He caught sight of the girl on the
davenport. "Ahl A lady,"
Stepping quickly forward, he
made a rapid examination of the
dead girl, scrutinizing her neck ana
fingers, moving her arms and. head
to determine the condition of rigor
mortiS, and finally unflexing her
stiffened limbs and laying her out
straight on the long cushions, pre-
paratory to a more detailed nec-
ropsy.
The rest of us moved toward the
bedroom, and Heath motioned to

them. But take a special look at

Y s. 3. VAN DINE

I Vance had glanced but casually at
the different objects in the rooms
as we made our rounds, but when he
came to the dressing table he
paused abruptly.
Taking out his monocle he ad-
juSted it carefully and leaned over
the broken jewel case.
"IEost extr'ordin'ry!" he MUIR
murSd, tapping the edge Of the lid
with his gold pencil. What do
you make of that, Sergeant?"
Heath had been cycling Vance
with narrowed lids as the latter
bent over the dressing table.
Whats in your mind, Mr..
Vance?" he, in turn asked.
"Oh, more than you could ever
guess" Vance answered lightly.
But just as the moment I was
toying with the idea that this steel
case was never torn open by that
wholly inadequate iron poker,
what?"
Heath nodded his head approx
ingly. $50 you, too, noticed that,
did you? 49,. And you're dead
right That poker might've twisted
the box a little, but it never
snapped that lock-"
He turned to Inspector Moran.
That's the puzzler I've sent for
Professor Bremen to clean up-if
he can. The jimInying of that
jewel-caSe looks to me like high
class professional job. No Sunday
school superintendent did it,"
Vance continued for while to
study the box, but at length he
turned away with a perplexed
frown.
II say!" he commented. Some
thing devilish queer took place here
last night"
ooh, not so queer" Heath
amended. 1T was a thorough job,
all right, but there's nothing mys-
FERROUS about it,"
Vance polished his monocle and
put it away.

TUESDAY, Sept. IL; $3.50 a. M
A FEW minutes after we had re-
IN turned to the living-room DR..
DoremuS, the chief medical exam
liner, arrived, jaunty and energetic.
Immediately in his train came three
other men, one Of whom carried a
bulky camera and a folded tripod.
These were Captain Dubois and
Detective Bellamy, f1nger-print ex-
perts, and Peter Quackenbush, the
official photographer.
"Well, we'll, WE'LL" exclaimed DR..
Doremus. "Quite gathering Of the
clans. More trouble, Ell? -. I

He shook hands with everybody
in a brisk, businesslike manner.

CHAPTER w

TINE two rooms had apparently
Il been thoroughly ransacked.
Clothes and various articles we're
strewn about the floor.
The doors of both clothes closets
[there vas Ore in each rooln) were
open, and to judge from the chaos
in the bedroom closet, it had been
hurriedly searched; although the
closet off of the living-roon, which
was given over to the storage of in
frequently used items, appeared to
have been ignored.
The drawers of the dressing table
and chest had been partly emptied
onto the floor, and the bedclothes
had been snatched away and the
mattress turned back.
Two chairs and a small occasional
table were upset, several vases were
broken, as if they had been searched
and then thrown down in the wrath
of disappointment; and the Marie
Antoinette mirror had been broken.
The escritoire was open, and it's
pigeonholes had been emptied in a
jumbled pile upon the blotter. The
doors of the Boule cabinet swung
wide, and inside there was the same
confusion of contents that marked
the interior of the escritoire.
The bronze and-porcelain lamp on
the end of the library table was ly-
ing on its side, its satin shade torn
where it had struck the sharp corner
of a silver bonbonniere.
Two objects in the general dis
array particularly attracted my at
tention-a black metal document
box of the kind purchasable at any
stationery store, and large jewel
case Of sheet steel with a circular
inset lock. The latter Of these OBJ
jects was destined to play a Gu
rious and sinister part in the in
vestigation to follow.
The document box, which was
now empty, had been placed on the
library table, next to the over
turned lamp. It's lid was thrown
back and the key was still in the
lock.
In all the litter and disorganiza-
ton Of the room, this box seemed
to be the outstanding indication of
calm and orderly activity on the
part Of the wrecker.
The jewel-case, on the other hand
had been violently wrenched open.
1t sat on the dressing table in the
bedroom, denied and twisted out of
shape by the terrific leverage that
had been necessary to force it, and
beside it lay brasS-handled, cast
iron poker which had evidently been
brought from the living room and
used as a makeshift chisel with
which to pry open the lock.

At this moment Doctor Doremus
came into the bedroom and, taking
a sheet from the bed, returned to
the davenport and covered the body
OF the murdered girl Then he
snapped shut his case, and putting
on his hat st a rakish angle, stepped
forward with the air of a man in
great haste to be on his way.
Simple case of strangulation
from behind" he said, his words
running together. "Digital bruises
about the front of the throat;
thumb bruises in the sub-occipital
region. Attack must have been I'M
expected. A quick, competent job,
though deceased evidently battled a
little"
"How do you suppose her dress
became torn, doctor?" asked Vance.
"Oh, that? Can't tell. She may

"Why not? The dress was torn

inconsequential interruption, put the
next question.
