CHAPTER XVII

Pearl John seemed to have
changed In the few minutes he had
been absent. Gone was the care-free
good humor that had been his most
attractive characteristic. He was
now very much the head Of the
house Of de Forest. His face seemed
to have taken on some Of the lean
craftiness Of his dead brothers. Bob
thought, as he looked at him, that
Pearl John was man against ali
mankind, suspicious and fearing
something that baffled him. A
wave Of pity for this man he liked
passed over him, and he rose and
walked to de Forests side.
Are you sure the knife hasn't
fallen to the floor or something's"
he asked.
positive. The knife was re-
moved with some force. 1t had
to be. A mighty strong arm struck
with it in the first place" He
passed his hand YEARLY across his
forehead. II suppose it won't do
any good to ask If any Of you
know anything about this" His
\ voice was tired. 1.-THE professor"
Suddenly he jerked himself to-
gether and ordered a servant to call
Professor Shaw.
The archeologist had seemed to
have the strongest reason for not
wanting the knife destroyed, and
he was the only one who had been
out Of the room since they had
brought Pearl Pierres body to the
house.
"I'm sending two men down the
trail to Santa Fe tonight" Pearl
John went on. "They can prob
ably get through, even though it
is storming again. The officers
will be here tomorrow morning,
at the latest"
I'm glad you've taken such a
stand, de Forest" remarked Pro-
fessor Shaw, coming into the room
Just then. "You wished to see
me?"
ITO ask if you have the obsidian
knife" said Pearl John.
what do you mean?" the pro-
fessor countered.
Just this. AS you already know,
the knife has been taken again by
some unknown person. Since you
were SO interested in 1t, perhaps you
win be kind enough to hand 1t over
now"
For q moment the professor did
not answer, though everyone in the
room waited breathlessly for his
words. Then he said, matter-of fact
". Il not only do not have the ar
tifact In my possession, but did
not know it was any place but where
we all saw 1t last"
He appealed to the rest of the
group. 1.-The door Of the chapel was

Brain Twizzlers
By Prot. J, ID, Flint

Twizzler Kinsley give us the basic
facts Of one Of the most puzzling
murder cases Of recent years which
hinged upon a peculiar clue.
"A man had been murdered in his
palatial country home. Four sus-
poets had been in the house at diff
9erent times and the chief problem
Of the police was to determine the
time OF the murder. The victim had
been walking through a reception
hall toward a staircase when he
was shot from behind. The bullet
passed through his body and by
chance, pierced the minute and hour
hands Of a large clock, pinning them
together and stopping the clock. I'M
fortunately some unknown person
had spun the hands Of the clock
30 that police couldn't see the exact
time although they knew fairly
closely because they established the
fact that the murder had taken
iUlace between five and six o'clock.

as a whole, occupied the upper brack-
