tell you. that gill's know -dee of my
wuys, am. the manner In which ahe
took hold In the kitchen, are us au-
pernaturai aa unyfIiIiik ever brought
to my notice. The tlrst thliiK I knew,
ahe was peeling the potatoes, nml
peeling tht-ni thin niol clean. She
didn't ask how many would be enough.
When siio cot them peeled and
washed, she put them on. In bollinit
water, with no Inquiry aa to where
1 kept the salt She did not tnlk aa
ahe worked. I vaa glad of that; for.
after three solid hours of converse
tlon, I needed, badly, a silent apace
I wanted to think. Those last words
of hera, “ntier nonsense,'* In answer
to Sams statement, kept ringing In
my ears.
I tried to lldnk whether there was
■ny way a person could get upstairs
without com)tig through the house. W'e
had no tire escapes There wen no
trees close enough to the house that
anyone could awing to an upstairs
window from on»- ot them. There
were no vines growing on the house.
Without about a twenty foot ladder,
which we didn't have on the place,
unit which would ne hard to go con-
veying about, to say nothing of dis-
posing of It afterward, there wns not
any possible way for anyone to get
to the second Ilnur of our nouse, ex-
■ept by mentis of the back or the
jlr-front stairway.
Since tinhy had been killed on the
attic stairway, and since all who knew
shout that sort ot tiling agreed that
she had heen dead at least two hours
when we found her. she must have
returned to the house sometime be-
tween four and tlvp /clock, and have
stolen upstairs with none ot iis see-
ing her. Since she could do that,
there was no reason to suppose that
Someone else could (let have done the
same thing; either coming In with her
nt tlie time, or coming before or after
she did I had to conclude Hint nn
olhei person certaln'y had done Just
that; had entered the house and had
gone upstairs during that hour. Who?
The person whom she had been fear-
ing? Not one of .1*. that seemed a
certainty. And yet. Miss MacDonald
tond said, ••nonsense.’’
I remembered, ngnln, her strange,
mnd actions immediately after she
had received the code letter, t re-
membered how she had look jin the
hall that day. when I had told John
Hint I thought I had seen the ghost
of Sin. In (iahy’a -nte I.. Danny she
hnd written that she h. I purposely
kept her fears and her danger a se-
cret from Danny. Undoubtedly, the
secret was written In the code letter
Mnd she told Danny partly the truth
about the contents of that letter, or
had she told her falsehood* from be--
ginnliig to end? Mr had Danny told
us -inly a part of the truth? Why
did we all keep forgetting how Danny
hnd tried to call (Jnhy hack, when
Guby hnd stnrted on fhnt futal walk?
I have snld before, and I say again.
| knew that Danielle t’anner.lano hnd
not murdered her sister. But I knew,
too. Hint It she hnd some reason,
some better reason than I could con
celve. for keeping quiet, for not tell
tug everything she kuew, Danny was
capable ot so doing, f remembered
our talk In her room on the morning
of the fifth of July. I rememered
how she had acted when her engage
nient ring hnd sllp|>ed from her fin
ger—nnd I tried to turn my thoughts
into different channels.
There was Chad's suicide and his
jonfcssidll. It ct >? he possible that
he hnd killed himself because hj hnd
loved Hnny., But that wojild J»nl ac-
count for his confession to the crime.
It could mean but one thing—a de-
nies to shield some one. Would he
have cared about shielding some un-
known scoundrel who hud crept Into
the house and killed the girl, whom
Chad loved? Mod Chad. then, mistak-
enly inspected Martha, or Sam, or
John, and killed himself and left the
oote to aid one of them? Not likely.

Clews of most Importance:

A* Imtlciiled by her notes for July
eleventh, n that afl--Mi"--ii Mt-s Mac-
Donald had cleaned the attic, thor-
oughly, nml had found mailing to pay
her for tier trouble. Keeping me la
ihe dark, its she had. I supposed,
when she said early next morning that
she wanted to clean the living room,
that she hnd got at least a hut full
of clews from the attic.
Land knows, the way I h.. 1 been
neglecting things, the living room was t
badly In need of a good cleaning. I
wauled her lo allow me to help her,
hut she woii'd not. It was luck that
I happened to come in with the floor
wax Just as she was looking at some-
thing that she hnd dug out of the
ashes in the Mreplace.
“What'S that?" I questioned.
“I hell ve," she answered, “that It
Is the missing key to the little door."
She got up. shook out tier skirts,
nnd went straight upstairs. I trailed
along. I stood hy Rtid watched her
while she lilted Ihe blackened key
Into the link. Il turned both ways, as
smoothly iis you please.
Without bothering to any anything
to me, she went up and down the hall,
trying thr key In the locks of the
other doors. It titled none of them.
She went downstairs again, with sse
trailing after her, nnd fried the key
In all Hie locks downstulrs. It fltted
none of them, either.
"Do you know." she asked, show-
ing lit last that she was conscious of
my presence, which I was beginning
to doubt, “when you lust had a Are
In that fireplace?**
I thought n uilnutp. •<iid then told
her on the night of t... -urth of July,
during the storm.
"Do you remember who kindled tha
lire?”
"It laid heen fixed there, rendy for
the mulch, for weeks. Things have |
gone to rack and ruin tiere lately; hut -
I always used lo see to It that the lire
was set in the ^replace, rendy to light
when needed."
"Do you happen to know who np-
piled the match to the tire thut
night?”
"Mam did.”
"But surely, even though the rain
had come up, n lire on the fourth of
July could not have laen necessary?"
"We don't hnve tiros here when they
nro necessary." I told Imr. "We have
them when they are possible without
absolute suffocation. Halt it pint ot
rain Is plenty <.. excuse for Sam lo
light a lire at any Him*, even If he
has to open nil Ihe doors and win-
dows to cool ofT.”
What I was saying was Ihe honest
truth; hut I had a mean feeling taut
she didn't believe me.
Itlgtit tiere, with apologies to Miss
MacDonald and oilier* of her profes-
sion, | want to say that If they would
just remember that nine times out of
ten a person who pretends to be tell-
llig the truth is telling It. tt would
save them a lot of mistakes, nnd a
lot of worry. The mun who spends
tils time biting his money to sea
whether or not It Is genuine doesn't,
usually, have much of It to bite; to
say nothing of the wear nml tear no
Ids own teeth, which would be con-
slderable.
I wns stnndlng hy the living room
windows, trying to keep my temper
down, with some such consoling
thoughts ns these, when I saw a car
drive up nnd the coroner nnd tt a un-
dertaker getting out of It.
I toi-1 Miss MacDonald the news,
and asked lief what In the world slia
supposed they were coming here for,
nt this time In the morning.
"I heeded to see them again." she
nnsworod. "Mr. Stanley telephoned to
them last coning."

FAMILY DOCTOR
LEARNED THIS ABOUT
CONSTIPATION
142
Dr. Caldwell loved people. Hit
years of practice convinced him
many were ruining their health hy
careless selection of laxatives. He
determined to write a harmless pre-
scription which would get at the
cause of constipation, and correct it.
Today, the prescription he wrote
in 1885 is the world's most popular
laxative* He prescribed a mixture
of herbs and other pure ingredients
now known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, in thousands of cases where
bad breath, coated tongue, gas,
headaches, biliousness and lack of
appetite or energy showed the
bowels of men, women and children
were sluggish It proved successful
in even the most obstinate cases;
old folks liked it for it never gripes;
children liked its pleasant taste.
All drugstores today have Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in bottlei.
