' NOW GO on WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XxXV
ooh, I suppose it was just the
old story of two men and one
woman. I don't think the baby girl
was on the scene at all. I believe
if she was seen coming or going on
the stairs, it was after the whole
show was over. 1 believe that Heath
and his wife and Inman quarreled.
Then nobody can say just how that
thing happened. 1t might well have
been accidental. Perhaps one man
attacked the other and Mrs. Heath
threw herself between them in an
effort to help one or the other, and
received herself the blow meant for
one Of the men"
I never should have thought of
that! But it's darned plausible
believe that's just what did happen;
for that, supposing Imam held the
bottle, would make Heath loath to
appear against him. IF Heath knew
that Inn1an killed Mrs. Heath, but
did it by accident, by her intercept
ing the blow meant for Heath, then
can see Perry doing just as he
did do. Go away, rather than testify
to the truth. But when the girl,
Bunny, is implicated, then Heath
had to come back and do what he
could to save her. Oh, by Jove
see! Heath is sure this story will
get to the ears of Inman, and then
Inman will know that Heath is on
his track, and if he doesn't confess,
or 80 least, if Bunny isn't set free
of III suspicion, Heath will turn up
again, and give Larry what for!'
Yes, that's logically thought out,
Then, in that case, the sooner we
make public Heath's story, the bet
ter< All right, old man, as you say,
it'll keep till morning, and then
Wen go to see friend Mott. You
must go with me, of course, and we
must put it to him straight"
Shall you go to tell Inmah, too?"
mo, think we'd better let Mott
do that. Indeed, I don't see that we
need figure in the matter at all ex-
cept to give the dope to Mott. It's
his business after that, and if he
doesn't make Larry Inman stand up
and take his medicine, then I think
Perry Heath will materialize again.
And I hope I'll get peek at him
next time. If he comes to you, tell
him I'm crazy to meet him."

believe you have no heart, no real
emotion"
II haven't, much, to be frank with
you. To me, old son, this is Just a
case and interests me only as a story
, book would. The Heaths, as you
know, were never intimate friends of
mine, ~and If I'm interested in the
little Bunny, it's only in a pretty
and unprotected child. scarcely
know the girl, personally"
IAN right, then, old man. See
you In the morning. Good night"
and Cunningham strolled away.
But if AL Cunningham was not
making much Roadway in his detec-
tive work, Todhunter Buck began
to feel THAT he was getting along
almost too well.
After Larry Inn1an had told him
Of coming downstairs late at night
and discovering his cousins dead
body-still warmzBuck, was miser-
able with apprehension. It was all
very well to assure himself that
nothing-no sort or kind of evidence
would ever make him believe in the
possibility Of Bunny's guilt, but, even
if the girl had no hand in the MUIR
der, she must have known about it
! when she came upstairs, white and
trembling, as described by Inman,
and with vanity case dangling from
her hand.
Much as he wanted to do so, Buck
couldn't believe Larry was lying, or
