She could no more commit crime than a small kitten could." "I fancy you're right." said -Stone, half absent-mindedly, “but opinions as to what people can or can't do are not much real use." Have you a theory?" Yes. I have a theory, but the fai ts don't fit it—and it seems as if they could not be made to. Yet it's a good theory." You dor, t mind to tell it to me?" "Why. I'm willing to do so. My theory Is that John Waring committed suicide, but I can't make ar.y facts hear me out. You see, its not only the absence of a weapon, but all ab sence of motive, and even of oppor tunity. ' "Suftly he had opportun.ty—in here alone. It can't be opportunity if he had no implement handy. And ' nothing can explain away the missing wea pon, and the locked room, on the sui cide theory ' "What can explain the locked room, on a murder theory?" Lock wood asked. "I haven t thought of anything as yet. What book was Dr. Waring read.r.g that n.ght?" “There were several on his desk, but the one that was found nearest the body, the one stained with blood, is :i copy of Martial's Ep.grams. ' May I see it. please.”’ Lockwood brought the book and Fleming Stone examined it (carefully. It was not a rare or finely bound edi tion: it seemed more a working copy or a book for reference. It was print ed in Latin. "Ke was fond cf Martial?" asked Stone. "He was a reader of all the classics. He preferred them, of course, in their origtnal Latin or Greek. He was also a modern linguist." Stone opened the volume to the stained page, which was numbered ST. He studied It closely.. "It's all Greek to me” he said, frowning, “even though It's Latin, but I hoped to read something on the page beside the printed text ’ However, the Irregularly shaped red blur gave him no clue, and he re turned the book to Lockwood.
