StuQlO TOT three WeekS.
 co ON WITH THE STORY S"Let's have talk, then, with the affaDle gentleman on the floor De- low" Barry suggested. 'Iil wager ke won't take so lcng this time to answer a summons!"
 The unmusical snores still sounded from the rear of Henry GrIswoid s. apartment as they reac.cd n;s tioor, but with a word to the officer on guard, Barry knocked peremptorily Cn the door and announced in loud tones:
 "Police headquarters. Sergeant, if he doesn't open the door in tnree nm tues, break it down."
 The snoring ceased instantly Tn a sound between a squeal and a grunt. The next moment there came rattle ot bolts and the door was flung open to disclose Griswold's lanky frame clad in a scant nightshirt, with a skulicap upon his grIZZled head.
 What the devil do you mean?" he 1 began, furiously, but Craig, at ges- [ ture from Barry, stepped rorw.ru. I'm the detective assigned from headquarters to investigate the mur- der on the floor below you here to- i night, sir, and I'd like a word with 1 .ou,' he said gr'uffly. If you don't want to answer my questions I'll call i the wagon, and you can come down town and talk to the chief" Well shut the door behind you, both of you, unless you want to cal | in the whole police department! ex- | claimed GriswOld.

 Do you know any of the other oc- 1 cupants of this house?" l Personally, no, and l do not want ' to-" retorted Griswold. T have no 1 use for any of them,"
 You did not, then, know Mrs. | Vane!"
 Most assuredly not, I never spoke to the woman in my life!" There was ] outraged dignity an the disclai ner Not that l am aware of anything Lo her discredit, but I know nothing ! about her at all"
 What can you tell me of the other tenants here ?"' Craig askeu. Griswold licked his thin lips avidly as though over>a choice morsel of gos sip. The young man Eaci mas gre quently called upon Mrs. Vane. and at least once have seen Miss Shaw issuing from her apartments.' l From Mrs. Vane's, you mean?' Barry interposed quickly. When wa; that About three weeks ago!' i Three days ago!" corrected Gris wold with emphasis.
