(Which DO you think he is, Mr..
Dillingham; said Cayley, looking at

MARK? Us absurd said Bill im-
! pctuously.
Bills loyal, you see, Mr., Caylcy.'
and you owe no loyalty to any
one conccrucd?"
Exactly. So perhaps | might be
too frank"
Bill had dropped down on the
grass, and CayIey took his place on
the seat, at sat there heavily, his
elbows on his knees, his chin on his
hands, gazing at the ground.
Il want you to be quite frank he
said at last NATURALLY | am pre-
JUDGED where Mark is concerned
SO | want to know how my sugges-
ton strikes You - who have no
! prejudices either way"
Your SUGGESTION"
"My theory that, if Mark killed his
brother, it was purely accidental-as
told the inspector"
Bill looked up with interest.
you mean that Robert did the
hold-up business" he said, 'and
there was a bit of a struggle, and
the revolver went off, and then Mark
lost his head and bolted? That sort
Of idea?"
Exactly"
"Well, that seems all right" He
turned to Antony. There's nothing
wrong with that, is there? It's the
most natural explanation to anyone
who knows Mark" =
Antony pulled at his pipe.
81 suppose it is" he said slowly.
But there's one thing that worries
me rather"
Whats that?" Bill and Cayley
asked the question simultaneously.
''Thc key"
"rhe key?" said Bill,
Cayley lifted his head aud looked
at Antony. "What about the key?"
he asked.
"Well, there may be nothing in it !;
| Just wondered. Suppose Robert
was killed as you say, and suppose
Mark lost his head and thought Of
nothing but getting away before any
one could see him. Well, very likely
he'd lock the door and put the key
in his pocket. He'd do it without
thinking, just to gain a moments
time" III
Yes, that's. what | suggest
Eyes, that's All right if the key is
there. But suppose it isn't there? ?"
The suggestion, made as if it were
already an established fact, startled
them both.
What do you mean?" said Cay
ley.
Well, it's just a question Of where
people happen to keep their keys.
you so up to your bedroom, and per-
haps you like to lock your door in
case anybody comes wandering in
when you've only got one sock and
a pair of braces on. Well, that's
natural enough. But downstairs
people don't lock themselves in. It's
really never done at all. Bill, for
instance, has never locked himself
into the dining-room in order to he
alone with the sherry. On the other
hand, all women, and particularly
servants, have horror of burglars
And if burglar gets in by the win
dow, they like to limit his activities
to that particular room. SO they
keep the keys on the outside of the
doors and lock the doors when they
go to bed" He knocked the ashes
out of his pipe, and added, "At least,

my mother always used to-"
You mean" said Bill excitedly,
that the key was on the outside Of
the door when Mark went into the
room "
Wei, | was just wondering"
Have you noticed the other rooms
the billiard-room, and library, and
so on?" said Cayley.
1--WE only just thought about it
while I've been sitting out here You
live here-haven't you ever noticed
them?"
Cayley sat considering, with his
head on one side.

TWO DIsAIIssALS FROM THE
 NAVAL ACADEMY FOR HAZINC

Washington. Dec. -Midshipman Bruce H. Robinson, appointed from Arizona, and Stuart H. Hawkins, ap- pointed from Massachusetts, were order ed dismissed from the Naval Academy today, President Harding having approv- ed court martial sentences resulting from the recent haZing cases at the academy.
 On recommendation of Secretary Den by, the president approved modification of dismissal in the cases of Midshipmen Thomas J. Casey, Massachusetts Thom- as E. Boyce, Indiana; and H. c. Fish, New York, to loss of ono year each in their academy courses. The accumulated hazfng cases at the academy were taken up with the pres ident today by Secretary Denby and his recommendations approver throughout Other cases of a similar nature await final action.
 The dismissal from the academy of Nidshipmen Robinson, whose home is in Chandler, Ariz., results from his court martial for hazing Midshipman William | H. McGregor of Pennsylvania, who was | taken to the academy hospital for treat ment afterward. The other cases bear on different hazing incidents, but the 1 dismissal of Midshipman Hawkins alsd 1 is one of tbase in which physical injury or excessive humiliation was caused to the man hazed.
 The three cases where the command ant of the academy recommended dis rnissal but the department modified pun l ishment to the loss of year in stand 1 ing involved charges of neglect of duty | in that these midshipmen were Fir i charge of tables at which the midship'
 men we're hazed," according to the de-
 partment's announcement.
 Action in these cases represents de partmental policy under which the anti
 hazing law is to be enforced rigidl1
 where physical violence is a portion 0 the hazing incident or where there ha
 been an attempt to cause public humili ation of the under-classman.
 It is apparent that the departmen Imakes a distinction between hazing 0
 this character and those hazing prac
 tices which have no harmful results.
