splendor over stark white peaks that
guarded the widows valley from the
west.
The Widow Stately had been a
widow even when she came into that
little nook in the foothills with her
son Frank, winsome lad Of fourteen
or Whereabouts. Here they had dug
in" with their little herd Of heifers.
and Frank had plowed the valley field
for oats and potatoes. and, with the
help of carpenter. they had built the
house of spruce logs where mountain
stream gurgled lullabies in the still
nights.
I At the end Of the six years they
were on their feet. The fields had ex-
tended; the herd had grown; the cream
cans went down to town three times

And tonight. as blanket of Christ

A DETECTIVE STORY

about, on duty, until Dr. Waring left his study and went to bed" This servant has done these things
 before?"
 Not these things. He arrived but few days ago, and Ito, the butler, l}attended to the doctor. But Sunday afternoon and evening Ito has off, so l began to train Nogi"
 And this Nogi has disappeared?"
 Yes; he is not to be found this morning. Nor has his bed been dis turbed."
 Then we may take it he left in the night or early morning. Now the doctors judge that Dr. Waring died about midnight. We must therefore admit the possibility of a connec- tion between the laps disappearance and the doctors death"
 At this suggestion, GorGon Lock- wood looked interested. Whereas he had preserved stony calm, his face now showed deep attention to the de- tective's words and he nodded his head in agreement. You think so, too, MT. Lockwood?" Morton asked, in that sudden and often disconcerting way of his.
 T don't say l think sc,' the sec retary returned. quietly, "but I do admit a possibility" Tt would seem so.' Mrs. Peyton put in, If Nogi could have got into the study. But he couldn't. You know it was ocked-impossible MT. Lockwood?"
 Yes" Gordon returned q heard pr. Waring lock his door,
 When was that?" asked the de- tective, sharply.
 q should say about 10 o'clock" Where were you, then?"
 Sitting in the window nook out side the study door," l' Could you not, then, hear any l thing that went n in the study?" | Possibly not. The walls and door are thick-they were made so for the doctors sake--he desired abso- 1 lute privacy, and freedom from in- terruption or overhearng. No, could not know what was taking place in that roc milf anything was. at that time"
 At what time did you last see the loctor?"
 After supper I went with him to | the study. I looked after his wants, getting him a number of books from the shelves, and selecting from his l files such notes or manuscript as he asked for Those are my duties as l secretary"
 And then?"
 Then he virtually dismissed me, saying l might leave for the night. 1 But l remained in the hall window until II o'clock"
 Why did you do this?' "Out of consideration for my em- ployer. He was exceedingly busy and ] if caller came. I could pro bably at tend his wants and spare the Goc- tor an interruption" ] CCOntinued TomorrOw)

CHAPTER 9 The Ruhy StickUin


 The Ruby Stickpin
 Now" said Morton, the detective, briskly, Ito get to business, I must make inquiries of the family-the household. Suppose l see them in some other room"
 Yes" agreed Lockwood with what seemed to Morton suspicious eager ness. Why should the secretary be so obviously pleased to leave the study-though, to be sure, it was gruesome place just now.
 Wait a minute" Morton said, ''how about robbery? Has anything been missed?'
 Lockwood looked surprised.
 T never thought to look," he said, didn't occur to me" He looked around the room Nothing seems to be miss ing"
 Stay on guard, Higby," the de- tective said to a policeman, and then asked the secretary where he could interview the housekeeper and the servants.
 Lockwood took Morton to the liv- ingroom, and there they found Mrs. Bates as well as the two Peytons.
 Though her eyes showed traces of tears, Emily Bates was composed and met the detective with an appealing face.
 "Do find the murderer" she cried; T don't care how much that room was locked up I know John Waring never killed himselfi Why would he do it? Did ever man have so much to live for?" He couldn't have taken his life"
 I'm inclined to agree with you Mrs Bates" Morton told her, "yet you must see the difficulties in the way of murder theory. I'm told the room was inaccessible. Is not that right, Mrs. Peyton?"
 Flustered at the sudden question the housekeeper wrung her hands and burst into tears. "Oh, don't ask me" she walled. T don't know any thing about it,'
 "Nothing indicative. perhaps" and Morton spoke more gently. but at least, tell me all you do know. When ''At the supper table, last evening" Not after supper at all?"
 No; that is, I didn't see him. am training a new servant, and watched him as he took tray of water pitcher and glasses into the study. but I didn't look in, nor did gee the doctor"
 Did you hear him?"
 "I don't think l heard him speak. l heard paper rustic, and I knew @The servant came right out again?"
 "Yes: my attenion was all on him. I told him exactly what to do during the evening""
 What were those instructions"
