Eyes, I know who the murderer is,
though it wasn't my plan to tell you
lust vet. However"--he went to the
door with grim resolution--"we can't
delay matters any longer now. Our
hand has been forced. Get into your
coat, Sergeant--and you, too, Markham.
We'd better get out to the Greene house
before dark"
eBut, damn 1t all. vancel" Markham
expostulated. why don't you tell us
what's in your mind?"
at can't explain now-youll under
stand why later"
eff you know so much, Mr.. Vance,
broke in Heath, what's keeping us
from making an arrest?"
You're going to make your arrest,
Sergeant--inside of an hour" Though
he gave the promise without en-
thusiaSm, it acted electrically on both
Heath and Markham.
Five minutes later the four of us were
driving up West Broadway in Vance's
car.
Sproot as usual admitted us without
the faintest show of interest, and stood
aside respectfully for us to enter.
I'VE wish to see Miss Sibella." said
Vance. please tell her to come to the
drawing room-alone."
I'm sorry, sir, but Miss Sibella is
out"
"Then tell Miss Ada we want to see
her.
Miss Ada is out also. sir" The
buffers Unconditional tone sounded
strangely incongruous In the tense at
mosphere we had brought with us.
when do you expect them back?"
"I couldn't say, sir. They went out
motoring together. They probably won't
be gone long. Would you gentlemen
care to waltz"
Vance hesitated.
Eyes, We'll wait" he decided. and
walked toward the drawing room.
But he had barely reached the arch
way when he turned suddenly and called
to Sproot. who was retreating slowly
toward the rear of the hall.
"You say Miss Sibella and Miss Ada
went motoring together? How long
ago?"
About Is minutes-maybe 20, sir"
A barely perceptible lift of the mans
eyebrows indicated that he was greatly
astonished by Vance's sudden change
of manner.
Whose car did they go IMP"
I'm DR.. Won Blon's. He was here to
tea"
And who suggested the ride. Sproot?"
st really couldn't say, sir. They were
sort of debating about it when came
in to clear away the tea things"
Repeat everything you heard" Vance
spoke rapidly and with more than a
trace of excitement.

was saying as how he thought 1t would
be a good thing for the young ladies
to get some fresh air: and Miss Sibella

this sign knew he was under a nervous
strain. In fact, he had spoken scarcely
dozen words to me since his return
and as he picked his way downtown
through the late afternoon traffic he
was gloomy and preoccupied. Once ]
ventured to ask him If his trip had
been successful, and he had merely
nodded But when we turned into
Centre street he relented little, and
said:
There was never any doubt as to
the success Of my trip, Van. I knew
what I'd find But I didn't dare trust
my reason; had to see the records
with my own eyes before I'd capitulate
unreservedly to the conclusion I'd
formed"
Both Markham and Heath were wait
ing for us in the district attorneys
Office. 1t was just 4 o'clock. and the
sun had already dropped below the New
York Life Building which lowered above
the old Criminal Courts structure a
block to the southwest.
II took 1t for granted you had some
thing important to tell me-" said Mark
ham; so asked the Sergeant to come
here"
Yes, I've much to tell" Vance had
thrown himself into chair. and was
lighting a cigarette. But first want
to know If anything has happened in
my absence"
Nothing. Your representation was
quite accurate. Things have been quiet
and apparently normal at the Greene
mansion"
Anyhow" interposed Heath. I'VE
may have little better chance this
week of getting hold of something to
work on. Sibella returned from Atlantic
City yesterday, and Won Blon's been
hanging round the house ever since"
'Sibella back?" Vance sat up, and his
eyes became intent.
AT 6 o'clock yesterday evening"" said
Markham. The newspaper men at the
beach ferreted her out and ran sensa-
tional story about her. liter that the
poor girl didn't have an hours peace;
so yesterday she packed UP and came
back. We got word of the move through
the men the Sergeant had set to watch
her. ran out to see her this morning,
and advised her to go away again. But
she was pretty thoroughly disguised,
and Stubbornly refused to quit the
Greene house-said death was prefer
able to being bounded by reporters and
scandal-mongers."
Vance had risen and moved to the
window. where he stood scanning the
gray skyline.
"Sibella's back, ehp" he murmured
Then he turned round. Let me see
that weather report asked you to pre-
pare for me-"
Markham reached into a drawer and
handed him a typewriter sheet of
paper.
After perusing it he tossed 1t back on
the desk
Keep that, Markham. You'll need
1t when you face your IL good men and
true"
What is it you have to tell us, Mr.
vance?" The Sergeant's voice was i'm
patient despite his effort to control it.
Mr.. Markham said you had a line on
the case. For Gods sake, sir, If you've
got any evidence against any one, slip
it to me and let me make an arrest.
I'm getting thin worrying over this
