this shows-my fears were justified!"
He shook his head, sadly. Miss Cor
nelia sat down. His last words had
given her food for thought. She
wanted to null them over for mo-
ment.
The doctor took out his handker-
chief and began to mop his face, as if
to wipe away some strain of mental
excitement under which he was la
boring. His breath came quickly-the
muscles Of his jaw stood out
"Died instantly, I supposeT he said,
looking over at the body. Didn't have
time to say anything?"
ASK the young lady," said Ander-
son, with a jerk of his head. "She
was here when it happened"
The doctor gave Dale feverish
glance Of inquiry.
"He just fell over" said the latter
pitifully. Her answer seemed to re-

weight on his mind. He drew long
breath, and turned back toward Elem

Lizzie bounced up from her chair,

"TwoY' she walled. eff you know

The doctor overlooked her sudden
eruption into the scene. He wandered

cover of pretending to arrange the
tray of food that lay untouched on

key Of the front door, unperceiyed by

CHAPTER VI-Continued


He stopped. His right hand moved
Idly over the edge of the table-halted
beside an ash tray-closed upon some
thing.
Miss Cornelia arose.

Dale nodded. eyes" She could not

Anderson seemed somewhat i'm
impressed by the fierceness Of her
query. When he went on, it was with
less harshness in his manner.
'Tm not accusing this girl" he said,
more gently. 'But behind every crime
there is motive. When we've found
the motive for this crime, we'll have
found the criminal"
Unobserved, Dale's hand instructive

room and the truth that might clear

hide it-get it out of her hands
before Anderson's third-degree meth
eds broke her down or he insisted on
a search of her person. Her eyes roved
wildly about the room, looking for a
hiding place.
The rain of Anderson's questions be-
gan anew.
what papers did Fleming burn in
that grate? he asked abruptly, turn
ing back to Dale.
'Papers!" she faltered.
''PapersI The ashes are still there. /"
Miss Cornelia made an unayailiny
interruption.

The detective smiled.

cigarette he had taken from the ash
tray a moment before.
"His cigarette-with his monogram

envelope and marched over to the fire.

The doctor knelt beside the huddle

the raincoat that covered the face of
the corpse and stared at the dead
blank mask. Till a moment ago, even
at the height of his irritation with
Bailey. he had been blithe and off
hand-a man who seemed comparative
ly young for his years. Now age
seemed to fall upon him, suddenly,
like a gray, clinging dust-he looked
stricken and feeble under the impact
of this unexpected shock.
"Shot and killed from that stair
way" he repeated, duly. He rose
from his knees and glanced at the ia
tai stairs. Then:
"What was Richard Fleming doing
in this house at this hour?" he said.
He spoke to Miss Cornelia but An
derson answered the question.
~Thats what I'm trying to find
out" he said, with saturnine smile.
The doctor gave him look Of as
