SYNOPSIS: Seven men saw Roger Pcll die in the Fother- bury library. Five of them hated him, two obviously were his friends including Tom Grenofen, whose secret love for Veronica Seabroke entangled him in the Peli enigma. Yet not one of the seven could or would-tell who fired the fatal shot. Professor Laxton, an archeologist, failed to appear to give his opinion of buried antiquarian treasures which at tracted Pell to Blackwater. Peli turned on his enemies, and, in a dramatic scene, was about to produce a ghost for the benc- fit of the trembling Parson Marling, Pell's chief foe. Pell stopped to unbolt the door. A pistol r0ared. Pell fell dead. In- spect0r Wayne refuses to be- lieve the story of the seven witnesses, and is about to charge that

DOUGLAS
 NEVIS
MRS. SCHUMAN
 PASSES AWAY
Death Comes to Wellknown
 Resident of Douglas, Tn California

Word came yesterday of the deatl Sunday at Pacific Grove, Califor- mia, of Mrs. Herbert Schuman CMat Mccormick daughter of MT. ant Mrs. Richard Mccormick of Doug las. The young lady had beer in very critical condition fol some time and although recovery was rather doubtful, her death comes as distinct shock to her many friends in the north as well as to her folks.
 Born in Douglas 37 years ago Mrs. Schuman spent all but about ten years of her life on the Island and was one of Douglas most pop ular and well-liked daughters. She was one of the first four gradu- ates of Douglas high school, class 1911. In 1914, she was married to MT Schuman of Treadwell. One son, Richard, age 13, and her hus- band survive
 Last week, Mrs. R. Mccormick, accompanied by her daughter Rita, left here for Pacific Grove to be at her daughters bedside They expected to be met in Seattle by Mrs. Mccormick son William, who was to drive them down. It is not believed that they reached their destination in time.
 Arrangements for the funeral are undoubtedly awaiting their arrival in Pacific Grove.

 One solitary figure remained-Mar- ling, sitting in the chair by the J hearth, deadly pale and agitated

 .ng moment I have ever lived
 trough. Six of us had passed the
 est. One had to be the seventh

 Iarling!
 You are a clergym a n, sir
 Wayne said after an unbearable
 esitation. 'If you tell me that Jou have no weapon, l will accept your word"
 Marling rose and walked up to the inspector, strangely impress sive man, with his pallid face, that ring of dark hair like a tonsure and his flying black robe.
 Search me-" said he, just as you have the others"
 Marling had joined us when I opened my eyes-for I could not endure the sight of Wayne passing l hands over his clothine-and the I bcwildered inspector, full of sus- picion, regarding us with a deeper | frown
 Wayne disbelieved us. He was going back to his first theory of a collision between us.
 Then began that impotent visita- ton by Wayne of every corner of the great apartment. Although it was an oblong room with plain walls and little furniture, except 1 the table, and a few chairs, thorough search for pistol would have taken many hours. Any book of the many thousands might have hidden it. Wayne walked slowly round looking at the cases, evident ly for signs of a recent disturb ance. He felt the cushions of the two big chairs by the hearth. He stopped to look into the wide chimney. Thus he worked round 1 to the end of the room where we stood
 There he stayed, looking down upon the body of Pell, from that to the door, and from the door to us. As Wayne stood contemplating the body of Pell, and manifestly in doubt as to his next step, there suddenly entered my head a notion which assumed large importance afterwards.
 Was it possible that we were all suffering from hallucination? That we had not seen what we thought we saw? Or that, with our minds strained in one direction by Pell's conduct, they had been unable to switch off quickly enough to grasp everything that happened? Wayne started at a movement made by the constable, at the door. The man bent his head in the at titude of listening-the sound of voices and steps were growing louder along the stone corridor. There was loud rap on the door Wayne gave sign to the con- stable who drew back the bolts and pulled the door open. It swung back towards us so that we could not see who had knocked. But I hear the question asked by the footman.
 Could you come with me, if you please? There's something wrong"
 Whats wrong?" said Wayne. 'It's man--I don't know if he's dead Is the doctor still here?" Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co., Another mystery stalking into

THE ACQUISITION

"One of seven men shot Roger Pell, unless"
 Inspector Wayne hesitatcd, his in- sistent gaze boring into each of us in turn.
 "Unless," he continued, this is all camoflage of something else. And none of you shot him. And the man who did shoot him has got away. With your connivance."
 MT. Fotherbury shook his head
 "Then you tell me that when the shot was fired nobody else was here?"
 Nobody"
 The inspector strode to the tele- phone and rang up his station. He gave sharp instruction: to send for the chief constable and to in- form him that murder had been committed at Newplace Abbey, and that the case called for the best ,fan that Scotland Yard could send down.
 Now" the inspector again turned on us, what happened here before the murder?"
 ''Who had better tell the story?o said MT. Fotherbury, glancing from one to another. MT. Grenofen, would you?"
 'If you wish" said I.
 'aThanks," Fotherbury replie d. MT. Wayne, I had arranged with Professor Laxton of the British Mu- scum to meet my friends here this afternoon to hear MT. Pells descrip- tion of the excavations. Laxton did not arrive and we were waiting for him when this affair began. Now, MT. Grenofen."
 I told the story from beginning to end
 While speaking I kept my eye steadily on Mir Wayne. I saw his look travelling among the persons in the room as I mentioned them in turn, reporting Pell's outbursts.
 I was absolutely interrupted.
 The inspector nodded.
 "Pell,a said he, casting a glance to the floor behind him, seems to have been a raving lunatic, still you know, we lock up lunatics; we don't shoot them. suppose nothing else has occurred to you gentlemen as a test of what actually hap pened?'
 I looked at him wonderingly.
 There is,' he added. "one all most infallible test. Some time before we leave this room it must be applied. Now, if you like. It's for you to choose"
 He suddenly pointed his finger at me.
 MT. Grenofen," the inspector said. Ion the instant of the shoot ing all seven rushed to the fallen nan--then, without other move ment. six took the chairs and MT. Fotherbury went to the telephone?"
 "As fas as I observed-yes.
 After that" the inspector con- tinued, nobody moved until l came"
 Nobody"
 Then" said Mir. Wayne, If we now proceed to discover the gun that fired the shot, we shall east the minds of six out of the seven
 The effect of these simple words was electrical-the words we had dreaded, had not dared to utter. wayne leaned upon the table, close ly watching the play of expressions on our faces.
 Are you willing the inspector search us?" Fotherbury asked. I'll lead the way. Where shall we stand, MT. Wayne"
 Remain where you are. Sander sonl Draw my attention to anyone who moves!'
 The inspector acted quickly. He fastened on Somerfield and went
