LoiiIko'h Imagination had run away
with her. Tho outer door was closed
and locked, and the atalrcaso curved
above us, for all tho world llko any
other stnlrcuso.
Hsilsvy, who had never taken seri
ously my account of tho night Llddy
and I wero there alone, was grave
enough now. Ho examined tho panel
ing of tho wainscoting above and be
low the Htairs, evidently looking for a
secret door, and suddenly there Hashed
into my mind the recollection of n
scrap or paper that Mr. .lamleson had
found among Arnold Armstrong's ef
fects. Ah nearly as possible I re
peated Its contents to him, whllo Hal-
soy took them down In a noto-book.
"I wIhIi vim hud told mo this be-

randuui carefully awny. wo lounu
lmck to hco mo I didn't think about
tho tlmo, for his hours wero always
erratic, lint I was afraid I wan too
weak to get down the stairs. Tho
knocking kept up, and Just afi I was
nbout to call Llddy. she ran through
tho room and out into tlio hall. I got
up then, feeling weak and dizzy, and
put on my dressing-gown. If It was
Arnold. 1 know 1 must see him.
"It wtm very dark everywhere, but.
of course, I know my way. 1 felt along
for tin iitalr-rall, and wont down as
Quickly aB I could. The knocking had
ntopped, and I was afraid I was too
lato. I got to the foot of the stalr
enso and over to the door on to the
east veranda. I had never thought of
nnythltig but that It was Arnold, until
I reached tho door. It was unlocked
and opened nbout an inch. Everything
was black; It was perfectly dark out
Bldo. I folt very queer and shaky.
Then I thought perlmps Arnold had
used Ills key; ho did strange things
jiometinicH, and I turned around. .lust
as I reached tho foot of tho staircase
I thought I heard some ono coming.
My norves wero going anyhow, tlioro
in tho dark, and I could scarcely
stand. I got up as far as the third
or fourth stop; then I felt that some
ono was coming toward mo on the
Btntrcane. Tho next Instant a hand
met nilno on tho stalr-rall. Someone
brushed past me, and 1 screamed
Then I must have fainted."
That waB Louise's story. Tlioro
could bo no doubt of Us truth, and tho
thing that made It Inexpressibly awful
to mo was that the poor girl hud crept
down to answer the summons of a
brother who would never need her
vklndly offices again Twice, now, with
out apparent cause, some one had en
tered tho house by means of the east
ontranco; had apparently gone his
way unhindered through the house,
and gone out ngain as ho had entered.
Had this unknown visitor boon there
a third time, tho night Arnold Arm
strong was murdered? Or a fourth,
tho time Mr. Jamloson had locked
some ono In tho clothes eliuto?
Sleep wns Impossible, I think, for
any of us. Wo dispersed finally to

tho worse for her experience. Hut 1
determined that before tho day was
over alio must know tho truo stato of
affairs. Another decision I mndc, ntul
I put it into execution Immediately
aftor breakfast. I had ono of tho
unused bedrooms la tho east wing,
back along tho small corridor, pre
pared for occupancy, and Iroiu that
timQ on Alox, tho gardener, slept
tlioro. Ono man In that bam of a
house wns an absurdity, with things
happening all tho time, and I must say
that Alox was as unobjectionable as
any ouo could possibly havo been
Tho next morning, also, Halsoy and
I made nn exhaustive examination of
tho circular staircase, tho small ontry
at its foot, and tho cardroom opening
from It. Thero wns no evidence of
anything unusual tho night before, and
nothing at all In tho house, and I ex
pected llltlo from any oxamlmUlou of
the porch and grounds. But as we
opened tho outer door something foil
into tlio entry with a clatter. It was
a cue from the billiard room.
Halsoy picked it up with an excla
mation. "That's careless enough," ho said.
"Sonio of tho servants havo been
amusing themselves."
1 was far from convinced. Not one
of the servants would go Into that
wing at night unless driven by dire
necessity. And a billiard cue! As a
weapon of either offense or defense
It was an absurdity, unless ono ac
cepted Llddy's hypothesis of a ghost,
and oven then, as Halsoy pointed out,
a billiard-playing ghost would bo n
very modern evolution of an ancient
Institution.
That afternoon we, Gertrude, Hal
soy and I, attended tho coronor'B In
quest In town. Dr. Stewart had been
summoned also, it transpiring tkat In
that early Sunday morning, when
Gertrude and I had gono to our rooms,
lie hail been called to vlow tho body
Wo went, the four of us, in tho ma
chine, preferring tho oxccrablo roads
to tho matinee train, with linlf of Cas

wo decided to say nothing of Louise
and her Interview with her step
brother tho night ho died. The girl
was In trouble enough as It was.
CHAPTER XVII.
A Hint of Scandal.
In giving the gist of what happened
at the inquest, I havo only ono ex
cuse to recall to tho reader tho
events of the night of Arnold Arm
strong's murder. Many things had
occurred which wore not brought out
at the Inquest and somo things wero
told tin re thnt wore new to me. Al
together, It was a gloomy affair, and
tho six men In tho corner, who con
stituted the coroner's Jury, wero evi
dently tho merest puppets In tho
hanilh of that all-powerful gentlemen,
tho coroner.
Gertrude and I sat well back, with
our veils down. Thero wero a num
ber ol people I know: Harbara Pitz
hugh. In extravagant mourning she
always went Into black on the slight
est provocation, becauso It was becom
ing and Mr .Inrvls, tho man who
had come over from tho Greenwood
club tho night of tho murder. Mr.
llarton was there, too, looking Im
patient as tho Inquest dragged, but
nllvo to every particle of evidence
From a corner Mr. Jnmleson was
watching tho proceedings Intently.
Dr. Stewart wns called first. His
ovldenco wns told briefly, and amount
ed to this: On the Sunday morning
previous, at a quarter before five, ho
had beon called to tho telephone, 'fn
mobsago was from a Mr. Jnrvls, who
asked him to como nt onco to Sunny-
side, as thero had been ati accident
thero, and Mr. Arnold Armstrong had
been shot. Ho dressed hastily, gath
ered up somo instruments, and drovo
to Sunnyslde.
lie wns met by Mr. Jnrvls, who took
him nt onco to the east wing. There,
Just as ho had fallen, wns tho body of
Arnold Armstrong. Thero was ao
need of tho instruments; tho man was
dead. In answer to tho coroner's
question no, tho body had not been
moved, save to turn It over. It lay
at tho foot of the circular staircase.
Yes, ho believed death had boon In
stantaneous. Tho body was still some
what warm and rigor mortis had not
set in. It occurred lato in cases of
sudden death. No, ho believed tho
probability of sulcldo might be elim
inated: the wounds could have been
slMnllU'ted, but with dilllculty, and
there had been no weapon found.
Tho doctor's examination was over,
but ho hesitated mid cleared his
throat.
"Mr Coroner," ho said, "at tho risk
of taking up valuable time, 1 would
like to speak of an Incident that may
or may not throw somo light on this
matter."
The audience was alert at onco.
"Kindly proceed, doctor," the coro
ner ha Id.
"My homo Is In Englewood, two
miles from Cnsnhova," tho doctor be
gan. "In tho absence of Dr. Walker,
a nutnher of Casanova people havo
been consulting mo. A month ago
flvo weeks, to bo exact a woman
whom I had never seen camo to my
office. Sho wns In deep mourning and
kept her veil clown, and sho brought
for examination a child, a boy of six.
The llttlo fellow was III; It looked like
typhoid, and tho mother was frantic.
Sho wanted a permit to admit tho
youngster to the Children's hospital
In town here, where I nm a member
of tho Btnff, and I gavo her one. Tho
Incident would havo escaped me, but
for a curious thing. Two days before
Mr. Armstrong was shot, I was sent!
for to go to the Country club; some
ono had boon struck with n golf-ball
that had gono wild. It wns lato when
I left I was on foot, and about a mile
from tho club, on the Clayburg road,
I met two people. They wero disput
ing violently, mid I had no dilllculty In
recognizing Mr. Armstrong. The wom
an, beyond doubt, was the ono who
had consulted mo nbout tho child."
At this hint of scandal, Mrs. Ogden
Fitghugh sat up very straight. .Innile
Hon was looking slightly skoptlcnl,
and the coroner made a note.
"Tho Children's hospital, you say,
doctor?" ho asked.
"Yes. llut tho child, who was en
tered as Luclen Wallaco, was taken
away by tils mother two weeks ago.
I havo tried to trace them and failed."
All at onco I remomborod tho telo-
gram sent to Lonlso by somo ono
signed F. L. W. presumably Dr.
Walker. Could tho veiled woman bo
tho Nina Carrlngton of tho message?
Uut It was only Idle speculation. I had
no wny of finding out, and the Inquest
was proceeding.
The report of tho coroner's physi
cian camo next. Tho post-mortem ex
amination showed that tho bullet had
entered tho chest In tho fourth left
intercostal space and had taken nn
obllquo courso downwnrd and back
ward, piercing both tho heart and
lungs. Tho left lung was collapsed,
and tho exit point of tho ball had beon
found In tho muscles of tho back to
tho lctt of tho spinal column. It was
Improbablo that such a wound had
been sclf-inlllctcd, and ila obllquo
downwnrd courso pointed to tho fact
that the shot hnd been fired from
alovo. In othor words, as tho mur
dered mnn had been found dead at
the foot of a staircase, It was prob
able that tho shot had beon fired by
some one higher up on the stairs.
There wero no marks of powder. The
bullet, a ::s caliber, had been found In
tho dead man's clothing, and was
shown to tho jury.
Mr. JarvlH was called next, but his
testimony amounted to little. Ho had
been summoned by telephone to Sun
nysldo, had como over at onco with
the steward and Mr. Winthrop, at
present out of town. Thoy had beon
admitted by tho housekeeper, mid hnd
found tho body lying nt tho loot of
tho staircase. He hnd innde a search
for a weapon, but there was none
nround. The outer entry door in tho
east wing had been unfastened and
was open about an Inch.
I hnd been growing more and more
nervous. When the coroner called
Mr. John Halley, tho room was filled
with suppressed excitement. Mr.
Jamloson wont forward and spoke a
few words to tho coroner, who nodded.
Then Halsoy was called.
"Mr. Inncs." tho coroner said, "will
you tell under what circumstances
you saw Mr. Arnold Armstrong tho
night ho died?"
"I saw him first at tho Country
club," Hnlsoy said quietly. Ho was
rather pale, but very composed. "I
stopped thero with my automobllo for
gasolono. Mr. Armstrong had been
playing cards. When I saw him thoro
ho was coming out of the cardroom
talking to Mr. John Halley."
"Tho nature of the discussion
was It amicable?"
Halsoy hesitated.
"They wero hnvlng a dispute," ho
said. 'T asked Mr. Diillcy to leave tho
club with mo and como to Sunnysldo
over Sunday."
"Isn't it a fact, Mr. Innes, that you
took Mr. Bailey away from the club
house becauso you wore afraid thero '
would bo blows?" i
"The situation was unpleasant," '
Halsoy said evasively. '
"At that time had you any suspicion I
that the Traders' bank hail been
wrecked?"
"No."
"What occurred next?"
"Mr. Halley and 1 talked In the bil
liard room until 2: HO."
"And Mr. Arnold Armstrong camo
thero, while you wero talking?"
"Yes. He came about half-past two.
Ho rapped at tho east door, and I ad
mitted ltim."
Tho silence In tho room was In
tense. Mr. Jamleson'B eyes never loft
Ilnlspy'B face.
"Will 7011 tell us tho nature of his
errand?"
"He brought a telegram that had
come to tho club for Mr. Bailey."
"Ho was sober?"
"Perfectly, at that time. Not end
lor." "Was not his apparent friendliness
a change from his former attitude?" :
"Yes. 1 did not understand It."
"How long did ho stay?" i
"About ilvo minutes. Then ho left
by the east ontranco."
"What occurred then?"
"We talked for a few minutes, dis
cussing a plan Mr. Halley had in ,
mind. Then I went to tho stables, '
whoro I kept my car, and got It out." ;
"Leaving Mr. Bailey alone in tho
billiard room?"
"My slstor was thoro." i
Mrs. Ogden Fltzhugh hnd the coun '
ago to turn and oyo Gertrudo througl
her lorgnoii.
"And then?" t
"I took tlio car along tho lower road, '
not to disturb tho household. Mr.
Bailey came down across tho lawn,
through the hedge, and got into tho
car on tho road."
"Then you know nothing of Mr.
Armstrong's movements after ho loft
tho houso?"
"Nothing. I read of his death Mon
day evening for the first .time.
"Mr. Halley did not seo him on his
vmy across the lawn?"
"I think not. If ho had seen him
ho would have spoken of It."
"Thank you. That Is all. Miss Ger
trude Innes."
Gertrude's replies wero fully as con
clso as Halsey's. Mrs. Fltzhugh sub
jected her to a closo Inspection, com
mencing with her hat and ending with
her shoos. 1 flatter myself sho found
nothing wrong with either her gown
or hor manner, but poor Gertrudes
testimony was tho rovorso or com
forting. Sho had been summoned,
sho said, by her brother, after Mr.
Armstrong had gone. Sho had waited
In tho billiard room with Mr. Halley
until tho automobllo had been rendy.
Then bIio had locked tho door at tho
foot of tho staircase, and, taking a
Inmp, had accompanied Mr. Halley to
tho main entrnnco of tho House, ami
had watched him cross tlio lawn. In
stead of going at onco to hor room,
bIio hnd gone back to tho billiard
room for something which hnd been
left thero. Tho cardroom and billiard
room woro In darkness. She hnd
groped around, found tho artlclo sho
was looking for, and was on the point
of roturnlng to her room, when sho
hnd heard somo ono fumbling nt tho
lock nt tho east outer door. Sho had
thought It was probably her brother,
and had beon about to go to tho door,
when sho heard It open. Almost im
mediately thero was a Bhot, and sho
had run panic-stricken through tho
drawing room and hnd roused the
house.
