Properly analysed they'll tell us every
thing we want to know"
Markham glanced again through the
pages.
IF it wasn't for certain items, we
could make out case against several
people. But no matter what person in
the list we may assume to be guilty, we
are at once confronted by group OF
contradictory and insurmountable facts.
This precis could be used effectively to
prove that every one concerned is in
nocent."
"Superficially 1t appears that way
agreed Vance. But we first mast find
the generating line of the design, and
then relate the subsidi'ry forms of the
pattern to it."
Markham made a hopeless gesture.

was the instrument by means of which

General Facts.
I. An atmosphere of mutual hatred
pervades the Greene mansion.
2. Mrs. Greene is a nagging, COM
planning paralytic, making life miser-
able for the whole household.
3. There are five chtldren-two
daughters, two sons, and one adopted
daughter--who have nothing In COM
mon, and live in q state of constant
antagonism and bitterness toward one
another.
4. Though Mrs Mannheim, the cook,
was acquainted with Tobias Greene
years ago and was remembered in his
WILL she refuses to reveal any of the
facts in her past.

lated that the family must live in the

ciisinheritance, with the one exception
that, Ii Ada should marry, she could
establish a residence elsewhere, as she
was not of the Greene blood. BY the
will Mrs. Greene has the handling and
disposition of the money.
g. Mrs. Greene's will makes the fivee
children equal beneficiaries. In event OF
death of any of them the survivors
share alike: and If all should die the
estate goes to their families, II any.

Sibella's and Mrs. Greene's face each

Ada's and Mrs. Greenes, and these two
rooms also give on the same balcony.

The woman picked UP her sewing

and then turned back to Ada.
DO you know of any one who might

'I-dont know" the girl stammered,
her lips trembling
Come; that won't do" Vance spoke
with some asperity. This isn't the
