There was no King George

cigarettes between you?"
And he took the parcel Of
butts from his pocket.
Cleveland and Mrs. Phelps
bent forward curiously.
"Why, we came into the hall
and into this room and that is
ALL" said the lawyer. "That
was all, wasn't it," he appealed
to his companion.
1T was indeed" answered
Mrs. Phelps positively. "Are you
certain, Inspector, that you
picked these up in the cellar?
These are the brand that I
always smoke and I see on
them some Of my Hp-stick-or
up-stick that is exactly like
mine. II you had picked them
up anywhere else I Wouldn't

I've smoked hundreds Of them

MRS. Deane says that they
were not on the basement floor
the morning before the murder
and we found them the next
morning. Someone smoked these
in the cellar while awaiting an
opportunity to murder Mrs.
Paige"
But both Cleveland and Mrs.
Phelps shook their heads in
denial. They had no explana-
ton to offer.
"'This is the truth as God
is my Witness" protested the
lawyer warmly. "I have made
a clean breast Of everything I
know"
Every well, SIR" replied An
derson. "What you say may be
true in part or altogether. I
don't know yet. Now let me
ask you-when you. left Mrs.

But the inner drawer was un-

why Mr.. Cleveland came to talk
to you this morning. We were
anxious to know if the police
had found them"
THAT'S all true" put in the
lawyer.
Anderson'S face wore a queer
expression, just as if some
strange and new idea were be-
ginning to dawn in his mind.
But his eyes were far away
and very steely.

There was silence.

Mrs. Phelps in chorus.

"No."

returned to this very house

here alone and had a second

Cleveland shook his head.

clared. "The next time 7 saw
her she was-dead!"
"Then why did you park
your car up there just off the
Paige lane and why were you
seen coming from this house
about 2 o'clock in the morning?"
IT wasn't" replied Cleveland,
with great finality. my car
was never parked where you
mentioned at any time that
night and the only time that
I left this house was with Mrs.
Phelps at about midnight"
Anderson passed his hand
over his forehead YEARLY.

will let it go at that for the
time being. Thank you for
coming to me, Mr.. Cleveland
and you, too, Mrs. Phelps. I
want a chance to think your
story over and then I expect
there will be some more ques-
lions that I shall want you
both to answer. Mrs. Phelps,
there is nothing that you want
to add, is there? Mr.. Cleve-

you know?"
