oath that no one else called on Miss

no one, except her escort, left her
apartment after that hour?"

He was plainly telling the truth,
and Markham pondered several
moments before proceeding.
What about the side door?"
THAT'S kept locked all night,
sir. The janitor bolts it when he
leaves, and unbolts it in the morn
ing. I never touch it."
Markham leaned back and
turned to Heath.
1.-THE testimony of the janitor and
Jessup here" he said, seems to
limit the situation pretty narrowly
to Miss Odelrs escort.
eff, as seems reasonable to assume,
the side door was bolted all night,
and if no other caller came or went
through the front door, it looks as
if the man we wanted to find was
the one who brought her home"
Heath gave short, mirthlesS
laugh.
THAT would be fine, sir, if
something else hadn't happened
around here last night" Then, to
Jessup:
Tell the district attorney the rest
Of the story about this man."
Markham looked toward the op-
orator with expectant interest; and
Vance, lifting himself on one elbow,
listened attentively.
JeSSup spoke in level voice, with
the alert and careful manner of a
soldier reporting to his superior Of
f1cer.
ct was just this, sir. When the
gentleman came out of Miss Odell'S
apartment at about half past eleven,
he stopped at the switchboard and
asked me to get him a yellow
taxicab.
"I put the call through, and
while he was waiting for the car,
Miss Odel screamed and called for
help.
1.-The gentlemen turned and
rushed to the apartment door, and
I followed quickly behind him.
HE knocked; but at first there
was no answer. Then he knocked
again, and at the same time called
out to Miss Odell and asked her
what was the matter. This time
she answered.
"She said everything was all
right, and told him to go home
and not worry. Then he walked
back with me to the switchboard,
remarking that he guessed Miss
Odell must have fallen asleep and
had a nightmare.
I'VE talked for a few minutes
about the war. and then the taxi
cab came. He said good night, and
went out, and I heard the car drive
away"

Odell's anonymous escort COM
pletely upset Markham's theory of
the case.
He looked down at the floor with
baff1ed expression, and smoked
vigorously for several moments. At
last he asked:
How long was it after this man
came out of the apartment that you
heard Miss Odell scream? And just
what did she say when she called
for help?"
"She screamed twice, and then
cried, Help! HelpT"
And when the man knocked on
the door the second time, what dio
he sayP"
"As near as I can recollect, sir,
he said: open the door, Margaret!
What's the trouble?"
And can you remember her
exact words when she answered
him?"
JesSup hesitated, and frowned re-
flectively.
"As I recall, she said: There's
nothing the matter. I'm sorry
screamed. Everything's all right, so
please go home, and don't worry
-. OF course, that may not be eX-
actly what she said, but it was some
thing very close to it,"
you could hear her plainly
through the door, then?"
"Oh, yes. These doors are not
very thick"
Markham rose, and began pacing,
meditatively. At length, hating in
front Of the operator, he asked
another question:
did you hear any other suspicious
sounds in this apartment after the
man left?"
Not a sound Of any kind, sir"
JesSup declared.
"Some one from outside the build
ing, however, telephoned Miss Odell
about ten minutes later, and a
