explained twas q 3-inch section of a
pencil, carefully cut and trimmed. I
assumed that it was a homemade up
right such as is used in figure
traps. Let us see If 1t works."
, He tipped the statue forward and
propped the piece of pencil under the
rear edge of the statues base. He took
his hands away, and the statue stood
leading toward us, perilously balanced.
For a moment it seemed as If it might
topple over Of it's own accord, but the
prepared pencil was apparently the ex-
act length necessary to tilt the statue
forward without quite upsetting its
equilibrium

stepped down from the chair. Now,
we will proceed with the experiment"
He moved the chair to one side, and
arranged the two sofa pillows over the
spot where Kyle's head had lain at the
foot of Anubls. Then he Strengthened

the position of that curtain; consider
the position of the loose brass ring
under the edge of the statue; observe
the fitting attitude of Our Lady of Ven
geance and then picture the arrival
of Kyle this morning. He had been in
formed that the new treasures were in
the end cabinet, with the curtain drawn.
He told Brush not to disturb DR.. Bliss,

II am not suggesting" he continued.
that Kyle met his end as the result
of a death trap. In fact I do not even
know If my reconstructed trap will work.
But I am advancing the theory as a
possibility; for If the defense attorneys
can show that Kyle could have been
murdered by some one other than DR..
Bliss-that Is, by an absent person
then the case against him would receive
a decided setback"
He stepped over to the statue OF
Anubis. Lifting up the lower left-hand
corner of the curtain, he stood close
against the west wall of the museum.
Let us say that Kyle, after taking
his position before this end cabinet,
reached out and drew the curtain aside
Now, what would have happened-pro-
vided the death trap had actually been
Set?"
He gave the curtain q sharp jerk to
the right. It moved over the rod until
it was caught and held halfway across
by the brass ring that had been insert
ed beneath Sakhmet's base. The jar
dislodged the statue from its perilously
balanced position. 1t toppled forward
and fell with terrific thud upon the
sofa pillows, in the exact spot where
Kyle's head had lain.
There were several moments OF
silence. Markham continued to smoke,
his eyes focused on the fallen statue.
He was frowning and thoughtful.

may have nothing to do with it. On
the other hand"
He leaned over and with considerable
effort, lifted the statue of Sakhmet. Gas
1 have said. the statue was about feet
high. It was solidly sculptured and had
heavy thick base I later lifted the
statue to test it, and I should say it
weighed at least 80 pounds. Vance,
stepping on a chair, placed the statue,
with great precision, on top of the cabi-
net at the very edge of the molding.
Having carefully superimposed its base
over the outlines in the dust, he drew
the curtain shut. Then he took the
free brass ring in his left hand, turned
the corner of the curtain back until the
ring reached the left-hand edge of the
statue, tipped the statue to the right
and placed the ring just under the for
ward edge of the statues base.
Having done this, he reached into
his coat pocket and drew forth the OBJ
ject he had found on the top of the
cabinet. He held it up to us.

demonstration had everted, to q great
extent, all his set theories. He giared
at the statue of Sakhmet with per-
picked amazement. his cigar held tight
ly between his teeth.
Vance was the first to speak.
THE experiment seems to have
worked. don't y'know. Really, I think
I've demonstrated the possibility of
Kyle's having been killed while alone In
the museum Kyle was rather
short in stature, and there was SUM-
cient distance between the top of the
cabinet and Kyle's head for the statue
to have gained a deadly momentum.
The width of the cabinet is only lit
tie over two feet, so that it would have
been inevitable that the statue would
hit him on the head, provided he had
been standing in front Of It, And he
obviously would have stood directly in
front of it when he pulled the curtain.
The weight of the statue is sufficient
to have caused the terrific fracture of
his skull. and the position of the statue
across the back Of his head is wholly
consistent with his having been killed
by a carefully planned trap"
Vance made a slight gesture Of en-
phasis.
