asked Penfield quickly. Don't you live in the cottage some little dis tance from the house?"
 Yes The mans fingers played with his beard. There's tele- phone connection between my cot tage and the big house." he added Monday, bout midnight or there after, I disremember the exact time, the phone bell rung, once twice but nobody answered when i called Hello"
 What then?" questioned the coroner. Did you phone Central?'
 "'Twarn't no use." he said. That there phone to the big house is a buried line and don't connect mo- where else, not even with Central. That's why got uneasy. cause reasoned the call musta come from the big house. though I couldn't raise no one at the other end of the phone. So I slips into my duds an takin' my electric torch I cir cled around the house; that's how I come on Dr. Kane's body"
 About this telephone direct to your cottage Penfield began after a seconds pause. Where is it To- cated in the big house?"
 Tn Mrs. Winslow's bedroom"
 Gilbert Glover was summoned.
 You made the sixth. of the poker party" began Penfield, after Grover had answered his prelimi- nary questions. Did any unusual occurrence mark the evening""
 T won" Glover's smile showed his handsome teeth. And Jack Winslow lost-as usual"
 "Ah, was he a heavy loser?"
 Glover moved uncomfortably. "He was out several hundred dollars D he answered gruffly. T don't re- call the exact sum-"
 Do you recall whether or not Jack Winslow left the card room before Ferguson told you of find ing Dr. kane's bdy?"
 Sure. he went upstairs to get his check book"
 At what hour was that?" eager ly. Did he stay long?"

 And have you cashed that check?"
 Glover's color deepened to yet redder tinge. What has that to do with Dr. Kane's murder?" he de- manded hotly. T object to answer ing irrelevant questions"
 We are the best judge of It's relevancy" retorted Penfield, "and I repeat my question, and in an- swering it, remember that you are on oath to tell the truth. Have you cashed that check?"
 Not yet" but Penfield haG caught his suddenly averted look and persisted in his questioning.
 Did you try to cash that check? Come, sir, did you?"
 Yes"
 And it came back from the bank?"
 "Yes." Glover looked shame facedly about. Ut was marked 'N.G.'"
 The good looks of the pretty housemaid. next on the witness stand, were distinctly marred, or so the coroner thought, by the patches of red on each cheek, but while he attributed the over-bril- liant, color to rouge, Lucy's head felt light from the fever consum- ing her.
 Well, Miss Smith," The coro- ner's voice echoed loudly in Lucys ears. And what were you doing or Monday night, say between the hours of ten p. m. and two a. m. ?"
 Please, sir, sleepin'."
 Did you see pr. Kane?" he in quired after a seconds pause.
 T was in the hall when he got out of the elevator with MT. Wins low" she responded. "Mr. Winslow tcld me to be sure and put plenty O. clean towels in his bathroom so I carried more in there. Dr. Kane had gone downstairs again."
 T see" Penfield bent forward and gazed with disconcerting in- tentness at Lucy. Are you quite certain, Miss Smith, that you were not disturbed in the night, for in- stance" as a frightened look crept into her eyes: didn't you hear some woman crying?"
