CHAPTER II
The Ozark Secret"

TT1HE silence which followed Kath-
z leen's assertion was a tribute to
its obvious good sense. The in
ference that since the crow could not
have carried the feshlesS finger from
the other side of the Atlantic. its
owner must have died within range
of the birds flight. could not be
gainsa1d.
With varying degrees of directness.
the eyes of nearly all present were
turned on the man who. whether
George Glenister had died near or
far. had SO enormously benefited by
his death.
The only exceptions to the ocular
battery aimed at Sir Dudley Glenis-
ter : were 4 Lady Marrables. who
munched peach in perfect uncon-
Germ. and Doctor Wiloughby Mel
vile. who seemed to pc absorbed in
.intrOspection..
The tension was broken by Sir
Dudley. who had not appeared to no.
tice the scrutiny bent on him. His
gaze had been riyeted on the skeleton
finger,
LET me have a squint at the
thing" he said duly.
The grisly horror was passed along
the table
That's theF Glenister crest all

said. k"But it doesn't follow that this
is Georges ring. or that. if 1t was.

sporting parson bade their host good
day. Mr.. Stephen Colne's farewells
were elaborate. '.!B 4 :@e-~
M.'You will be taking steps to have
this : cleared up."& he suavely re-
marked as though it were a matter
of course. ."If my influence with the
Home Office can be of any service to
you. Glenister. pray command me-"
What has the Home Office got to
DO with it?" Sir Dudley demanded
with note of defiance.
"Quite possibly nothing at all. but
q good deal if the body from which
the crow pecked that gruesome relic
is discovered"
The outside shooting guests having
departed, the house party grouped
itself for the walk home through the
coverts. Doctor Melville, who had
obtained permission to keep the fin,
gar, fell in at the side of his host. to
whom also Mrs. Coningsby attached
herself. Norman Slater and Kathleen
