Should 1t develop later that President

Man With Stake In the Community
Cannot Help but Be Better
Citizen.

The great value in owning home
Is the new outlook the home owner
has on life. Instead of being merely
a renter, a more or less dissatisfied
member of large floating population,
with the signing of the mortgages he
becomes a citizen, factor in his com
munity, the owner of something in
whose growth and development he can
take honest pride. The result is that
he finds his ambitions clariGed and
focused now that he has a defnite,
tangible object for which to work. He
has assumed certain responsibilities,
and in their discharge he takes not only
interest but genuine pride.
A great business man, on being asked
what advice he would give the young
man starting out in life, replied "Get
In debt" BY this he meant that the
assumption Of financial obligations with
a definite object in view furnished the
necessary balancing influence which
would steady a man and set him
mark to achieve. There is no doubt
that the purchase of home makes
man better citizen and more ambi-
tious to succeed In his business !; 1t puts
him in a class to which it is priv
ilege to belong-the class which is the
responsible element in the community
the great and steady growing class OF
homecoming citizens.

CHAPTER xi
n Which We Begin to Find a Motive.

IN WnlCn we OSStn " TiiN q "@s'SSs
BARLEY had some work for me to
do, and | did not dine until the 9TH
ers had finished. While / was eating,
Currie wandered into the dining room
and sat down beside me. The mur-
der had taken all the life out of him.
1t was the first time that he had
come so close to a crime. He seemed
unable to forget the cry and those
awful moments in the darkened room.
We discussed the affair for a while !;
then | excused myself and went in
search Of BARLEY.
had been thinking for hours Of
the latest crime and no solution had
come to me. | could not understand
how, in those few moments Of dark
ness, the murderer had been able to
approach the chauffeur near enough
to kill him. nor why the people next
to him had heard nothing.
When | told BARLEY of my bewil-
derment, he answered with little
grin: II agree with you, Pelt, it's
very mysterious. It's the first time
| ever heard of murder taking place
at an inquest and in room filed with
people. There are no clues, apparently,
To my mind, however, the real rea-
son for the murder was to prevent
Briffeur from testifying. Whoever
killed him knew about what he would
say, and feared that he would tell
who had killed Slyke."
Breaking in on him, | said, But he
could not have foreseen that the
lights would 60 out and give him a
chance? | thought that it was the
storm that eXtinguished them"
He nodded. That's true enough.
1t was that last flash Of lightning.
Darkness was just what he needed,
and he took advantage of It, He had
several moments in which to act.
There were not many people near
enough to the chauffeur TO have
killed him in that short time"
He rose, went over to his bag and
brought back the knife with which
the murder had been committed. For
several moments he examined it, then
he asked as he passed ii over TO me,
what do you think Of it,"
1t Was d rather odd knife. 1t re-
sembled a hunting knife. and the
edge showed it had had a good deal
of use. The blade was very dull eX-
cept at the point 1t was too large to
be carried in a mans pocket, but q
woman could have hidden it some
where In the folds of her clothing.
AS BARLEY seemed to expect some
comment from me as handed 1t back
to him, / said, Save for the fact it's
not very sharp and seems to have
been used a great deal, l can learn
nothing from it."
He smiled as he turned the knife
over and over in his hand. "Oh
there's more than that. 1t tells q
great deal. The knife is unusual In
shape and length. There was a time

when II was USED great deal, anu
the owner kept 1t very sharp and
Clean But for some time now he
has neglected It, There is one very
important thing that you have over
looked. You remember those little
drawings / found on the magazine in
Sykes room, the row Of connected
circles? l find the same thing here
| gasped, and, reaching for the
knife, looked at the wooden handle.
There, family scratched on the wood,
were number Of circles running one
into the other
DO you think" l asked In excite
ment, that 1t Is the sign Of some Sc.
cret societyY'
mo. It's simply this-that most Of
u.s. II we have a pen or pencil in our
fingers, draw figures on whatever hap
pens to be at hand We do it with
out thinking, because 1t Is a subcon-
scious act and, as rule, we draw
the same set Of figures each time.
Some one, having nothing to do, idly
scratched these figures On this knife
handle, hardly conscious of what he
was doing. | believe the same person
made the figures on the magazine and
on the knife"
why do you think that?" | asked.
ut had been scientifically proved
that, when person plays with a pen
ell and idly draws figures. he always
draws the same ones; and that they
are symbols of something deep in his
subconscious mind. These circles are
so much alike that / think they were
drawn by the same person"
| had dim idea I had heard some
thing similar to what he was saving
In college, but Just what Il was
could not remember. AS 1 started to
hand him the knife, 1t slipped through
my fingers and fell to the floor and
stood quivering, its point imbedded
In the wood With a sudden eYcla-
nation, BARLEY picked it up and to
my astonishment, let it fall again and
again. Each time the point stuck up
right in the floor Then he balanced
1t on his hand, smiling to himself. AS
he replaced it in his bag, he said, II
am glad you dropped that knife, Pelt."
1t seemed to me such an inane thing
to say that | made no comment "We
are going over to Sykes again." he
continued, ''to see Miss Potter By
the way. there's another thing, Pelt,
you can aid me good deal by solv-
ing"
whats that?" / said.
Find out why that dog did not bark
the night of the murder. It's puppy,
noisy and active, and does not like
strangers The person that killed
Slyke, as far as we know, had to come
down those long stairs and pass
through the living room where the
dog was. If 1t was some one from out
side, that dog should have barked.
But as far as we can find out, he
never made q sound"
1T looks to me-" l suggested, "as II
the murder were committed by some
one in the house"
BARLEY did not answer until he
had opened the door into the hall, then
he paused to say, There seems to be no
motive for any Of the family to have
killed Slyke. The little difficulty be-
tween Miss Potter and Slyks does not
seem important enough to consider.
The will has been found and all the
property is accounted for His law
yer, you remember, discovered large
sum Of money in the safe when 1t was
opened" Then he proceeded down
stairs

BARLEY agreed, and for moment
nothing was said. Then the district
attorney broke the silence with "Mr.
BARLEY, l think that Briffeur knew
who killed him. At least, he had an
idea who it was. He was trying to
tell us when he died."
"Yes," BARLEY replied, with curl
Gus smile, che was not only trying to
tell us, but to point him out. You will
remember that just before he died, IT.
a last burst of strength, he half raised
himself and said, 'Slyke murdered--I
killed and fell back dead. There
is no doubt he thought he knew who
killed him He had not, of course,
seen who 1t was But he suspected
some one, and was trying to point him
out"
Trying to point him out?" echoed
the district attorney in astonishment.
EYES, point him out. He pointed
straight at Doctor Webster's chest"
The doctor started and his face red
dened in surprise and anger. He
glanced quickly at BARLEY to discover
II he were in earnest and blurted out.
ME ! My Cd, ] never was anywhere
near him %
II know that, Doctor" BARLEY said,
with a reassuring smile. What
meant was that he was trying to point
out some one l doubt if he could dis
tinguish one person from another.
You happened to be unlucky enough
to be In front Of him, that is all.
81 am pretty sure he had no idea
that he was pointing at me; and ]
doubt, for that matter, if he even knew
what he was saying" Doctor Webster
insisted
II agree with you in part, Doctor"
was Bartley's answer. II don't believe
he had any Idea whom he was point
ing at; but I think he knew who killed
him, nevertheless"
But, Mr. Barley Ruth cried, Won
deringly, why should any one wish to
kill our chauffeur?
His answer came in a short SEN
tence. Because he knew who killed
Mr.. Slyke."
LIS ICplJ, unexpected W hiC,
seemed to surprise the others. The
girl looked bewildered and Doctor
Kings eyes opened wide. Miss Potter
alone remained unmOved. Even the
district attorney, lawyer that he was.
demanded, "Why do you say that?'
BARLEY glanced at him as If he had
expected a man with legal training to
have better understanding, and in
weary voice explained: you all recog-
niZe that Briffeur was killed as he was
about to testify. Whoever did the
deed was afraid of what he knew. He
could not, of course, have fOreseen that
the lights would go out but when they
did he seized the opportunity. He
feared that the chauffeur would tell
who killed Slyke. And while he might
not have been able to prove his state
ment, he knew enough to be dangerous.
For myself, | believe the chauffeur
could have told us, and that he was
killed to shut his mouth
The district attorney made a little
gesture Of dissent. Il see that but, on
the other hand, how do we know that
Briffeur himself did not kill Slyke?
He said, you remember, Slyke mur-
dered-I-killed--' Maybe he killed
him himself"
Black nodded an emphatic agree
ment This accorded with the theory
he had ADVANCED the night before. L
could see that BARLEY, however was
not convinced. As he made no COM
ment, the attorney continued, lie
said nothing more; but may we not
say that, if he had finished the SEN
tence, what he would have said would

'"Then why was the chauffeur
killed?", BARLEY asked with sarcas-
tic smile.
The lawyer shook his head slowly,
argument as a theory only.
II have an idea," BARLEY said, that
if the chauffeur had finished the SEN
tence it would have been 'Slyke mur-
dered. | know who did it."
AS | listened to both OF their theo-
ries, one seemed to me just as likely
to be correct as the other.
