A strange scene greeted
him as he opened his door.
Sam Lanier, who had found
another car when Dick took
Felicia in his, was smiling
amiably, sitting in a chair,
idly turning an automatic
over in his big hands. J. B.,
sleepy, but smiling, was sit
ting in another chair, and
Edith Feeley, in street
clothes, was weeping bitterly
into a handkerchief.
'esOh, hello!'' Lanier
greeted Dick. 'fThe little
lady has been going through
your papers. I thought I'd
keep her here until you got
back. -
Dick looked at Edith Fee
ley disma1ly. What did he
care-about anything-nowf

voice was barely audible.
"Don t. mention it" he
replied.
She got out of the car,

But you need it and you re

Dick listened sulkily and
sulkily thought over j. BIS
words. Well, it wouldn't
do any harm to talk frankly
with Felicia, as J. B. sug-
gested. It wouldn't make
any difference, either, he

earnestly, sitting there in

the roadster. "Oh, I'm not
going to excuse myself! But
If you'll listen, Dick"
He listened stolidly. But
the sound of her voice was
sweet to his ears, and the
feeling Of her nearness made
him tremble.
He stopped the car alb

"Oh, damn it all, Felicia,

makeF No matter what

His voice shook with emo
ton, and suddenly she was
in his arms, close against
his breast, and he was kiss
ing her lips, her eyes, her
hair, straining her against
him.
She was crying, softly.
"I'm so sorry-so ashamed!
Oh, Dick darling -"
"Hush I" He stroked her
hair from her forehead.
"It's in the air-restless-
ness, excitement, general
looseness. )"
"And yet it doesn't seem
to touch the people who
live here-people like Ann
and Tom," Felicia puzzled.

rest is easy. But you and I,
Felicia-we have something

He said goodnight and went

He did not see Felicia for
a week; then, again at the
Coopers, he was placed be-

She looked thin, almost hag-

SYNOPSIS: Tom Grenofen's love for Veronica Seabroke had first entangled him in the mystery of Roger PeIl. Now Pell was dead-seven men saw him killed; not one could tell who fired the shot. Inspector Wayne is dumbfounded by the story--no one had left the locked library, none of the spectators carries a pistol. Peli was slain as he stopped to un- bolt the door. to reveal a ghost for Parson Marling, the most bitter of his five enemies in the room. A startling theory is snggested-murder through the keyhoIc. Professor LaxtOn did not reach the fateful meeting to give him opinion on arche- illogical treasures, which lured Fell to Blackwater. And Lax ton is found in the corridor, unconscious. He is revived and Wayne quickly questions him lis Laxt0n the slayer?

THE RIDING RENEGADE" AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

Bob Steele, FBO Western star, was destined to become a portray CT of open space roles before he was able to walk. Robert North Bradbury, supervisor of Western productions for FBO and Bob's father, realized that his son would undoubtedly inherit a desire for the stage or screen, because both his father and mother had been legiti- mate actors of note. So Bradbury decided that the rugged life of Western star was the best that the screen had to offer. Bob was started on rigorous course of training when he was barely able to walk. He learned to ride al- most as soon as he could sit on horse.

his arrival at the inn Pell was dead. In the public mind he was not only dead but quickly forgot lten.
 For me, however, no sooner had Pell died than he began to live again, to dog my steps and haunt | my thoughts.
 It began the very night of his death. We finished the business with the officials about eight o'clock, all of us undertaking to keep the police informed of our movements till after the inquest.
 I went home alone. My mother met me in the hall.
 Your ridiculous meetings last ed a long time" said she. "Dined? No? Good; I've waited for you. Meanwhile there's a visitor in the drawing room. Come and speak to her"
 My mother was not usually mys- terious, and I wondered why she did not tell me at once who had called. However, I followed her into the drawing room and there was Mrs. Seabroke. How dye do, Mrs. Seabroke," !" said I. What a lovely day"
 You needn't keep it up, MT. Grenofen," said she. T know all about tits all over the place.
 "About-?"
 "The terrible affair at MT. Foth- crburys. Commander Seabroke hadn't returned, so I came along to see if by any chance he was with you"
 And then I percieved that Mrs. Seabroke was almost at breaking point. She clenched her teeth af- ter she had spoken, and her face became bloodless.
 oh" I assured her, q saw the commander talking to Dr. Eastley In the drive. He'll probably be along any minute
 She began, but did not finish a question. Instead she said: I'm fairly tough, MT. Grenofen. If there's anything to tell, you can tell me all about it"
 I told her in a few sentences She listened with horror in her eyes. Then she looked at me, seeming to hesitate on the point of speech It came at last.
 Veronica says you're an under standing person, Mir Grenofen. I wonder whether I could trespass on your friendship to break the news to her?"
 "Tell her about Pell, you mean?"
 "Yes-and that Commander Sea- broke is coming home to dinner"
 "Of course" said I. Delighted Shall I go right on now?"'
 "Oh, I shouldn't be so foolish as to ask you to do that. But Veron- icas not home. I wondered if, after you've dined, you would go along the cliff path and meet her. Veronica's been to Hollam Bay to see a friend and she's walking back along the caost I expect her about ten. If you would-well, if she could know about it before she came in?"
 It did not need particularly lively understanding to perceive the peculiarity of Mrs. Seabroke's con- duct and request She had been on wires till she learned that her husband was on his way back from Newplace Then she asked me to meet Veronica at 10 o'clock to tell her that her father would be home Ito dinner at half past eight. 1 Copyright, 1929, Wm.

Chapter Il THE GHOST OF FELL

lliSptClOI Wdyuc Wdo oddly uio- appointed by his questioning of Professor Laxton, whom he had selected as the most likely ghost to have fired through the keyhole.
 Laxton's account was quite sim pie. He had arrived in the morn ing, walking from Brimpton, where his car had broken down, and learned at the gatehouse that MT. Fotherbury was out. He had walked straight to the site of the excavations and had look around.
 Then he had gone to Brimpton. had lunch there, driven back the car, now repaired, left it at the Lord Nelson and come on to the abbey. It was little late when he arrived. There seemed to be nobody at the diggings, so he called at the house. He saw no servant in the hall, but thought he heard footsteps in a stone corridor, walk ed along it and was passing an opening in the wall when he struck his head against something and struck it so hard that he was stunned.
 Wayne pieced this together with other facts. The blow which had struck Laxton was punch on the point of the chin. The footsteps were those of the footman and my self going to the library. His as- sailant must have pulled the un- conscious Laxton immediately into the passage, and both must have hidden there when the footman returned after showing me the way.
 After this the man lurked in the dark, watched three people pass the entrance: Seabroke, Pell and MT. Fotherbury.
 Within the next few minutes he must have gone to the library door and removed the key. A view of a small section of the library could be got through the keyhole.
 How or why he fired through 1t could not be guessed But when the leap to the door took place and the unboiting began, the gun went off and it went off at the precise in stant when Pell's head passed down as he stopped to the lower bolt
 Wayne spent long time exam ming the keyhole through glasses But he had to give up any hope ot establishing the shot through il by local evidence. The door was two inches thick; the huge lock another two inches. The hole ir the wood on the inside was rough and shapeless. A dozen shots might be fired in it without leaving any sign. Wayne did fire a blank through, and the keyhole showed no sign of it.
 If the murderer was Pell's ghost he might have shot Pell by acci- dent in the attempt to shoot some body else. If not Pell's ghost-well Wayne had now handed the thing oyer to Scotland Yark. The hue anc cry began for The Keyhole Mur- derer.''
 The most curious thing in thu case for me was the success witt which two prevaricators got away with it: Laxton, whose yard aboui his movements, that afternoon wa: an improvised invention, and Mar. ling, who never said word about his previous knowledge of PeA.
 So far as Wayne knew. Roger Peil had no identity but his name Fotherbury said he knew of hin only as casual stranger Marlins declared that he had no glimmer- ing of PelPs meaning in those last wild speeches. Seabroke said Pei was undoubtedly mad. Royle and Somerfield knew Pell only through Newplace Abbey.
 In Pell's effects at the Lord Nell son no hint could be found te trace him back beyond the day of
