wants belongings shows only some inferior materials. That this box shows on it's surface the finger prints of Miss Moore, only no others. And so, we are forced to the conclusion, that. quite apart from the murder the making up of Mrs. Heath's face was done by Miss Moore. This in itself is, of course, no crime, but added to the fact that Miss Moores finger prints were on the bottle that was used as weapon, we can't help feeling that Miss Moore was in some way implicated in the matter, if only as an accessory or an observer
 You think so?" as Toddy's non- committal reply.
 we do," was the response from Detective Mott. himself. And if you are interested in a proof of it, stay here few moments longer. I have sent for an important witness, and if you choose, you can listen in."
 So Toddy stayed, and it was not long before Emma. the waitress from the Heath home, appeared.
 She was the one who had seem- ed simple and honest at the time of the inquest and Mott greeted her kindly. Well, Emma he said, we've sent for you, because we think you know more than you told at the ! inquest"
 "Yes, sir" said the phlegmatic { and imperturable young woman. Mott didn't quite know whether her response was one of acaui- 1 essence or merely acknowledge l ment of his remark, but he felt his l way slowly.
 You do know little more, En- | ma?" he said, ingratiatingly. Yes. sir was the stolid assent. |
 "Well, tell It," Mott was getting impatient.
 'TeI what, sir?"
 What you know"
 But suddenly, Emma seemed to get scared.
 'I 1 don't know anything, sir.' she half breathed. her eyes getting big with fright and her voice trembling.
 Mott pursued his advantage
 Yes, you do! Now, out with it! | Do you want to find yourself in the l station house? Tell me what you saw, when you came downstairs to | let Katie in!"
 al hn ~,, saw nothing"
 T know you did. And you told lie! Now, do the best you can to repair the slip of your tongue. What did you see? Or whom?" I = I saw" Emma hesitated. but her interlocutor gave her a prod.
 Out with it now. It will be far better for you in the long run, if . you tell the truth. You saw some- body - who was it?" Miss - Miss Bunny, sir"
 "Yes, of course, I knew that"
 This was mendacity on Motts part but he knew how to treat a girl like Emma. What was she doing?" he went on. \ -lA2
 She she was going upstairs, sir"
 Going upstairs, was she? Alone?"
 Quite alone, sir" Did she listen, now, Emma - did she have this vanity box in her. hand?"
 "Y - yes, sir" Emma faltered. Are you sure?" Toddy Buck broke in. T believe this girl will assent to anything you suggest!'
 Are you sure, Emma?" Mott re- peated.
 "Yes, sir, I'm sure," Emma said, because l heard it jingle as it hit against the stair rail. Oh. sir, l hope I haven't done wrong to tell."
 NO. You do wrong when you don't tell. Do you know any more? What did the young lady do next?"
 That's all sir. She went up the stairs and into her own room and shut the door,
 And this was at one o'clock?"
 NO, sir, it was half-past one."
 You're a good witness, Emma. Halfpast one was what you said at the inquest"
 But it was half-past one. sir. I saw by the pantry clock"
 Yes" interrupted Al Cunning ham, and you said at the inquest that you saw no one when you came down to let Katie in. You said that the servants rooms are all in the back of the house" "Yes, sir Emma looked dis tressed. But l peeped in the front part, through the door upstairs, and I saw Miss Moore. And I didn't say anything about it at first but now, I thought I'd better" "Oh, you did." said Cunningham. And whose advice made .jou feel that way about it?" "Carter's, sir.'' Truly. Emma was ingenious!
 "Ah, Carter's. And why does she want Miss Moore brought into this thing?"
 T don't know, sir. She just ad- vised me to tell all I know
 And have you done so?"
 Yes, sir, I have, but Katie - she hasn't"
 Hello" Mott took up the query ing. Katie hasn't, eh? Well, do you know what it Is that Katie hasn't told? Can you tell us as we'll as Katie could?" "Yes, sir" Then 80 ahead"
 Why, you see, Katie is engaged | to her young man, Jimmy Lomax. Well, when they two comes home, from Katie's evening out, they don't | always come right in the house." NO? What do they do?"
 Well, they - they sets in the arbor and and spoons-like." d
