 The coroner nodded. Tt would have been best" he responded dry ly and his air clearly indicated disapproval. Your son tells me that you found Dr. Kane here. The body should not have been removed; I cannot understand why McLane permitted it."
 He wasn't here then" explained Winslow. We were so overcome by the tragedy that none of us thought clearly; our main idea was to get poor Kane indoors and re- suscitate him" He paused and glanced in awe at the upper win dow. Kane must have died in stantly when he struck the ground. "
 Penfield measured the distance from the window to the ground with his eye, then bowed his head. "A fall from there might break any body's neck" he agreed. But come, speculation is idle. Where is the body now?'
 On the lounge in the card room. Coming with us, Jack?p
 I'll join you later" and Jack trudged off down the circular path leading to the big brick and stone garage.
 Weiting until the other two were out of sight, the boy retraced his footsteps but this time, instead of pausing at the spot where he and the coroner had stopped fifteen minutes earlier, he continued past the glassed-in loggia used both as breakfast room and sun parler, to a window next to it on the first floor.
 With a movement almost feverish in it's haste, Jack stopped over and swept his hand along the brown

the sight of the prone figure on the lounge. The room still bore evidence of the game of the night before; playing cards filtered the table, poker chips were scattered even on the floor, while decanters and soiled glasses, with plate of stale sandwiches were on a small end table. As the men drew closer to the still body, Coroner Penfield was the first to break the silence.
 MT. Winslow," he began, was Dr. Kane in good health before re- tiring last night?'

 This ere gentleman has pint ment with your father explained the gardener.
 My name is Thorne." The de- tective's pleasant voice was relief after Ferguson's throaty tones. Your father" with a quietly ap- praising look at Jack which missed nothing, 'telephoned for me to come at once. Can I see him?"
 IT suppose so" doubtfully. "Will you come this way?' and wasting no further words, Jack started for the front of the house, With hitch at his trousers and passing glance at the undertaker's assistants, Ferguson followed Jack and the detective, although at a respectable distance.
 Thank God you've come,a ejacu- lated Winslow. My guest, the noted surgeon, P Paul Kane, accidentally fell out of second-story window last night and died instantly
 The detective looked at the older man with quickened interest.
 Horrible" he exclaimed. "Is there anything that I can do?"
 Coroner Penfield wants you, Dad" and not waiting for the oth- CTS, Jack hastened to the card room. He was only a second or two ahead of Winslow, whose brief come along" proved an invitation not only to Thorne but to the gardener who trailed behind them.

DO YOU
 SUFFER WITH
 HEADACHE?

So easy to get quick relief and pre- vent an attack in the future. Avoid bromides and dope. They relieve quick ly but affect the heart and are very dangerous. They are depressing and only give temporary relief, the cause of the headache still remains within.
 The sane and harmless way. First correct the cause, sweeten the sour and acid stomach, relieve the intes- tines of the decayed and poisonous food matter, gently,stimulate the liver, start the bile flowing and the bowels pass off the waste matter which causes your headache. Ask your druggist for red pkg. of Carter's Little Liver Pills.

 Winsiow took a step backward. "What!" he exclaimed. Whats the matter with McLane?"
 Nothing shortly. But in case of accidental death He paused
 Its a pity you didn't call the coroner at once.'
 "Dr. McLane is my family physi- clan" Winslow spoke with some asperity. T naturally thought of him first. Did you call the cor oner?"
 No; Dr. McLane talked to him on the telephone Payne drew to behind him while still speaking Why don't you see the doctor? Hell advise you about the techni- ealities of the case
 Winslow continued to stare blank ly at the front door for several sec- onds after the under takers depar- ture, then he turned heavily and walked over to the small telephone stand

about the room. One of the electric fixtures against the wall had an extension cord attached. Pick ing up the bulb he carried it to the tiny closet and looked inside.
 Evidently the closet, or cupboard, was used as a general dump for dis carded articles, for in one corner Thorne saw a dozen or more wood en shoe trees and picked one up. The rust on the steel joint betok- ened age, as did the black smut on the wooden arch, and he tossed it back in the box
 Going over, to the door, he switched off the light and shot the bolt noiselessly back, then softly very softly, turned the short knob of the lock and drew open the door, inch by inch. Peering into the inn penetrable blackness of the attic, he waited, but no sound disturbed the silence. Shutting the door ot Jacks workshop carefully, the de- teetive crept along, headed for the second story, but this time he chose the stairs instead of the elevator.
 Walls inclosed the stairs and a door opening into the servants quarters, gave admittance to them
 With no light to guide him, only his abnormal sense of locality, he moved on down the hall, keeping in the center of the heavy strip of carpet; he dared not run the risk of pumping against a bedroom door and thus awakening the sleep ing occupant. Only by turn in the carpet strip could he tell he had reached the main hallway There he paused, perplexed, for i. also was in darkness, contrary to

 as he stood with back against the wall. He slid one foot along af- ter the other, sideways, until he
 judged he must be halfway around the room and almost opposite the window. He ran his left hand over the board paneling in search of a light switch As he again moved sideways, his shoulders brushed against a door jamb and he halted. This time his grop
 ing fingers found the switch.
 1 Thorne blinked, blinded by the light. It was a second before he saw clearly. He had the room to himself. Turning to the door he thrust the brass bolt on it in place, then made a minute survey of what had been Jack Winslow's workshop. The only indication of the purpose to which the room had been put was the long sink against the wall, the special electric fixtures hang ing from the ceiling and a built in shelf with glass doors. Except for that and a fire eXtinguisher, the walls were bare.
 Careful to keep from walking be- tween the light and the window, Thorne dropped on hands and knees and circled the room. The walls and ceiling were paneled with wall board and he had about completed his tour when he spied break in the paneling. Drawing closer, he saw that itfwas panel set on hinges. It opened easily and he locked into a dark aperture. With an inward curse that he had neglected to bring his flash light with him, he glanced hurriedly

His bedroom lay. as he remembered it, to the left and he faced in that direction just as a sound to the right reach ed him, and he swung about.
 Thorne grew rigid. Was the person, not five yards from him, approaching or going in the oppo- site direction? One minute. two minutes passed, then Thorne took the initiative and advanced along the hall his "creepers" making no sound. Something loomed out of the darkness ahead and his out flung arms closed about a woman's form. His hand across her mouth, untitled her terrified scream to a gurgle, and half lifting, half drag ging her along, he entered the open door of a vacant bedroom and switched on the light as she drop ped to the floor at his feet.

 For several minutes Thorne lay where he was, too spent for fur ther exertion, but his brain was on fire. Had the person in the room seen him as he shot by the window? No, by heaven, that mad whirlwind dancer could never have detected him. And yet-and yet the light had gone out.
 Slowly, cautiously, he drew him. self up on the ledge and crouch ing against the window, leaning his weight against it to keep his bal ance. The window, like all in the house, opened outward and was in two sections, resembling small, glass paned doors. Thorne's hand felt along his belt of tools and he drew out a piece of paste paper.
