to pity you at that mo- ment were it not that you planned
