of Inman, and then Inman vii
know that Heath is on his track
and il he doesn't confess, or at least
if Bunny isn't set free of all suspi
cion, Heath will turn up again, ant
give Larry what fort"
Yes, that's logically thought out
Then, in that case. the sooner w
make public Heath's story, the bet
ter. All right, old man, as you say
| it'll keep till morning, and ther
we'll go to see friend Mott. You
must go with me, of course, anc
we must put it to him straight"
Shall you go to tell Inman, too? p
NO, I 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 1 hope I'll get a peek at him
next time. II he comes to. you, tell
him I'm crazy to meet him"
You take it all SO lightly, Sam.
I believe you have no heart, no real
emotion"
Il haven't, much, to be frank
with you. To me, old son, this is
just 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 interest
ed in the little Bunny, it's only as in
a pretty and unprotected child. I
scarcely know the girl, personally"
"All 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 al
most too well.
After Larry Inman had told him
of coming downstairs late at night
and discovering his cousins dead
body,-still warm-Buck was miser-
able with apprehension. 1t was all
very well to assure himself that
nothing-no sort or kind of evil
dence would ever make him believe
in the possibility of Bunny's guilt,
but, even If the girl had no hand in
the murder, 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
even disappearing in the slight
est degree.
One of Toddy's faculties was a
real flair for the truth. All his life,
he had almost invariably been able
10 tell when any one spoke falsely.
1t was sort Of insight or second
sight, that told him at once of a
speakers insincerity.
This trait, Of itself, was a strong
asset in the matter of detective
work. and the only trouble was, it
