And with this procurement. very
typical of his careful and suspicious
mind. the inspector proceeded to search
the rooms on the first floor.
There were three bed rooms and
bath room. Two of the bed rooms were
empty and had clearly not been en-
tered for some weeks. The third. Cap.
TreyelyanS own ro-m, was in exquisite
and apple-pie order. Inspector Narra-
colt moved about in it, opening draw
ers and cupbOardS. Everything was in
its right place. 1t was the room of
man almost fanatically tidy and neat
in his habits. Narracott finished his
inspection and glanced into the adjoin-
ing bath room. Here, too, everything
vas IN order. Then he shook his head
Nothing here" he said.
There are the papers in the desk in
the study, You had better 60 through
those Pollock. III tell Evans he can
60. I may call round and see him at
his own place later
Inspector Narracott left to have q
talk with Maj. Burnaby, but he was
not destined to see the major until he
had had a protracted interview with
Mrs Belling, licensed proprietor of the
Three Crowns. Mrs. Belling was fat
and excitable and so voluble that there
was nothing to be done but to listen
patiently until such time as the stream
of conversation should dry up.
Yes Mr.. Narracott," she proceeded
in answer TO his question, the major
is having his breakfast now. You will
find him in the coffee room. And what
kind of night he has passed, with no
pajamaS or anything. and me a widow
woman with nothing to lend him,
can't say, 1 am sure! Said it made no
matter, he did-all upset and queer as
he was-and no wonder. with his best
friend murdered! Very nice gentle
men, the two of them, though the Cap
tain had the reputation of being close
with his money. All. well. we'll! 1 have
always thought it dangerous to live up
to Sittaford, miles away from anywhere
And here's the Captain struck down in
Exhampton itself. It's always what you
cont expect in this life that happens
isn't it, Mr.. Narracott?"
The inspector said that undoubtedly
it was. Then he added:
Who did you have staying here yes
terday, Mrs. Belling? Any strangers"
Now. let me see. There was Mr.
Moresby and Mr.. Jones-commerci
gentlemen they are. and there was a
young gentleman from London. Nobody
else. 1t stands to reason there wouldn't
be this time of year. Very quiet here
in Winter. Oh, and there was another
young gentleman-arrived by the last
train. Nosey young fellow, call him.
He isn't up yet"
THE last train?" said the inspector
That gets in at 10 o'clock, eh? don't
think We need trouble ourselves about
him. What about the other-the one
from London? Did you know him"
Never saw him before in my life.
Not a commercial gentleman. Oh no
a cut above that. I can't remember his
name for the moment-but you'll find
him in the register. Left on the first
train to Exeter this morning he did.

SYNOPSIS FOR PRECEDING INSTALL


On a bleak English Winters afternoon a
party of neighbors gathered at the home of
Mrs. Willett and her daughter Violet in the
tiny village Of Slttaford. on the fringe OF
Dartmoor. turned to table tipping as an
amusement. Seated around the table were
Mrs. and Miss Willett Mr.; Duke. Mr..
Rycroft, who dabbled in the physic: Ronald
Garfield and Mai Burnaby. For two
months the Willetts had been occupying the
house of Capt joseph Trevelyan. a retired
navy man. who had been unable 10 resist
an offer of IL guineas month rent and
had taken a small house for himself al, 2
guineas month in the nearest town, Ex-
hampton, miles distant. MAI. Burnaby,
his friend for years, occupied one OF the five
cottages Trevelyan built on land near his
house All those seated at the table in the
darkened pretended to consider table
tipping and rapping a childiSh amusement
and they were startled when spirit mes
sage stated that Capt. Treveyan had been
murdered. Through snow impossible for au
tomObiles Burnaby started TO walk the 6
miles and found his friend dead. He had
been struck on the head by green baize
tube used to lay by the door crack to keep
out drafts The murderer entered through
an unlocked French window. 1t had been
shut and splintered from the outside to give
1t the appearance of forcing. Police Inspector
Narracott questioned Robert Evans, a re-
tired naval man, who worked for Treyelyan.
He said his master had let him go home
early as he had nothing for him to do the
afternoon OF the murder.

BY JOSEPH GRIGG.

LONDON, June 17.-At a time when
1t Is being strongly argued by some OF
the old salts that the cadets who are
one day to be officers in the Kings
navy should do a spell OF work before
the mast and should know all about tns
handling of sailing ships, steps are be-
ing taken by the admiralty to make the
lot of the ordinary jack tar softer.
The shellbacks who figure in stories
and poetry as the men who go down to
the sea in ships and as being as con-
tent with salt horse and hardtack as
with Lucullan feast are said to be
perturbed over the Sartorial and dietetic
changes made for the lads who con-
StItute the nations first line of defense.
Trousers to Be Changed.
Having given the sailors menu a
careful once over to see that they will
not be minus any vitamins and will
have a wide range Of good chow served
appetiZingly the admiralty experts
have now planned sartorial changes II
has been decided to do away with bell
bottom trousers and the Y opening in
all jumpers is to extend to che inch

that there are many cupooards at Sitta-

female to understand the value of cup

would have been thc cOmmon-SenSe

But there, the Capting couldn't bear
the idea of any one messing around
with his things So take EN- along We
did. and as 1 say. it was job. and
came expensive, too. But there, those
things of the Capting's was like his

Inspector Narracott nodded, thought
fully.
This Mrs Willett," he said, casually,
was she an old friend or acquaintance
of the Captain's?"
"Oh! no, sir; she was quite stranger
to him"
You are sure of that?" said the
inspector, sharply. Il ask because it is
a very curious time of year for a let
On the other hand, if this Mrs Willett
was acquainted with Capt. Treyelyan
and knew the house, she might have
written to him and suggested taking
it,

Inspector Narracott frowned. He
found this business of the letting Of
