NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER LII


 Aside from being one of it's Wealthicst men. Samuel Church was one Of Bridg"port's unexplained mysteries.
 For instance it was hard for h.. average man in the street to under stand why q bachelor should want an lS-room house. when something much smaller would have answered .s well, without sacrifice of comfort or beautiful surroundings. Think Of the money he squandors in upkeep,' they often remarked. "A butler, gardner. 2 cook. and Lord knows how many other ser wants. Personally, l think Sam Church just likes to show off
 Which may or may not have been true. It was certainly 10 be con- Hoded that Sam Church loved his ease and comfort and elegance. and it was not surprising that he should be fond of certain amount of os- , ,tentation. , Another mystery was his sudden leap from the position of an obscure | lawyer 10 that Of one Of the best known in the city and. indeed in that part of the state. As is so often tho case, his prominence came hard on inc heels of his newly wealth.
 One day he had been a fairly suc- cessful law practitioner, and the next thing you heard he had bought this mansion and was suddenly looked up to as one of the brightest Of legal lights.
 However grudgingly they may have looked on Sam Churchs af- tluence, people were free to admit that he was q hard worker. Rare in- deed was the night when someone

 Jimmy had picked up the revolver and pointed it carelessly at Church, who sank hack again in his chair. And Rands voice. continuing. wps cold. without emotion.
 Funny thing about her dis.p. pearance, Church. In her apart ment we found picture. IL was picture Of my father, taken when he was a boy Of fifteen or so. Wouldn't have recognized 1t myself, supposr, if 1t hadn't been for Lieutenant O'Day. Ever met O'Day. Church? Charming fellow. Ii seems he knew my father when the both of then were mere kids. Oh. that surprises you. eh?
 Now, the peculiar thing about the finding ot that picture was just this. It positively incrim.nated Olga Maynard in 6 murder. Nq fathers murder. He was killed som. time ago in Grafton. You probably read that in the papers, too? Yes, !ncriminatad her. She was known 10 be in Grafton the day of the mur- der. Furthermore, her handkerchief was found in the room, and the stuh of a theater ticket that she had used. Wh,n we found the picture. there was nothing 10 It. of course.

 "Yes, of course. God, yes.' Church fished handkerchief from a pocket. morped his forehead: and his cirs were like black beads. "Of course. Any fool, could sce that, But the funny thing. Church. is that Olga Maynard never sur that picture. f seems she had couple Of visitors the night she ds- appeared. and one of them left .he picture on the nantelpiece. Now. you | see what difference that makes? From duplicating her in the murder. it begins 10 look as f someonc. who knew she was under suspicion de liberately planted it there to tighten the net around her.
 Jimmy took his eyes from the other mans. Deliberately he bcgan td turn the revolver over in hts hands. His silence was positively maddcning and Church looked as if he was ready 10 scream.
 Still holding tho weapon, still look. ing at it. Rand went or: "You can imagine how surprised wa2. Church, 70 learn that picture came from you"
