problem of the murderer's way of
escape. When I had finished, he
sighed.

cases." he said with palpable
ennui. IT was hopin' it might be
something new, what?"
But he came into the lounge, and
glanced about him. "You say it
happened in the room above this
one. No footprints outside. I sup

NO." I said, pleased that had
shown enough professional acumen
to have looked for them last night.
Then 1 led him to the scene Of my
search. He glanced cursorily at
the shattered light bulb, and
noted the place in which 1 had
found the knife, stepping back to
glance upward at the window.
Then he stopped to examine the
flower bed, but without disarrang-
ing the crease in his beautifully
cut trousers. Finally he stepped
back again and remained quite
motionless, staring up at the win
dows above him.
AS he did so I examined this
young man. I had heard of him
first some 10 years ago, and was
surprised to find now that he ap-
peared no older. But perhaps
among other secrets he had dis
covered that of changeless youth.
The length of his chin, like most
other things about him, was ex-
cessive. But I liked him, because
from the moment he arrived at
that house the somewhat macabre
atmosphere of the previous eve
ming was dissipated. His cheerful
and inquisitive nature seemed to
discourage any morbid dwelling on
the horror Of Mary Thurston's
death, and to induce everyone,
whether bereaved or guilty, into a
pleasant and eager state of curl
osity.

the sportsman, said a rather tact
less thing to Alec Norris. the
novelist.
"Well," he said, cit seems that
already your theory about murder
has been proved to be wrong"
I had forgotten all about that
conversation over the cocktails.
The recollection gave me a start.
But the effect of the remark on
Norris was quite unexpected. He
answered in a high-pitched voice,
shrill with hysteria.
eyes," he said, II must have
been wrongw And he began to
utter a laugh, which was low at
first, grew louder and higher, until
DR.. Tate, who was standing beside
him, struck him across the mouth.
Norris stopped at once. "I'm
sorry" he said.
I'm sorry, too" said DR.. Tate.
"But it's the only thing to do with
hysteria. Couldn't have you wax
ing the household. It's long past
midnight"
Quite early the next morning
those indefatigably brilliant pri-
vate investigators, who seem to be
always handy when murder has
been committed, began to arrive.
I had some knowledge of their
habits, and guessed at once what
had happened to bring them there.
One had probably been staying in
the district, another was a friend
Of DR.. Tate's, while a third, per-
haps, had already been asked to
stay with the Thurstons. At any
rate, it was not long before the
house seemed to be alive with
them, crawling about on floors, ap-
plying lenses to the patchwork,
and asking the servants the most
unexpected questions.
The first on the scene was Lord
Simon Plimsoll. He stepped out
Of the foremost Of three Rolls
Royces, the second Of which con-
tanned his man-servant, whose
name I afterwards learned was
Butter6eld, and the third, a guam
tity of Photographic apparatus. I
happened to be outside the front
door at the time, and heard him
address his man. I was at first a
little startled at his idiom, for it
reminded me of a dialogue had
heard in a cabaret between two
entertainers whose name I believe
was Western, and it took me a
few moments to believe that this
was his natural mode Of speech.
He handed me cigar of super
lative quality, and invited me to
spill the beans. This did at
some length. I told him in detail

CHAPTER 8

WHAT 1 QOnC understand
said Williams, lis how Rider came
to be beside Mary Thurston's bed,
within half an hour of the murder.
He left to go home long before IL,
and the Vicarage is only just
across the orchard"
Gould anyone have telephoned
to him 2" asked Strickland.
Impossible. The telephones
out of order. Wires cut, probably"
'Then he can never have gone
home," I said.
Williams rang the bell. "We'l
ask STALL" he said. Rider told us
that he let him in"
The butler came. But I felt
at once, looking at him, that he
was on his guard. He glanced
from one to another Of us, as
though wondering whence the at
tack would come.
"Oh, STALL" said Williams, did
you see Mr.. Rider out 2"
ION which occasion, sir? When
he first left the house, before Mrs.
Thurston had retired, saw him
out"
II see. When did he return ?"
''It must have been 10 minutes
or a quarter of an hour after :.
the discovery, sir"
For whom did he ask ?"
For DR.. Thurston, sir"
"And did you show him into the
lounge ?"
mo, sir. It was just then that
the parlor-maid was took 'ysteri-
cal, sir. Very 'ysterical, she was.
And 1 was 'urrying back to the
kitchen. I left Mr.. Rider to go
into the lounge himself. did not
see him again, sir"
''He said nothing to you beyond
asking for DR.. Thurston?
mo, sir. Nothing. But he
seemed agitated, sir"
Il see. You go to his church,
don't you, Stall ?"
Eyes, sir. I sing in the choir.
Bass, sir"
THANK you, Stall. You'd better
get to bed now"
When the door was closed we
exchanged glances, as though each
wanted to see what the others
thought of it..
"EXtfaordinary-about Rider"
said after a moment. But no one
answered. So much was extraordi-
nary. And so very extraordinary.
Leaning back in my chair be-
gan considering each of the men
who were in that house separately,
as possible murderer. It was not
a pleasant occupation, for there
was not one of them to whom I
wished evil, or whom had hither-
to really disliked. But as each one
presented himself to my doubt, I
was faced again and again by the
same blank wall. How had he got
out? Those two bolts-I had
pulled them back myself. Whoever
had done it, if natural laws ex-
listed still, had left that room dur
ing the few moments it had taken
us to run upstairs and break down
the door. But how? How? I
felt as though the doubt would
lead me to madness. There was
no way out of that room.
At last we decided to turn in.
But when we were standing, wait
ing for someone to lead the way

 No Limit
 At present there is no city speed limit, members of the police depart ment being instructed to make ar- rests for speeding when drivers are operating their cars at speeds which are unreasonable in view of condi- tions.
 Supt. Roach is seeking to learn whether he can, under the broad powers he holds, set up speed limit merely as police regulation, or whether a city ordinance must be passed by the board of aldermen In either case, it is believed, the proposed speed limit plan would have to win the approval of the state traffic commission.
 Reduce Accidents
 The superintendent is hopeful that the accident prevention work, carried on so successfully here last year, can be even improved this year. A speed limit, he believes, might aid that improvement.

 Manning was injured while work ing as an iron worker on public warehouse in the process of erection in New Britain.
 His first claim was filed against the City of New Britain, and it was this that Commissioner Lynch de- cided. In his opinion, Commissioner Lynch stated that the occupation did not warrant the payment of compensation. No appeal was taken from this but a claim was then filed against the state, with similar result, the commissioner holding that there existed no contract of employment between Manning and the State.
 The supreme court held that pay ments made to Manning from the reserve fund were really of the same nature. as the payment he would receive under the compensation act. receive under tn compnsation act.
