CHAPTER VIII.—Continued.
“I'ndoubtedly. Why, what could It
t*e hut flight? Miss Innes. let me re
construct that evening, as I see it.
Talley and Armstrong had quarreled
at the club. 1 learned this to-day. j
Your nephew brought Bailey over.
Prompted by jealous, insane fury.
Armstrong followed, coming across by
the path. He entered the billiard t
room wing—perhaps rapping, and be j
ing admitted by your nephew. Just j
inside he was shot, by some one on
the circular staircase. The shot fired, |
your nephew and Bailey left the house I
at once, going toward the automobile
house. They left by the lower road,
which prevented them being heard,
and when you and Miss Gertrude got
downstairs everything was quiet."
"But—Gertrude's story." I stain- j
mered.
"Miss Gertrude only brought for- j
ward her explanation the following J
morning I do not believe it. Miss '
Innes. It Is the story of a loving and I
ingenious woman."
’ And—this thing to-night?"
“May upset my whole view of the j
case. We must give the benefit of I
every doubt after all. We may, for !
Instance, come back to the figure on !
the porch: if it was a woman you saw ^
that night through the window, we
might start with other premises. Or
Mr Innes' explanation may turn us
in a new direction. It is possible that !
he shot Arnold Armstrong as a burg- \
lar and then fled, frightened at what
he had done. In any case, however, j
I feel confident that the body was ;
here when he left. Mr. Armstrong 1
left the club ostensibly for a moon- I
light saunter, about half after eleven
o clock. It was three when the shot j
w as fired "
I leaned back bewildered. It seemed :
, to me that the evening had been full
of significant happenings, had I only
held the key. Had Gertrude been the
fugitive in the clothes chute? Who
was the man on the drive near the
lodge, and w hose gold-mounted dress
ing bag had I seen In the lodge silting
room?
It was late when Mr. Jamieson
finally got up to go. I went with him
to the door, and together we stood j
looking out over the valley. Below
lay the village of Casanova, with its
Old World houses, its blossoming
trees and its peace. Above on the hill
across the valley were the lights of
the Greenwood club. It was even pos
sible to see the curving row of paral
lel lights that marked the carriage
road Rumors that I had heard about
the club came back—of drinking, of
high play, and once, a year ago. of a
suicide under those very lights.
Mr Jamieson left, taking a short
cut to the village, and I still stood
there. It must have been after 11,
and the monotonous tick of the big
| clock on the stairs behind me was the
only sound. Then I was conscious
that some one was running up the
drive. In a minute a woman darted ,
into the area or light made by the
open door, and caught me by the arm. i
It was Rosie—Rosie in a state of col
lapse from terror, and. not the least
\ important, clutching one of my Coal
port plates and a silver spoon.
She stood staring Into the darkness
behind, still holding the plate. I got
her into the house and secured the
plate; theu 1 stood and looked down
at her where she crouched trembling
ly against the doorway.
••Well.” I asked, "didn't your young
man enjoy bis meal?”
She couldn't speak. She looked at
the spoon she still held—I wasn't so ,
anxious about it; thank Heaven, it
wouldn't chip—and then she stared at
me.
"I appreciate your desire to have
everything nice for him.” I went on.
"but the next time, you might take
the Limoges china. It’a more easily
duplicated and less expensive.”
“I haven't a young man—not here.” i
She had got her breath now, as I had i
guessed she would. "I—I have been i
chased by a thief. Miss Innes." i
"Did he chase you out of the house j
and back again?” I asked. i
Theu Rosie began to cry—not si- i
tently. but noisily, hysterically. 1 |
stopped her by giving her a good ]
shake. i
“What In the world is the matter
with you?" I snapped. “Has the day
of good common sense gone by! Sit
> up and tell me the whole thing.”
Rosie sat up then, and sniffled.
”1 was coming up the drive—” she
began.
“You must start with when you
went down the drive, with my dishes
and my silver,” I interrupted, but,
seeing more signs of hysteria, I gave
in. "Very well. You were coming up
the drive—”
“I had a basket of—of silver and
dishes on my arm, and I was carrying .
the plate, because—because I was
afraid I'd break It. Part-way up the ;
road a man stepped out of the bushes,
and held his arm like this, spread out,
so I couldn't get past. He said—he
said—'Not so fast, young lady; I
want you to let me see what’s In that
basket.’ ”
She got up in her excitement and
took hold of my arm.
"It was like this. Miss Innes,” she
said, "and say you was the man.
\\ hen he said that, I screamed and
ducked under his arm like this. He
caught at the basket and I dropped it.
I ran as fast as 1 could, and he came
after as far as the trees. Then he
stopped. Oh. Miss Innes. It must have
been the man that killed that Mr.
Armstrong!”
“Don’t be foolish,” I said. "Who
ever killed Mr. Armstrong would put
as much space between himself and
this house as he could. Go up to bed
now; and mind, if I hear of this story
being repeated to the other maids, I
shall deduct from your wages for
every broken dish 1 find in the drive.”
I could fancy Liddy's face when she
missed the extra pieces of china—she
had opposed Kosie from the start. If
Liddy once finds a prophecy fulfilled,
especially an unpleasant one, she
never allows me to forget it. It
seemed to me that it was absurd to
leave that china dotted along the road
for her to spy the next morning; so
with a sudden resolution. I opened the
door again and stepped out into the
darkness. As the door closed behind
me I half regretted my impulse; then
I shut my teeth and went on.
Warner in an ulster and a pair of
slippers, over heaven knows what.
Jack Hailey was not there. I got in,
and we went slowly and painfully up
to the house.
We did not talk. What we had to
say was too Important to commence
there, and. besides, it took all kinds
of coaxing from both men to get the
Dragon Fly up the last grade. Only
when we had closed the front door
and stood facing each other in the
hall did Halsey say anything. He
slipped his strong young arm around
my shoulders and turned me so I
faced the light.
"Poor Aunt Ray!" he said gently.
And I nearly wept again. "I—I must
see Gertrude, too; we will have a
three-cornered talk.”
And then Gertrude herself came down
the stairs. She had not been to bed
evidently; she still wore the white
negligee she had worn earlier in the
evening, and she limped somewhat.
During her slow progress down the
stairs I had time to notice one thing:
Mr. Jamieson had said the woman
who escaped from the cellar had
worn no shoe on her right foot. Ger
trude s right ankle was the one she
had sprained!
The meeting between brother and
sister was tense, but without tears.
Halsey kissed her tenderly, and I no
ticed evidences of strain and anxiety
in both young faces.
“Is everything—right?” she asked.
“Right as can be,” with forced
cheerfulness.
I Was Conscious That Some One Was Running Up the Drive.
I have never been a nervous wom
an. as I said before. Moreover, a min
ute or two in the darkness enabled
me to see things fairly well. Heulab
Brave me rather a start by rubbing un
exjiectedly against tny feet; then we
two, side by side, went down the
drive.
There were no fragments of cbina.
but where the grove began I picked
up a sliver spoon. So far Rosie's
story was borne out; I began to won
der If it were not indiscreet, to say
the least, this midnight prowling in
i neighborhood with such a deserved
ly bad reputation. Then I saw some
thing gleaming, which proved to be
the handle of a cup. and a step or
two farther on I found a V-shaped bit
>f plate. But the most surprising
thing of all was to find the basket sit
ting comfortably beside the road, with
the rest of the broken crockery pfled
icatly within, and a handful of small
silver, 6poons, forks and the like, on
op! I could only stand and stare,
rhen Rosie’s story was true. But
there had Rosie carried her basket?
\nd why had the thief, if he were a
hief, picked up the broken china out
>f the road and left It, with bis
>ooty?
It was with my nearest approach to
i nervous collapse that 1 beard the fa
niliar throbbing of an automobile en
line. As it came closer I recognized
he outline of the Dragon Fly, and
tnew that Halsey had come back.
Strange enough it must have
seemed to Halsey, too, to come across
ne in the middle of the night, with
he skirt of my gray silk gown over
nv shoulders to keep off the dew,
loldlng a red and green basket under
>ne arm and a black cat under the

Just Lika a Girl.
“Aant Ray!” Halsey said from the
;loom behind the lamps. “What in
die world are you doing here?”
"Taking a walk,” I said, trying to

iwer struck either of us as being ri
itculous at the time. “Oh, Halsey,
where have you been?”
“Let me take you up to the house.”
de was in the road, and had Beulah
ind the basket out of my arms in a
noment I could see the car plainly
low, and Warner was at the wheel—
I lighted the living room and we
went in there. Only a half-hour be
fore I had sat with Mr. Jamieson In
that very room, listening while he
overtly accused both Gertrude and
Halsey of at least a knowledge of the
death of Arnold Armstrong. Now Hal
sey was here to speak for himself: 1
should learn everything that had puz
zled me.
"I saw it in the paper to-night for
the first time," he was raying. "It
knocked me dumb. When I think of
this houseful of women, and a thing
like that occurring!”
Gertrude's face was still set and
white. "That isn't all. Halsey," she
said. "You and—and Jack left almost
at the time it happened. The detective
here thinks that you—that we—know
something about it."
"The devil be does!" Halsey's eyes
were fairly starting from his head. “I
beg your pardon. Aunt Ray. but—the
fellow's a lunatic."
"Tell me everything, won't you. Hal
sey?" 1 begged. "Tell me where you
went that night, or rather morning,
and why you went as you did. This
has been a terrible 4S hours for all
of us."
He stood staring at me. and I could
see the horror of the situation dawn
ing in his face.
“I can't tell you where 1 went. Aunt
Ray," he said after a moment “As to
why, you will learn that soon enough.
But Gertrude knows that Jack and I
left the house before this thing—this
horrible murder—occurred."
"Mr. Jamieson does not believe,"
Gertrude said drearily. "Halsey, if
the worst comes. If they should arrest
you, you must—tell."
"I shall tell nothing." he said with
a new sternness In his voice. "Aunt
Ray. It was necessary for Jack and
me to leave that night. 1 cannot tell
you why—just yet. As to where we
went, if I have to depend on that as
an alibi. I shall not tell. The whole
thing is an absurdity, a trumped-up
charge that cannot possibly be seri
ous."
“Has Mr. Bailey gone back to the
city," I demanded, "or to the club?”
Neither, defiantly; "at the present
moment I do not know where he is."
"Halsey." I asked gravely, leaning
forward, “have you the slightest sus
plclon who killed Arnold Armstrong?
The police think he was admitted
from within, and that he was shot
down from above, by some one on the
circular staircase.”
“I know nothing of It." h« main
tained; but 1 fancied 1 caught a sud
den glance at Gertrude, a flash of
something that died as it came.
As quietly, as calmly as 1 could. 1
went over the whole story, from the
night Llddy and I had been alone up
to the strange experience of Rosie
and her pursuer. The basket still
stood on the table, a mute witness to
this last mysterious occurrence.
“There is something else," I said
hesitatingly, at the last. “Halsey, I
have never told this even to Gertrude,
but the morning after the crime I
found, in a tulip bed. a revolver. It —
it was yours, Halsey."
For an appreciable moment Halsey
stared at me. Then he turned to Ger
trude.
“My revolver, Trude!" he exclaimed.
“Why, Jack took my revolver with
him. didn't he?"
“Oh. for heaven's sake don't say
j that." I implored. "The detective
i thinks possibly Jack Bailey came back.
1 and—and the thing happened then."
“He didn't come back." Halsey said
sternly. “Gertrude, when you brought
down a revolver that night for Jack
to take with him. what one did you |
bring? Mine?"
Gertrude was defiant now.
' No. Yours was loaded, and l was
afraid of what Jack—might do. I gave
him one I have had for a year or two.
It was empty."
Halsey threw up both hands de
spairingly.
"If that isn't like a girl!" he said.
“Why didn't you do what I asked you
to. Gertrude? You send Bailey off
with an empty gun. and throw mine
in a tulip bed. of all places on earth? |
Mine was a 3S caliber. The inquest
will show, of course, that the bullet
that killed Armstrong was a 38. Then
where shall I be?"
"You forget,” I broke in. "that I
have the revolver, and that no one
knows about it."
But Gertrude had risen angrily.
“I cannot stand it; it is always
with me," she cried. "Halsey, I did not
throw- your revolver into the tulip
bed. I—think—you — did—it—vour
self!”

OREGON HAS KINDEST MAN
Panjab River Hermit Refuses to Kill
Wild Animals That Destroy
His Crops.
If you lived In the woods where
bear, deer and cougars actually inter
fered with your farming operations
and devoured your crops, would you
have any hesitation about killing the
offending varmint9? Prank Lotcon, a
German hermit living alone on the
Panjab river in the Blue mountains,
in Oregon, thinks it wrong to kill
wild animals and they bully him un
mercifully.
Although for years he has lived in
a district where all sorts of wild ani
mals are numerous, he has never
killed one yet. "They frequently cause
me much trouble." he says, "but It Is
wrong to kill them."
Recently he awoke in the morning
to see two large cougars glaring at
hif through the w indows of his cabin, j
The mountaineer could easily have
killed both of them, but he said he
had no objection to have them inspect
the Interior of his house. After watch- |
ing him for several minutes, the wild
cats slunk away into the Umber.
A field of corn planted and cultlvat 1
ed by Lotcon with great care, was de
stroyed by a herd of deer. Several
acres of the corn was eaten to the
ground. Mr. Lotcon could easily have
killed the deer the morning after the
animals devoured the corn, but he did
not molest them A big deer recently
created havoc with the irrigation
scheme Mr. Lotcon has carried out on
his farm. Wallowing in the spring '
irom which the water is drawn, the
deer squeezed mud into the ouUet
pipe, stopping it up, and the crops ’
suffered before the cause of the trou
ble was discovered.
Taking all these things into
account. Oregon may claim to have j
the kindest man.
A Burglar's Text Book.
