"Come in, by all means,” she said. '
“If I was able to resist you, I should '
not do so. for you won’t fipd my

Roake stepped inside, and though
he intimated that he did not require
to be personally conducted, Mar-
garet Insisted on accompanying him
over the house. Passing th® carved
panel in the first floor corridor, she
was a little anxious lest Guy’s lack
of a square, meal should tempt him
to disclose himself, but fortunately
Roake was talking rather loudly at
the time, and she remembered that
the C. L D. man's voice was known
to the fugitive. Anyhow, the danger
point was passed in safety.
Upstairs and downstairs the co-
verts were drawn blank.
"You have been everywhere ex-
cept to the kitchens and servants'
hall,” said Margaret. "Shall I take
you there? The staff is at supper.”
Stroking his chin, Roake affected
to consider. "On,the whole, I think
not,” he replied. "Sir Guy isn’t the
man to hide under a housemaid’s
petticoat, and if I slip out without
being seen by the servants, It will
save you a lot of awkward explana-
tion, miss.”
"And you a confession of making
a gross miscalculation.” Margaret
could not resist administering the
nasty dig.
It was nearly dark now, and she
had switched on the lights in the
hall, bringing Roake s scowl at the
affront into ugly relief.

make head nor tail of what e says.
Seems mighty scared, anyhow."
“Fetch him in,” said Roake.
Half a minute later a young fellow
in breeches and gaiters appeared,
and he was in a truly deplorable
condition. His chubby face was
■crewed into fantastic contortions
and he could only bleat one word:
“Strangled!"
And though the inspector bullied
and cajoled by turns for a quarter
of an hour, not another word could
he extract from those quivering lips.
It was always, and only, "Stran-
gled!”
"Well,” said the Inspector, gloom-

PAVING FOURTH STREET Is
back again with the city coun-
cil. this time backed by a delega-
tion of 11 Austin business men. The
city council named a committee to
make a survey of the proposition of
paving the street, which is merely a
postpofment of the Inevitable. The
condition of th® street is already
well known, snd the committee's re-
port more than likely will be on the
best and quickest means of remey-
Ingthis condition. •
Not so long ago the greater part
of Austin’s traffic was on one street.
Only one intersection needed the
direction of a traffic officer, and
that only occasionally. Now there
is a heavy stream of traffic on a
half dozen streets. including the
heretofore seldom used Fourth
street. New streets, which before
were little traveled, now are
jammed. Five traffic beacons di-
rect pedestrians and vehicles where
on® sufficed before. Austin is
growing You might say it to
“galloping” in its expansion. Civic
leaders, as well at city officials
must nooner nt later put "thelr
heads together for a permanent pro-

I see fit. Well, I do see fit. Doubt-
less you will raise no objection and
we need not trespass on you for

wager Detective BlIssett won't want

Inspector Roake made his way
back to the inn well pleased with
himself. In the tray of viands he
had unearthed Indubitable proof
that Sir Guy was hidden somewhere
at the Grange. In plinting young
Blissett at the house he had taken
a step which would starve the

he v ould at once feel the handcuffs.

landlord entered the coffee room
