Blakeley nnd an amateur de tectlvo Investigate the homo of Sullivan's sister, CHAPTER XXIV. Continued. Hotchklss felt certain that It had been Sullivan, but I was not so sure. Why would ho have crawled llko a thief Into his own liouso? ir ho had crossed tho park, as seemed probablo, when wo did, ho had not mado any attempt to uso tho knocker. I gave It up finally, nnd mndc an effort to con ciliate tho young woman In tho towor. Wo had heard no sound since our spectacular entrance Into her room. I wus .distinctly uncomfortable, ns alone this tlmo, I climbed to tho towor Btnlrcase. Reasoning from before, sho would probably throw a chair nt mo. I stopped nt the foot of tho stair case nnd called. "Hello up there," I said, In ns do bonnalr a manner ns I could summon. "Good morning. WIo gcht cs bcl Ihnen?" No reply. "Bon jour, mademoiselle" I tried again. This tlmo there was a move ment of somo sort from nbovo, but nothing fell on me. "I wo want to apologize for rous Ing you so or unexpectedly this . morning," I went on. "Tho fact Is, wo wanted to talk to you, and you you were hard to waken. Wo aro travel ers, lost In your mountains, nnd wo cravo a breakfast and an audience." Sho came to tho door then. I could feel that sho was investigating tho top of my head from above. "Is Mr. Sul livan with you?" sho nskod. It was tho first word from her, and sho was not Bure of her voice. "No. Wo aro alono, If you will como down and look at us you will find us two perfectly harmless people, whoso horse curses on him depart ed without leave last night and loft us at your gate." Sho relaxed somewhat then and came down a step or two. "I was afraid I had killed somebody," sho said. "The housekeeper left yester day, and tho other maids went with her." When sho saw that I was com paratively young nnd lacked tho ear marks of tho highwayman, sho was greatly rollovcd. Sho was Inclined to fight shy of Hotchkiss, however, for somo reason. Sho gave us a breakfast of a sort, for there was llttlo in tho ihouse, nnd afterward wo telephoned 'to tho town for a vehicle. Whllo Hotchklss examined scratches and re placed the Bokhara rug, I engaged Jennie in conversation. "Can you tell me," I asked, "who la managing the estate slnco Mrs. Cur tis was killed?" "No one," she returned shortly. "Has any member of tho family been hero since tho accident?" "No, sir. There was only tho two, nnd somo think Mr. Sullivan was killed as well as his sister." "You don't?" "No," with conviction. "Why?" Sho wheeled on mo with quick sus picion. "Aro you a dotectlvo?" she de manded. "No." "You told him to say you repre sented tho law." "I am a lawyer, Somo of them mis represent the lnw, but I " Sho broke in impatiently. "A sheriffs officer?" "No. Look hero, Jonnlo; I am all that I Bhould bo. You'll havo to bo Hove that. And I'm in a bad position through no fault of my own. I wnnt you to answer somo questions. If you will help mo, I will do what I can for you. Do you livo nenr hero?" Her chin quivered. It was tho first sign of weakness she had shown. "My homo is In Pittsburg," sho Bald, "and I haven't enough money to get there. They hadn't paid my wages for two months. They don't pay any body." "Very woll," I returned. "I'll send you back to Pittsburg, Pullmnn in cluded, If you will tell mo somo things I want to know." Sho agreed eagerly. Outside thq window Hotchklss was bending over, examining footprints in tho drjvo. "Now' I began, "thoro has been a Miss West staying hero?." "Yes." i 1 ' ' "Mr. Sullivan was attentlvo"ta Her?"

I -could not keep tho excitement out of my voice. "No. Thoro wcro reasons" sho stopped abruptly. "Do you know anything of tho fam ily? Aro they wero thoy Now York ers?" "They came from somowliero In tho south. I havo heard Mrs. Curtis Bay her mother was a Cuban. I don't know much about them, but Mr. Sulli van had a wicked temper, though ho didn't look it. Folks say big, Hght haircd peoplo aro easy going, but I don't bollovo It, sir." "How long was Miss West hero?" "Two weeks." I hesitated about further question ing. Critical as my position was, I could not pry deeper Into Alison West's affairs. If she had got into tho hands of adventurers, ns Sulllvnn and his slstor appeared to havo been, alio was safely away from them ngnln. But something of the situation in tho car Ontario was forming Itself In my mind: tho Incident at tho farmhouso lacked only motivo to be complete. Wn3 Sullivan, after all, a rascal or a criminal? Was tho murdcror Sulli van or Mrs. Conway? Tho lady or tho tiger again. Jennio was speaking, "I hopo Miss West was not hurt?" sho asked. "Wo liked her, all of us. Sho waB not llko Mrs. Curtis." I wanted to say that sho was not llko anybody in tho world. Instead "Sho escaped with somo bruises," I said. Sho glanced at my arm. "You wero on tho train?" "Yes." Sho waited for more questions, but nono coming, sho went to tho door. Then sho closed It softly and came back. "Mrs. Curtis is dead? You aro sure of It?" Bho aBked. "She was killed lnstuntly, I bo llovo. Tho body was not recovered. But I .havo reasonB for believing that Mr. Sullivan is living." "I know It," she Bald. " I think he was horo the night beforo last. That is why I went to tho tower room. I bollovo ho would kill mo If ho could." As nearly as her round and comely fnco could express It, Jcnnlo's ex pression wns tragic at that moment. "I mado a quick resolution, nnd acted on it at once, "You aro not entirely frank with me, Jennio," I protested. "And I am going to tell you moro than I havo. Wo aro talking nt cross purposes. "I was on tho wrecked train, in tho samo car with Mrs. Curtis, Miss West and Mr. Sullivan. During the night thoro was a crime committed In that car and Mr. Sullivan disappeared. But ho left behind a chain of circum stantial ovldenco thnt involved mo completely, eo that I may, at any tlmo, bo arrested." App'arontly Bho did not comprehend for o moment. Then, ns If tho mean ing of my words, had Just dawned on her, she looked up and gasped: "You mean Mr. Sullivan committed tho crimo himself?" , "I think ho did." "What wns it?" "It was murdor," I said deliberately. Her hands clenched Involuntarily, and oho shrank back. "A woman?" Sho .could scarcely form nor words. "No, a man; a Mr'. Simon IJarrlngi ton of Pittsburg." j Her effort to retain hor Bolf-control wns pitiful. Then sho broko down nnd cried, her head on tho back of a tall chair. "It was my fault," sho said wretch cdly, "my fault. I Bhould not havo sent them tho word." After a fow minutes sho grow qulot. Sho seemed to heBltato over souiO' thing, nnd finally determined to say it, "You will understand bettor, sir, when I ony that I was raised In tho Harrington family. Mr. Harrington wns Mr. Sullivan's wlfo's father!" CHAPTER XXV. At the Station. So it had been tho tiger, not tho lady! Woll, I had bnld to that theory nil through. Jennio suddenly be enmo a valuable porson; If necessary sho could provo tho connection bo- tween Sullivan and tho murdorcd man, nnd show a mottvo for tho crlmo. I wns triumphant when Hotchkiss came in. When tho girl had produced a photograph of Mrs. Sullivan, and I had recognized tho bronzo-haired girl of tho train, wo wore both well satisfied which gocB to provo tho ephemeral nature of most human contentments. Jennio cither had nothing moro to nay, or feared sho had said too much. Sho wns evidently uneasy beforo Hotchklss. I told her that Mrs. Sulll vnn wns recovering In a Baltimore hospital, but sho already know It, from somo sourco, and morcly nodded. Sho mado a fow preparations for lenv lng, whllo HotchklBs and I compared notes, nud then, with tho cat in hor arms, sho climbed Into tho trap from tho town. I sat with hor, and on tho way down sho told mo a llttlo, not much. "If you sco Mrs. Sullfvan," sho ad vised, "and sho is conscious, sho prob ably thinks that both her husband nnd hor fnthor woro killed In tho wreck. Sho will bo In a bad way, sir." "You mean that sho still cares about hor husband?" Tho cat crawled over on my knoe, and rubbed its hend against my hand invitingly. Jennio stared at tho un dulating lino of tho mountain crests, a colossnl surf against a blue ocean of sky. "Yea, sho cares," sho said soft ly. "Women nro mado llko that. They say they aro cats, but Peter thero in your lap wouldn't como back and lick your hnnd if you kicked him. If If you havo to toll her tho truth, bo as gentlo as you can sir. Sho has been good to me that's why I havo played tho spy hero all summer. It's a thank less thing, spying on peoplo." "It is that," I agreed soberly. Hotchklss and I arrived in Washing ton lato thnt ovenlng, nnd, rather than arouso tho household, I wont to tho club. I was nt tho ofllco early tho next morning and admitted mysolf. McKnight rarely appeared beforo half after ten, nnd our modest ofllco forco somo tlmo nfter nlno. I looked over my previous day's mall and waited, with such pationco bb I possessed, for McKnight. In tho interval I called up Mrs. Klopton ail announced that I would dino at homo that night. What my household subsists on during my numerous nbsenccs I havo novor dis covered. Tea, probably, and crackers. Dllllgont search when I havo mado a midnight nrrivnl, novor reveals any thing moro Biibstantial. Possibly I im nglno It, but tho announcement that I am about to make a TJournoy always scorns to crbato a general atmosphoro of depression throughout tho houso, ns though Euphemla and Eliza, and Thomas, tho stableman, woro already subsisting, In imagination, on Mrs. Klopton s meager faro. So I called hor up and nnnounced my arrival. Thoro was something un usuitl In hor tone, ns though her thront was tenso with Indlgnntlon. Al ways shrill, her elderly volco rasped my car painfully through tho ro- colvor. "I havo changed tho butcher. Mr. Lawrence, sho announced portentous ly. "The last roast wns a pound short, nnd his mutton-chops any nclt-rc-spcctlng sheep would refuoo to ac knowledge thorn." As I said beforo, I can always tell from tho volco In which Mrs. Klopton convoys tho most lntlirforcnl matters, if something of real nlgnincnnoo has occurred. Also, through long hnbit, I navo learned how quickest to bring hor to tho point. "You nro pessimistic this morning," I returned. "What's tho matter, Mrs. Klopton? You haven't used that tone Blnco Kuphcmla baked a plo for the lcoman. Whnt Is It now? Somebody poison tho dog?" Sho cleared hor throat. "Tho houso hnn boon broken Into, Mr. Lawrence," sho said. "I havo lived In tho best families, nnd novor havo I stood by and scon what I saw yesterday overy bureau drawer openedt and my my most sncred be longings" sho choked. "Did you notify tho pollco?" I asked sharply. "Pollco!" Bho sniffed. "Pollco! It wbb tho polico that did it two dctoc tlvcs with n search wnrrant. 1 I wouldn't dnro tell you over tho tolc phono whnt ono of them snld whou ho found tho whisky nnd rock enndy for my cough." "Did thoy tnko anything?" I de manded, every nervo on edgo. "Thoy took tho cough modicino," sho returned Indignantly, "nnd thoy said" "Confound tho cough modicino!" 1 was frantic. "Did they, tnko anything olso? Woro thoy In my dressing room?" "Yea. I threatened to buo them, nnd I told them what you would do whon you cumo bnck. But thoy wouldn't llston. Thoy took away that black sealskin bag you brought homo from Pittsburg with you!" I know thon that my hours of froo dom wero numbered. To havo found Sullivan nnd thon, in Bupport of my caso against him, to havo produced tho bag, minus tho bit of chain, had been my Intention. But tho pollca tho bag, and, boyond knowing somo thing of Sullivan's history, I wns prao tlcnlly no nearer his discovery than beforo. Hotchklss hoped he had hit man In tho houso off Washington Circlo, but on tho very night ho had seon him Jonnlo claimed that Sulli van hnd tried to .outer tho Laurels. Thon suppose wo found Sulllvnn and proved tho cntchol and its con- "The House Has Been Broken Into, Mr. Lawrence." tonts his? Sinco tho pollco hnd the bit of chnin it might mean Involving Alison In tho story. I sat down and burled my faco In my hands. Thero was no escapo. I figured It out de spondlngly. AgalnBt mo wns tho ovldenco of tho Burvlvors of tho Ontario that I had boon accused of tho murdor at tho time. Thoro hud been blood-stains on my pillow nnd a hlddon dngger.
