 You incline to the red rain the ory and think the murderer is to be looked for at places where they register the efforts of Jupiter Plu- vious?" said Mir, Griswold, waving his glass to and fro.
 "I don't know anything about red rain. It seems silly" the poor lady beat the air feebly. T am sorry l cannot tell you more in return for your kindness in catching my darling Greenseeves. Stay though! There is one thing you might like to know. Sir Guy is hiding from the police in the very last place where they will look for him."
 And that place, dear lady?" the inquiry was whispered insinuating- ly,
 Here, in his own house." Mrs. Nansittart broke her oath of secrecy in payment for the service render ed service which she would have estimated at a lower figure could she have known that the plausible stranger who brought the parrot back had first let him loose.
 The ruse having succeeded, MT. Griswod lost no time in taking his departure. If people in real life em- ployed the disgusting gesture of put ting their tongues in their cheeks no doubt his tongue would have been in that position, rightly detin- ing his sentiments towards the dear old thing who had been adroitly re- lieved of the vital secret she was sworn to preserve.
 Wilmot peered through the spy hole he had drilled in the wood of the old shelter, nee again he had heard the slam of the Rectory gar den door. This time he was re- warded with sight of the slammer. Adela Larkin had come out of the door and was making her way 10 the branches that grew at the verge of the excavation,
 The empty basket that she was swinging suggested that she was after the blackberrieS %Sth which the bushes teemed.
 She passed quite close to the shelter, but WiImot allowed her to 20 by in peace. He, had not been prepared for her sudden appear ance, his plans having been laid, so far as they were laid at all, for raid into the garden and fetching her out. To that end he had studied the door fastenings and had satis- i fed himself that the master-key which was part of his outfit would gain him entrance whenever he wished,
 Now the girls herrying expedi- ton would save him the risk Of an incursion of interference by third party. She had come out Of the garden of her own free will and was really just outside, if a little above, the place where he wanted her l., be. But how 10 get her in side without showing himself in the open required consideration. The blackberry bushes that fringed the verge of the gravel-pit were. he calculated. within sight of the up. ner windows of the Rectory, whence some idle maidservsnt might be peeping.

Lillian Gives Estimate of Steyes

 I stared at Lillian with amaze ment threaded with fear at her comment that Steve" would not guess her possession Of the card he had dropped.
 Do you mean that he knows" stammered.
 He may not know" she retorted, stressing the verb, 'in fact it's a hundred -to-one shot that he didn't see you secreting the envelope, but think second. He's shrewd old campaigner, by your description of him, and l have hunch that this little card means something Of vital importance to him. The next time he goes over his papers he'll miss 1t, and then he'll set his memory to work. It's cinch that he looks those papers over quite often he has nothing else 10 do and he'll remember that the last time he opened the packet before his inter view with you the small envelope was safe, He'll conclude naturally that 1t dropped out of the envelope while he was talking 10 you on that road, and what will be his first move?'
 I felt like q child answering a teachers question. but I did not hesitate, for she evidently expected a rejoinder.
 "He1l go back to the spot to look for It." I said.
 Exactly" she retorted. Its rather a lonely road, isn't it?"
 "Yes, there are only few houses, and very little traffic" answered.
 Then he'll be reasonably certain that he will fnd it there. When he doesn't, depend upon 1t, he'll begin 10 put two and two together, and ths result won't be Ave. From your account Of him he's shrewd enough not to underestimate you, and he'll just about figure out your stunt Of covering the card with your foot and stooping over later to pick 1t up.

of her home, the girl displayed g.
remarkable amount of composure in
describing the details Of how she
smothered the infants, born about
year apart.
The first baby, girl, was born
about a year ago. The father, 1t is
said. was a conductor on a Rock
Vile Washington car.

license and make arrangements

right" she said with sad smile.
"but he never came back, and l
haven't seen or heard from him
since.
when the baby was born, and
feeling we were too poor to take
care Of 1t. I smothered her by plac-
ing her under the bed clothes until
it was dead" the girl declared with
out the least sign of emotion.
mo one was at home at tn"
time as my father worked at the
Columbia Country Club and was
away and my little brother was in
school. The baby was born about
o'clock and at 6 o'clock I was
up and about doing my Homework.

old tabIecloth and some newspapers
and placed 1t in a dark corner OF
the attic Somehow couldn't
