You didl And took no steps to prevent it! You're nice detective, where'd she go?"
 Where's Lockwood?" was Stones laconic response.
 'LockwoodV exclaimed Trask. | Wherever he is, he hasn't run off 1 with Anita Austin If he has-by love, I'll break every home in his body"
 You'll have to catch him first" smiled the detective.
 I'll catch him! I'll set you to do 1t. And, looly here, if she's gone off with that man, you can go ahead and catch her. catch them both, and then go ahead and prove her guilty"
 "Is she7"
 "1s she? You bet she Is! And I | know it."
 How do you know7"
 "Ill tell you. I know her eye
 "so do I know her eyebrows. But 1 they don't tell me shes a murderer" l Well, they tell me thatl It's thls way. Her eyebrows are not only heavy and dark, but they almost meet oYor csM bridge of her nose." | Darling nCse!" put in Fibsy, who was interested in Anita, but not in Trask's deductions.
 1 Does your knowledge of physiog- nomy tell you that those meeting eye brows are a sign of a criminal?" asked Stone.
 are the Truesdeu brows."
 The Truesden brows?" Stone raised his own. Sounds like a proprietary article. Not artificial. are theyF'
 [ eyebrows are frequently seen In the 1 Truesdeu family. My grandfather's 1 brother married a TruesdeH." Your grandfather's brother mar ried a Truesdell. And your own ! grandfather dldn't7"
 NO: I haven't those brows."
 Well. you're not entitled to them. having no TrEesdell blood in youy veins"
 "But the girl has" Indeed! Interesting. Is it notr LAW, come off that line O talk, F. s." said Fibsy. knitting his brows, which were not Truesdellian. I'm seein' chink O light. The brother of your grandfather, now, MT. Trask. l he was named-?" l "Waring, cf course. Henry War ing. My grandfather was James l Waring"
 And this is Henry Waring-hs was the father of Dr. John Waring?" 1 As Fibsyj said this, Stone sat up- right and gazed hard at Trask.
 Yes, John Warnings father was Henry, and my grandfather was Henry's brother James. That's how I'm related. And being the only one, that's why I'm the heir here. But. don't you see Dr.. Warnings mother was a Truesdell-"
 And Miss Austin Is a relative of hers-a connection of the Truesdeli 1 family somehow" exclaimed the 1 now excited Fibsy. "and she found cut about it and came here and" 1 Yes" Trask said, and tried to get some money from John Warlng on | the ground of relationship" What relation would she be7" l Maybe a niece of Dr. Waring-or 1 cousin. Maybe the same relation i to Dr. Warnings mother that I am to his father. Then. that would explain his giving her money and the pin and maybe she burned the will, and then she"
 "But it ctmplicates everything" l" 1 said Stone, who was thinking quick | ly. However. if Miss Austin Is con i nected with the TruesdeH family It gives us a way to look to learn her
 "Weli. learn it." said Trask, abruptly I'm not afraid of losing my inheritance. for I'm in the direct Waring line and she can't be- r Trask. helped along by Fleming
 
 1 the Warnings. But they ran up l against blank wall As far s they i could learn, pr. Waring never had 1 brother or sister. His mother, who was a Truesdell, had also been an l only child. But, of course, Miss Mys- i tery could be of the Truesden fam l ily, and could, as Trask observed, be ] the same relation to John Waring' s lmother that Trask was to John War ine's father. Which relation was 1 that of second cousin.
 Ut gives a reason for the girPs presence here,' Stone said, and as | it's the only reason we can think 0 l it must be followed up." And I'll follow it up,' Trask ISEid eff I once get hold of tha girl | Where can she be. Mir. Stons&1 1 Not very far away.
