away; and it couldn't possibly have
been knocked over in the struggle.
No, it won't do. It's got no
business being upset, any more than
that pretty mirror over the gate

broken. That's why it's queer"
what about those chairs and the
little table?" asked Heath, pointing
to two small gilded chairs which
had been overturned, and a fragile
tip-table that lay on its side near
the piano.
"Oh, they fit into the ensemble"
returned Vance. They're all light
pieces of furniture which could cas-
lily have been knocked over or
thrown aside by the hasty gentle
man who rifled these rooms"
1.-THE lamp might have been
knocked over in the same way"

able, Sergeant. 1t has solid bronze
base, and isn't at all topheavy; and
being set well back ON the table, it
wasn't in any ones way. e. That
lamp was upset deliberately"
The sergeant was silent for a
while. Experience had taught him
not to underestimate Vance's OBJ
Servations; and, must confess, as
I looked at the lamp lying on its
side on the end of the library table,
well removed from any of the other
disordered objects in the room,
Vance's argument seemed to possess
considerable force.
I tried hard to fit it into a hasty
reconstruction of the crime, but was
utterly unable to do so.
Anything else that don't seem to
fit into the picture?" Heath at
length asked.
Vance pointed with his cigaret
toward the clothes-cloSet in the
living-room. This closet was along
side of the foyer, in the corner
near the Boule cabinet, directly OPP

"That's the second time you've said
that. But there's nothing what
you'd call queer about this mess.
It is straightaway case"
TIE spoke with an overtone of in
Il Il Sistence, like man arguing
against his own insecurity Of opin-
ion.
1.-THE dress might've been torn al
most any time" he went on Stub
bornly. "And the flower might've
got caught in the lace of her skirt
so it couldn't roll off,"
"And how would you explain the
jewel-case, Sergeant?" asked Vance.
"Well, the fellow might've tried
the poker, and then, finding it
wouldn't work, used his jimmy"
IF he had the efficient jimmy"
countered Vance, "why did he go to
the trouble of bringing the silly
poker from the living-room?"
The sergeant shook his head per-
pleXedly.
"You never can tell why some of
these crooks act the way they do"
"Tut, tut!" Vance chided him.
"There should be no such word as
never in the bright lexicon of de-
tecting."
Heath regarded him sharply. WAS
there anything else that struck you
as queer?" His subtle doubts were
yelling up again.

table in the other room"

what if it has?" Heath was
frankly puzzled. Damn near every
thing in this apartment has been
knocked crooked"
"Ah! But there's a reason for
most of the other things having
been diSturbed-like the drawers and
pigeonholeS and closets and vases.
They all indicate search; they're
consistent with a raid for loot. But

note.

One can't lock closet door with
the key on the inside-can one,
sergeant?"
THE key may not mean any
thing" Heath observed hopefully.
Maybe the door was never locked.
Anyhow, We'll find out about that
pretty soon. I'm holding the maid
outside, and I'm going to have her
on the carpet as soon as the cap

He turned to Duboic, who, hav-
ing completed his search for finger
prints in the bedroom, was now
inspecting the piano.

Il decided. "I'll get the body to
the mortuary right away. Let's have
the post-mortem as soon as you
can"
you'll get report in the morn
ing" And despite his apparent
eagerness to be off, Doctor Doremus
stepped into the bedroom ana shook
hands with Heath and Markham and
Inspector Moran before he hurried
out.
Heath followed him to the door,
and 1 heard him direct the Of
f1cer outside to telephone the de-
partment of public welfare to send
an ambulance at once for the girls
body.
"Such detachment" Vance said to
Markham. Here you are Stewing
most distressingly over the passing
Of one damsel fair and frail, and
that blithe medicus is worrying only
over a sluggish liver brought on by
early rising"
What has he to be upset over?"
complained Markham. 1.-THE news
papers are not riding him with
spurs. And, by the way, what
was the point of your questions about
the torn dresS?"
Vance lazily inspected the tip Of
his cigaret.
Consider" he said. 1.-THE lady
was evidently taken by surprise; for,
had there been a struggle before
hand, she would not have been
strangled from behind while sitting
down. Therefore, her gown and
corsage were undoubtedly intact at
the time she was seized.
But-despite the conclusion of
your dashing Paracelsus-the dam
age to her toilet was not Of a ma
ture that could have been self
inflicted in her struggle for air.
IF she had felt the construction
of the gown across her breast, she
would have snatched the bodice itself
by putting her fingers inside the
band.
'But, If you noticed, her bodice
was intact; the only thing that had
been torn was the deep lace flounce
on the outside; and it had been
torn, or rather ripped, by a strong
lateral pull; whereas, in the cir
cumstances, any wrench on her part
would have been downward or out
ward"
Inspector Moran was listening in
tently, but Heath seemed restless
and impatient; apparently he re-
garded the torn gown as irrelevant
to the simple main issue.
Moreover" Vance went on, there
is the corsage. If she herself had
torn it off while being strangled,
it would doubtless have fallen to
the floor; for, remember, she offered
considerable resistance. Her body
was twisted sidewise; her knee was
drawn up, and one slipper had been
kicked off.
Nov, no bunch Of silken posies
is going to remain in a lady's lap
during such g commotion. Even
when ladies sit still, their gloves
and handbags and handkerchiefs
and programs and serviettes are
forever sliding off their laps on
to the floor, don't y know"
But If your arguments correct"
protested Markham, then the tear
ing of the lace and the snatching
of OF the corsage could have been
done after she was dead. And I
can't see any object in such sense

It's all devilish queer"

Same here" supplemented Bel
lamy gruffly, on his knees before
the escritoire.
Vance, with a sardonic smile,
turned and walked to the window,
where he stood looking out and
smoking placidly, as If his entire
interest In the case had evaporated.
At this moment the door from
the main hall opened, and a short
thin little man, with gray hair and
a scraggly beard, stepped inside and
stood blinking against the vivid SUM-
light.
Good morning, Professor" Heath
greeted the newcomer. "Glad to see
you. I've got something nifty, right
in your line"

"You might let your mind daily
a moment with the condition of
that clothes-press," suggested
Vance carelessly. "You will note
that, though the doors ajar, the
contents have not been touched.
And it's about the only area in the
apartment that hasn't been dis
turbed."
Heath walked over and looked
into the closet.

queer" he finally conceded.
