"What can it be?" Lockwood asked,
helplessly. "How can a young gtrl like
that have a real sec ret, that so per
vades ana surrounds her whole life
that she w.U give no h.nt of .t? Who
is she? What is she? Why is she

No." agreed Stone. If that were *
all. why the mystery about her home I

She has." assented Lockwood. ’
"But may it not be ;nst a twist of
her humorous nature’’ I assure you 1
she is roguishly inclined.
"No: it isn't a Joke." F sby said,
frowning at the thought. She's got
a real secret, a mystery that means a
whole lot to her—and probiy to other ,
people. Well. F. Stone, I guess it's
up to me to- go out and seek her

"I'm glad Mr. Trask called you in.
Mr. Stone Lockwud said, slowly,
"but I do hope you won't associate
any thought f Miss Austin with the
crime. 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.
