Sentinel of the Dead.

Dan Homet of Glasgow, one Of the
divers who have been working on the
wreck of the warship Ariadne, sunk
by a German submarine off East
bourne, England in 1917, came up
from the wreck recently with the
strange story Of having seen a marine
supported by a portion of the ship
standing as though on duty, his rifle
with bayonet fixed, grasped in his
hand. He seemed as though he had
been in the same position in the dim
shadows of the wreck for five years,
standing sentry over the dead, for "a
men are believed to have gone down
with the ship.
"The diver told the story when he
came up from the wreck after being
imprisoned there for an hour" said
Mr. Pollard, who is In charge Of the
diving operations. He got into an
awkward corner, and narrowly es-
capped with his life. He was in
condition of much stress at the time
after his experience"

CHAPTER XIV
The Murderer Spe eaks.


Who turned on the lights / do not
know. AS soon as they flashed on, we
looked at each other inquiringly, our
eyes filed with fear. Who had cried
out in terror and broken the circle?
BARLEY motioned to US to sit down
again, and took his stand back Of the
table He seemed to me to be very
weary, and his eyes rested on US
sadly, as if he were reluctant to pro-
ceed further 1t was not until we
moved restlessly under his intent gaze
that he said, II am not going to make
any comment on what we have just
seen" He paused for second, then
added impressively, But l think l
ought to tell you that know who
killed both Slyke and Briffeur"
There was a murmur of astonish
ment. Currie looked at me appeal
ingly, but 1 knew no more than he.
Roche whispered to Black, and they
exchanged looks of bewilderment.
BARLEY still hesitated, as If he were
very reluctant to continue.
II know that some Of you doubt If
we can prove that Mr.. Slyke was mur-
dered. You say there are no clues,
and | admit that l have never seen a
case in which there were SO few.
There is no doubt, however that he
was murdered, though it is difficult
to say what the motive was. In the
case of Briffeur, it was very simple"
"Simple!" Roche gasped.
"Yes, simple. There was but one
reason and one way, and even one
person, that could have killed him"
This statement was too much for
Roche: he shook his heard in disbe-
lief.
Lets consider Mr.. Sykes death
for a moment" BARLEY continued.
after the party was over Slyke
asked Mr.. Lawrence to stay behind
and offered to sell him some whisky.
They had a drink, then Lawrence
went home But we found three
glasses, showing that someone besides
Lawrence had drunk with Slyke. Let
us say this third person killed Slyke.
Understand me: do not believe that,
when he came, he had any intention
of killing him-that came later We
will assume that Slyke and this third
person went upon the balcony, for
what reason l cannot say, but l am
sure that Slyke was the one that sug-
gested going there. No murderer
would have selected it, voluntarily,
as a place in which TO kill his victim"

been much landscaping Of the grounds
about it, and yet it has been done in

there will be wistaria, Virginia creep
